Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Fairfax, VA
Basement seepage, failed sumps, and hydrostatic pressure against the foundation are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is identified so the loss does not repeat. Groundwater and basement seepage are extracted and dried only after the path from the soil is identified — a wall, a slab, a drain, or a failed sump. Drying the interior without stopping that path returns the same water to the same floor.
Frequently asked questions
The problem is downstream and downstream is the county.
Because the boundary runs through continuous built-up ground rather than around a distinct town, so a pipe can be the city's for one block and the county's for the next. Between those two and the state road network, establishing who holds a given length before it is needed saves a day of being redirected.
This is an independent city surrounded by the county of the same name.
It is, which means the boundary runs through the built area rather than around a distinct town, and the drainage on either side of it is held by different offices. Working out which body holds a particular pipe or ditch, before anything is needed, saves a day of being passed between two sets of records.
It ran off the street and straight into the yard.
Drainage on these streets was laid against the storms of the decade that built them, and modern cells go past that routinely. Once an inlet is at its limit the surplus runs along the camber to whichever entrance sits lowest, which is a route nobody drew. A dated photograph of where it actually goes is what turns a complaint into a case.
