Our Leadership Team

Leading Every Project with Care

Over 40 Years of Experience

Locally Grown, Family-Run,
and Customer-Focused

DMV Foundation Solutions began as Harry Braswell Inc, digging trenches, sealing basements, and doing honest work throughout the D.C. metro area.

As a family-run company based in Alexandria, VA, we grew through referrals and relationships, not ads. Over time, we expanded to offer full-service foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation, drainage solutions, and basement conversions, rebranding to reflect our broader expertise.

Our core approach hasn’t changed: no pressure, just real solutions. We believe in showing up on time, doing it right the first time, and leaving homeowners feeling confident. That’s how we’ve earned trust for 40+ years, and it’s how we’ll keep earning it tomorrow.

I cannot say enough great things about Richard, Nicholas and William - the amazing father and son team that came out today to do some waterproofing work in our basement today. They went above and beyond replacing our sump pump. They rearranged piping to make the space way more functional and usuble compared to the original piping. They were so friendly, answered all my questions and left the space cleaner than they found it. 10/10.

We had water coming into the basement after recent rains and DMV diagnosed the problem and fixed it for a fair and reasonable price. Very happy with the work they did and the price we paid. Definitely recommend!

DMV Solutions really helped us out by encapsulating our crawl space beneath our sunroom. The workers were on time and cleaned up very well after the work was done. We are very pleased with the job.

After struggling with a poor work done on our crawl space by a national company and no help to remedy even though we supposedly have a life warranty. We made it a priority to work with a local business. DMV was wonderful to work with, did't pressure us, explained their recommendation and answered questions in a super timely manner. Their quote was reasonable and best of all they didn't try to upsell us.

I am a huge fan of DMV Foundation Solutions. We recently moved into a new home with a list of items that needed attention. Then, after a heavy rain, we discovered another issue: water was flowing into a basement storage area. I called four or five foundation companies looking for consultations and quotes, and DMV Foundation Solutions immediately stood out. They were easy to schedule, responded quickly, and were extremely thorough in evaluating our home. They looked carefully at both the inside and outside of the property, reviewed the full report from our home inspector, and helped us think through how to prioritize the different repairs. The entire process felt collaborative and solutions-oriented. Their pricing was also the best we received, and they offered very supportive financing options. At that point, we were already excited to work with them. Then we met Richard, Nicholas, and William—the crew that completed the work—and they took the experience to another level. We were incredibly impressed by the quality of their work, their communication, and just how enjoyable they were to work with. This is easily the best team we have worked with on any repair or improvement to our home. They know what they are doing, take pride in their work, and consistently prioritize service, support, and finding the right solution. And they are fun and radiate the most positive orientation. I feel fortunate to have worked with this team and would explicitly request them by name in the future. We would happily work with DMV Foundation Solutions again, and I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them. If you have foundation, basement, crawl space, waterproofing, or related repair needs, I strongly recommend giving this team a call and having the conversation. From the initial evaluation through the completed work, they showed up at every phase of our engagement.

Man... the job was projected 2+ days. They finished in one. I was also credited on a first job towards an overall improvement. They showed up on time, neat, and left the premises as clean as when they came. Big thanks to Richard, William and Nicholas for the hard work from DMV foundations.

YOSVANY RODRIGUEZ

Owner & Foundation Repair Specialist

I began my journey with Harry Braswell Inc., our parent company, in 2019 with what was supposed to just be a summertime gig as a field technician. Over the past five years, we’ve transformed what started as a small initiative into a full-fledged foundation repair and waterproofing company—DMV Foundation Solutions. Initially, we created the waterproofing division to address recurring waterproofing issues in our Build & Design projects. However, with the help of key players and my inability to stay stagnant, we soon expanded beyond that, working with other contractors and broadening our residential services throughout the greater DMV area. Our mission now is to become a trusted resource for all things related to foundation repair and waterproofing for our friends, neighbors, and colleagues.
Growing up, basements were completely foreign to me. I spent the first nine years of my life in Cuba, where they simply don’t exist. My family and I immigrated to the U.S. when I was nine, chasing the classic American dream. Yes, it’s one of those stories! We settled in Miami, Florida—another place with no basements—until I left to attend Franklin and Marshall College (F&M) in Lancaster, PA, on a leadership scholarship from the Posse Foundation. My time at F&M honed my critical thinking and leadership skills, both of which have been vital in growing and running DMV Foundation Solutions.
It’s also where I met my wife, Jane, who plays a crucial role in growing our business while we also grow our family. Jane is a proud Alexandria native, and it means a lot to us both that our family-run business is contributing to the community here.
As a resident of Alexandria, I share Jane’s pride and am committed to making DMV Foundation Solutions a trusted part of the community. We’re here to support our neighbors as they navigate the water-related challenges common to this area. Whether you’re seeking employment, need our services, or simply have a question, we are always ready to help and are just a phone call away… or a short walk down the road if you’re visiting the local favorite, Port City Brewery.

While our specialists offer you a tailored solution to improve your home, I’m the one that gets it done with the help of my hardworking crews.

Russell Corigliano

Waterproofing Specialist

I was born in Buffalo, NY but grew up mostly in Northern VA. I’ve long been passionate about anything and everything water related. I wanted to do more work with stormwater management and helping to protect our waterways from pollutants. Looking at jobs related to water; I was intrigued by interior waterproofing with its relation to helping people protect their homes from harmful effects related to water. DMV Foundation Solutions felt like the perfect opportunity to combine my passion for creative problem solving with protecting homes from water damage. As our Waterproofing Specialist, I bring a unique set of problem-solving skills and a focus on client relations to help homeowners resolve their foundation issues. When not on the job, you will likely find me skateboarding, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, gardening, or fishing.

Originally born and raised in Virginia Beach, I now live here in Alexandria, Va. My husband and I moved here to continue our education. I keep the gears turning behind the scenes here at DMV Foundation Solutions, so our team can bring solid solutions and great service to every job. From scheduling and support to making sure nothing falls through the cracks, I’m here to make the important work we do run smoothly. When I’m not organizing the chaos (with a smile), you can find me out in nature, painting, or planning my next travel adventure. I’m also a huge fan of a good cup of coffee and spending time with my family and furry sidekick Milo.

Strategic Growth Manager

I spent my early childhood in Alexandria, VA – a community I am proud to now serve with DMV Foundation Solutions. I originally joined the company in an administrative role to help lay the groundwork for growth, and now I lead our growth initiatives, focusing on marketing and reporting. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time in nature with my little family. I’m also a devoted volunteer for a local nonprofit that installs flow devices in beaver ponds within the DMV area to promote coexistence. Beavers may build dams, but I like to think we’re both in the business of managing water—mine just involves fewer sticks and more drain board.
