Exterior Waterproofing of Front Stoop in McLean, VA

This McLean, VA basement waterproofing project involved water entering the home through the front stoop and traveling down the foundation wall into the basement. In the before photo, you could clearly see signs of water damage along the back wall, showing where moisture had been making its way into the home. Before the repair, the homeowner was dealing with an exterior water intrusion issue that needed to be addressed from the outside to help prevent future basement water damage.

After completing an inspection, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair exposed the foundation wall down to the base of the footer to properly access the problem area. Our team applied a liquid rubberized waterproofing sealant to help create a watertight barrier on the exterior foundation wall. We also installed a drain board to help direct water away from the foundation and reduce pressure against the wall.

With the exterior waterproofing system in place, this McLean homeowner now has long-term protection against water intrusion from the front stoop area. The basement is better protected from future moisture problems, foundation wall leaks, and water damage, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing the issue was repaired at the source.
