Basement Waterproofing in Washington DC
Water can enter a basement through several different points. Identifying where groundwater is entering is an important part of designing an effective waterproofing system.
Where Basement Water Can Enter
- Foundation walls
- Block wall cores
- Foundation cracks
- Wall-floor joints
- Beneath the basement floor
- Window wells
- Basement stairways
- Utility penetrations
- Exterior drainage problems
How the System Works
Our interior waterproofing systems are designed to collect groundwater and direct it toward a sump pump before it reaches the finished basement area.
The exact waterproofing system depends on the condition of the basement and the source of water entry.

Sump Pump Installation in Washington DC
The sump pump is one of the most important components of an interior waterproofing system. It provides the point where collected groundwater can be discharged away from the home.
Exterior Waterproofing & Drainage in Washington DC
Some water problems are better addressed from the exterior. Depending on the property and source of water, exterior drainage and waterproofing may be part of the solution.
