Common Winter Basement & Foundation Damage Solutions

Before winter starts, it is common to find a garage stocked with snow shovels and salt. Winter storms can be very harsh, especially to the structure of our homes. Despite how prepared we may think we are, the one thing that may slip a homeowner’s mind is the foundation of your home. The freezing temperatures and excess rainfall can do a number on your foundation and may cause various issues to arise. Before any more winter storms arrive, make sure your home is prepared and that any previous damage is repaired to prevent further problems from worsening.

At NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we offer basement waterproofing and foundation repairs at an affordable cost. Our skillful team understands the importance of repairing and preventing cracks in your home and offers waterproofing solutions such as drainage systems, sump pumps, egress window installations, foundation pier systems, and wall repairs to ensure that your basement stays dry and your foundation remains stable.

Below are a few of the common basement and foundation repair solutions that we offer. 

Basement Damage Solutions

Drainage Systems

When there’s excess water around your home, your basement may be vulnerable to leaking. A drainage system may be your best option, as it offers your home a supplemental perimeter drain. Our interior drainage systems, including WaterGuard® , also fit with any type of foundation and floor slabs. Our team can help you decide exactly which drainage system suits your home needs.

Sump Pump Installations

Flooding can severely damage your property and be costly. Sump pumps are an effective part of the solution, as they offer you flood protection by removing any water that enters your basement. It’s better to protect your home and prevent flooding, than have to pay more to repair damages later.

Whether you have had flood damage in your basement or not, you may consider replacing and upgrading your existing sump pump or adding an additional one. View our sump pump product options or consult with us today to see which one is best for you.

Basement Dehumidifiers

We offer energy-efficient and powerful basement humidifiers that you can rely on to adequately circulate dry air around the area. Dehumidifiers protect your basements from accumulating excess moisture, mold growth, and unpleasant odors. We provide the latest SaniDry™ dehumidifiers & air systems that cover up to 3,500 square feet and come with a warranty upon installation.

Egress Window Wells

Due to certain building codes, finished basement areas with a bedroom require at least one egress window that’s large enough for you to safely exit in case of an emergency. Our team is certified to install RockWell egress window wells and Boman Kemp window wells, which provide you with a durable, safe exit that meets your building code requirements and your family’s needs. These window wells also allow for more natural light and make your space feel much larger and more welcoming than before.

Foundation Repair Solutions

Foundation Pier Systems

Our warrantied foundation pier systems, such as slab piers, push piers, and helical piers, solve most foundation settlement issues. It’s important to note that we utilize various types of piers and create custom system designs to solve various problems.  So we will take the time to help you distinguish which solution is best. If you notice any foundation cracks, tilting chimneys, jamming doors or unlevel floors, then a foundation pier system may be a great solution.

Basement Wall Repair

With unstable cracks, bowing, or buckling walls, a proper foundation wall repair system will restore your wall’s condition so that it’s stable and safe. Our experienced foundation repair contractors can help you spot any weaknesses or damages in your home foundation and will offer you foundation wall repair options that will effectively restore your home and keep it safe.

Crawl Space Support Columns

Crawl space support jacks can help you straighten uneven floors or lift sagging floors over your crawl space or basement. With a SmartJack® crawl space support system, you will have improved support for sagging and undersized beams, which will sufficiently restore areas of instability.
