"My experience with Copper Fox was absolutely terrible. The sales representative, Harold, assured me the project was 2-3 weeks. We started the project in early May. Copper Fox was very gracious and took a two hour lunch break instead of a one hour lunch break everyday so that my son could sleep. I knew that this accommodation would likely make the project take a little longer, but would only affect the loud portion of construction which was framing and some of the screwing during the installation of drywall. Copper Fox did not finish the project until the end of September because they failed to order materials in a timely manner. On top of the project delay the workmanship was extremely shoddy and they failed to communicate with me in a timely manner. Their "project manager" barely came to site and didn't show up for the final inspection I had to handle it myself. I am happy to share my contract and all email correspondence."

"Very, very disappointing experience; Lux replaced the foundation of my 1850 log cabin. The design was bad, the communication was bad, the execution was bad. Throughout the entire process, they were making mistakes. I now need to pay another company to fix the mess they left behind. I would strongly suggest not using this company!"

"Tony Hall was awesome. I know of JES since they started in the area but never had any reason to request a free inspection until I wanted to assess the condition of my crawlspace prior to selling the house. I learned so much about the function of a crawlspace and the current condition of mine. His inspection did not reveal any emergent issues with my 25 year old house but he did take the time to show me about encapsulating my crawlspace which will improve insulation properties and keep the area just about maintenance free. Included is a 25 year warranty which is transferable should I sell the house. I completely recommend JES and their inspector Tony Hall. I will be calling them to inspect and make recommendations to my next home when purchased."

Exterior Waterproofing Experts is a Class A General Contractor in the state of Virginia since 1997. Our service protects your home against wet basements, water leaks, flooding, water seepage, foundation leaking, and wall seepage. We have been doing subcontract grading and drainage work for many years. We have completed many waterproofing contracts for residents of Fairfax County, including: Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, McLean, Great Falls, Potomac, and Vienna, Virginia (VA). We are now offering to work directly for clients, passing the savings on to the homeowners. It is our belief that water problems are best solved from the outside before water gets into your home.

"My basement had mold and evidence of water damage in July/August, and I was referred to Exterior Waterproofing Experts. The majority of the mold was on the side of my house, but the salesperson made a strong pitch about the need to waterproof the front of my home by digging up the garden down to the foundation. My wife was largely convinced, so we went ahead with the $8000 project. Six months later, the insulation behind the waterproofed front of the house is sopping wet. When the salesperson came back to my home to take a look, his explanation was that the water probably came up through the floor. His words were along the lines of "99% of the time the water comes up through the front." At this point, I feel like I have an expensive solution to a problem I didn't really have."

"I highly recommend DES! I arranged a consultation after a home inspection report indicated that there was moisture in our basement walls. I was worried that costly mitigation efforts would be required. A friend who had previously used DES for a basement water problem highly recommend them, telling us that they were an honest company that only does what is necessary to solve a problem. Happily, Mark Fine from DES inspected both our basement and our exterior grounds and reported that there was no indication of cracks in the foundation or water intrusion, and that no work needed to be done. It is so refreshing to have a company that doesn't try to sell expensive services when they are not necessary!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Richmond, basement waterproofing timelines vary by method and home type. Simple interior sealant jobs often finish in 1-2 days, while installing an interior drainage system typically takes 3-7 days. Exterior waterproofing, especially with excavation around older or historic homes, can extend to 7-14 days. Richmond’s clay soil and permit processing may add extra days, so plan accordingly for potential delays.

Helpful?

Combining basement waterproofing with upgrades like foundation repairs, crawl space encapsulation, or basement finishing in Richmond can minimize labor costs and reduce project disruption. Adding drainage improvements, insulation, or a dehumidification system during the same project often leads to better long-term results. Scheduling these upgrades together, especially in spring or fall, helps avoid weather-related delays and maximizes efficiency.

Helpful?

Completing basement waterproofing in Richmond offers immediate benefits like protection from heavy rain, improved indoor air quality, and a more comfortable living space. Over time, you’ll safeguard your foundation, prevent costly water damage, and boost your home’s value. Enhanced energy efficiency and potential insurance advantages also make your property more resilient and attractive in Richmond’s real estate market.

Helpful?

In Richmond, homeowners often encounter extra costs such as repairing foundation cracks revealed during excavation, addressing drainage issues caused by clay soil, or stabilizing older stone or brick foundations. Utility line adjustments and code compliance upgrades may also arise. Restoring landscaping, driveways, or walkways after exterior waterproofing is another frequently overlooked expense unique to many Richmond properties.

Helpful?

Maintaining basement waterproofing in Richmond means checking sump pumps before rainy seasons, cleaning gutters and downspouts every spring and fall, and inspecting exterior drainage after storms. Monitor basement walls for new cracks during freeze-thaw cycles, and keep dehumidifiers and ventilation systems running efficiently during humid summers. Scheduling annual professional inspections ensures your waterproofing system remains effective in Richmond’s climate.
