When installing a waterproofing system, you want to make sure that it has a sump pump that you can trust. These pumps are the heart of the system because they discharge the collected water away from your home. Our pumps are designed to handle a high volume of water and to last through heavy storms. We even install battery backup pumps in case of a power outage. We want to make sure that homeowners don't have to worry about their basements ever again.

We reinforce bowing walls with these carbon fiber strips that are stronger than steel.
Many homeowners in Germantown don't realize that they have a foundation issue until massive damage has occurred. The early warning signs include settling floors, bowing walls, jamming windows, and cracks in the drywall. It is easy to mistake these problems as being small issues that are unrelated. Unfortunately, if they go ignored, you will have a more serious problem on your hands. We at NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair can help you stabilize your home and restore your foundation's integrity. Our piers will keep your foundation locked in place. We have wall braces and anchors to keep bowing walls from moving. We also have support jacks to keep floors from sagging over crawl spaces. You can count on us to have the answer to your foundation problems.
Crawl spaces have always been a natural magnet for humidity issues. To avoid this, they were constructed with ventilation so that damp air could escape. Science has shown that homes pull air up through them. That means that air is drawn into the crawl space from outside and then sent through the main living space of the home. The building itself will fall victim to structural damage from the humidity and the occupants can develop serious health issues from mold growth.
In order to fully stop crawl space humidity, we seal the walls and floor of the area with our deluxe vapor barrier. We install our quality, energy efficient dehumidifier to eliminate any lingering moisture. The home now has a conditioned space under it that makes it more comfortable and more affordable to heat and cool.
If your basement, foundation, or crawl space in Germantown is having any problems at all, you can count on the experts at NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to give you an estimate to restore your property!
