We hired Harry Braswell, Inc. to help solve a persistent basement drainage problem at our home in Alexandria. During periods of heavy rain, water would leak onto the floor at the bottom of the foundation wall, soaking the carpet in the corner of the house. The Braswell waterproofing team diagnosed the situation and came up with a practical, effective, and affordable solution. The crew was prompt and efficient, and they left our finished basement in better shape than when we started the job. We would enthusiastically recommend Harry Braswell, Inc. to anyone encountering similar residential waterproofing issues.​

Braswell executed a number of drainage-related jobs at our house, including testing downspouts and drains, installing a battery powered sump, and installing a new and larger outdoor drain by our basement. Terrific, responsive and extremely professional service, all across the board, and the work was executed at $500 less than the original estimate. Absolute top tier of home service providers that I have worked with in nearly 10 years of home owning in Arlington and Alexandria.

Great working with the folks at Harry Braswell. They went above and beyond to help with waterproofing my foundation. Will work with them again.

Highly, highly recommend! We had a crack in the foundation that caused leaking in the basement. Harry Braswell Waterproofing and Excavation (HBWE) was the only group that listened to what we were seeing with the flow of the leak. Every other place we met with (and it was five!) said we needed to dig a trench inside the house at a cost of $20,000 to $50,000. They also told me I was wrong, that there was no crack in the foundation. HBWE was very easy to work with, listened, got us an estimate within days and showed up on time. Lo and behold there was a big crack. They sealed it, put a few layers of sealant and waterproofing on, put the dirt back and it hasn't leaked since. It was substantially far less costly than the others. HBWE also left the place cleaner than they found it, which is amazing they were digging up five feet of dirt and creating large dirt piles. They were great!

We hired Harry Braswell after interviewing multiple companies to perform foundation repairs and waterproofing of our home. We had foundation cracks repaired with carbon fiber straps, the entire concreate slab was broken, removed, and repoured, and interior French drains with vapor barriers added. They were incredibly professional to work and their work was impeccably completed. And the best of all it solved our problem and our basement was bone dry after! Cannot recommend them enough.

Yos, words cannot begin to thank you enough for your guidance & expertise in handling my project. From day 1 you were professional, but most importantly an expert in design, scoping, customer service and that is what made me want to work with you. From start to finish there was excellent communication. I want to thank you again for EVERYTHING! Can't sing your praises enough!

Geoff, Wow!! THANK YOU so much for your expertise and patience in working with me for this project. We got it done!! From day 1 both you and Yos were incredible to work with and I am forever grateful!

Thank you to Yos and his crew. Job well done.

Mr. Braswell, late last fall, Yos Rodriguez had overseen the design and construction of two french drains for our home. We had come to Braswell because of the consistently professional work you have always done for us, such as the bathroom under Jarrett’s daily oversight. French drains are a bit different, as you know. Once an inside construction job is done, you can observe the immediate impact. Not so with a French drain, as it’s almost an “art” to assess the flow of storm water for various rainfalls as it rushes to the street from the hill behind one’s home — none of which the contractor ever sees; rather, must estimate from the homeowner’s comments. And we have seen a number of french drains fail nearby to “do their job.” So we waited to see how this past year’s rainfall was handled —and can only say Yos did a magnificent job, along with his crew. It surpassed our expectations, and we could not have been more pleased at the drains’ performance. But nor could we fail to mention the superb customer relations that Yos also exhibited. It was an incredible professional and personal pleasure to work with such a gentleman, and he made the entire job, frankly, enjoyable for us. Please know, Mr. Braswell, that Yos has shown us once again why we have come to rely upon your company. Thank you for that, very much.
