WATERPROOFING SOLUTIONS

Bluestone Foundation Repair offers a variety of basement waterproofing solutions in Alexandria, from sump pumps to French drains and several products and technologies that can seal basement cracks for good. If you notice any cracks or signs of water intrusion in your basement, do not wait to get the problem diagnosed and addressed. Water can seep in through even the tiniest crack, and small cracks are destined to grow over time. The savviest homeowners know that the overall health and structural integrity of their home begins at the foundation, and it must be completely solid and sealed. With that in mind, Bluestone Foundation Repair offers several options for basement waterproofing in Alexandria.

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps are handy machines that give homeowners peace of mind during large rain storms or excessively wet stretches of weather. Installed in a small pit in your basement, a sump pump actively gathers groundwater and pumps it into a discharge pipe, which carries the water away from your foundation. They can also include battery backups so that they will keep pumping water even if the power is knocked out during a storm.

French drains

French drains are essentially underground gutters or pipes that use gravity to run water away from a home’s yard or foundation. To install a French drain, our team will dig a trench line in your yard from a high point to a lower exit point, usually a drainage ditch, street, storm drain, or another low-lying part of the property. Like sump pumps, French drains help keep water from pooling in your yard and seeping down to your foundation.

Crack repair

Over the years, pressure and shifting in the soil around your foundation can cause cracks that allow water to seep in. No basement crack, no matter how small, should be left untreated. Bluestone Foundation Repair can determine the extent of your foundation crack issues in Alexandria and recommend solutions based on your budget and long-term needs.
