Basement Waterproofing in Washington, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Washington, VA, faced a persistent and frustrating problem: during every heavy rain, water would seep up through the concrete slab in their basement hallway. This recurring water intrusion created a damp environment, damaged flooring, and raised concerns about potential mold growth and long-term structural issues. The water appeared to be coming from below the floor, a sign of hydrostatic pressure forcing groundwater into the home. The owner contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a reliable, permanent solution to keep their basement dry.
Solution
After a thorough inspection, our team at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair designed a comprehensive interior waterproofing system to control the water at its source. We installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system around the basement's perimeter to capture any water seeping through the walls or floor slab. To stop moisture vapor from passing through the walls, we applied the CleanSpace® vapor barrier. All captured water is channeled to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system, which features three pumps, including a battery backup pump, ensuring powerful and reliable removal even during a power outage. This complete system gave the homeowner a permanently dry basement and the peace of mind that comes with a protected home.
