Basement Waterproofing in Gaithersburg, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Gaithersburg, MD, faced a serious foundation water intrusion issue. After heavy rains, water would seep through the foundation walls and around a failing window well, leading to puddles on the basement floor and persistent dampness. The constant moisture created a musty odor throughout the home, raising concerns about potential mold growth and long-term structural damage. The homeowner was unable to use the space for storage or living and needed a comprehensive solution to protect their property and restore healthy indoor air quality.
Solution
After a free, thorough inspection, NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair designed a complete basement waterproofing system for the Gaithersburg, MD, home. We installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system to capture all wall seepage and replaced the faulty window well. The walls were covered with a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to direct moisture into the drain. A TripleSafe™ sump pump was installed to reliably discharge the water, with an IceGuard® attachment to prevent freezing. Finally, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier was added to control humidity. This multi-part solution permanently resolved the water problem, creating a dry, odor-free basement the homeowner can now use with confidence.
