Basement Waterproofing and drainage in Chantilly, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Chantilly, VA contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair after dealing with ongoing basement water intrusion during heavy rainstorms. Like many homes in Fairfax County, poor drainage around the foundation and window wells can lead to water seepage, increased humidity, and the risk of mold growth. The homeowner noticed that water was consistently entering the basement, making the space unusable and raising concerns about long-term structural damage.
After scheduling a professional basement waterproofing inspection in Chantilly, VA, our System Design Specialist conducted a detailed evaluation and identified multiple sources of water entry, including inadequate yard drainage and window well issues. It was clear that a comprehensive basement waterproofing system was needed to fully protect the home.
Solution
To deliver a permanent solution, our team installed a customized basement waterproofing system in Chantilly, VA designed to address both interior and exterior water issues. We began with the installation of the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, creating a durable seal to block moisture and improve the overall basement environment. Next, we installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, a sub-floor solution that captures water at the foundation perimeter and directs it safely to the sump pump.
At the core of the system, we installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump, a powerful, triple-protection system designed to keep the basement dry even during heavy storms or power outages. To ensure year-round performance, we added the IceGuard® discharge system, which prevents freezing and blockages during winter months. Finally, to address exterior drainage concerns, we installed a Flowell system to properly manage yard water and reduce pressure on the foundation.
The result is a dry, healthy, and fully protected basement. This project highlights why homeowners trust NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for basement waterproofing in Chantilly, VA—we provide reliable, long-term solutions that eliminate water problems at the source.
