In the heart of Leesburg, VA, a historic home was facing a quiet but persistent enemy—basement moisture. Beneath its timeless charm and original craftsmanship, damp walls and pooling water threatened to undermine both the structure and the legacy of the property. The homeowner, deeply committed to preserving the soul of the space, turned to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to bridge the gap between old-world beauty and modern protection.
Our approach blended care with cutting-edge solutions. After a detailed assessment, we installed a full waterproofing system designed to work in harmony with the home's historic foundation. CleanSpace was applied to shield the basement walls with a durable, moisture-blocking barrier. Beneath the surface, WaterGuard captured intruding groundwater, channeling it to the powerful SuperSump system for fast, reliable removal. And to protect the system year-round—even during harsh Leesburg winters—we added IceGuard, ensuring water can escape even when temperatures dip below freezing.
The transformation was profound. What was once a damp, aging basement is now dry, clean, and ready to support modern living—all without compromising the integrity of the home’s history.
At NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we don’t just fix old homes—we help them thrive. In Leesburg and beyond, we’re redefining what it means to protect the past while building for the future.
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 homeowner in Ashburn, VA, faced daily frustration and concern as their once-smooth concrete driveway developed uneven joints, cracks, and sinking slabs. These problems went beyond aesthetics—the uneven surface created serious trip hazards for the family and anyone visiting, making everyday activities like carrying groceries or letting kids play outside risky. The visible neglect also dragged down the home’s curb appeal, prompting the homeowner to seek a lasting, professional solution.
Turning to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, the homeowner found the expertise needed for a permanent fix. Our team devised a comprehensive, two-part strategy to restore the driveway’s safety, durability, and appearance. First, we tackled the sunken slab with the PolyLevel® injection system. By drilling small, dime-sized holes and injecting a high-density polyurethane foam underneath, we were able to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and lift the concrete back to its original position—all with impressive precision. The result was a level surface, free from trip hazards.
To ensure the repair would last, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to all cracks and control joints. This flexible, silicone-based solution guards against water intrusion, shielding the underlying soil from erosion and further settling. Unlike conventional caulk, NexusPro® resists UV rays and extreme weather, maintaining a clean, finished look over time.
The transformation was immediate: the previously hazardous and unsightly driveway became safe, stable, and visually appealing. Sealed joints gave it a polished finish, boosting the overall curb appeal of the home. The Ashburn homeowner was delighted—not only with the quality of the repair, but with the confidence that their revitalized driveway would stand the test of time. This project is a testament to how NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair turns hazards into assets, restoring both beauty and peace of mind.
