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.

A homeowner in Temple Hills, MD, contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair with concerns about sagging floors and a persistent odor coming from their crawl space. After a detailed inspection by our experienced Design Specialist, we developed a customized solution to tackle these issues head-on.

To stabilize the sagging floors, we installed a new supplemental beam supported by SmartJack® adjustable steel columns, providing reliable structural support and restoring the home’s integrity. To address the odor and improve the crawl space conditions, we implemented a full crawl space encapsulation system and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity levels. This thorough repair not only resolved the structural concerns but also improved air quality, giving the homeowner a healthier, more comfortable living space in their Temple Hills, MD home.

A homeowner in Cross Junction, VA became concerned about sagging, uneven floors above her crawl space. Looking for a long-term solution, she contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a free crawl space inspection. Uneven or sloping floors can be a warning sign that the support system beneath the home is weakening or settling.

During the inspection, our Design Specialist found that the floors were being supported by temporary 4x4 posts resting on blocks. As the soil beneath the crawl space continued to settle, these supports were unable to provide stable, lasting protection, which contributed to the bouncy and sloping floors above. Our Design Specialist recommended installing SmartJack crawl space supports throughout the area to stabilize the floor joists and provide dependable long-term support.

After the SmartJack system was installed, the floors above the crawl space had improved stability and stronger structural support. The homeowner was happy with the results and felt more confident in the safety and stability of her home. If you are dealing with sagging floors, uneven floors, bouncy floors, or crawl space support problems in Cross Junction, VA, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair offers free inspections and customized floor stabilization solutions.

A homeowner in Front Royal, VA contacted NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair after noticing signs of foundation settlement, including wall movement and cracking along the foundation. Like many homes in Warren County, shifting soil and moisture around the foundation can lead to serious structural issues if left untreated.

To stabilize and protect the home, we installed a CarbonArmor® wall reinforcement system to strengthen the foundation walls and prevent further movement, along with a complete exterior waterproofing system to reduce hydrostatic pressure and keep water away from the foundation. The result is a stable, protected home and peace of mind, with a long-lasting foundation repair solution in Front Royal, VA.
