Keep Your Basement Dry with Permanent Moisture Solutions
We stop basement leaks, control moisture, and protect homes throughout Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Bethesda, and the greater DMV region with permanent waterproofing systems designed for local soil and drainage conditions.
Is Your Basement Wet or Musty?
Don’t Ignore the Signs of Moisture Damage
A damp basement isn’t just uncomfortable. For homeowners in Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Bethesda, and communities across the DMV region, basement moisture can point to larger drainage, foundation, or waterproofing problems.
If left untreated, water intrusion may lead to mold, structural deterioration, damaged belongings, and lower home value.

Water Seepage on Walls or Floors
Look for wet spots, staining, or puddling after rain.
Musty Odors
Moisture and mildew often go hand in hand.
Efflorescence or White Residue
White, chalky residue can be a sign that water is moving through concrete or masonry.
Mold Growth
Unchecked humidity and moisture can create conditions where mold can grow.
Cracks in Walls or Floors
Cracks may signal hydrostatic pressure, foundation movement, or poor exterior drainage.
Proven Basement
Waterproofing Systems
Custom Solutions for Long-Term Moisture Control
No two basements are alike. A home in Arlington may have different drainage challenges than a home in Alexandria, Fairfax, Bethesda, or Herndon. That’s why every waterproofing system we install is based on a thorough inspection of your foundation, drainage patterns, basement layout, and the conditions around your home.
We use durable, low-maintenance waterproofing systems backed by warranties and designed to help keep your basement dry for years to come.
Interior Waterproofing
Channel water away from your foundation and into a sump pump.
Exterior Waterproofing
Protect your home by stopping water before it enters. Exterior waterproofing helps manage water at the source by addressing the outside of your foundation.
Wet Basement Repair
Find and fix the source of basement leaks with targeted solutions that help keep your space dry, protected, and usable.
Sump Pump Replacement
Swap out outdated or failing sump pumps with powerful, reliable systems that protect your basement from flooding.
Exterior Drainage Systems
Seal porous basement walls with moisture-blocking coatings that prevent water intrusion and efflorescence.

Q: Why Basements Leak in Arlington & the DMV Region
Basement water problems are common throughout Arlington, Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the greater DMV region because many homes deal with a combination of heavy seasonal rain, clay-heavy soils, poor grading, aging foundations, and high groundwater pressure.
When water collects around the outside of your home, it pushes against basement walls and floors. Over time, that pressure can force moisture through cracks, joints, porous concrete, window wells, or weak points in the foundation. In older homes throughout Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, and Bethesda, outdated drainage systems or previous patch repairs may also make water problems worse.
DMV Foundation Solutions looks beyond the visible leak. Our team evaluates how water is getting in, where it is collecting, and what type of waterproofing system will protect your home long term.

Posted on Google C We had a great experience with DMV Foundation. I had cracks in my foundation, and I called a number of companies. Each company suggested a different answer to the problem and estimates varied widely. I ended up hiring an independent engineer to get an unbiased opinion. The engineer's report tracked what DMV told me precisely. Amazingly, this was also the least invasive and most affordable solution. DMV earned my trust. They were honest, fair, showed up on time and did great work. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Corinne Metz Yos and his team really know what they are doing! They inspected our home and told us what we needed. The work that was done looks great and we have no more issues. The team is highly professional, considerate and was flexible with our schedule. They have gone out of their way to accommodate us. You can’t do better than this company!!! They are the best!Posted on Google Kelly Shoop I had a consultation with DMV at the strong recommendation of my neighbor and they did not disappoint. Yos was thorough, responsive, and very patient with all of my questions, including follow up emails. I particularly appreciated the transparency on cost. Would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for waterproofing or foundation repair.Posted on Google LaGaye MacDowall Logan was so patient answering all our questions! Great customer service.Posted on Google Alexsa MacDowall Thankful for this company! Very professional and the office staff is very helpful! Definitely recommend.Posted on Google Logan Landers Russell was nothing short of awesome! Great service, great information. A++!!Posted on Google Randy Harding DMV Foundations is an absolute pleasure to work with! As a contractor who remodels homes, I’ve partnered with them on multiple projects, and they consistently excel at diagnosing foundation issues and water problems accurately and thoroughly. They always provide honest, cost-effective solutions and back them up with a skilled team that executes the work flawlessly. Communication throughout the entire process is top-notch. I highly recommend DMV Foundations and will continue using them for all my foundation needs!Posted on Google Matt Honestly, I am skeptical of home repair contractors generally. But DMV was absolutely 100% fantastic in every way. Water was leaking into my basement and I met with 3 or 4 waterproofing companies. It was clear to me that DMV was different because they were careful before giving their recommendation about how to fix it while the others had the same canned/off the shelf approach that they probably sell to everyone. They came in and did their work as they promised and it fixed the problem. I also contacted them in the middle of the night when I thought I had a gas leak and their response was immediate and excellent. In a market full of pretenders, these guys are serious professionals. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google Simone It would definitely hire DMV Foundation Solutions again if I need to. They came out and quickly determined the problem and offered a solution. They completed an exterior waterproofing project and it completely fixed the flooding I had in my basement.Posted on Google John Murphy This family owned business is incredible. Quick and responsive! thorough! helpful! and reasonably priced!
