Before & After Photos

The home's crawlspace foundation was starting to show signs of settling. To address this, we implemented a smart jack system and added a supplemental beam to provide additional support to the foundation.

In Catlett, VA, a homeowner was dealing with a persistent and potentially damaging issue—water intrusion in the basement. Every time it rained, water would seep into the space, creating damp conditions and raising serious concerns about mold growth, structural damage, and indoor air quality. The before photo clearly shows signs of moisture and the beginnings of what could become long-term basement problems if left untreated.

When the homeowner reached out to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, our expert team promptly scheduled an inspection and developed a customized waterproofing plan to permanently resolve the issue. Our goal was to turn the damp, vulnerable basement into a dry, healthy, and usable part of the home.

To accomplish this, our crew installed a full interior waterproofing system starting with the WaterGuard® drainage system, which discreetly captures water seepage at the base of the walls and under the floor. From there, water is funneled directly into the SuperSump® system, a powerful and reliable sump pump designed to keep basements dry under even the harshest weather conditions. For added protection during winter months, we installed IceGuard®, a discharge line system that prevents water from backing up if the pipes freeze.

In addition, we applied the CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the interior basement walls. This heavy-duty liner acts as a moisture and mold barrier, dramatically improving the overall air quality while giving the basement a clean, finished appearance.

To further protect the entry point of the basement, where surface water was entering near the door, we installed a trench drain. This feature helps capture and redirect rainwater before it has a chance to enter the basement—an essential defense in properties with exterior basement doors or sloped landscapes.

As shown in the after photo, the transformation is striking. The basement is now completely dry, well-protected, and safe for storage or future finishing. Thanks to NV Waterproofing’s professional team and proven waterproofing systems, this Catlett, VA homeowner can enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement is secure for years to come.

In the heart of Leesburg, VA, a historic home was facing a quiet but persistent enemy—basement moisture. Beneath its timeless charm and original craftsmanship, damp walls and pooling water threatened to undermine both the structure and the legacy of the property. The homeowner, deeply committed to preserving the soul of the space, turned to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to bridge the gap between old-world beauty and modern protection.

Our approach blended care with cutting-edge solutions. After a detailed assessment, we installed a full waterproofing system designed to work in harmony with the home's historic foundation. CleanSpace was applied to shield the basement walls with a durable, moisture-blocking barrier. Beneath the surface, WaterGuard captured intruding groundwater, channeling it to the powerful SuperSump system for fast, reliable removal. And to protect the system year-round—even during harsh Leesburg winters—we added IceGuard, ensuring water can escape even when temperatures dip below freezing.

The transformation was profound. What was once a damp, aging basement is now dry, clean, and ready to support modern living—all without compromising the integrity of the home’s history.

At NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, we don’t just fix old homes—we help them thrive. In Leesburg and beyond, we’re redefining what it means to protect the past while building for the future.

CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation

In Ashburn, Virginia, a homeowner was ready to take control of their crawl space—once a damp, uninviting, and energy-draining area beneath the home. They reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in search of a long-term solution that would not only eliminate moisture concerns but also boost their home's overall comfort and efficiency.

Our expert team recommended a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation upgrade featuring SilverGlo™ insulation panels and durable drainage matting—two critical components in creating a healthier, more functional space below the living area.

SilverGlo™ insulation was installed along the crawl space walls to establish a highly effective thermal barrier, reflecting heat back into the space while increasing energy efficiency throughout the home. Its innovative design also resists moisture and mold growth, making it ideal for below-grade environments.

To handle potential ground moisture, we also installed drainage matting across the floor. This rugged layer improves water flow beneath the vapor barrier, helping direct any water toward the drainage system and keeping the crawl space consistently dry and protected.

With this upgrade, the once-problematic crawl space is now dry, insulated, and far easier to access—no more musty odors, fluctuating humidity, or wasted energy. The homeowner can move forward with peace of mind, knowing their investment not only protects their home’s structure but also contributes to a healthier living environment.

In Ashburn and beyond, NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair is proud to bring expert crawl space solutions to homeowners who expect more—comfort, efficiency, and lasting protection.
