Before tackling this wet mess in Annandale, VA, our customer faced a relentless issue: water invaded the basement closet, rendering the existing sump pump ineffective, suspected due to a clogged feeder pipe. Our solution, captured in these revealing photos, included installing WaterGuard for unrivaled moisture control, and complementing it with CleanSpace to keep the area dry, all while featuring the powerhouse SuperSump to ensure such flooding is a story of the past. Notice in the after photo, tranquility, and dryness restored, showcasing our commitment to delivering remarkable, lasting solutions.
This basement unit condo had pretty severe water damage that was causing mold and a musty odor. Water was entering the unit from a poorly constructed window well and from under the foundation slab.This made it very difficult for the community to get a tenant for the space, so they called NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to come in an permanently fix the problem. We installed a full perimeter system, utilizing our CleanSpace vapor barrier and WaterGuard. Any worries about future water damage are now a thing of the past. The unit is clean, dry, and ready for occupancy!
After NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair conducted a thorough free inspection at a Lorton, VA home, we identified several critical issues contributing to persistent basement water intrusion. The inspection revealed that the original stone patio and stairwell leading down to the basement door had an undersized drain unable to handle heavy rainfall, resulting in water pooling, overflowing, and seeping directly through the basement entryway. During the assessment, our team also noted signs of water damage and inadequate drainage away from the foundation. To address these problems, our basement waterproofing experts replaced the undersized drain with a significantly larger catch basin designed for increased water flow. We then installed a dedicated discharge line to efficiently direct stormwater away from the home’s foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing future basement flooding. To further safeguard the property, we added the TripleSafe sump pump system—a robust, three-pump, battery-backed solution for exceptional redundancy and reliability, ensuring continuous basement protection even during power outages or severe storms. As a result of these targeted measures, the homeowner now enjoys a consistently dry basement, completely free from water intrusion through the basement door, regardless of rainfall intensity.
