Expert Basement Waterproofing, Foundation & Crawl Space Contractor in Prince Georges County, MD

A homeowner in Temple Hills had lived in her home since she was a child and her parents owned the house. For as long as she could remember, the basement had water issues. Just a couple of years ago, she took ownership of the home from her parents. After seeing that the water issue was not going to resolve itself, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She called NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair so that a professional could address her problem. Since her waterproofing system has been installed, she has not experienced a drop of water. She feels a sense of security and happiness every time her sump pump kicks on. Now that her basement is dry, she can renovate the space, put her home on the market, and pursue her retirement goal of moving to Florida. 

One of our customers had been experiencing a dip in their living room. Before putting down new flooring, she knew her floors needed to be leveled. After getting a couple of different estimates, she chose to go with NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair. After two days of hard work, the crew was able to install a permanent SmartJack system that sits on top of the engineered fill, preventing sinking in the future.

This homeowner wanted to improve their basement stairwell drain. Their previous set up, a trench drain and pump, was getting overwhelmed every summer storm. After a consolation with an NV professional, they decided the proper solution was to install a dual pump system. Their new system is two times as powerful as before.

Homeowner experienced basement flooding. Upon inspection, it was discovered that there were cracks in the home's foundation. To rectify this issue and prevent further problems, Smart Jacks were installed to reinforce the foundation. Additionally, a WaterGuard system was placed around the basement floor, and a new triple pump was set up. A CleanSpace wall Basement system was also installed to help regulate humidity levels, ensuring a clean and dry basement for many years to come.

A homeowner recently engaged our services for an essential home improvement project. We installed a dehumidifier in the basement of their house. This move is designed to maintain a dry environment in the basement, effectively preventing the growth of mold and mildew.

A structural engineer was consulted by the customer regarding the requirement of foundation support for their building. Our technical advisor went to the property and suggested Helical piers to remedy the situation. Helical Piers will ensure long-term stability, and are  installed to provide necessary support for the building.

The customer expressed their worry about water leakage into the basement of their home due to foundation issues. Since their home was built on a slab foundation, we suggested installing the Waterguard system as a solution. Additionally, using a vapor barrier like Clean Space would help keep the basement in good condition. The Waterguard system effectively gathers water from the foundation and channels it towards the sump pump, which then removes the water from the house.

In the midst of a basement remodel, this homeowner was met with a distressing discovery of dampness and mold spores lurking in their basement. Fearing the potential consequences, they sought the expertise of our technical advisor for a thorough inspection. After careful assessment, it was determined that the installation of a Sedona dehumidifier, accompanied by a discharge pump, would be the ideal solution to address the mold and dampness issue. With this innovative solution in place, the homeowner could proceed with their remodel project without any lingering concerns.

The homeowner was troubled by a consistently damp and wet basement. After hearing positive reviews about NV, they decided to invite our technical advisors for a property inspection. The recommended solution was to waterproof the basement. We initiated this process by preparing the home for the installation of our Waterguard system, following which we applied Cleanspace. In addition to waterproofing, the Cleanspace also serves as a vapor barrier, thereby safeguarding the basement from moisture-laden air.

The customer was worried about water seeping into the basement through the foundation every time it rained. They initially suspected that the window well was the source of the problem. Our technical advisors inspected the property and determined that the actual issue was a crack in the foundation beneath the window well. To rectify this, we took down two feet of drywall to gain access and effectively seal the foundation crack.

The customer expressed worry about an excessive amount of soil eroding from the retaining wall adjacent to their driveway. Upon conducting their own examination, the homeowner also observed that the basement steps at the rear were beginning to separate from the main structure. Our technical advisor visited the property for a comprehensive assessment. During this inspection, the advisor identified cracks on the external walls of the foundation. The implemented solution involved fixing these cracks using NexusPro. We also cleaned out the gutters, extended the downspout,  and rerouted the water using an external discharge line. Finally we regraded the existing retaining wall in order to redirect the water away from the foundation. 

The homeowner expressed their worries about water seeping into multiple areas of the basement. Our team of technical advisors promptly visited the property to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement and identify any other potential problem areas in the home that may be contributing to the issue.

After careful evaluation, we recommended an extensive solution. This involved removing the existing drywall and bathroom fixtures to address the root cause of the problem. To ensure long-term protection, we proposed the installation of our highly effective Waterguard system along with the durable Cleanspace liner for the interior walls. Additionally, we suggested the use of a triple safe sump pump equipped with a discharge line leading outside the property.

By implementing these measures, we aimed to provide a comprehensive solution that would effectively address the water seepage issue and protect the property against future damage.
