Drainage Solutions for Wet Basements in the DMV
Keep Water Out and Your Basement Dry
Our drainage systems are the first defense against a wet basement—redirecting water before it can reach your foundation and cause costly damage.
What Are Drainage Solutions for Wet Basements?
Smart Water Control That Stops Leaks Before They Start
Basement leaks often begin outside your home. Our drainage systems prevent water from ever reaching your foundation by redirecting rain, runoff, and groundwater. With the DMV’s frequent storms and dense clay soils, exterior drainage is a critical piece of any long-term waterproofing strategy.
Surface Drainage Systems
Guide heavy rain away from your home before it seeps into your basement.
French Drains
Relieve pressure by draining subsurface water away from foundation walls.
Grading and Swales
Reshape the ground to encourage proper water flow.
Downspout Extensions
Carry roof runoff safely away from your basement and foundation.
Catch Basins
Collect and redirect pooled water from flat or low areas in your yard.
Our Installation Process
Expert Installation That Keeps Water Out
At DMV Foundation Solutions, every system starts with an in-depth inspection to locate the source of your water issues. We tailor our drainage plans to stop basement leaks before they happen—whether that means installing French drains, regrading the yard, or extending your downspouts.
