Foundation Repair in Vienna, VA

A homeowner in Alexandria, VA, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with concerns about the structural integrity of their floors. They had noticed signs that the floors in their home were not properly supported and wanted a professional inspection to determine if new supports were needed.

Our inspector visited the property and conducted a thorough evaluation of the crawl space. It was clear that the existing beams were insufficient to properly support the floors above, which was causing the homeowner’s concerns. Without intervention, the issue could have worsened, leading to further instability and potential damage.

To resolve the problem, we replaced the inadequate beams with steel SmartJacks and supplemental beams. SmartJacks are adjustable steel supports designed to stabilize and lift floors, ensuring long-term structural integrity. These new supports provided the strength and stability needed to properly support the floors above, giving the homeowner peace of mind.

The results were exactly what the homeowner had hoped for. Their floors were now level, stable, and fully supported, and they were thrilled to know their home was safe and secure.

A homeowner in Oxon Hill, MD, contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair after noticing sloping and bouncy floors inside their home. Over time, inadequate support in the crawl space had allowed the floor system above to weaken and move, making the floors feel uneven and unstable when walked on.

During our crawl space inspection, our team determined that the affected area needed additional structural support. We installed a supplemental support beam along with SmartJack® crawl space supports to reinforce the existing floor joists and provide dependable support beneath the home.

Once the installation was complete, the floor system felt stronger, more stable, and significantly more level. The homeowner no longer had to worry about noticeable sloping or bouncing floors and could feel confident that the structure of the home was properly supported. This crawl space repair in Oxon Hill, MD, helped restore both comfort and peace of mind.
