Before & After Photos

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.

Recently, we tackled a challenging yet rewarding job in Round Hill, VA. A homeowner reached out to us, troubled by bowing walls in their basement. This is a classic sign of foundational issues that can escalate if not timely addressed, risking both property integrity and safety. Understanding the urgency, our Customer Care team promptly arranged for an inspection. Our System Design Specialist visited the home to thoroughly assess the situation. True to our discovery, the basement's structural integrity was compromised, needing immediate attention. Our recommended solution? Installing Carbon Armor technology — a proven approach embodying both strength and flexibility to reinforce and stabilize foundation walls.
