Foundation Repair for home addition in Burke, VA

Before

After

A homeowner in Burke, VA recently had a new addition built onto their home. Not long after, they began noticing warning signs that something wasn’t right, including uneven floors and windows that were starting to stick. These issues can often point to foundation settlement or a lack of proper structural support beneath the home.

After a full inspection, our technical advisors determined that the new addition needed additional support to help stabilize the structure. NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed a new support beam along with several push piers to help transfer the weight of the addition to more stable soil below. This solution helped restore proper support and protect the home from further movement, keeping the property structurally sound for years to come.

If you notice uneven floors, sticking windows, cracks, or signs of settlement in your Burke, VA home, schedule a free foundation inspection and estimate with NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair.
