Basement Waterproofing Drainage Systems in Fairfax, Alexandria & Arlington, VA
At Summit Waterproofing Solutions we provide interior and exterior drainage system installation for homeowners dealing with water intrusion in their basement.
We often recommend an exterior French drain when water pools around the foundation outside the home and needs to be addressed at the source. This is especially effective in properties where water slopes toward the home, rather than away from it.
For homeowners that only have water intrusion near walkout basement doors, we recommend installing a GrateTrench™ system patented by Grate Products. The simple system includes a drainage channel with a grated cover and it’s typically installed above bulkheads, at the base of basement stairs and across exterior doorways. The GrateTrench™ system is also compatible with the GrateDrain™ Basement Drainage System.
For homeowners dealing with water already reaching their basement floor, we typically recommend a GrateDrain™ perimeter drainage system patented by Grate Products. This system works in conjunction with a sump pump to collect and discharge water out of the basement and away from the home.
Each GrateDrain™ perimeter drainage system is custom built and makes it easy to keep water out.
Installation is quick and efficient, most interior perimeter drainage systems can be installed in less than 2 days.
After installing a GrateDrain™ perimeter system, we provide a “healthy basement certification” as well as a fully transferable lifetime warranty. An HBC Certificate is verification that your basement or crawl space has met all of the qualifications for each level of the HBC Certification process below.
