Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Warrenton, VA, a homeowner was struggling with a common but frustrating issue—a damp, dirty crawl space. The space was unusable for storage, and the excess moisture was starting to affect the air quality throughout the home. Knowing the long-term risks of leaving the problem unaddressed, they reached out to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a solution.

When we arrived, it was clear that moisture and humidity were the main culprits. The crawl space had no proper barrier to keep out dampness, which was creating an environment ripe for mold and mildew. Our team recommended a full crawl space encapsulation to not only solve the immediate issues but also prevent future problems.

We began by installing a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, which completely sealed the crawl space from the ground up. This heavy-duty liner locks out moisture and creates a clean, dry environment. The encapsulation process also helps regulate humidity levels, improving the overall air quality in the home and even boosting energy efficiency by reducing the strain on the HVAC system.

The transformation was remarkable. What was once a damp, neglected area is now a clean, dry, and functional space that the homeowner can confidently use for storage. Beyond the practical benefits, the homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their crawl space is protected for the long term.

This project is a great reminder of how important it is to address crawl space issues early. If you’re dealing with a similar situation, taking action now can save you from bigger problems down the road.

CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation

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 Stafford, Virginia, living in a rambler, noticed their floors were bowing and uneven, raising concerns about the stability of their home. After a thorough inspection by NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we discovered that water was entering the crawl space, causing the wood beams to rot and compromising the home’s foundation. The moisture had also led to mold growth, further exacerbating the problem.

To address these issues, we installed a full CleanSpace system, which included drainage matting to direct water away and SilverGlo insulation to regulate temperature and improve energy efficiency. SilverGlo is a high-performance insulation material that reflects heat back into the crawl space, keeping it warm and dry while reducing energy costs. We also remediated the mold with Mold-X spray, ensuring a healthier environment for the homeowner. To restore the structural integrity of the home, we added new supplemental beams and SmartJacks, which are adjustable steel supports designed to stabilize and level sagging floors.

To further protect the crawl space, we installed an EverLast door, a durable and airtight solution that prevents moisture and pests from entering. Additionally, we blocked the crawl space vents to keep cold air out, ensuring a more stable and energy-efficient home.

Thanks to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair’s comprehensive crawl space repair and foundation stabilization services in Stafford, VA, this homeowner now enjoys a safe, stable, and energy-efficient home. Their floors are level, the crawl space is dry and insulated, and the foundation is secure for years to come.

In the before photo of this home in Woodbridge, VA, you can see a crawl space that was plagued by dampness, inadequate insulation, and accumulated debris. These conditions not only create an environment ripe for mold growth and wood rot but also contribute to poor energy efficiency and potential health risks for the home’s occupants. To fully address these issues, our team at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair began by thoroughly cleaning out the crawl space, removing all debris and preparing the area for a complete transformation.

We then installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, starting with CleanSpace Drainage Matting to improve water flow and prevent standing water. To enhance energy efficiency and protect the home’s structure, we added SilverGlo Wall Insulation, which provides a durable and effective thermal barrier. The result, as shown in the after photo, is a crawl space that is clean, dry, and well-insulated, offering long-term protection against moisture and energy loss.
