Basement Waterproofing Solution in Suitland, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Suitland, MD, was struggling with persistent water intrusion in their basement. After every significant rainfall, water would appear, creating a damp, unreliable space and raising concerns about potential moisture damage and mold growth. Unsure of the water's source, the customer contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a professional assessment. Our team conducted a free, comprehensive inspection and quickly identified the root cause: water was seeping directly through the porous concrete of the basement walls. This common issue, known as hydrostatic pressure, was compromising the entire below-grade area of the home.
Solution
To permanently resolve the basement water intrusion in Suitland, MD, our team installed a comprehensive interior waterproofing system tailored to the homeowner’s needs. We began by putting in the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a patented perimeter channel designed to capture water seeping through the basement walls or along the wall-floor joint and direct it safely to a sump pump. Next, we applied the CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier, a durable, antimicrobial liner that isolates the living space from moisture and helps funnel any infiltrating water directly into the WaterGuard® system. Finally, we completed the installation with a high-performing SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump, which efficiently collects and discharges all captured water away from the home’s foundation, thanks to its powerful cast-iron pump and airtight lid. Working seamlessly together, these three components eliminated the customer’s water issues, resulting in a dry, protected basement and a satisfied homeowner.
