Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Stafford, Virginia, living in a rambler, noticed their floors were bowing and uneven, raising concerns about the stability of their home. After a thorough inspection by NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we discovered that water was entering the crawl space, causing the wood beams to rot and compromising the home’s foundation. The moisture had also led to mold growth, further exacerbating the problem.

To address these issues, we installed a full CleanSpace system, which included drainage matting to direct water away and SilverGlo insulation to regulate temperature and improve energy efficiency. SilverGlo is a high-performance insulation material that reflects heat back into the crawl space, keeping it warm and dry while reducing energy costs. We also remediated the mold with Mold-X spray, ensuring a healthier environment for the homeowner. To restore the structural integrity of the home, we added new supplemental beams and SmartJacks, which are adjustable steel supports designed to stabilize and level sagging floors.

To further protect the crawl space, we installed an EverLast door, a durable and airtight solution that prevents moisture and pests from entering. Additionally, we blocked the crawl space vents to keep cold air out, ensuring a more stable and energy-efficient home.

Thanks to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair’s comprehensive crawl space repair and foundation stabilization services in Stafford, VA, this homeowner now enjoys a safe, stable, and energy-efficient home. Their floors are level, the crawl space is dry and insulated, and the foundation is secure for years to come.

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.
