Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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 Alexandria, VA was plagued by musty smells throughout their home, soon discovering the problem stemmed from the crawl space beneath the house. High humidity and excess moisture had turned this area into a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors, all of which were impacting indoor air quality and creating an unhealthy living environment. Concerned about the long-term effects on both their family and the structural integrity of their home, they searched for a trusted "Crawl Space Repair Contractor near you" and found NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Our team responded promptly, developing a comprehensive plan for Crawl Space Repair in Alexandria tailored to resolve these issues for good. We began by installing durable drainage matting along the crawl space floor, creating efficient channels to direct any water to a sump pump and prevent pooling. Next, SilverGlo™ insulation panels were fastened to the walls, adding superior thermal protection and helping stop heat loss for better energy efficiency. We then encapsulated the entire crawl space with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a tough, 20-mil thick liner that seals out ground moisture, halts mold growth, and keeps the area clean and usable for storage.

To ensure future protection, our crew also installed a SuperSump® pump system—one of the industry’s most reliable options—to efficiently remove any water that may enter the crawl space down the line. The combined approach provided total moisture control, eliminated the musty smells, and dramatically improved the overall air quality inside the home.

The homeowner was delighted with the results of their Crawl Space Repair in Alexandria. Not only was their crawl space dry and odor-free, but they also enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with knowing a professional crawl space repair contractor near you delivered a lasting, high-quality solution. This project perfectly illustrates how expert encapsulation and moisture management can enhance indoor air quality, protect your home from future damage, and create a healthier environment for your family.

A homeowner in a Washington, DC townhouse was dealing with persistent moisture issues in their crawl space.

Recognizing the need for a solution, the homeowner contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.
