Some homeowners interested in Basement Renovations in Fairfax VA are concerned
with existing water issues in the space. Before getting started, a professional should ensure that the ground next to your foundation slopes away from the
foundation, not towards it. Plus, you should be regularly maintaining and cleaning out your gutters and making sure your
downspouts are discharging their water at least 5 feet away from your
foundation.
If you do have minor leaks, try using a product such as Drylok or Xypex, waterproofer sealers. It
expands as it dries to become part of the wall.If you're still experiencing troubles, consider installing a sump. When the water level in the sump rises too high, a pump kicks on
and draws the water out of the sump, discharging it outside the house.
