CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation
A homeowner in Bristow, VA began to notice a significant discrepancy in the levels of their home's flooring. Disturbed by these observations, they sought the expertise of our technical advisor for a comprehensive inspection. The inspection revealed that the steel jacks, previously installed by a different company, were underperforming and not providing the necessary support to the floors.
To address this issue, we began our foundation repair process by preparing the footing in the crawlspace. This involved removing old debris to make way for the installation of a smart jack. The smart jack is designed to provide superior leveling and support for the home. With the new support system in place, the homeowner can now proceed with their desired renovations with confidence, knowing their home's foundation is secure and stable.
In Ashburn, Virginia, a homeowner was ready to take control of their crawl space—once a damp, uninviting, and energy-draining area beneath the home. They reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in search of a long-term solution that would not only eliminate moisture concerns but also boost their home's overall comfort and efficiency.
Our expert team recommended a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation upgrade featuring SilverGlo™ insulation panels and durable drainage matting—two critical components in creating a healthier, more functional space below the living area.
SilverGlo™ insulation was installed along the crawl space walls to establish a highly effective thermal barrier, reflecting heat back into the space while increasing energy efficiency throughout the home. Its innovative design also resists moisture and mold growth, making it ideal for below-grade environments.
To handle potential ground moisture, we also installed drainage matting across the floor. This rugged layer improves water flow beneath the vapor barrier, helping direct any water toward the drainage system and keeping the crawl space consistently dry and protected.
With this upgrade, the once-problematic crawl space is now dry, insulated, and far easier to access—no more musty odors, fluctuating humidity, or wasted energy. The homeowner can move forward with peace of mind, knowing their investment not only protects their home’s structure but also contributes to a healthier living environment.
In Ashburn and beyond, NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair is proud to bring expert crawl space solutions to homeowners who expect more—comfort, efficiency, and lasting protection.
A backyard pool should be a place for summer fun and relaxation, but for one homeowner in Manassas, VA, the enjoyment was overshadowed by safety concerns when their concrete pool deck began to sink and settle, creating uneven surfaces and significant tripping hazards. In the "before" state, sections of concrete had settled at different rates, resulting in raised edges and uneven joints that posed a threat to barefoot guests, intensified by the risk of falls and injuries. The homeowner recognized additional problems like water pooling in sunken areas, which not only created slippery spots but also sped up the deterioration of both the concrete and the supporting soil, as well as the erosion caused by water seeping through open joints and cracks. These issues compromised the foundation and threatened to drive down property value—a serious concern for future resale. Wanting more than a cosmetic fix, the homeowner turned to our team for a solution that was effective, durable, and minimally disruptive compared to total replacement. Our assessment led us to recommend the PolyLevel® system, a high-strength, lightweight polyurethane foam that is injected through small holes in the affected slabs. As the foam expands, it fills voids beneath the slabs, gently lifting them back to their proper position, all while being waterproof and quick to cure, allowing for immediate use. This process restored a smooth, level surface to the pool deck and eliminated the dangerous ledges. To protect the repair and prevent further damage, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to all joints and cracks. This silicone-based, flexible sealant withstands harsh weather, UV, and seasonal expansion, creating a watertight barrier that keeps moisture from eroding the soil beneath the slabs. The “after” effect was a safe, visually appealing pool deck, free of tripping hazards, with sealed joints protecting the foundation and restoring the homeowner’s peace of mind. By choosing these advanced concrete solutions, the homeowner avoided the expense and upheaval of deck replacement and regained a beautiful, secure backyard oasis that will last for years to come.
In Centreville, VA, a homeowner faced a common yet frustrating problem—an uneven sidewalk where one side had sunk while the other had lifted, creating a dangerous tripping hazard. As seen in the before photo, the uneven surface required immediate attention to restore safety and functionality.
Our team at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair resolved the issue using our advanced PolyLevel system, which effectively stabilized and leveled the concrete slab. To further protect the repair and prevent future problems, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant. This high-quality sealant ensures water stays out, reducing the risk of erosion and extending the lifespan of the repair.
The after photo highlights the dramatic transformation: the sidewalk is now perfectly level, eliminating the tripping hazard and restoring peace of mind for the homeowner. This project is a testament to the effectiveness and reliability of our concrete repair solutions. If you’re dealing with uneven concrete, trust NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to deliver a safe, lasting fix.
