Basement waterproofing is extremely important because there are few things more threatening to a home than the presence of water. If you’re like most homeowners, you undoubtedly rely on your basement for storage, and if you have spent the time and money renovating your basement, the stakes are even higher. You simply can’t afford to wonder if your basement will start leaking after the next storm. Additionally, small leaks have a tendency to rapidly worsen, so even if you’ve noticed a seemingly minor problem, it is essential that you have our basement waterproofing experts come inspect your Alexandria Virginia home and explain your options.

Here is a brief overview of the basement waterproofing services that we offer in Alexandria, Virginia:

• Internal waterproofing, where a covered trough is installed in the basement to collect any water that seeps through the foundation. This water is then re-routed away from the foundation and out of the home through a drainage system, often with the assistance of a pump.
• External waterproofing, where the dirt immediately surrounding the foundation of the home is excavated and the existing drainage system is cleaned, repaired, and optimized to help prevent water from entering the basement.

• George Washington, long before he was a General and the first U.S. president, was a surveyor in his youth. He did much of the planning for Alexandria’s streets and was an active community member throughout his lifetime. Alexandria was also the city where Washington was first publicly addressed as President (this occurred at Wise’s Tavern).
