The customer was keen on converting the below-grade "bonus room" into an official bedroom. To achieve this, our technical advisor conducted a detailed inspection of the property and outlined a strategy for the transformation. The plan required the homeowner to dismantle the deck covering the current window and replace it with an egress window to ensure a safe exit for occupants. Additionally, the customer chose to install a sunhouse cover to maximize natural light in the basement space. The customer was extremely satisfied with the outcome and is now able to appreciate the basement even more.

We recently had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Fairfax Station, VA, who was facing problems with their crawlspace. The customer noticed issues with dampness, leading them to worry about mold, pests, and even potential damage to the floor above. Understanding the importance of a dry and healthy home, they reached out to us for a solution. Upon receiving the call, we immediately scheduled a home inspection to assess the situation. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the crawlspace and recommended a comprehensive solution: a combination of our CleanSpace liner, SilverGlo wall insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This trio of products was chosen carefully to not just address the existing dampness, but to ensure the crawlspace remained dry, insulated, and healthy in the long term. Our production team then got to work. The CleanSpace liner was installed to create an ultra-durable moisture barrier, ensuring the ground's moisture couldn't seep into the crawlspace. SilverGlo insulation panels were added to the walls to reflect heat back into the crawlspace, dramatically enhancing energy efficiency. Last but not least, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity levels, making it impossible for mold and mildew to grow. Once the job was done, we cleaned up thoroughly, leaving the homeowner with a healthier, more energy-efficient home. The results were immediate; the air quality improved, and the homeowner could now use their crawlspace for storage without worrying about dampness or pests. For us, ensuring that our solutions are not just effective but also lasting and coupled with a remarkable experience, is paramount.
When faced with the task of alleviating the unpleasant smell emanating from a homeowner's crawlspace in Fairfax Station, VA, our team at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair had just the right solutions in hand. Understanding the kind of distress and discomfort a smelly crawlspace can cause, we knew it was critical to not just mask the issue, but to provide a lasting and effective remedy. Once the homeowner reached out, our process kicked into gear seamlessly. The Customer Care team promptly arranged a home inspection where our System Design Specialist took a primary role. Upon visiting the home, a thorough inspection was conducted revealing that the cause of the unwanted odor was a combination of humidity and the absence of efficient insulation or waterproofing method in the crawlspace. To combat these issues and provide a holistic solution, we recommended the installation of CleanSpace and SilverGlow insulation. The CleanSpace liner is meticulously designed to isolate the home environment from the ground, reducing humidity levels, which in turn minimizes the musty smell. SilverGlow insulation on the other hand, insulates the crawlspace walls building an energy-efficient barrier. But our strategy didn’t stop there. Understanding that long-term relief from odors needed more than just barriers and insulation, we introduced the SaniDry Sedona unit into the mix. Its impressive humidification capabilities meant it could maintain the crispiness of the air without making the electricity bills soar. Our meticulous foreman and installers took charge, executing the renovation with care and precision.
In Fairfax Station, VA, a local family found themselves routinely battling water in their basement every time rain decided to pay a visit. Tired of the constant cleanup and worry about potential long-term damage, they reached out to us at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in hopes of finding a reliable and long-lasting solution to their problem. Our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection where one of our System Design Specialists dove into the intricacies of their basement's issues. It wasn't long before we laid out a comprehensive plan that promised not just to fight the symptoms but to address the root cause of their watery woes. The answer to their problem came in the form of three powerful allies: WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and CleanSpace. Here’s a bit about why these were the perfect fit. WaterGuard was installed within the basement’s footing, a clever way to intercept water attempting to enter. Then, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, true to its name, offered triple the protection to ensure the collected water was efficiently pumped out and away from the home. Lastly, CleanSpace liner was tailored to the walls, offering an additional waterproofing barrier plus a clean, bright finish to the basement interior. Completion of the project saw our crew leaving not a trace behind, aside from a now waterproof basement. The grateful homeowner waved goodbye to the threat of rainstorms, welcoming dry floors even amid the heaviest downpours. With confidence restored, they can now truly enjoy their home, rain or shine.

Upon contacting NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, our Customer Care team acted swiftly, ensuring a System Design Specialist was sent out to perform a thorough inspection.

Recently in Fairfax, VA, we encountered a homeowner who was in the throes of a classic yet frustrating issue - a wet basement. As so many of us know, discovering water where it shouldn’t be in our homes can lead to sleepless nights and stressful days. For them, this situation was not only a matter of discomfort but also concern for the potential damage to their home's integrity and the potential health implications for their family. Understanding the critical nature of their problem, our NV Waterproof installation team, equipped with our dedication to providing a remarkable customer experience, was ready for action. Upon contacting our Customer Care team, the homeowner was promptly visited by a System Design Specialist. After a thorough inspection, it was clear that a proven solution of our WaterGuard basement waterproofing system paired with CleanSpace vapor barrier was the ideal route. This combination of solutions doesn’t just manage the symptoms – it tackles the root cause of the issue. The installation was executed with precision and care. First, the WaterGuard system was strategically placed around the perimeter of the basement to intercept water at its entry point, channeling it away before it ever becomes a problem. Next, the CleanSave vapor barrier was installed along the walls, providing an impenetrable moisture-proof barrier, ensuing a dry and healthier basement environment. Post-installation, the transformation was remarkable. The previously damp and musty basement was now permanently dry, transforming a formerly problematic space into a secure, usable area of their home.

Recently, a homeowner from Fairfax, VA reached out to us with concerns about their basement waterproofing. With continuous issues of dampness and water entry, they were in urgent need of a lasting solution. Here's a glimpse into how we at NV Waterproofing turned things around for them, showcasing our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience and reliable solutions. Upon receiving the call, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection to understand the root of the problem. Our System Design Specialist visited the Fairfax home, conducted a thorough investigation, and acknowledged the challenges they faced with water intrusion. The diagnosis was clear: the basement needed a robust waterproofing system. We recommended the installation of IceGuard, SaniDry Sedona, and SuperSump – a trio of systems designed to keep basements dry, air quality improved, and water management efficient. The IceGuard system ensures that water can be expelled from the sump pump even if the pipe freezes in the cold winters of Virginia. Combined with the SaniDry Sedona, which keeps the air dry and filters out dust particles, the environment in the basement becomes healthier and less hospitable to mold. The SuperSump sump pump system then operates as the heart of this operation, pumping out any water that enters, ensuring the basement remains dry year-round. Our expert installation team set to work, integrating these systems seamlessly into the homeowner's basement. We made sure to keep disruption to a minimum and cleaned up meticulously once the work was complete. The outcome? A transformed basement space, free from damp and water issues, with improved air quality and an overall healthier living environment.
When a homeowner in Fairfax, VA, discovered water seeping into the basement of their townhome, they knew immediate action was needed to protect their home and belongings. They reached out to us, the team at NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, sparking the beginning of a transformative solution to their damp basement woes. Our customer care team promptly arranged for a System Design Specialist to inspect the property. Upon a thorough examination, we traced the water intrusion back to its source and devised an efficient and effective solution tailored to the homeowner's situation. The recommended plan? To install WaterGuard, IceGuard, CleanSpace, and a SuperSump system to comprehensively address the water seepage and potential future moisture concerns. Our experienced foreman and professional installers got to work swiftly, adapting to the specific challenges presented by the property. First, we installed WaterGuard along the basement's perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage preventing it from reaching the interior space. Next, IceGuard was placed outside to safeguard against frozen discharge lines during cold snaps, ensuring water could always escape away from the foundation. CleanSpace, a durable and moisture-resistant liner, was applied to the walls for added protection and SuperSump, a top-of-the-line sump pump system, was installed to efficiently evacuate collected water from the basement. Throughout the project, our focus was not only on solving the immediate water intrusion issue but also on preventing future problems, completing the work with minimal disruption, and leaving the basement cleaner than when we started. As water problems in basements can manifest in different ways for homeowners, we're proud to say this comprehensive approach worked wonders in Fairfax.

Does it need exterior waterproofing? After having the NV professionals take a look, they learned they could handle both walls, with one connected system. The two walls are connected by a feed line PVC pipe that run from front to back to help water reach the one pump on the front wall.
