Your Falls Church waterproofing and foundation specialists
Falls Church packs a lot of older housing and new infill into a small footprint on the Piedmont uplands. Century-old homes with original foundations sit next to brand-new construction, and both deal with the same clay soils that hold water close to the house.
Falls Church's soils
Falls Church sits on clay-rich Piedmont saprolite weathered from schist and gneiss. These soils drain slowly and stay damp, keeping moisture pressed against foundation walls and seeping into the crawl spaces and cellars of the city's many older homes.
Common crawl space & foundation problems in Falls Church
With housing dating back over a century alongside dense modern infill, Falls Church sees everything from damp stone cellars and vented crawl spaces to drainage conflicts where new construction changed how water flows across a block. Slow-draining clay keeps humidity and seepage in play year-round.
- Damp cellars and crawl spaces in early-1900s homes
