A homeowner in Glenelg, MD was concerned about uneven floors and inadequate support coming from the crawl space below. During the inspection, our team found that the existing crawl space posts were no longer providing the strength needed to properly support the floor system above. Over time, the insufficient support had allowed the floors to sag and become unstable.
NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed durable steel SmartJack® supports to reinforce the weakened floor system and provide dependable, adjustable support beneath the home. We also encapsulated the crawl space with a moisture-resistant vapor barrier and added insulation to help create a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient environment. After the repairs were completed, the floors above felt more stable and properly supported, while the newly encapsulated crawl space provided added protection from moisture, humidity, and future structural damage.
In the heart of Washington, DC, a homeowner turned to us for help when their crawl space was plagued by persistent dampness—a common issue we often encounter in vented, unsealed areas. This damp environment not only posed a constant threat of mold growth and unpleasant odors but also raised concerns about the structural integrity of the home and the potential for escalating energy costs. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the homeowner sought a solution that would provide long-lasting protection and peace of mind.
Our team stepped in with a comprehensive approach to address the problem at its core. We installed our state-of-the-art CleanSpace encapsulation system, a durable and effective barrier designed to seal out moisture and create a clean, dry environment. To further enhance the space’s efficiency and insulation, we added SilverGlo insulation, which reflects heat and helps maintain a consistent temperature, reducing energy consumption. Finally, we completed the transformation with the powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a high-performance system that ensures the crawl space remains dry and free from excess humidity.
The results were transformative. What was once a damp, uninviting, and potentially hazardous crawl space is now a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment. The homeowner no longer has to worry about mold, odors, or structural concerns, and they can enjoy the added benefit of lower energy bills. This comprehensive solution not only resolved the immediate issues but also provided the homeowner with the long-term peace of mind they were seeking.
Our team was recently contacted by a client in Burke, VA; who was experiencing a substantial water leak in their basement. As evidenced in the pre-intervention images, the severity of the leakage necessitated the removal of both carpeting and trim. In response to this issue, our team promptly implemented a comprehensive waterproofing system throughout the entire perimeter of the basement. This robust solution included the strategic installation of a Cleanspace vapor barrier, a Waterguard drainage channel, and a TripleSafe sump pump system, thereby ensuring maximum protection against future water intrusions.
