Our team was recently contacted by a client in Burke, VA; who was experiencing a substantial water leak in their basement. As evidenced in the pre-intervention images, the severity of the leakage necessitated the removal of both carpeting and trim. In response to this issue, our team promptly implemented a comprehensive waterproofing system throughout the entire perimeter of the basement. This robust solution included the strategic installation of a Cleanspace vapor barrier, a Waterguard drainage channel, and a TripleSafe sump pump system, thereby ensuring maximum protection against future water intrusions.

A homeowner in Washington, DC, contacted us, deeply concerned about water infiltrating their finished basement in an eighty-year-old house. They reported significant issues: bubbling painted walls, water accumulation on the floors, and a persistent smell of mold and mildew, emphasizing their desire for a dry and secure basement space.
Our technical advisor promptly visited the property for a comprehensive inspection.
The water damage to the basement was found to be quite severe, prompting us to propose a durable and fully warrantied solution to address their concerns. During the demolition phase, our production team uncovered extensive moisture penetration in the cinderblock walls of the basement. To combat this, we implemented our Waterguard system a trench drain solution designed to redirect any future water seepage away from the basement via the Super Sump pump and out of the property. Additionally, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier to block mold and bacteria, significantly lowering humidity levels in the basement. This system was complemented by the Sanidry Dehumidifier to ensure maximum protection against moisture.
Furthermore, to address water ingress through the basement windows, we upgraded the well drains with an improved drainage system. The customer was thrilled with the transformation, looking forward to renovating their basement once more, now safeguarded against water damage.

Now, she has a healthy and odor free home because of her encapsulated crawlspace.

A customer in Washington, DC who owned a 1916 Townhome was experiencing a jammed front door due to settlement. After having one of our professional consultants out for a visit, he learned that the best solution would be foundation piers. Foundation piers are the only permanent solution for settlement because piers are able to reach the deepest layers of soil, like bedrock. Then, the home rests on the piers which rest on the sturdy bedrock. Since having the piers installed, this homeowner made the necessary changes needed on the front door and has had no issues since!
A customer in Washington, DC had been dealing with water intrusions in their basement. One area they were experiencing water was by their window wells. After having NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair out for an inspection, they narrowed down the intrusion area. They also discovered that just putting in new window wells does not guarantee a dry basement. The only way to make sure the area would never get wet again was to change the wells and also install an interior drainage system. Since their installation, they have had several spots of rain without water in their basement. They cannot believe how much sunlight comes through their brand new window wells!

We sent out one of our top design specialists to assess David's crawl space, which is where the musty smell was originating from. He gave David all of his options to seal up his crawl space, which would, in turn, alleviate all the moisture and mold that was causing the musty smell.
David had our installation team encapsulate his crawl space with our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier which will prevent water from entering the crawl space.
