Serving Northern Virginia, D.C., and Suburban Maryland
Q&A
Yes — in many cases, cracked concrete can be lifted and leveled if the slab is still structurally sound. For homeowners in Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland, sinking concrete caused by soil settlement is often repaired with polyurethane foam lifting.
After leveling, cracks and small injection holes are sealed with NexusPro®, a waterproof sealant that helps prevent moisture intrusion and future settling — delivering a clean finish and long-lasting results.
While we do not offer crawl space clean out as a standalone service, we ensure your crawl space is properly prepared for any project we undertake. Before beginning an installation for services like waterproofing or foundation repair, our team will remove any debris that could interfere with the work. For projects requiring more extensive clearing or dig outs, we coordinate with trusted subcontractors to handle the process. Our primary focus is to provide a comprehensive and lasting solution for your foundation and waterproofing needs, which begins with a properly prepared space.

You don't have to be an expert to spot the warning signs of a crawl space problem. Keep an eye out for these indicators around your home:
Yes — concrete leveling works extremely well on patios and pool decks, as long as the slabs are still structurally sound.
Concrete lifting and leveling with PolyLevel® is designed to deliver a long-lasting — often permanent — solution when the underlying soil conditions are stable. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel® is a high-density polyurethane foam that expands after injection, filling voids beneath the slab, compacting loose soil, and creating strong, durable support.
Because the material is water-resistant and does not wash out or break down over time, it provides reliable concrete stabilization for years to come. The longevity of concrete leveling ultimately depends on proper drainage and soil stability. When issues like erosion, poor drainage, or soil washout are addressed, lifted concrete slabs can remain level and structurally sound for many years.

The cost of crawl space encapsulation can vary because every home is different. Key factors influencing the price include the total square footage of your crawl space, its current condition, and the specific encapsulation products required to permanently protect your home. For example, a larger crawl space or one with existing moisture damage and debris will require a different approach than a smaller, cleaner space.
Because the final cost depends on these unique factors, we provide a free, no-obligation inspection for homeowners. One of our specialists will evaluate your crawl space to identify any issues and determine the most effective solutions. Afterward, we will provide a detailed estimate tailored specifically to your home’s needs, so you know exactly what to expect for your crawl space encapsulation project.

We suggest servicing your basement waterproofing system at least once a year to identify signs of wear and tear, such as moisture buildup or cracks. Early detection allows you to address these issues before they become more severe and compromise your basement's protection. We recommend an annual service to ensure your sump pump system functions correctly. We suggest servicing the sump pump every six months to ensure its longevity. Additionally, monthly cleanings and quarterly assessments can help keep your sump pump in optimal working condition.
Helical piers provide permanent stabilization for a home's foundation and, in most cases, can lift it back to its original position. Made of steel, these piers are screwed into the soil adjacent to the foundation. They are then connected to the home’s foundation using steel brackets, effectively transferring the weight of the house from unstable ground to the secure piers. Additionally, helical piers come with a 25-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.
Horizontal cracks on your foundation walls indicate that the walls are starting to bow inward due to excessive pressure from the soil outside. This pressure can result from overly-compressed backfilled soil or hydrostatic pressure from heavy rain followed by a freeze. Bowing walls are a serious issue as they can lead to structural failure and, ultimately, home collapse.
The cost of crawlspace encapsulation can vary significantly based on several factors, primarily the size and condition of the crawlspace. For smaller crawlspaces, you can expect to pay between $4,000 to $8,000. Larger homes with more extensive crawlspaces may see costs upwards of $10,000 or more. Additionally, if the crawlspace is in poor condition, further remediation work may be necessary before encapsulation can begin, which can add to the overall expense.

Mudjacking lifts concrete using a heavy cement-based slurry, but it requires larger visible holes, offers less precise control, and the material can wash out over time.
PolyLevel® uses lightweight, waterproof foam for accurate lifting that often lasts decades. It requires only small injection holes (sealed with NexusPro®), cures quickly, and lets you get back to normal with minimal disruption — making it a longer-lasting, more polished concrete leveling solution.

A house may need a sump pump to effectively manage water intrusion in the basement and prevent potential flooding. Sump pumps are crucial as they actively pull water out of the basement, directing it away from the property. This not only helps in preventing basement flooding but also protects the foundational integrity of the home.
