Photo Album: Arlington Wet Basement and Old Pipes

While digging out the floor of this Arlington VA basement to install a waterproofing system, our Production team discovered old and damaged water piping. These pipes were a contributor to the unwanted basement water the home owners had been experiencing along with external water entering the home. our team was able to work with a plumbing team to coordinate a project to replace the old pipes with new ones that would fit into the waterproofing design we had ready. In the ebd we installed a sump pump that would work in conjunction with the new pipes and other water drainage system to help collect and send unwanted water out of the basement.

Basement Waterproofing and Sump Pump

Our Water Guard systems is now in place along the base of the walls and will deliver water to the newly installed sump pump. Once this gravel is settled it will have a new layer of cement out over it to get the floors back to normal.
