Before & After Photos

Customer was worried about the kitchen floor above the basement because it was bowing. NV solved the problem by installing a new floor joist. 

For homeowners in Reston, VA, maintaining a dry and healthy home often starts from the ground up. In this recent project, a local resident faced a common but serious challenge: significant water intrusion through their basement’s cinderblock walls. The "before" situation was concerning. Porous cinderblock walls were allowing outside moisture to seep directly into the living space. This unchecked water intrusion created a damp environment ripe for damage and raised immediate concerns about mold prevention. Without intervention, these conditions threaten not just the structural integrity of the foundation, but the air quality of the entire home. To resolve this issue permanently, NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair designed a custom solution tailored to the specific needs of the home. We moved beyond simple patch jobs to implement a complete basement waterproofing system that manages water and climate effectively. Our team installed a suite of industry-leading products to ensure the basement stays dry: the WaterGuard System, an internal perimeter drainage system designed to capture water at the wall-floor joint before it reaches the basement floor; the TripleSafe Sump Pump, a powerful pumping system that actively moves collected water out of the home, offering redundant protection to keep the basement dry even during heavy storms; the CleanSpace Wall System, a durable, bright white liner placed over the cinderblock walls to stop water vapor permeation and direct any wall leakage down into the drainage system; and the SaniDry Sedona, a high-efficiency dehumidifier that provides superior humidity control, filtering the air and eliminating the conditions that allow mold to thrive.

The transformation in this Reston home is remarkable. By combining effective water removal with rigorous humidity control, we turned a damp, vulnerable area into a clean, dry, and safe space. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their property is protected by a dependable and thorough solution. This project highlights our commitment to expert craftsmanship—taking a wet, worry-filled basement and converting it into a stable asset for the home.

A homeowner in Oakton, VA, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair after noticing brown streaks on their basement baseboards. These streaks, along with slight carpet damage near the baseboards, pointed to moisture problems within the basement space. Left unaddressed, such issues can escalate into serious foundation problems over time.

To tackle the moisture issue and prevent further damage, our team installed the WaterGuard drainage system. This innovative waterproofing solution is specifically designed to redirect water away from the foundation, protecting the basement from recurring moisture problems. The WaterGuard system is installed discreetly along the perimeter of the basement floor, ensuring effective moisture control without impacting the interior’s aesthetics.

For added protection, we included a CleanSpace liner. This durable liner creates a powerful barrier against moisture, providing additional shielding for the basement. Working together, the WaterGuard drainage system and CleanSpace liner ensure the basement remains dry, clean, and protected from future water intrusion.

The result is a waterproofed basement the homeowner can rely on. Not only is the space protected from further damage, but the homeowner also has the peace of mind that their foundation is secure for the long term. At NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we specialize in providing expert basement waterproofing solutions that protect homes and enhance their longevity.
