Foundation repair in Alexandria, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Alexandria, VA reached out to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair after noticing signs of foundation settlement along with water leaking into the basement. Foundation movement and basement leaks can often happen together when shifting soil, hydrostatic pressure, or poor exterior drainage begins putting stress on the home’s foundation walls.
During the inspection, our design specialist identified areas of foundation concern and determined that the basement also needed a reliable waterproofing solution. Left untreated, foundation settlement can lead to worsening wall movement, cracks, uneven floors, and continued water intrusion during heavy rain.
Solution
To help stabilize the foundation walls, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed the PowerBrace System, which is designed to support and reinforce basement foundation walls over time. To address the water intrusion, our team installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system, helping collect and direct water away from the basement before it can damage the space.
We also added CleanSpace to help protect the basement area from moisture and improve the overall condition of the space. On the exterior, our team installed drainage improvements to help move water away from the foundation and reduce pressure around the home.
With the PowerBrace System, WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and exterior drainage in place, the homeowner was happy to have a more stable, protected basement. If you are noticing foundation settlement, basement wall movement, cracks, or basement leaks in Alexandria, VA, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair can provide a free inspection and estimate to help protect your home.
