FORT WASHINGTON
Home Repair & Contractor Services
Water got into the finished walkout basement and the drying crew just left. In Fort Washington we rebuild lower levels with floors that tolerate damp, and repair the hardwood upstairs.
Fort Washington Is Big Houses on the River Bluffs
Fort Washington sits on the bluffs above the Potomac, across the river from Mount Vernon. It is mostly large single-family houses on wooded lots.
Big houses carry big basements, and big basements are where water losses get expensive.
The local concept
Walkout Basements
A walkout basement is a lower level built into a slope with a door out to the yard. Fort Washington is full of them because so many lots fall toward the river and the creeks.
They are finished living space, so when water gets in, it is not a storage room that floods. It is a family room, a bedroom and a bathroom.
The jobs we get from Fort Washington
Finished basements after water

Waterproof plank over a flat, dry slab is the usual choice, since it will not swell if the room takes water again.
