Our Waterproofing Services
A damp basement or a musty crawl space is more than just a nuisance; it's a threat to your home's structural integrity and your family's health. We offer a comprehensive range of waterproofing services designed to prevent moisture problems at their source, protecting your home from the humid summers and wet winters of the DC metro area.
Our Waterproofing Solutions Include:
- Basement Sealing & Foundation Crack Repair: We find and professionally seal cracks in your foundation walls, stopping water intrusion before it can cause serious damage.
- Crawl Space Encapsulation: We transform your damp, dirty crawl space by lining it with a heavy-duty vapor barrier. This creates a clean, dry area that improves your home's air quality and prevents wood rot.
- Vapor Barriers: A crucial defense against ground moisture, our professionally installed vapor barriers stop water vapor from seeping into your crawl space or basement.
- Drainage Systems: For homes with significant water issues, we design and install custom solutions, such as French drains and drain fields, to actively channel water away from your foundation.
Our Detailed Inspection Process
We don't just treat symptoms; we identify the root cause of the problem. Our comprehensive inspection process ensures we get a complete picture of your home's health.
- Exterior Evaluation: We start outside, meticulously checking your foundation for cracks, signs of standing water, and any holes or decay that could allow water or pests to enter.
- Interior Moisture Assessment: Inside, we look for the tell-tale signs of water intrusion, including moisture damage, staining, and mold or mildew growth in your basement or crawl space.
- Attic & Pest Inspection: Since water and pest problems are often linked, we also inspect your attic for signs of wildlife intrusion (like raccoons or squirrels) and any related damage to wiring or structures.
