Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Clarksburg, MD was dealing with water issues in the basement and believed the problem may have been coming from foundation cracks. Basement water intrusion can quickly lead to moisture damage, musty odors, and ongoing concerns every time heavy rain moves through the area. The homeowner wanted a reliable waterproofing solution that would help manage the water and protect the basement from future problems.

After inspecting the basement, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed a trench drain system to help collect and move water away from the problem area. The trench drain was connected from the sump pump inside the basement to an exterior discharge line, allowing water to be safely directed away from the home’s foundation.

With the new drainage solution in place, the basement is now better protected from future water intrusion. The homeowner can feel confident knowing the water is being properly collected, pumped out, and discharged away from the home, helping reduce the risk of future basement water issues.

Waterproofing a complete basement in Fairfax, VA 

We recently had the privilege of working on a critical project in the scenic city of Fairfax, Virginia. A charming home in this historic town was grappling with a common yet worrisome issue - a settling foundation. To make matters worse, this led to the infiltration of water into their basement whenever the skies opened up. Recognizing the severity of the situation, our skilled team quickly sprang into action. Our first step was to install several push piers, which are designed to provide robust support to the foundation. This strategic move fortified the home's base, ensuring it can stand strong and stable for years to come. However, our efforts didn't stop there. We understood that merely strengthening the foundation wouldn't address the other half of the problem - the recurring water intrusion. So, we took the initiative to implement a comprehensive waterproofing system to safeguard the basement against future water issues. We installed our state-of-the-art WaterGuard system, known for its exceptional ability to keep basements dry. As part of this system, we also added a CleanSpace wall barrier, which prevents moisture from seeping through walls. And to top it all off, we included a Triple Safe sump pump, renowned for its reliability in preventing basement flooding. Our dual approach - reinforcing the foundation and waterproofing the basement - has provided these homeowners with a permanent solution to their problems. Now, they can enjoy peace of mind knowing they won't have to deal with foundation or water intrusion issues again.
