- Serving Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Topping, and Surrounding Areas
A damp basement isn’t just uncomfortable. It’s a warning sign.
In Virginia, where rain, humidity, and groundwater are a constant presence, basement waterproofing is one of the smartest investments you can make. Whether you’re in Alexandria, Fredericksburg, or along the coast in Topping, we’ve seen firsthand what water can do to a home’s foundation.
At Foundation Medix, we’re more than a basement waterproofing contractor—we’re your neighbors. We’ve spent over 30 years helping Virginia families stay dry and safe by tackling the root of basement water issues. From minor seepage to full-blown flooding, our team is trained to spot the causes and fix them fast.
Here’s what to look out for:
If you spot any of these issues, don’t wait. Early action can help you avoid costly repairs and prevent damage to your foundation and belongings.
Water in your basement doesn’t just make things musty. It’s often the first sign of a bigger structural issue. And in Virginia, you can’t afford to ignore it.
Our state’s varied soil types and climate conditions mean basements are vulnerable to both surface water and groundwater, especially after heavy rains or snowmelt.
We’ve helped homeowners from Arlington to Spotsylvania protect their basements and foundations with proven waterproofing systems. Whether your home is newly built or a century old, it deserves protection from moisture damage.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to moisture issues, but these are the top three causes we see across Virginia homes:
When warm, humid air meets cool basement walls (especially in the summer), condensation forms. This leads to wet patches, especially in poorly ventilated areas.
After a heavy rain, the soil around your foundation can become oversaturated. If it can’t hold any more water, that moisture pushes against your basement walls, often seeping in through cracks or weak spots.
If your yard slopes toward your house, or your downspouts aren’t draining properly, rainwater may collect around your foundation. This creates hydrostatic pressure, which forces water into your basement through joints, gaps, or porous concrete.
We don’t just patch up surface problems. We dig deeper—literally and figuratively—to find the source and stop it for good. After a full inspection, we’ll recommend the best basement waterproofing solutions for your home.
Here are some of the most effective methods we use:
We’ve spent decades waterproofing basements across Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, and even coastal regions like Topping. Our experience, local knowledge, and no-pressure approach set us apart.
We know how stressful water damage can be. So, we show up on time, clean up after ourselves, and stay in touch throughout the process. You’ll never be left wondering what’s going on
Dealing with moisture and water in our basement was stressful enough, but navigating the search for an honest waterproofing company was equally as stressful.

In a half hour the owner told us more about our basement issues than the previous 7 “experts” from other companies combined! He knows his stuff. He is honest. He is direct. He explained to us the facts, with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He told us our options and gave estimates for each. I could not have asked for anything more from an initial consultation. He earned our trust.
