This basement unit condo had pretty severe water damage that was causing mold and a musty odor. Water was entering the unit from a poorly constructed window well and from under the foundation slab.This made it very difficult for the community to get a tenant for the space, so they called NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to come in an permanently fix the problem. We installed a full perimeter system, utilizing our CleanSpace vapor barrier and WaterGuard. Any worries about future water damage are now a thing of the past. The unit is clean, dry, and ready for occupancy!
We addressed a customer's concern regarding a noisy sump pump during operation. To resolve the issue, we replaced their existing sump pump with a Triple Safe Sump Pump. This upgraded pump not only minimizes noise with its airtight lid but also provides additional protection against basement flooding by utilizing a battery backup system. The customer can now enjoy a quieter and more reliable sump pump solution.
Water was entering this McLean, VA home via the front stoop and traveling down the foundation wall into the basement. In the before photo, you can see the evidence of water damage going down the back wall. We exposed this wall to the base of the footer and applied a liquid rubberized waterproofing sealant and drain board. This ensures that there will be no future water issues.
