The customer was keen on converting the below-grade "bonus room" into an official bedroom. To achieve this, our technical advisor conducted a detailed inspection of the property and outlined a strategy for the transformation. The plan required the homeowner to dismantle the deck covering the current window and replace it with an egress window to ensure a safe exit for occupants. Additionally, the customer chose to install a sunhouse cover to maximize natural light in the basement space. The customer was extremely satisfied with the outcome and is now able to appreciate the basement even more.

Recently in Fairfax, VA, we encountered a homeowner who was in the throes of a classic yet frustrating issue - a wet basement. As so many of us know, discovering water where it shouldn’t be in our homes can lead to sleepless nights and stressful days. For them, this situation was not only a matter of discomfort but also concern for the potential damage to their home's integrity and the potential health implications for their family. Understanding the critical nature of their problem, our NV Waterproof installation team, equipped with our dedication to providing a remarkable customer experience, was ready for action. Upon contacting our Customer Care team, the homeowner was promptly visited by a System Design Specialist. After a thorough inspection, it was clear that a proven solution of our WaterGuard basement waterproofing system paired with CleanSpace vapor barrier was the ideal route. This combination of solutions doesn’t just manage the symptoms – it tackles the root cause of the issue. The installation was executed with precision and care. First, the WaterGuard system was strategically placed around the perimeter of the basement to intercept water at its entry point, channeling it away before it ever becomes a problem. Next, the CleanSave vapor barrier was installed along the walls, providing an impenetrable moisture-proof barrier, ensuing a dry and healthier basement environment. Post-installation, the transformation was remarkable. The previously damp and musty basement was now permanently dry, transforming a formerly problematic space into a secure, usable area of their home. The homeowner was relieved and delighted with the peace of mind that comes from knowing their basement water woes were a thing of the past.
Recently, a homeowner from Fairfax, VA reached out to us with concerns about their basement waterproofing. With continuous issues of dampness and water entry, they were in urgent need of a lasting solution. Here's a glimpse into how we at NV Waterproofing turned things around for them, showcasing our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience and reliable solutions. Upon receiving the call, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection to understand the root of the problem. Our System Design Specialist visited the Fairfax home, conducted a thorough investigation, and acknowledged the challenges they faced with water intrusion. The diagnosis was clear: the basement needed a robust waterproofing system. We recommended the installation of IceGuard, SaniDry Sedona, and SuperSump – a trio of systems designed to keep basements dry, air quality improved, and water management efficient. The IceGuard system ensures that water can be expelled from the sump pump even if the pipe freezes in the cold winters of Virginia. Combined with the SaniDry Sedona, which keeps the air dry and filters out dust particles, the environment in the basement becomes healthier and less hospitable to mold. The SuperSump sump pump system then operates as the heart of this operation, pumping out any water that enters, ensuring the basement remains dry year-round. Our expert installation team set to work, integrating these systems seamlessly into the homeowner's basement. We made sure to keep disruption to a minimum and cleaned up meticulously once the work was complete. The outcome? A transformed basement space, free from damp and water issues, with improved air quality and an overall healthier living environment.
When a homeowner in Fairfax, VA, discovered water seeping into the basement of their townhome, they knew immediate action was needed to protect their home and belongings. They reached out to us, the team at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, sparking the beginning of a transformative solution to their damp basement woes. Our customer care team promptly arranged for a System Design Specialist to inspect the property. Upon a thorough examination, we traced the water intrusion back to its source and devised an efficient and effective solution tailored to the homeowner's situation. The recommended plan? To install WaterGuard, IceGuard, CleanSpace, and a SuperSump system to comprehensively address the water seepage and potential future moisture concerns. Our experienced foreman and professional installers got to work swiftly, adapting to the specific challenges presented by the property. First, we installed WaterGuard along the basement's perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage preventing it from reaching the interior space. Next, IceGuard was placed outside to safeguard against frozen discharge lines during cold snaps, ensuring water could always escape away from the foundation. CleanSpace, a durable and moisture-resistant liner, was applied to the walls for added protection and SuperSump, a top-of-the-line sump pump system, was installed to efficiently evacuate collected water from the basement. Throughout the project, our focus was not only on solving the immediate water intrusion issue but also on preventing future problems, completing the work with minimal disruption, and leaving the basement cleaner than when we started. As water problems in basements can manifest in different ways for homeowners, we're proud to say this comprehensive approach worked wonders in Fairfax. By the time we completed the installation, the homeowner was relieved to see their basement dry and fully protected

A townhome in Fairfax was experiencing water seepage from the front and back wall of the basement. The homeowner wasn't sure how they would address this issue. Would they need two separate pumps? Does it need exterior waterproofing? After having the NV professionals take a look, they learned they could handle both walls, with one connected system. The two walls are connected by a feed line PVC pipe that run from front to back to help water reach the one pump on the front wall.
