The client expressed worry over their crawlspace, which was plagued by excessive standing water and humidity. To ensure the crawlspace remains clean and dry, we outfitted it with a new sump pump, supplemented by silver glow and a Cleanspace liner.
In the 'before' photo, the front steps of this Brandy Station home were visibly cracked and uneven, creating potential safety hazards. With our expert foundation repair techniques, we quickly identified and addressed the issue. Using NexusPro, we effectively sealed the cracks, protecting the structure from water intrusion. To restore the uneven steps, our team utilized the PolyLevel system to lift and level the concrete, ensuring a stable and secure surface. As shown in the 'after' photo, we transformed the steps into a safe, durable entryway for the homeowners.
Recently, we tackled a challenging yet rewarding job in Round Hill, VA. A homeowner reached out to us, troubled by bowing walls in their basement. This is a classic sign of foundational issues that can escalate if not timely addressed, risking both property integrity and safety. Understanding the urgency, our Customer Care team promptly arranged for an inspection. Our System Design Specialist visited the home to thoroughly assess the situation. True to our discovery, the basement's structural integrity was compromised, needing immediate attention. Our recommended solution? Installing Carbon Armor technology — a proven approach embodying both strength and flexibility to reinforce and stabilize foundation walls. Despite the homeowner's initial anxiousness about the state of their basements, our team's efficient and straightforward communication of the process and expected outcome reassured them. Our foreman and installers, possessing deep expertise and armed with the right equipment, arrived on scene, prepared to restore safety and peace of mind to the home. The installation of Carbon Armor involved carefully affixing strong, carbon fiber straps to the endangered walls. These straps are designed to halt further movement and provide much-needed stability. After the installation, the transformation was remarkable. Not only were the walls secured, but the homeowner could feel a renewed sense of safety and trust in their home’s foundations. This project in Round Hill stands as a testament to our commitment to providing homeowners with reliable, lasting solutions and a customer experience that's hard to forget. In facing foundational woes, we firmly believe in easing homeowners' worries with professional, empathic assistance and high-quality repairs preserved for years to come.
Before the repair, this Round Hill, MD homeowner was dealing with water intrusion in the basement, creating concerns about moisture damage, musty odors, mold growth, and future basement leaks. After a full inspection, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed a complete basement waterproofing system to help collect, control, and redirect water away from the home.
Our team installed WaterGuard, an interior drainage system designed to capture water along the basement perimeter and direct it to the sump pump. We also installed CleanSpace to help protect the basement walls and guide moisture into the drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was added to reliably pump water out of the basement, while the exterior drainage system helped discharge water away from the foundation.
After the waterproofing system was installed, the basement was cleaner, drier, and better protected from future water intrusion. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their basement has a long-term solution in place.
