Keeping Pests Out with Crawl Space Fixes in Kensington, MD

Keeping Pests Out with Crawl Space Fixes in Kensington, MD Keeping Pests Out with Crawl Space Fixes in Kensington, MD

When homeowners in Kensington, MD, discovered mice sneaking into their home through the crawl space, they knew it was time to take action. Their outdated crawl space door and a missing block vent were essentially open invitations for pests. These issues not only made the crawl space vulnerable to infestations but also to moisture and energy loss, creating a long list of potential problems.

To address these concerns, our expert team got to work. The first step was cleaning out the crawl space to prepare it for a robust, long-term solution. We installed our CleanSpace® system to create a tough barrier that blocks moisture and prevents pests from entering. For added protection, we applied SilverGlo™ insulation, which not only improves thermal performance but also reinforces moisture control.

We then sealed the crawl space completely with the installation of a sturdy EverLast door and a new block vent. The EverLast door is made from durable, mold-resistant material and provides an airtight seal to keep out pests and keep the crawl space protected. Together, these solutions transformed the crawl space into a safe, dry, and insulated environment.

The benefits? The homeowners now enjoy a pest-free foundation, better energy efficiency, and peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fortified against future issues. This crawl space repair in Kensington, MD, is an excellent example of how our team combines effective products like the CleanSpace® system, SilverGlo™ insulation, and EverLast door to deliver exceptional results that last.

Job Stories From Kensington, MD
Basement Waterproofing and Crack Repair in Kensington. MD

A homeowner in Kensington, MD, recently faced a challenge far too common in aging homes – a basement showing its age, with one wall visibly damp and threatening the comfort of the space. With more than 30 years since the last update, this wasn’t just about enhancing aesthetics; it demanded a durable, long-term solution. The homeowner reached out to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, seeking not only to preserve their beloved basement but to fortify it for the future.

Our process began with a thorough inspection, identifying areas of concern and diagnosing the root cause of the dampness. The solution we crafted addressed the problem holistically. We installed the WaterGuard system, an interior drainage solution to intercept incoming water and keep it from settling on the floor. To prevent moisture from creeping in, we applied CleanSpace, a protective barrier designed to encapsulate the walls and block dampness. Because Kensington winters can be harsh, we included IceGuard to ensure the sump pump discharge line would remain functional, even in freezing conditions. To top it all off, we incorporated the SuperSump system, a powerful sump pump to keep the basement reliably dry through all weather scenarios.

Our skilled production team worked with precision and care, minimizing disruptions to the homeowner while seamlessly integrating these systems into the basement’s structure. The results speak for themselves. The dampness was eliminated, creating a solid foundation for the homeowner’s renovation plans, which include fresh paint, new carpets, improved lighting, and a revitalized sliding door leading to the garden.

Today, this Kensington basement stands as a secure, dry, and welcoming space, ready for years of use and enjoyment. At NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship and solutions built to last.

Crawlspace Encapsulation in Kensington, MD

Recently, we tackled an interesting challenge in Kensington, MD, where homeowners were frustrated with mice sneaking into their house through the crawlspace door. Understanding the nuisance and potential risks unwelcome pests present, we rolled up our sleeves to offer a long-lasting solution. Having first contacted our expert Customer Care team, the owners quickly had an appointment set up with a System Design Specialist from our diligent Sales Team. After thoroughly inspecting the residence, the problem was diagnosed: the old crawlspace was practically rolling out the red carpet for the mice! Our solution was comprehensive: installing a new EverLast door to tightly secure the entrance against pests and a block vent to ensure a tighter seal surrounding the area, thus taking the first critical steps towards securing the home. To complete the fortress against unwelcome guests, we installed CleanSpace, a revolutionary encapsulation material that not only acts as a barrier against moisture and pests but also transforms the crawl space into a neat, usable area. On top of that, SilverGlow insulation helped seal up the area, effectively improving the home's energy efficiency and comfort in one go. Our production team, consisting of a highly skilled foreman and dedicated installers, worked efficiently and meticulously, not only installing the products but also ensuring that the crawlspace was cleaned out thoroughly before completion. Our cleanup process made sure the homeowners were left with nothing to do afterwards but enjoy their newly secured and improved space. This project wasn't just about stopping the mice; it reflected our commitment to providing homeowners with peace of mind through remarkable customer experiences and reliable solutions. The outcome? A secure, clean, and more energy-efficient home free from the worries of uninvited critters.

Waterproofing garage in Kensington, MD

The homeowner expressed concern about water intrusion into the garage during periods of heavy rainfall, owing to the slope of the driveway. They were keen on waterproofing that particular side of the house. We responded by installing a Waterguard along with a Clean Space Wall system. In addition to this, we set up a discharge line integrated with the drain.

The downspout from our front gutter goes into a tube that runs under our front stoop. No rainwater is coming out the end of the tube at the bottom of the front stoop. Instead we are getting rain water squirting out the sides of the stoop and into our garage. We need the tube repaired somehow so that rainwater can once again properly flow from the downspout and then down and out the tube.

A couple of weeks ago we discovered our basement had flooded after two days of heavy rain. We believe it might be a drainage issue and that it came in through the floor. We could like to determine the true cause and find a solution so that it doesn't not happen again. Thanks!
