This home was experiencing water intrusion through foundational cracks that was seeping into the basement. The cinderblock walls were also showing signs of bowing. To address these issues, we implemented a Water Guard system in the basement and added Carbon Fiber straps to the walls to prevent further bowing. Additionally, we installed a sump pump that leads to an external discharge line. With these improvements, the homeowner can now proceed with finishing the basement, free from worry about structural problems or water damage.

When a homeowner in Fredericksburg, VA, noticed their floors sagging above the crawlspace, they knew it was time to take action. Fearful of further damage, they reached out to us here at NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, seeking a reliable and lasting solution. Our customer care team sprang into action, promptly scheduling a home inspection to understand the specifics of the issue. Our system design specialist dove into the task, meticulously examining the homeowner's crawlspace. The diagnosis? A combination of humidity issues and weak support under the house was causing the sagging floors, a common yet troublesome problem that needed immediate attention. The recommended solution was straightforward yet effective; installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier to combat the moisture, supplementing with SilverGlo wall insulation to reduce energy costs, and positioning our SmartJack support system to lift and stabilize the failing floor joists. This triad of interventions promised not only to fix the problem but also to prevent future issues. Our production team, armed with experience and expertise, worked diligently to transform the compromised crawlspace into a structurally sound and environmentally controlled space. The CleanSpace liner was meticulously installed to encapsulate the area, ensuring that moisture would be kept at bay. The SilverGlo panels, with their reflective insulation properties, were fitted to the walls, enhancing thermal efficiency. The SmartJack supports, robust and reliable, were strategically placed to raise the floor back to its rightful level and reinforce the structure. The homeowner immediately noticed the difference. The floors were no longer sagging, creating a safer and more stable environment within their home. More so, the worry of escalating energy bills and the potential for mold growth had been alleviated, thanks to the comprehensive solution we provided.
Recently, a homeowner in Woodbridge, VA, reached out to us with a pressing issue ; every time their outside sump pump, which was plugged into an exterior outlet, shut off, their basement became an unwelcome recipient of water. Understanding the stress and potential damage water can cause in a home, we knew an immediate, reliable solution was necessary to alleviate their concerns and protect their home. Upon being contacted, our dedicated Customer Care team promptly scheduled a comprehensive home inspection. One of our skilled System Design Specialists visited the home, where they examined the sump pump's location and the issues it was causing. Realizing that the external setup left the sump pump vulnerable to power interruptions, we recommended a robust, more reliable waterproofing solution tailored specifically to their home's needs. Our solution involved relocating the sump pump system to a more protected area, reducing the risk of it being shut off due to external factors. Moreover, we installed a cutting-edge waterproofing system designed to offer an added layer of protection against water intrusion, ensuring that the basement remains dry all year round. Our expert production team, including a seasoned foreman and skilled installers, carried out the installation with precision and care. They worked diligently, ensuring not only that the job was accomplished efficiently but also that they left the homeowner's property clean and disruption-free upon completion.
