Before & After Photos

Foundation cracks are one of those unwelcome surprises that no homeowner wants—but when they show up, they demand attention. That was the case for a family in Alexandria, VA, who noticed visible cracks spreading across their basement walls. These weren’t just cosmetic concerns—they were early warnings of shifting soil and potential structural compromise.

That’s when they turned to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, experts in lasting foundation stabilization. After a detailed inspection, we installed GeoLock® Channel Anchors—a powerful, proven solution designed to halt inward wall movement and reinforce compromised foundations. Anchored deep into stable soil and secured with heavy-duty steel, these anchors work quietly and effectively to restore the wall’s structural integrity.

The transformation speaks for itself. What was once a source of anxiety is now a sign of strength—no more worrying cracks, just a solid, dependable foundation ready for the future.

At NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we don’t just repair—we reinforce peace of mind. Serving Alexandria and beyond, our mission is simple: safe homes, solid solutions, and support that stands the test of time.

A homeowner in Alexandria, VA was plagued by musty smells throughout their home, soon discovering the problem stemmed from the crawl space beneath the house. High humidity and excess moisture had turned this area into a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors, all of which were impacting indoor air quality and creating an unhealthy living environment. Concerned about the long-term effects on both their family and the structural integrity of their home, they searched for a trusted "Crawl Space Repair Contractor near you" and found NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

Our team responded promptly, developing a comprehensive plan for Crawl Space Repair in Alexandria tailored to resolve these issues for good. We began by installing durable drainage matting along the crawl space floor, creating efficient channels to direct any water to a sump pump and prevent pooling. Next, SilverGlo™ insulation panels were fastened to the walls, adding superior thermal protection and helping stop heat loss for better energy efficiency. We then encapsulated the entire crawl space with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a tough, 20-mil thick liner that seals out ground moisture, halts mold growth, and keeps the area clean and usable for storage.

To ensure future protection, our crew also installed a SuperSump® pump system—one of the industry’s most reliable options—to efficiently remove any water that may enter the crawl space down the line. The combined approach provided total moisture control, eliminated the musty smells, and dramatically improved the overall air quality inside the home.

The homeowner was delighted with the results of their Crawl Space Repair in Alexandria. Not only was their crawl space dry and odor-free, but they also enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with knowing a professional crawl space repair contractor near you delivered a lasting, high-quality solution. This project perfectly illustrates how expert encapsulation and moisture management can enhance indoor air quality, protect your home from future damage, and create a healthier environment for your family.

Before tackling this stubborn basement water issue in Washington, DC, the homeowner grappled with groundwater pooling in a low area—visible in the photo's left side. We assessed and addressed by installing our TripeSafe Sump Pump and WaterGuard systems, supplemented with our advanced CleanSpace and IceGuard technologies for a comprehensive solution. As the right side photo shows, the basement transformed remarkably. Once unwelcoming and damp, it's now dry and inviting, providing true peace of mind and a testament to cutting-edge waterproofing done right.

A homeowner in Washington, DC, was facing a serious issue with water flooding their basement during heavy rains. The problem stemmed from water pooling at the walk-down steps leading from the backyard patio, which would eventually seep into the basement and cause significant damage. Frustrated with the recurring issue, the homeowner reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a permanent solution.

Our Design Specialist assessed the situation and crafted a customized waterproofing plan to address the problem. We installed a WaterGuard system to channel water away from the foundation and a TrenchDrain at the base of the walk-down steps to capture and redirect water before it could enter the basement. To further protect the space, we added a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal out moisture and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump to efficiently remove water from the home. For added peace of mind, we included an IceGuard system to prevent water backup in the discharge line during freezing conditions.

The results were outstanding. The homeowner now has a fully waterproofed basement that stays dry even during the heaviest rains. They were thrilled with the transformation and relieved to no longer worry about flooding or water damage.
