Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The customer expressed a high degree of concern regarding a horizontal crack that had formed in the basement foundation walls of their home. This issue is understandably alarming, as the structural integrity of the entire house relies on the foundation. It's an issue that can't be ignored or put off, as the potential consequences could be severe.

In response to this, we proposed and implemented a comprehensive solution for reinforcing the foundation. Our team installed a PowerBrace and Powerguard system. The PowerBrace system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and can help to reverse the damage by straightening the wall over time. It's an ideal solution for when there is bowing, tipping, or bulging happening to the basement walls.

The Powerguard system, on the other hand, is specifically designed to protect the PowerBrace system against any form of corrosion. This ensures that the PowerBrace system will remain robust and durable for a long time, providing ongoing support to the foundation.

Homeowner was concerned about the horizontal crack in their basement foundation wall. We installed wall supports to rectify the situation. We used a power brace system in order to make sure that their foundation is stable and supported.

In the peaceful town of Hamilton, VA, located in the heart of Loudoun County, a homeowner faced a serious concern that quietly escalated into a full-blown threat to their home’s stability. It began with a damp basement corner—just a hint of moisture during heavy rains. But over time, those subtle signs grew louder. Cracks began forming along the basement walls. The structure started to shift. And what was once a dependable, quiet space beneath the home became a source of daily worry. Water seeped in during every storm, and the walls began to bow inward, raising fears of long-term damage or even collapse.

Feeling overwhelmed but determined to protect their investment, the homeowner reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair—a trusted expert serving homeowners across Loudoun County. From the very first phone call, our team focused on empathy and urgency. We know these situations are about more than wet walls—they’re about peace of mind.

We quickly dispatched one of our experienced System Design Specialists to perform a full inspection. The findings were clear and concerning: excessive hydrostatic pressure was weakening the basement walls, while poor drainage was allowing water to build up and invade the lower level. This wasn’t just a water issue—it was a structural emergency in the making.

Our team responded with a carefully engineered, permanent solution. We began by reinforcing the foundation walls with PowerBrace, a high-strength steel system that not only stabilized the bowing walls but could even help straighten them over time. To stop the moisture at its source, we lined the basement with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which created a watertight seal while brightening the space. Underneath, we installed WaterGuard, an interior drainage channel that captures groundwater and routes it to a newly installed SuperSump pump system—ensuring any intruding water is quickly expelled. And because Loudoun winters can be unforgiving, we also installed IceGuard to keep the discharge line functioning even when temperatures plummet.

The change was transformative. The once-compromised basement is now dry, reinforced, and protected from future threats. But the real victory wasn’t just in fixing the foundation—it was in restoring the homeowner’s sense of security. They no longer watch the forecast with dread. Instead, they know their home is backed by expert solutions built to last.
