Gail O. was experiencing water issues in her unfinished basement. In her search for a solution, she called NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair. Mauricio Carvalho went out to give her an idea of ways she could mitigate her water problems permanently.
He proposed the installation of a TripleSafe sump pump, accompanied by a CleanSpace Wall System, and WaterGuard. The CleanSpace wall system is a clean and durable vapor barrier for basement walls that helps to prevent water vapor from permeating into the basement, as well as draining any wall leaks that occur. WaterGuard is a piping system that intercepts water that appears along the perimeter of the basement and reroutes it back to the installed sump pump. All of these solutions work together to keep the basement dry and water free.
With these systems in place, Gail O. will be able to enjoy a dry, clean basement in her forever home for many years. NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair is glad to have been able to finally solve Gail's reoccurring water issues.

In the charming town of Springfield, Virginia, sits a beautiful home that has stood the test of time for 40 years. However, as with any aging property, it began to show signs of wear and tear. The homeowner started noticing growing cracks on the foundation walls, a clear indication of settling over time. Recognizing the potential severity of the issue, they reached out to us for a comprehensive solution. Our technical advisor promptly arrived on the scene to conduct a thorough inspection of the property. Upon examination, it was evident that the home required some specialized care. The solution proposed was twofold: pier installation and crack injection. The piers, once installed, would provide robust support to the walls, effectively halting the progression of the cracks. The crack injection treatment, on the other hand, would fill and seal these existing flaws, restoring the integrity of the foundation. However, our mission to restore this home to its former glory didn't stop there. We also noticed that the basement had the potential for water intrusion. A dry, safe basement is critical to maintaining the overall health of a home. Therefore, we recommended the installation of a Triple Safe sump pump. This state-of-the-art system is designed to keep the basement dry, providing an added layer of protection against water-related issues. With these solutions in place, we've not only strengthened the foundation of this beautiful Springfield home but also ensured its basement remains dry and safe. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their beloved home is secure and protected against both foundational and water intrusion issues.

A customer approached us with worries regarding their home's foundation, which was constructed from poured concrete. Over the past year, they had noticed unsettling horizontal cracks beginning to form along the structure. Understanding the potential risks and severity of foundation issues, we dispatched our technical advisor to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the property.
Upon arrival, our advisor meticulously inspected the foundation, carefully noting the extent and nature of the cracking. It was clear that immediate action was necessary to prevent further damage and ensure the structural integrity of the home. After considering various remediation strategies, the decision was made to implement a solution that would not only address the current damage but also offer long-term stability.
The proposed remedy involved the installation of seven Geo-Lock Anchors. These state-of-the-art anchoring systems are specifically designed for situations like this, providing the necessary support to counteract the forces causing the wall to bow and crack. The Geo-Lock Anchors work by extending deep into the stable soil beyond the affected wall, anchoring the foundation securely. Over time, the tension can be adjusted to gradually straighten the compromised wall, restoring it to its original position.
This approach offered several benefits. Not only would it stabilize the foundation, preventing further deterioration, but it also provided a non-invasive method of correcting the issue without the need for extensive excavation or disruption to the homeowner's daily life. Additionally, the use of Geo-Lock Anchors meant that the solution was both durable and adaptable, capable of adjusting to the home's needs over time.
The customer was relieved to have a clear path forward and appreciated the thoroughness of our investigation and the tailored solution we provided. With the Geo-Lock Anchors in place, they could rest assured knowing their home's foundation was secure and that the horizontal cracks would be addressed in a controlled and effective manner, safeguarding their home for years to come.
A homeowner in Clifton, VA, reached out to us, troubled by water infiltrating their home's lower level.

The customer experienced issues with unsteady, bouncing floors and moisture problems in their home's crawlspace in Chantilly, VA. Following an in-depth evaluation by our Technical Advisor, it was discovered that the existing support system in the crawlspace was inadequate for the floor above. To address this, we installed Smart Jacks to reinforce the floor joists, which not only supports the floors but can also realign floors and walls back to their original positions in certain cases. Additionally, we implemented a Clean Space Encapsulation system to prevent any water vapor from entering the space. We also constructed a new entrance to the crawlspace, ensuring easy access for any necessary future maintenance or inspections. With these improvements, the homeowner can now enjoy a crawlspace that is both dry and structurally sound.
Recently, a homeowner in the charming town of Herndon, VA, encountered an unsettling discovery shortly after settling into their new residence. During a routine inspection, they uncovered large, ominous vertical cracks sprawling across the foundation walls of their home. Heeding the advice of their diligent inspector, the homeowners sought the expertise of a professional to assess and address this alarming issue. This led them to the renowned services of NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.
Upon contacting us, we dispatched our esteemed technical advisor, Brian Bui, to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the property.

His findings confirmed the homeowners' fears: the cracks were not only significant but posed a serious threat to the structural integrity of the home if left unattended. The situation demanded immediate action to prevent any potential exacerbation that could lead to major damage in the future. Understanding the gravity of the situation, our team proposed a robust solution tailored to fortify the home's foundation effectively.
The cornerstone of our approach involved the installation of five push piers. These devices are specifically designed for use in stabilizing heavier structures. They operate by utilizing the weight of the home itself to exert pressure downwards, gently pushing the foundation back into its original, correct position. This innovative technique offers a formidable solution to counteract the unsettling effects of foundation settlement. In addition to addressing the underlying issue of foundation displacement, our specialists turned their attention to the visible cracks marring the foundation walls. With precision and care, they embarked on a meticulous process of cleaning each crack, preparing them for the application of a high-grade polyurethane solution. This specialized sealant was carefully injected into the cracks, filling them completely to form a resilient barrier against water infiltration and further structural compromise. The homeowner watched as our team transformed their initial concern into a comprehensive restoration of their home's foundation integrity. Their satisfaction with the process and the final results was palpable. They expressed immense relief and gratitude, comforted by the knowledge that their home was now supported by a solid, secure foundation.
