In Springfield, VA, a homeowner was plagued by the persistent issue of basement water intrusion, a common concern that can lead to significant stress and damage if left unchecked. Before our intervention, the basement was a source of constant worry, with visible signs of leakage that threatened the integrity of the home.
Understanding the urgency, our expert team was called in to provide a comprehensive solution. We conducted a thorough assessment and devised a plan to tackle the water intrusion effectively. Our approach involved the installation of several state-of-the-art products, tailored to ensure a dry and secure basement environment.
First, we installed the WaterGuard system, designed to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and direct it away from the foundation. This was complemented by the TripleSafe Sump Pump, a reliable solution offering triple protection with its primary pump, secondary pump, and battery backup, ensuring continuous operation even during power outages. To further enhance moisture control, we applied CleanSpace, a vapor barrier that prevents water vapor from entering the space, reducing humidity and potential mold growth. Lastly, we implemented the IceGuard system to prevent water from backing up in freezing conditions, securing the drainage path even in harsh winters.
The transformation was remarkable. The basement, once a source of anxiety, now stands as a fortified, dry space, reflecting our commitment to exceptional workmanship and customer satisfaction. This project not only resolved the immediate water intrusion problem but also provided the homeowners with peace of mind, knowing their basement is well-protected against future water issues.

NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair has been repairing basements since 1986. In that time we have gained the experience necessary to handle any wet or flooded basement. If the problem is coming from a grading issue in the yard or from hydrostatic pressure behind the foundation walls, we will be able to provide a solution to permanently solve it.
A basement waterproofing system is only as good as its sump pump. These pumps are the key fixture that takes all the collected intruding water and sends it away from the home so it can no longer do any damage. Our sump pumps are tested for high-volume activity and are extremely durable. For added peace of mind, we also install battery backup pumps in case of a power outage.

If you have noticed cracks in your walls, uneven floors, or jamming doors and windows, you may be experiencing a foundation problem. These problems look small at first but if left alone, will develop into something that could compromise the integrity of the whole house. We at NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair are members of the Foundation Supportworks Network. We use industry leading techniques and tools that repair your home's foundation as painlessly as possible. Our crawlspace jacks easily put an end to sagging floors and our wall anchors will keep your bowing walls from collapsing. You can expect the best from our crews.
A common issue for all crawl spaces is moisture. Humidity naturally seeps up from the soil in crawl spaces and then is dispersed throughout the whole house. This causes wood rot, mold, and health issues. Allergies and asthma patients will experience heightened symptoms in a home with a wet crawl space.
Contractors originally thought that ventilation helps this issue. Today we know that the crawl space needs to be sealed. We encapsulate the floors and walls with our vapor barrier and then use dehumidifiers and thermal insulation to create a conditioned space under your house. The cold and damp air from the ground and outside doesn't make it into your home. Now your home is comfortable, healthy, and energy efficient!
If your basement, foundation, or crawl space 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!

Upon their home inspection, the to-be homeowners discovered active dampness in the unfinished section of their basement. Although the mold test returned negative, this was a critical concern for them, and understandably so. They wanted their new home to be safe, dry, and healthy for their family before they even moved in. Damp basements can lead to a multitude of problems if not addressed promptly and correctly. After taking ownership of their home, they reached out to us. Our Customer Care team promptly arranged for an inspection appointment.
