Exterior Waterproofing & Foundation Protection
Protecting Northern Virginia homes starts with understanding where the water is coming from.
Water around your foundation can eventually become water inside your home. Clifton Waterproofing specializes in exterior foundation waterproofing designed to stop moisture at the source rather than simply treating the symptoms inside the basement. Our team evaluates foundation walls, drainage, grading, groundwater, and runoff to determine why water is reaching the home. From waterproofing membranes and foundation drainage to excavation and exterior water management, we develop solutions based on the specific needs of each property. Our goal is to help keep your basement dry, foundation protected, and home better prepared for Northern Virginia’s changing weather conditions.
WHEN TO CALL
CLIFTON WATERPROOFING EXPERTS
If you’re seeing water in your basement, damp foundation walls, foundation leaks, musty odors, mold or mildew, water stains, cracks, standing water around your home, or poor yard drainage, it may be time to call a professional waterproofing company. You don’t have to wait until your basement floods to have a waterproofing problem. Water showing up after heavy rain, damp areas that keep returning, or water consistently pooling near your foundation can all be signs of a larger issue. Problems with grading, foundation drainage, groundwater, aging waterproofing systems, or improperly directed gutter and downspout runoff can allow water to build up around the foundation and eventually find its way into your home. A professional waterproofing contractor should look beyond where the water is showing up and determine where it is actually coming from. At Clifton Waterproofing, we evaluate the foundation, grading, drainage patterns, soil conditions, runoff, and possible water entry points to determine what is causing the problem. The solution may involve exterior foundation waterproofing, foundation drainage, excavation, waterproofing membranes, grading and drainage corrections, or improved downspout and runoff management. Our goal is to fix the source of the problem, not simply cover up the signs of water inside your basement. If you’re experiencing basement water intrusion, foundation leaks, or drainage problems in Fairfax County or Northern Virginia, Clifton Waterproofing can evaluate your property and recommend the right solution for your home.
Get to know Clifton, the Exterior Waterproofing Eperts!
Clifton Contracting was founded by Chris Sodergren in 1997. As a homebuilder and general contractor serving Northern Virginia, Chris has spent decades building homes, additions, garages, and completing numerous basement build-outs. Throughout that time, Clifton Contracting became known for quality workmanship, craftsmanship, and hands-on construction experience. That experience also showed Chris firsthand that protecting a home from the destructive effects of water is just as important as building it correctly. Exterior basement waterproofing, drainage systems, downspout extensions, and proper grading all play an important role in preventing water from reaching and damaging a home.
In 1999, Clifton Contracting expanded its services with two specialized divisions: Exterior Waterproofing Experts and Egress Windows of VA. The need was especially apparent throughout Northern Virginia, where many homes in Vienna, Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, and surrounding communities experience groundwater levels near or above the basement. Foundation leaks, flooded yards, basement water intrusion, and ongoing moisture problems were causing damage and affecting the value of older homes throughout the area.
“I’d be doing a build-out in a basement and I’d notice water leaking through cracks in the walls, water puddles on the floor, walls seeping and musty smells. In some case the basements had mold, which is a health problem. These issues were the result of poor exterior drainage and I wanted to help solve the problem.”
- Chris Sodergren, Founder of Clifton Contracting & Exterior Waterproofing Expers
