Foundation Crack Repairs & Basement Waterproofing in Ellicott City, MD

A homeowner in Ellicott City, MD, faced a pressing challenge with their foundation’s stability and water intrusion. Distinct stair step cracks appeared along the basement walls, causing concern about the home’s structural integrity. To make matters worse, water began seeping inside, risking further damage and creating the potential for expensive repairs. With these concerns weighing heavily, the homeowner turned to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for help.

The process started with a detailed consultation, during which our Customer Care Specialist coordinated a home inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. During the inspection, the specialist identified two significant issues at play: foundation settling and water intrusion. With this diagnosis in hand, we developed a customized plan to resolve both problems thoroughly and permanently.

To stabilize the foundation, our team installed the Push Pier System. This advanced solution involved driving durable hydraulic steel tube sections deep into solid ground, arresting foundation movement and even helping to close the cracks along the basement walls. Addressing the water issue, we installed the WaterGuard drainage system and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard, hidden just beneath the basement floor, directed any incoming water to the TripleSafe system. The TripleSafe Sump Pump, equipped with triple-layer protection, ensured the basement stayed dry—even during power outages.

To further enhance the home’s durability, we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace system. This solution reduced moisture absorption and minimized the risk of mold. Once the project was completed, the homeowner was left with a stable, dry, and safe environment, bringing renewed confidence and security to their living space.

This tailored, methodical approach addressed every concern with precision, restoring not only the home’s structural strength but also the peace of mind of its owner. NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair delivered a robust and lasting solution, reflecting our ongoing commitment to expert craftsmanship and exceptional customer care.
