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.

The customer voiced their concerns about the issue of water pooling in the crawlspace of their property, a problem which could potentially lead to structural damage and mold growth if left unaddressed. As a solution to this issue, we installed a high-quality SmartSump pump, complete with a liner. The SmartSump pump is designed to efficiently manage and remove excess water, thus preventing any water-related issues.

To complement the sump pump, we also put in place a discharge line which was seamlessly connected to a flowell. This setup is crucial to properly guide the water away from the property, thereby reducing the risk of water damage.

In addition to these measures, we integrated an Iceguard system into the discharge line. The purpose of this system is to prevent floods that can occur due to blockages or freezing within the discharge line, ensuring that the line remains functional even in colder weather conditions.

To wrap up our comprehensive repair and preventative work, we installed an Everlast access well and an Everlast door. These installations offer easy access for future maintenance or inspections, while also providing a secure and durable barrier against external elements.

This thorough approach not only addressed the customer's immediate concern but also provided a long-term solution to protect their property from potential water damage in the future.

The customer contacted us due to a major flooding issue in their basement located in Suitland, MD. The severity of the situation was such that both walls and floors had to be removed, leaving the area in dire need of a comprehensive solution. Our team of technical advisors promptly visited the property to carry out a thorough inspection.

Based on the findings from the inspection, we recommended a full-scale basement waterproofing system as an effective solution to manage the flooding problem in its entirety. This proposed system includes the installation of WaterGuards – a sub-floor drainage system designed to effectively channel water away from the foundation.

In addition to the WaterGuards, we proposed the installation of a TripleSafe sump pump. This particular sump pump is equipped with a battery backup pump, ensuring that the system continues to function and protect the home against water damage even during power outages.

Moreover, we suggested the implementation of a CleanSpace wall system to further safeguard the basement against moisture and mold. This system offers an added layer of protection by sealing off the basement from outside elements.

We also recommended the installation of a WellDuct window well, a solution designed to prevent window well flooding by directing excess water into your perimeter drain.

Finally, to ensure efficient water removal, we proposed setting up exterior discharge lines. These lines will direct the water from the sump pump to another location outside the home. This comprehensive approach ensures all aspects of the flooding issue are addressed, providing the homeowner with a long-term solution to their problem.

Our process started with an initial call to our friendly Customer Care team, who quickly scheduled an in-home inspection.

Recently in Laurel, MD, we at NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair had the opportunity to help a homeowner who was facing moisture and mold issues in their basement. The moisture was so pervasive that there was visible mold growth, mind you, not an ideal living situation for anyone. Upon initial inspection, it was evident that the gap between the foundation and the wall, intended for drainage, was malfunctioning, exacerbating the moisture dilemma. Understanding the urgency, our team presented the homeowner with a comprehensive solution to not only address but eradicate the issue. The plan consisted of installing our state-of-the-art WaterGuard drainage system to efficiently manage wall and floor joint leakage, complemented by our SuperSump and UltraSump sump pump systems to actively evacuate water from beneath the basement. Additionally, understanding the unpredictability of Maryland's climate, our IceGuard system was installed to prevent potential sump pump discharge line freeze-ups during the frigid months.

Recently, in Oxon Hill, MD, a homeowner reached out to us with a quite unsettling concern – the floors of their main level were sagging noticeably. For any homeowner, the realization that your house’s foundational stability could be compromised is troubling. True to our commitment to solving such home issues, we started by scheduling a thorough inspection of their crawl space to understand the root cause. Upon assessment by our System Design Specialist, it was evident that the crawl space was in dire need of attention. The moisture in the area had weakened the support systems, which contributed to the sagging floors above. Not aiming for just a quick fix, but a lasting solution, we proposed a comprehensive repair job involving three key products: SmartJack for robust support, CleanSpace to encapsulate and protect the area from moisture, and SilverGlow to insulate and improve energy efficiency. Our installation was twofold. First, we installed SmartJacks, adjustable steel supports that stabilize and can lift sagging floor joists or beams, bringing them back to their original position and strength. Next, we went on to encapsulate the entire crawl space with CleanSpace, a durable, moisture-barrier liner that keeps the crawl space dry and protected against further moisture issues. Lastly, SilverGlow insulation was added to the walls for enhanced thermal protection, preventing the transfer of heat and making the space, and essentially the whole home, more energy-efficient. The outcome? Not only were we able to restore peace of mind for the homeowner with a restored, sturdy foundation for the floors, but also provided an efficient, cleaner space beneath their home, reducing their risk of future structural issues and increasing energy savings.

At NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we recently encountered a homeowner in Beltsville, MD, facing a concerning issue: their sidewalk in front of their townhouse was noticeably sinking and showing signs of cracking. Understanding the urgency and safety issues a compromised walkway can bring, they reached out to us hoping we could restore stability and peace of mind. After our Customer Care team arranged a visit, one of our System Design Specialists comprehensively examined the sidewalk to pinpoint the root of the problem.

Once the homeowner agreed to our approach, our production team, comprising a capable foreman and skilled installers, arrived on site.

Recently in Gaithersburg, MD, a homeowner reached out to us after noticing water seeping into their basement following the snow melts. Understanding that water issues can quickly escalate and lead to more serious damage, the homeowner was eager for a reliable and lasting solution. This is where our NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair team comes into play. After our initial contact with the homeowner, a System Design Specialist was on-site, inspecting the basement thoroughly. The diagnosis? Inadequate water management systems in place to handle the meltdown effectively. The recommended solution was to install our WaterGuard system for efficient interior drainage, accompanied by the TripleSafe Sump Pump system to reliably evacuate water. To combat the risk of overflows during freezing temperatures, the IceGuard system was introduced, and to top it off, our CleanSpace wall system was applied to protect and encapsulate the area.

Firstly, our WaterGuard drainage system was strategically installed around the basement perimeter to capture wall and floor joint leakages effectively. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was put in place, providing three levels of protection—even in power outages, giving the homeowner peace of mind. The IceGuard system was added to prevent backups caused by frozen discharge lines, ensuring smooth water evacuation regardless of temperatures outside.

At NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we recently encountered a worrying situation for a homeowner in Aquasco, MD. Their relatively new, two-story home started showing distressing signs of structural weakness, evidenced by cracks sprawling throughout the property. Understandably distressed by the potential implications for their home's foundation, the homeowner reached out to us, hoping to uncover the cause — be it foundational issues or merely settlement woes. Upon their call, our dedicated Customer Care team swiftly set the wheels in motion, scheduling an immediate inspection to assess the severity and source of the problem.

Our System Design Specialist visited the home, meticulously inspecting each crack and evaluating the property's structural integrity.
