Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Burke, VA, was growing increasingly concerned about water pooling in their yard and the risk of it seeping into their basement. Heavy rains would leave standing water near the foundation, raising fears of potential water damage and costly repairs. Wanting to protect their home, they reached out to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for help.

Our Design Specialist visited the property to assess the situation and quickly identified the need for additional yard drainage. The existing setup wasn’t sufficient to handle the water flow, and without intervention, the risk of basement water intrusion would only grow. After careful planning, we developed a comprehensive drainage solution tailored to the property’s needs.

The project involved installing an exterior drainage line to redirect water away from the home’s foundation. We also added a LawnScape outlet for efficient water discharge, a Flo-Well system to manage excess runoff, and an open French drain to improve overall yard drainage. Each component worked together to ensure water was effectively collected and moved away from the home.

The results were immediate and impressive. Water that once pooled dangerously close to the house is now safely directed away, giving the homeowner peace of mind during even the heaviest rains. Not only is the basement protected, but the yard is now drier and more functional.

This project highlights the importance of proactive yard drainage solutions in protecting your home’s foundation and basement. If you’re noticing water pooling near your home, don’t wait—addressing the issue now can save you from bigger headaches later
