Our Story

DMV Waterproofing was built on over two decades of real field experience — not a business plan.

Two civil engineering classmates graduated from the University of the District of Columbia and began their careers in 2005 at ECS Mid-Atlantic’s Chantilly office, working as waterproofing and foundation inspectors across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

For years, they inspected hundreds of foundations, studied DMV soil conditions, traced groundwater paths, and diagnosed water problems that other contractors had missed or misdiagnosed. They learned not just how to fix basements — but why they fail in the first place.

That knowledge doesn’t come from a classroom or a franchise manual. It comes from being on the ground, in the crawl spaces, and behind the walls of DMV homes for over twenty years.

When they decided to start DMV Waterproofing, the goal was simple — build a company that does the work the right way, with their own crews, their own materials, and their own standards. No shortcuts. No subcontractors. No commission-driven sales reps telling homeowners they need work they don’t.

How We Work

Every project starts with an honest inspection — not a sales visit. We diagnose the problem first, then recommend the solution that actually fits your home.

  • Diagnose before recommending
  • Evaluate before installing
  • Engineer before selling

Our Team

Three local branches — Rockville, MD · Ashburn, VA · Manassas, VA — each led by an experienced engineer who personally oversees every inspection and project. Six crews. Three project managers. Every single one of them works exclusively for DMV Waterproofing — no subcontractors, ever.

Our Promise

Every waterproofing system and foundation repair we install is backed by a lifetime warranty — for as long as your home stands. We also offer flexible financing through Wisetack so protecting your home doesn’t have to wait.

Is Your Basement Wet?

Water stains on the walls. Puddles on the floor after a heavy storm. White powdery residue where water keeps seeping in. These aren’t just inconveniences — they’re signs of a foundation water problem that gets worse over time, not better.

Is Your Basement Cold or Damp?

A cold, clammy basement is often a sign of moisture infiltrating through your foundation walls or crawl space. Uncontrolled groundwater keeps temperatures low and humidity high, leading to mold, wood rot, and structural damage.

Sound familiar? We can help. Call 1-833-888-2533 for a free inspection — no pressure, no obligation. Just an honest assessment from engineers who’ve been doing this since 2005.

Does Your Basement Have a Musty Smell?

That odor is a warning sign. Musty smells in basements and crawl spaces almost always mean moisture is present — and where there’s moisture, mold follows. Left untreated, mold spreads through your walls and affects the air your family breathes every day.

Is Your Foundation Cracked?

A hairline crack today becomes a water entry point tomorrow. Horizontal cracks signal soil pressure. Vertical and diagonal cracks indicate settlement. Stair-step cracks mean foundation movement. These aren’t just cosmetic issues — they’re warnings that get more expensive to fix the longer you wait.

We Are Local!

Waterproofing Engineers Serving the DMV Since 2005

DMV Waterproofing was founded by two civil engineers who started their careers in 2005 at ECS Mid-Atlantic’s Chantilly office, inspecting foundations and waterproofing systems across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

Twenty years of studying DMV soil conditions, groundwater behavior, and regional foundation problems doesn’t come from a training manual — it comes from being here, on the ground, since the beginning. That experience is what separates us from national franchises and general contractors who added waterproofing to their service list.

We didn’t pick up waterproofing. We built our careers on it.

Our approach has never changed:

  • Diagnose before recommending
  • Evaluate before installing
  • Engineer before selling

We’re Not a National Franchise — We’re Your Neighbors

Three local branches. Three communities we’re accountable to.

Rockville, MD · Ashburn, VA · Manassas, VA

Every branch is led by an experienced engineer who personally oversees each inspection and project. Our Rockville, MD headquarters houses our material warehouse, ensuring every job across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia is completed with the same high-quality materials and zero delays. We don’t dispatch from a central hub hours away — our crews live and work in the same communities they serve. When a basement in Ashburn floods or a foundation in Manassas cracks, we’re already nearby

1.Why is waterproofing important for my home?
Water intrusion is the leading cause of foundation damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration in DMV homes. Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia have clay-heavy soils that expand when wet and put significant hydrostatic pressure on basement walls and footings. Waterproofing protects your home's structural integrity and long-term value.
2. How long does a typical waterproofing project take?
Most residential basement waterproofing projects in the DMV area take 1 to 3 days to complete. Interior drain systems and sump pump installations are typically finished in a single day. Larger projects involving exterior excavation or foundation repair may take 3 to 5 days. We work with our own crews — no subcontractors — so scheduling is predictable and delays are rare.
3. What sets DMVWaterproofing apart from other companies?
DMV Waterproofing was founded by two civil engineers who have been inspecting foundations and waterproofing systems across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region since 2005. We use only our own crews — no subcontractors, ever. Every inspection is conducted by an experienced engineer, not a commissioned sales rep. We diagnose the problem first, then recommend the solution that actually fits your home. Three local branches in Rockville MD, Ashburn VA, and Manassas VA means we're already in your neighborhood.
