NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair conducted a thorough free inspection at a Lorton, VA home, we identified several critical issues contributing to persistent basement water intrusion. The inspection revealed that the original stone patio and stairwell leading down to the basement door had an undersized drain unable to handle heavy rainfall, resulting in water pooling, overflowing, and seeping directly through the basement entryway. During the assessment, our team also noted signs of water damage and inadequate drainage away from the foundation. To address these problems, our basement waterproofing experts replaced the undersized drain with a significantly larger catch basin designed for increased water flow. We then installed a dedicated discharge line to efficiently direct stormwater away from the home’s foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing future basement flooding. To further safeguard the property, we added the TripleSafe sump pump system—a robust, three-pump, battery-backed solution for exceptional redundancy and reliability, ensuring continuous basement protection even during power outages or severe storms. As a result of these targeted measures, the homeowner now enjoys a consistently dry basement, completely free from water intrusion through the basement door, regardless of rainfall intensity.

We addressed a customer's concern regarding a noisy sump pump during operation. To resolve the issue, we replaced their existing sump pump with a Triple Safe Sump Pump. This upgraded pump not only minimizes noise with its airtight lid but also provides additional protection against basement flooding by utilizing a battery backup system. The customer can now enjoy a quieter and more reliable sump pump solution.

This McLean, VA basement waterproofing project involved water entering the home through the front stoop and traveling down the foundation wall into the basement. In the before photo, you could clearly see signs of water damage along the back wall, showing where moisture had been making its way into the home. Before the repair, the homeowner was dealing with an exterior water intrusion issue that needed to be addressed from the outside to help prevent future basement water damage.

After completing an inspection, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair exposed the foundation wall down to the base of the footer to properly access the problem area. Our team applied a liquid rubberized waterproofing sealant to help create a watertight barrier on the exterior foundation wall. We also installed a drain board to help direct water away from the foundation and reduce pressure against the wall.

With the exterior waterproofing system in place, this McLean homeowner now has long-term protection against water intrusion from the front stoop area. The basement is better protected from future moisture problems, foundation wall leaks, and water damage, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing the issue was repaired at the source.

In McLean, VA, a homeowner faced the challenge of an unlevel pool deck, a common issue that not only disrupted the functionality of their outdoor space but also posed a significant safety risk for family and guests. As shown in the "before" photo, the uneven surface had become a growing concern, making the pool area less enjoyable and potentially hazardous. Recognizing the need for a reliable and lasting solution, the homeowner reached out to our expert team at NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to address the problem.

We approached the project with precision and efficiency, utilizing our advanced PolyLevel® system to stabilize and lift the sunken sections of the pool deck. This innovative method involves injecting high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the concrete, restoring the deck to a level and secure position. To further protect the area and ensure the longevity of the repair, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant. This durable, water-resistant sealant safeguards the joints and concrete from water infiltration, preventing future soil erosion and damage.

The transformation was remarkable. As seen in the "after" photo, the pool deck is now level, secure, and fully restored to its original functionality. The homeowner can once again enjoy their outdoor space with confidence, knowing it is safe, visually appealing, and protected against potential future issues. Thanks to our proven methods and attention to detail, this pool deck is now a durable and worry-free feature of their home.
