Foundation repair in Upper Marlboro, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Upper Marlboro, Maryland contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair after noticing stair-step cracks along the exterior foundation walls. Stair-step cracking is a common warning sign of foundation settlement and often occurs when the soil beneath the home shifts, settles, or can no longer properly support the weight of the structure.
After a full inspection, our design specialist determined that the home was experiencing foundation settlement and needed a permanent stabilization solution. Without proper repair, the cracks could continue to spread and lead to more serious structural concerns over time.
Solution
NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed 18 push piers to stabilize the foundation and help prevent further settlement. Push piers are driven deep below the home to reach stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock. Once installed, they help transfer the weight of the home away from unstable surface soils and onto a stronger support system below.
With the push pier system in place, the Upper Marlboro, MD home was properly stabilized and better protected from continued foundation movement. The homeowner was happy to have a long-term foundation repair solution and peace of mind knowing their home was supported by a trusted local foundation repair team.
For homeowners noticing stair-step cracks, exterior foundation cracks, uneven floors, sticking doors or windows, or signs of foundation settlement, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair offers free foundation inspections and estimates.
