Basement Waterproofing in Kensington, MD
Basement waterproofing Kensington homeowners actually trust starts with diagnosing the real problem — not just patching symptoms. Kensington homes sit at the intersection of dense Piedmont clay soil and a high water table that affects much of lower Montgomery County and the District. Older brick and concrete block foundations common in neighborhoods like Rock Creek Hills, Kensington Heights, and Garrett Park face constant hydrostatic pressure — especially during DMV’s wet spring and humid summer months. Add Washington’s 40+ inches of annual rainfall, and basement water intrusion becomes one of the most expensive problems homeowners face here.
Our Kensington branch at 5014 Nicholson Ln serves all of Washington DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, Wheaton, Takoma Park, and surrounding areas. We’ve been engineer-founded waterproofing experts in the DMV since 2005 — with in-house crews only, no subcontractors ever.
