Basement Waterproofing in and Drainage in Oakton, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Oakton, VA, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair after experiencing repeated basement flooding. Water was entering the basement during heavy rain, creating concerns about property damage, mold growth, musty odors, and the long-term condition of the home.
After completing a detailed inspection, our team determined that the basement needed a comprehensive waterproofing and drainage solution. The goal was not only to manage water entering the basement but also to improve drainage around the exterior of the home.
Solution
Our team installed a complete basement waterproofing system throughout the affected area. WaterGuard® was placed along the interior perimeter to collect water entering around the foundation walls and floor. CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier was added to help direct wall moisture into the drainage system while creating a cleaner and brighter appearance.
We also installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system to provide powerful, reliable protection against basement flooding. This system offers multiple levels of pumping protection to help keep the basement dry during heavy rainfall or high water volume.
To further protect the property, our team installed an exterior drainage system designed to collect and direct water away from the foundation. With the interior waterproofing and exterior drainage improvements working together, the Oakton homeowner now has a much stronger defense against future water intrusion and basement flooding.
