In Upper Marlboro, MD, a homeowner was facing a frustrating and familiar problem: their floors felt cold, uneven, and soft underfoot. While it may have seemed like a minor comfort issue at first, the true culprit was far more serious—moisture damage and weakening structural supports in the crawl space below. Recognizing the signs, they reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, Maryland’s go-to experts in crawl space and foundation solutions.
Our team responded quickly. After scheduling an inspection with our responsive Customer Care Specialist, a skilled System Design Specialist conducted a thorough evaluation of the crawl space. What we discovered was excessive moisture and sagging floor joists—symptoms of long-term water intrusion and poor air circulation beneath the home.
To address the problem at its root, we installed a full crawl space support and waterproofing system. The first step was stabilizing the structure using our SmartJack® Support System—an adjustable, galvanized steel solution that lifts and secures sagging joists, restoring strength and levelness to the floors above.
Next, we encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace®—a heavy-duty vapor barrier engineered to seal out moisture and humidity. This was paired with CleanSpace® Drainage Matting, which channels any incoming water to a newly installed SuperSump®—our high-performance sump pump system designed to keep the area dry year-round.
The result? A transformed crawl space that’s dry, energy-efficient, and structurally sound. The homeowner now enjoys warm, even floors and peace of mind knowing their home is protected from future moisture damage.
