A homeowner in Alexandria, VA, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with concerns about the structural integrity of their floors. They had noticed signs that the floors in their home were not properly supported and wanted a professional inspection to determine if new supports were needed.
Our inspector visited the property and conducted a thorough evaluation of the crawl space. It was clear that the existing beams were insufficient to properly support the floors above, which was causing the homeowner’s concerns. Without intervention, the issue could have worsened, leading to further instability and potential damage.
To resolve the problem, we replaced the inadequate beams with steel SmartJacks and supplemental beams. SmartJacks are adjustable steel supports designed to stabilize and lift floors, ensuring long-term structural integrity. These new supports provided the strength and stability needed to properly support the floors above, giving the homeowner peace of mind.
The results were exactly what the homeowner had hoped for. Their floors were now level, stable, and fully supported, and they were thrilled to know their home was safe and secure.
A homeowner in a Washington, DC townhouse was dealing with persistent moisture issues in their crawl space. The damp environment was causing musty odors, increased humidity throughout the home, and concerns about potential mold growth. Recognizing the need for a solution, the homeowner contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help. Our Design Specialist conducted a free inspection of the property to assess the problem and determine the best course of action.
To resolve the moisture issues, we installed a full crawl space encapsulation system. First, we laid down durable drainage matting to allow water to flow properly beneath the encapsulation. Next, we installed SilverGlo insulation panels to improve energy efficiency and reflect heat back into the home. We then sealed the crawl space with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, creating a moisture-proof barrier to protect the home from dampness and mold. Finally, we added a SaniDry Dehumidifier to maintain low humidity levels and ensure the crawl space stays dry year-round.
The transformation was remarkable. The crawl space went from a damp, musty problem area to a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, knowing their home was now healthier, more comfortable, and protected from future moisture issues.
