Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Specialist in Purcellville, VA

Customer had issues with water from the egress window installed in the basement of the home.

We recommended the installation of two new dedicated outlets for the new Triple Safe Sump pumps. 

Furthermore, we suggested the installation of a SaniDry Sedona system. This system is highly regarded for its excellent performance in dehumidification and air purification. Installing this would help rectify the issue of egress window leakage by efficiently managing the humidity levels.

Our team embarked on a significant exterior waterproofing project in Lincoln, VA. The job was labor-intensive, requiring us to dig mostly by hand. Our first step was to excavate a trench, exposing the foundation wall from the ground level to the base of the footer. We then removed any dirt and debris from the wall and gave it a thorough cleaning.

Next, we focused on the foundation wall, sealing any cracks, seams, holes, and imperfections. We applied a layer of liquid rubberized waterproofing sealant to the sub-grade walls for added protection against water ingress. Once the sealant was in place, we installed a semi-rigid drain board on the treated walls, securing it with a termination bar. To ensure a watertight seal, we caulked the top of the termination bar.

We then installed a French drain system, embedding it in gravel, enclosing it with filter fabric, and ensuring it drained either to a sump pump or directly to the house's exterior area. After that, we backfilled, graded, and tamped the excavated area.

In addition to the primary waterproofing work, we also undertook several ancillary tasks. Where field conditions permitted, we buried downspouts under grade. We also installed a LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge line and a Gutter Clean-out on the downspout extension.

Finally, to install Waterguard and/or Cleanspace, we had to remove drywall up to 32". However, our responsibility did not extend to replacing the removed drywall. This comprehensive approach ensured that the property was fully protected from potential water damage.

Rich. T. was experiencing water seepage in the finished basement of his Purcellville, VA home, so he contacted NV Waterproofing to provide him with a possible solution to the problem. After assessing the situation, we proposed a full perimeter system of WaterGuard--paired with a TripleSafe sump pump-- along with the addition of CleanSpace vapor barrier, a WellDuct Window Drain, and 15' of additional exterior drainage line with IceGuard. This will ensure that the basement is well protected from any future water mishaps or damage.
