Preferred Klickitat County, WA Home Improvement Contractor

A homeowner called after noticing musty odors in their home. Our crews went out to the home in Lyle, Washington to fix the problem. The musty odors were originating from the crawl space. 50% of the air in a home is from the basement or crawl space so the occupants of the home were breathing in the wet, musty air from their crawl space. Our team first cleared out all the debris in the crawl space. Then they installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on the floor and walls of the crawl space. CleanSpace prevents any moisture and water vapor from coming into the crawl space through the floor or walls. This won't let any new mold growth start in the crawl space. It also keeps out pests and lowers energy costs by keeping the floors warmer. Our crews also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in the crawl space. The SaniDry Sedona eliminates damp, musty odors in the crawl space by drying and filtering the air. It's the world's most powerful dehumidifier for its size and the most efficient. Now this family can enjoy their home and the air they're breathing for years to come. 

We received a call from a homeowner who had frustrations and complaints of a wet basement. Our crews went out to the home to help. They installed WaterGuard piping system along the perimeter of the basement to intercept water coming into the basement and drains it unseen and safely away to the sump pump. They also installed an UltraSump sump pump in the basement. The UltraSump has a battery operated backup pump in case of power outages, primary pump failure, circuit breakers tripping or the pump becoming unplugged. Now This homeowner can enjoy his dry basement for years to come.

This homeowner was interested in our company's solutions for waterproofing basements before finishing her basement. After inspection, the design specialist suggested installing ThermalDry wall, our patented WaterGuard system, and a SuperSump pump. 

The install team installed ThermalDry wall that goes on the basement walls and drains water coming in from the concrete walls to our patented Waterguard perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard comes with a 25-year warranty when installed by John's Waterproofing and channels incoming water to the SuperSump pump which works quietly and efficiently to pump water out and away from the basement.

The homeowner is happy with her new waterproofing system, and looks forward to eventually finishing her basement, a service that John's Waterproofing provides.

This basement in Centerville, Washington had water intrusion that was causing mold growth on the bottom half of the drywall. This was a major concern for the homeowner, so he called John's Waterproofing immediately. Our amazing inspector, Kevin gave the homeowner a patented solution to ensure that there would no longer be water intrusion. He suggested our Brightwall paneling system, a Waterguard perimeter drain, and Everlast Wall Restoration. 

The homeowner happily agreed and Luke and his team set out to ensure the health of Eugene's basement. They started by installing Brightwall paneling against the concrete walls which channels wall seepage down into the Waterguard perimeter drain. Our patented Waterguard perimeter drain collects the wall seepage and directs the water into the sump pump. In this case, a Triple Safe sump pump. For the lower section of the drywall that had mold, our team removed that section of drywall and easily replaced it with our Everlast Wall Restoration panels that waterproof and prevent mold reoccurance.

Eugene is happy that he can now use his basement space without fear of water intrusion causing health hazards.

The homeowners had a water issue in their crawlspace about a year ago and they had another company come out. They offered a great price, and the homeowners were told their home wouldn't need anything fancy to keep the water out. With the price right and a convincing salesperson, they went for it. After the rainy season they wanted to check on how it held up to the weather, and they discovered it didn't. The insulation was showing the early signs of water damage, there was mud on the cheap plastic vapor barrier, and since the barrier hadn't been taped into place it was coming up at the edges where more water was evident. 

To fix the issues here we had to remove the debris and clean the space out thoroughly. We installed a SmartSump sump pump, specially made to work in crawlspaces. This will direct all of the water out and away from the home's foundation. We then laid out a 6 Mil Black Plastic which was overlapped a minimum of 18 inches and fastened up the foundation walls. This would keep the water out and this crawlspace clean. Our crew then made sure that all of the unaffected insulation was in place.

This home is located at the bottom of a large hill that provides great privacy. The home had not dealt with many water issues, so they had not given any thought to their crawlspace. However after a bad rainstorm, they noticed a trail of mud had crawled down from the hillside after a tree had fallen. This unusual event had pushed a lot of mud around that that loose mud had found a way to the homes foundation, in particular, their crawlspace entrance. Before being able to assess the damage, they let the mud dry out then they began to dig their crawlspace entrance free until they could get underneath. Once under the home they noticed that the crawlspace only had about one to two feet of clearance in most spaces since it had been filled with so much mud. In need of help and a long term solution, they called John's Waterproofing. 

To start this job our crew dug down the crawlspace to meet local crawlspace guidelines. Once it was easy to maneuver, they added in a SmartSump that would pump the water out and away from the homes foundation. We then covered the space, isolating each pier, and securing along the walls with our Cleanspace vapor barrier. To ensure the space wouldn't be bombarded with mud should any further mishaps occur, we added in new vent covers and a Turtl crawlspace entrance. 

This home had their basement waterproofed and finished by another company a few years prior. However, as the years progressed they noticed water intrusion around their basement windows. The water was seeping through and pooling on the exterior sides. They wanted to make sure the water was able to safely get away from their home so it wouldn't enter their finished basement and cause further issues. For help, they called John's Waterproofing.

We thoroughly looked over the basement, and were able to confirm that the water issues were solely around the windows. The rest of the basements waterproofing system was in working order. So we removed the old windows, and the old window wells. We upgraded their window wells and their windows so that they could have proper drainage on the exterior to protect the home. We then sealed up around the window and they have been able to enjoy their finished basement thoroughly now, no more water intrusions!

This homes basement was primarily used for storage space and had a good amount of cardboard boxes that were stacked up. When moving some boxes around they discovered some signs of mold growth on some of the cardboard. They wanted to protect their basement and the items they kept down there, so they needed a solution that would waterproof their basement thoroughly. 

For this project, our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter and installed our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect all the other and divert it to the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump we installed that will take the water out and away from the homes foundation. To keep water from seeping through the walls into the basement we installed our BrightWall Basement Wall Coverings which is a durable, washable, and non-organic paneling. This will make it so that mold growth and rot cannot ruin the system, and will keep humidity and water vapor from passing into the basement. We Also installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to ensure that the humidity levels were kept at the ideal levels. 

The homeowners were excited to get to put their storage back and know it would be protected from water. 

This home was experiencing leaking in the crawlspace. The homeowners noticed a significant amount of the crawlspace walls were damp to the touch and they had multiple places where the dirt was mud from the moisture dripping down the foundation walls onto the floors. To solve their waterproofing needs, they called John's Waterproofing. 

To begin the crew cleared out any debris in the crawlspace. They then installed a SmartSump pump to take the water a safe distance away from the homes foundation. The walls in the crawlspace had SilverGlo waterproof insulation installed and then the dirt floor and remained of the crawlspace was sealed up with out 20 Mil woven vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This would isolate all of the wooden aspects of the home from any water damage and also creates a bright and easy to monitor crawlspace so we can inspect it and keep it in tip top shape. The homeowners were very pleased with the new crawlspace encapsulation and were glad they wouldn't need to worry about water damage. 

This old building had been recently purchased as-is. The old shop was going to be updated and turned into a new store, but it needed some renovations and waterproofing in the basement before much else could happen. To get the waterproofing done right, the new owners turned to John's Waterproofing for a solution. 

To waterproof the basement, we began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter and installing our WaterGaurd drainage system. This connects to the new SuperSump pump that is installed to take any water out and away from the foundation of the home. We then installed ThermalDry wall panels to divert any water and moisture on the walls down to the new WaterGaurd system. The basement was now ready to be passed along to the new owners, it will stay dry and healthy! 

This home had a 6 Mil vapor barrier and while the homeowners had hoped this would be enough for their home, they were still facing water issues. The water was getting on top of the barrier and caused mud to cake on. To try and tackle their water issue, they called in another company, us, John's Waterproofing. 

To upgrade their system we began by removing the muddy vapor barrier. We then installed a three-inch perforated pipe system that would collect the groundwater and take it to a newly installed SmartSump pump and then out and away from the foundation of the home. This would be able to keep the water moving so that it would have the chance to pool on top of the vapor barrier. We then reinstalled a 6 Mil vapor barrier, and come out to ensure the barrier is still intact and functioning at our annual maintenance visits. 

The crawlspace of This home has become a muddy mess when the heavy rains hit. For years they had opted to go for the 6 Mil vapor barrier route. However, due to the high water levels their home experienced, this would result in caked-on mud which needed to be replaced every few years. after a while, the homeowners decided to search for a solution that would last, so they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To solve their waterproofing needs, our installation crews began by removing the old vapor barrier. We then installed a perforated pipe system to collect the groundwater and divert it to a SmartSump pump. From here the water is all diverted a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. Our crawlspace was then encased in our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is tearing and rip-resistant, with a 25-year warranty to back it up. this barrier is secured under each wooden post and anchored along the walls to keep it in one spot. This home is now dry and healthy! 

This home's unfinished basement had water moisture coming through the foundation walls. In some spots where the water was more prominent mineral build-up was evident. To address the water problem, the homeowners called John's Waterproofing. 

 To waterproof the basement, we began by digging a trench along with the interior parameter and installing a WaterGaurd drainage system, this directs all water to the newly installed SuperSump pump which then moves the water a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. The walls were then covered with our BrightWall panel system which is a waterproof material that will direct all water down the walls to the drainage system. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep this basement dry and healthy. 

The crawlspace of this home had water seeping up from the dirt floor in the lower portions. This created some slippery and muddy places under the home and was concerned about the possibility of mold spores taking hold. To get waterproofing help, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by removing debris from the crawlspace, the crew then evened out the dirt floor to minimize divots and high places under the home. With a more even terrain, they installed a SmartSump pump to collect groundwater and divert it a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. The crawlspace was then covered in a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help keep water from damaging the home. 

When high energy bills are present, we like homeowners to evaluate the foundation of the home. Many crawlspaces are not insulated properly. This home had fiberglass insulation strapped to the underside of the home, leaving it open to water weight, creating an ideal place for mold spores to take hold. The water weight had also begun to pull down the insulation, causing a large majority of it to fall to the dirt floor or just hang, leaving the above home colder than it should be. 

To get this home insulated properly, we began with a clean-out. We removed all of the old insulation and cleaned out any debris from under the home. Our installers then installed a SmartSump pump to divert water out and away from the home. The dirt floor was then covered in our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation and the walls were covered with SilverGlo insulation. The entire space was then encased with our 20 Mil CleanSpace vapor barrier. This insulation system was built for crawlspaces so the home can stay dry and healthy, and save the homeowners on their energy bills!

Fiberglass insulation is not made to be exposed to water. In a crawlspace, water issues are very common. This can be seen in pooling water, through condensation, or in high levels of humidity. However, no matter how it presents, this water likes to penetrate fiberglass insulation, where it can find an ideal place to grow mold spores. This added weight also pulls the fiberglass insulation to shreds until it just hangs in pieces, leaving the home barely insulated. When these homeowners noticed that their energy bills were going up, they checked under their home, most of their insulation was now resting on the dirt floor of their crawlspace. 

To solve this issue, our crew began by removing the old insulation and clearing out the debris from under the home. We then laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil thick material is inserted under each wooden post to form a water tight seal, and it is anchored into the walls so ensure water doesn't make its way into the crawlspace from the ground. We then secured SilverGlo insulation panels along the foundation walls, and air sealed the space. Since this area did have a high level of humidity we also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space would no longer be a space where mold spores could grow. This home is now dry and healthy. 

These homeowners went to check under their home while doing some Spring cleaning. While under the home they realized that the old vapor barrier was caked in dirt. The homeowners looked into getting a new vapor barrier replacement when they learned that dirt on top of the barrier is a sign that water is getting on top of the barrier and can damage the home's foundation. For a long-term solution, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

After assessing this home our design specialist came up with a solution to this water issue. Initially, we removed the old vapor barrier and cleaned the debris out from under the home. We then installed a SmartSump pump with a three-inch perforated pipe system to collect groundwater. All water is collected into the drainage system, runs along to the sump pump, and then diverts out and away from the home to a new LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. This home will now be protected against water intrusion. 

This homeowner had a small crawlspace but big problems with it. Several inches of water would accumulate and breach the old moisture barrier every time it rained. He couldn't figure out why so he called on John's Waterproofing to help him out. A System Designer was scheduled to go out and figure out what the problem was. 

After arriving, the designer saw one problem right away. The homeowner's downspouts terminated only inches from the foundation so the water was saturating the ground around the foundation. As he walked around the home, he discovered a small pond beyond the property and by the elevation of the pond, it was obvious that the water tables in the area were very high. The only fix for this home was to extend the rain drains far from the house and install a drain system inside the crawlspace to gather the water and discharge it to the rain drain system. Fortunately for this homeowner, there was good sloping downhill toward the pond so a sump pump would not be necessary. 

The Installation Crew came to do the repairs. They started by removing the old barrier from the crawlspace and all other debris. A perforated pipe in a silt sock was installed around the perimeter of the crawlspace and it terminated at a SmartDrain. From there it was attached to the downspout drain system to flow downhill to a LawnScape outlet. A new 6mil plastic vapor barrier was laid out and overlapped well and run up and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seepage would be directed to the drain system, leaving this crawlspace dry and healthy. 

This home was getting a remodel, and the new homeowners were excited to embark on this project, but before they could do much work, they needed to bring the home up to code so they could get proper permits to do the work they want to do. 

To help the home get up to code, our crews went out and had to fix up the crawlspace. This space had an average of about a foot of headspace, to bring the home up to code we did a full dig out, an average of roughly two feet throughout. With all of the dirty removed we installed a drainage system to collect groundwater and divert it to a TripleSafe sump pump to take all of the water safely away from the foundation of the home. The space was then covered in a 6 mil vapor barrier to help protect the home from water, keeping it dry and healthy, and now up to code! 

This unfinished basement was suffering from high humidity in the basement. This was causing water mold to appear on parts of the walls as well as mold showing up on some of the stored items in this space. The homeowners wanted to find a solution to protect their home, and they reached out to John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews arrived and dug a trench along with the interior parameter and installed a WaterGaurd drainage system. The basement walls were then covered in our BrightWall panels. These would allow all condensation and moisture from the walls to divert down to the new drainage system. Water then goes along the WaterGaurd to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump pump and then pushed out and away from the home's foundation. As a final piece, this home had a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed to ensure the home would be at a safe humidity level so mold couldn't take hold. 

The homeowner wanted to finish her basement, so she called on John's Waterproofing to solve her moisture problems and make sure she didn't have to worry about her basement after investing in remodeling. A System Designer was sent out a few weeks later and examined the situation and walked her through the solution. 

WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without the worry of clogging pipes from soils under the floor. Our crew installed it around the perimeter terminating it at a newly installed SuperSump Plus. It has a primary pump with a battery backup to assure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. ThermalDry Wall is a wall system that makes the basement remodel ready and takes care of any water vapor intrusion from the walls. The final touch was a SaniDey XP to keep the air dry and clean. Now this homeowner can finish and enjoy a comfortable space without the worry of water intrusion and know that the air will be clean and dry.

As the warm summer months arrived, the homeowners notice an odd musty smell taking over their home. To try to stop this smell the family did a deep clean of their home, when that didn't clear out the smell, they called in the experts at John's Waterproofing. One of our design specialists arrived and found mold spores harboring inside the old and water-heavy fiberglass insulation that was in their crawlspace. To solve this issue, the homeowners had us remove the old fiberglass and they called a mold expert to properly eradicate the mold problem that was present. 

To ensure that mold didn't appear again, and to re-insulate the crawlspace of the home, we then came back to encapsulate the space. This started with us installing insulation made for a crawlspace; TerraBlock on the dirt floor, and SilverGlo along the foundation walls. The space was then sealed up with our 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed up to create a water-tight seal. As a final piece, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space was no longer conducive for mold to grow, keeping this home dry and healthy.  

This homeowner knew that the crawlspace had not been dealt with for many years and was certain that it needed to be inspected, so they called John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. 

When the Design Specialist arrived, he got to work measuring the footprint of the crawlspace all the while checking the downspouts and foundation for any issues. Then he donned his protective gear and dropped into the crawlspace to do a thorough inspection. What he found was the fiberglass insulation was falling off the floor above and the vapor barrier was clear plastic and therefore not to code requirements. There was also a lot of construction debris and evidence of repeated water intrusion during heavy rains. He showed the photos to the homeowner and explained what John's Waterproofing could do to fix the problems including the value of encapsulation. The homeowner was impressed and chose to do the encapsulation. 

A month later, one of our highly trained installation crews were dispatched to the home. To begin our crew removed the damaged 6 mil vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation and debris and placed a sump pump and fans in the crawlspace to dry it sufficiently to do the work. A couple of weeks later, the space was dry enough to do the installation. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay healthy and comfortable.

This customer had a small but very wet crawlspace. He had received a few bids from other waterproofing businesses, but he was very impressed with our reviews and even more impressed with the System Designer that came out to meet with him who was professional and patiently answered all of his questions. For these reasons he decided to go with John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew arrived at the home and cleared the crawlspace of all of the debris, old plastic barrier and fiberglass insulation. A perimeter drainage system consisting of a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock was installed and graded to the low spot of the crawlspace. Here we installed a new SmartSump pump to take the water out of the crawlspace and discharge it out and, well away from the homes structure. Once completed, a 6mil black plastic vapor barrier was laid and overlapped a minimum of 18" and run up the foundation walls and secured just below the rim joist. This ensures that any water that comes in at the footing or wall can't breach the barrier and is driven into the drain system.

A customer called because of a long crack that had developed on the foundation wall of his basement and water was seeping in. He had tried to fix it himself but his efforts failed. More water was seeping in and he realized he needed professional help so he called up John's Waterproofing. 

A System Designer was scheduled and went to help the homeowner with a solution to his woes. He arrived, walked around the exterior and found problematic downspouts as well as the crack from both the exterior and interior. He also noted the moisture damage around the perimeter and took photos and measurements. He explained our award-winning WaterGuard system and sump pumps to the customer and what we could do to address the downspouts. 

When the installation crew arrived they got to work installing the WaterGuard patented drain system around the perimeter of the interior. They connected this to a SuperSump system that includes a primary pump with a battery backup in a special container featuring an airtight lid and alarm that would alert the customer to any failure. The downspouts were addressed by extending the discharge line underground to maintain the look of the landscaping. This design also avoids a tripping hazard, discharging well away from the basement with a LawnScape outlet and a subtle design with a removable lid for cleaning out debris. Problems solved!

These homeowners had their crawlspace recently waterproofed. They were happy with how this kept their crawlspace dry, however they had opted out of a new crawlspace entryway. Their entrance was a plywood board that was still working at the time. When we revisited the home the following year for their service, our trained technicians noticed chewing marks along this wood. We brought this issue to the homeowners attention and relayed that something was wanting to live in their encapsulated space. If they left the entryway as was, this could cause their crawlspace to become a boarding house for local critters. We left some information with them about our Turtl entryway so they could mull over this option or buying a new piece of wood. A few days later the homeowners called us up to get a Turtl installed. While wood would have been the upfront, cheaper option, they knew this would only be temporary and not protect their home in the long term. We had the technician back out a couple days later to install a new Turtl entrance. 

When selling a home, there are certain expectations to be met. Some code requirements are that there are no water issues in the basement or crawlspace, that the roof doesn't leak, and that the plumbing and electrical are in good order. John's is often contacted by buyers, sellers and brokers to address problems with properties found by the building inspectors. This home needed a new sump pump and a new vapor barrier to bring it up to industry standards. This owner, like so many we help, wanted the work done ASAP. Fortunately, we had a job end early so we were able to accommodate the owner and get the job done in one day! The crawlspace was cleaned out and a new vapor barrier was laid over the top of a newly installed perforated drain system that was installed around the perimeter of the crawlspace. This took the water to a SuperSump pump and properly discharged away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. The space comes with a 10 year transferrable warranty.

This new house was getting near completion, the walls were up, and just final touches were being added. While the crawlspace had a generic 6 Mil vapor barrier installed it couldn't keep the water at bay, causing the home to flood when a big rainstorm hit. The homeowners wanted to know why this was happening and wanting to protect their home, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

To begin our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace and protects the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to ensure this crawlspace and, therefore the home, stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home properly insulated. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay comfortable while reducing their utility bills.

Flooding under the home is an issue, this homeowner noticed high water in the crawlspace when heavy rains would come through. The homeowners reached out to John's Waterproofing for some help. When our design specialist arrived, he did a thorough inspection, finding that the home's three downspouts were dumping the collected water right by the crawlspace, adding unneeded water pressure, and these spots were where the majority of the water was being pushed into the space. To address this homes water problem, these would need to be addressed!

Our installation crews began by extending the downspouts into the ground, where they met up to a drainage system we installed to safely divert the water out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then added in a SmartSump pump in the crawlspace to pump any groundwater safely away from the home. We then used CleanSpace, a 20 Mil vapor barrier to isolate each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed up. This home will now be dry.

Proper yard drainage can make a big difference for a home. Especially if it's on a sloping lot. This was a newly purchased property and water was pooling around the property. It was determined that the rain drains were not properly extended away from the home so the system designer drew up a solution that the homeowners were happy with. The rain drains that terminated on the ground right next to the foundation were extended down into the ground and then drained over 60 feet away from the homes foundation so that they could run off safely into the street. It was an efficient and cost effective solution.

This home had condensation spots where the foundation walls met the floor. Each year the water issue seemed to be getting worse. The homeowners were worried about how this problem would progress, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing. Our design specialist was sent out to perform a full inspection and found hydrostatic pressure was causing this homes problems. 

To begin this project our installation crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard system. This will collect water to safely grade it to a TripleSafe sump pump, which then pushes the water out and away from the home. Along the walls our crew then installed BrightWall paneling, this will safely divert any moisture down the walls and into the new drainage system. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy. 

This homes crawlspace was open to the elements. As like most homes, the vents had simple screens over them to deter critters, and the exterior entrance was just a piece of plywood screwed in. As the years progressed, the wood was rotten and critters had chewed through the vent screens, gaining access into the crawlspace. After seeing a John's Waterproofing sign in a neighbors yard, they called us up to see how we could help. We sent out a design specialist who found the gutter downspouts to be dumping water near the homes foundation, and the homeowners reported cold floors during the winter months. To lower their energy bills and protect their home we crafted a full crawlspace solution which the homeowners accepted.  

To begin our crew started on the exterior. Each vent was sealed up and the exterior entrance was upgraded to an EverLast Doorway. We then extended the downspouts into the ground and installed a drainage line to take this water safely away from the homes foundation. Under the home we then removed all debris. To collect the groundwater we installed a SuperSump Plus in the lowest spot in the crawlspace, this then sends all water out and away from the home. Next we covered the dirt floor with TerraBlock Insulation. CleanSpace was then brought in. This 20 Mil woven vapor barrier is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place with our special four inch wide tape. Next a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam insulation was applied to the foundation walls. This home will now stay dry and healthy. 

This home had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier installed, but they found water was coming up through the ground and would cause this barrier to move out of place, The homeowners wanted to keep water away from the wooden aspects of their foundation, so they wanted to add to their waterproofing. After our design specialist inspected the exterior of the home and the crawlspace, a solution was crafted to suit the homeowners price range, and the homes needs. 

Our crew began by removing the old vapor barrier and debris from the crawlspace. We then dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the home, here we installed a three inch perforated pipe system. This will collect the ground water and send it along to a newly installed SmartSump. This will collect the water and send it out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. We ran this up the foundation walls and overlapped it to help protect this home from water damage. 

This older home had damp walls in the basement.  The homeowners had dealt with this,  thinking it was normal for water to get in.  And while it is normal, it is also unhealthy for your homes air and the homes longevity. After seeing John's Waterproofing at a local home show,  the homeowners were ready to see what a healthy basement could be. They called us up and set up their free inspection and estimate. 

To address the water issue,  we began be digging a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we installed a WaterGuard drainage system in a gravel bed. This has a BrightWall system installed on the foundation walls.  This brightens the space,  will not mold, and directs any wall moisture down into the drain system. The drain system naturally grades the collected water to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump,  from here the water is diverted out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet.  We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space remains dry and healthy.  

High humidity can be problematic for a homes health and longevity. This home was on the market and to set the home up for a smooth sale, they sellers had the home inspected, and found the crawlspace needed to be addressed. They called up John's Waterproofing upon their inspectors recommendation, and opted for our Reality PPP. This is the Pipe, Pump, and plastic deal. It sets the home up well for the buyers. 

Our crew arrived and began by removing the debris from under the home. We then dug a trench through the space and installed a three inch perforated pipe system in a silt sock. This will naturally collect the groundwater and grade it to a newly installed SmartSump pump to push the water safely out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the layers and running it up the walls to prevent water from reaching the vulnerable wooden portions of the crawlspace. 

This home had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier. The homeowners knew it needed to be changed out regularly to ensure the home was protected against water. However, the homeowners noted that water was found on the vapor barrier pretty often, and would lead to water mold to grow along the barrier. The homeowners knew that a better solution should be available and reached out to John's Waterproofing to talk over options. 

To address the homes needs, the homeowners chose the option that fit their budget and their needs. To begin work on the home, the crew removed the old vapor barrier. We then dug a trench though the space and installed a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect the groundwater and grade it along to the lowest spot in the crawlspace where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to send the water well away from the foundation. We then laid down a new layer of 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the seams and running it up the walls to prolong it's life. While the vapor barrier will still need to be checked and changed out as needed, by keeping the water under the barrier, it will last much longer! 

This homes unfinished basement had water weeping through the foundation walls. This home was older, and the homeowners knew that water issues wouldn't get better, only worse. They called up John's Waterproofing after searching online and scheduled their inspection. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection, the main water issue was due to hydrostatic pressure, and a solution was drafted and accepted. 

To begin addressing the homes water problems we dug a trench around the interior perimeter. Here we installed a bed of gravel with WaterGuard over this. This system is graded towards a low spot in the basement where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to dispel the water safely away from the homes foundation. To ensure all moisture along the walls are addressed we installed BrightWall paneling, a waterproof, easy to clean material that will not mold or rot. As an extra step of protection we also brought in a SaniDry dehumidifier. This space is now dry and healthy. 

While doing some landscaping these homeowners uncovered their exterior crawlspace entrance. Since moving in, this space had been out of sight, out of mind, but now, it was a rotting piece of wood with chunks missing. They pulled back the makeshift door and found pooling water and falling, damp fiberglass insulation. They did a quick online search and found John's Waterproofing. They called and set up for the soonest inspection they could get. We sent out a design specialist who performed a full inspection and drafted a solution to meet the homes needs and issues. 

To begin work, the crawlspace entrance was upgraded to an EverLast doorway. This will not rot or mold, and will keep critters from entering the crawlspace. We then installed a SuperSump plus in the low spot to collect the groundwater and sent it will away from the home. With the water moving we pulled out all of the old fiberglass and debris. Some mold spores were found on the wooden beams, and we applied Mold X2 as needed. The next step was laying down TerraBlock along the dirt floor for insulation. CleanSpace was then brought in, this 20 Mil woven vapor barrier is anchored to the walls, inserted under each wooden post, and fully secured into place. As a final step we insulated the foundation walls with spray foam. This space has been upgraded and the homeowners are thrilled. It looks clean, and they enjoy the energy savings that our encapsulation provides. 

Knowing they had some water issues,  these homeowners ventured under their home after heavy rains,  only to discover puddles under their home.  They put a few fans under the home to try to dry up the mess but knew this wouldn't provide a long term solution.  So they went to the internet and searched for a crawlspace repair service that would last. This is how they discovered encapsulation. When done correct and by professionals it keeps homes dry and healthy and is backed by warranties. They decided to call the experts at John's Waterproofing.

To begin our work we helped finish drying out the crawlspace,  we then cleared the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home.  Next a full drainage system which includes a perforated pipe in a silt sock to send any ground water to a Sump Pump installed in the low spot.  Next the dirt floor was insulated with TerraBlock and sealed in with CleanSpace, a 20 mil woven vapor barrier.  We then ensured the vents were sealed shut and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed.  As a final step we insulted the walls with Spray Foam.  This home is now protected from water damage. 

They basement had some hairlines cracks in the foundation walls. When heavy rains came along, water would enter the basement in these areas. The homeowners hadn't thought much about it, but as the years went by, water deposits were leaving discoloration in these spots. The homeowners looked online, and called up John's Waterproofing to get a full inspection for their home. The design specialist recommended the downspouts as well as the basement be addressed to protect the water from damage. 

To begin, the installation crew addressed the downspouts. Each downspout was extended into the ground where we installed a drainage system to divert the roof water safely out and away from the homes foundation. We then went to the basement. Using a jackhammer, a trench was made along the interior perimeter. Here we installed WaterGuard drainage, graded along to a TripleSafe sump pump. From the pump, water is sent safely away. The walls were then covered with a semi-finished BrightWall paneling. These will guide any wall moisture to the WaterGuard drain system to be addressed. The drain system is then covered over, created a nice smooth finish over the drain system. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space from having an possible issues with mold spores. This basement is now dry and healthy!

This homeowner called us up since they had been hearing critter squeaks coming from the crawlspace. They glanced under the home and could see their old 6 Mil vapor barrier had been chewed on and some droppings were scattered around. They debated laying out traps, but knew they would then need to check the traps and replace them as needed. Not wanting to do that, they searched online and decided to learn more about encapsulation as a critter deterrent. We scheduled to have a Design Specialist go out to perform a full inspection and discuss their options. 

The homeowners were happy to move forward with an encapsulation made to suit their home. To begin we cleared out the crawlspace. We then installed a SmartSump in the lowest spot as a precaution for any heavy rains. No major water issues were present, but the homeowners preferred to be prepared. We then laid down a layer of TerraBlock insulated to help the homes energy bills lower. We then brought in CleanSpace. This is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that comes with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. The white material makes it easy to see if any chewing does occur, but the woven fiber makes chewing through it very difficult and deters critters from doing so. We then sealed up all vents and used spray foam along the walls and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. Critters enjoy a damp environment and by keeping this spaces humidity regulated, it will make the space unwelcome to critters. The homeowners were thrilled with how much more inviting the space is and are happy to let us know the squeaks have stopped completely. 

This homeowner had looked into their attic and found their old fiberglass insulation had fallen from the rafters and littered the space in clumps. They called up John's Waterproofing, we had done their crawlspace with a full encapsulation and trusted us to get this job done right as well. After a full inspection our design specialist went over the full outline of the project and the benefits of our products and solutions. The homeowners were pleased with the proposal, and were ready to move forward. 

To begin out attic crew pulled out the old insulation and debris from the attic. We then air sealed around any protrusions that are in the attic. This will aid in insulation the space for years to come. We then installed new soffits and blew in cellulose insulation. The home will have much lower heating and cooling costs and the space is healthier with the nasty fiberglass pulled out. 

This daylight basement had been partially finished. The hillside of the basement was left unfinished, housing the laundry room and storage space, with the other portion finished with a doorway to the backyard. The back portion had sprung a leak though. Small cracks had appeared and water was dripping in. The homeowners had mover the storage items away from the foundation walls to keep things drier, but knew the issue would need to be solved. They called up John's Waterproofing to get some help. Since water issues hadn't made it to the finished section of the basement, the homeowners opted to have just a partial system installed. They were informed that should that part begin having issues, we can add onto the system at any time. 

To  begin helping, the crew dug a trench along the foundation wall, and laid in a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drain system. This will collect the water and grade it along to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump pump, which then dispels the water safely away from the home. The wall was covered with BrightWall panels, these guide water from the walls to the drain system. They will not rot or mold, and they are easy to clean, giving a semi-finished look to the space. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and the space was completed. Should they wish to add onto the system we can always complete the drain system around to rest of the basement and add in ThermalDry radiant barriers to insulate and act as a vapor barrier for the finished spaces. 

This home had some odd odors emanating from the crawlspace. The homeowner called up John's Waterproofing to have a full inspection performed to see what is causing the smell.  Upon inspection, the design specialist discovered the old fiberglass insulation was housing mold spores and mildew. This had begun to cause mold to crow on the wooden beams of the home as well where the fiberglass was still touching the home. To fix the space and protect it from having mold come back, a full encapsulation would be installed. 

To begin the old insulation, vapor barrier, and debris was properly removed. We then applied Mold X2 as needed throughout the crawlspace. To keep the mold from coming back, we began our encapsulation. A drainage system was installed, this will collect the groundwater and guide it to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which sends the water safely away from the homes foundation. TerraBlock insulation was laid down on the dirt floor and we sealed up the crawlspace vents. CleanSpace was then brought in, installed under each wooden post, anchored to the rim joist, and secured fully into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity levels controlled and mold from growing. And the final step was applying spray foam along the foundation walls. The homeowners are pleased with how their home already smells fresher and enjoy knowing the system will keep mold from being an issue by protecting their home in the long run. 

When popping into the attic space to pull down holiday decorations, the homeowner noted how the old insulation was very compacted to how it used to look. They searched online as to what this means, and learned that the insulation value for the attic significantly decreases once it has compacted. They then did some research and looked at their heating and cooling costs over the last few years and saw that the wattage used to keep the homes temperature levels comfortable, had been going up steadily. They knew it was time to re-insulate the attic. They called up John's, had their free inspection, and got on our schedule to get the job done. 

Our crew pulled out all of the old insulation. We then air sealed around every protrusion in the attic space. This will keep heating and cooling costs down and help the attic stay healthy. New soffits were installed and blown in cellulose was installed up to the recommended insulation 'r' value. Since the space was used for storage items we also installed a full deck space so the homeowners would have a safe storage area that wouldn't imped on the integrity of the insulation. 

This homes crawlspace was suffering from a draft.  The home was subsequently dealing with heightened heating and cooling costs during the Summer and Winter months.  They had changed out the windows of their home and now we're ready to address their crawlspace.  They called up John's Waterproofing to recieve a free inspection.  

To begin,  our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and the old fiberglass insulation. We installed a SmartSump as a back up for water issues,  and then began to encapsulate. We laid down TerraBlock insulation and sealed off the vents. We then installed CleanSpace. This is a 29 mil thick woven vapor barrier that goes under each wooden post,  attaches to the rim joists, and is sealed into place. We then undertakes a SaniDry Dehumidifier to keep the air in the crawlspace healthy.  Spray Foam was than applied to the foundation walls,  both insulating, and air sealing to complete the project.  

This homeowner called us about to address their crawlspace. It hadn't been looked at in years, but they knew the old insulation was failing. Their heating bills had been on the rise and the floor was cold to walk on. They knew fiberglass only had a few yeas of life before it didn't provide the 'r' insulation value and could stared festering. To provide a long term solution they wanted to hear about encapsulation. We scheduled their free inspection and had a design specialist go out to go in-depth into the benefits of a full encapsulation. 

They loved knowing that a solution would fix the issue and not just be a temporary band-aid to the homes issues. To begin the job our crew removed the old insulation, vapor barrier, and general debris from under the home. A full interior perimeter drain system was dug, and a perforated pipe system was installed. This will collect the groundwater and guide it to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. From there water is sent well away from the homes foundation. To insulate we then installed TerraBlock along the dirt floor. This was then encased with out CleanSpace. This goes under each wooden post, attaches along the rim-joist and is fully sealed into place with each vent being sealed off. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and Spray Foam applied to the foundation walls to finish off this job. 

This homes neighborhood had a local announcement about high levels of radon being found in a few of the homes and advised other homes to get tested as well. This homeowner decided to call up John's Waterproofing to schedule their continuous radon test. After the test had been in their home for three days, the home was found to have an average of 6 pCi/L of radon, well above the healthy level of 1.0 pCi/L. The homeowners were nervous about this, and wanted to have a mitigation system installed. To do this we drilled a hole in the basement floor where a pipe was inserted. This pipe is set up to suck the radon out from under the home and force it outside of the house to dissipate. Once installed we leave behind a charcoal radon test which the homeowner can use to test, and have checked by a third party company to ensure the mitigation system was installed properly and has lowered the radon levels to under 1.0 pCi/L. A few weeks after the install the results came in, and the home is now sitting at 0.6 pCi/L. The homeowner is happy to know their home is a healthier place. 

This homes basement had water creeping through the foundation walls and the homeowners were ready to get this issue addressed properly. They had tried a waterproof paint in the past, but that peeled and cracked open from water pressure. Now they called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection and hear about the options for their home.

To begin our work we used a jackhammer to dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement. Here, we laid in a bed of gravel and out WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect groundwater and water from the walls, grading it to a low point where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. From there water is pumped safely out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. For the walls, we installed our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, ensuring any water from the foundation walls is safely directed to the drainage system. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air healthy. The homeowners are excited to have warranties to back the products and installation to ensure their basement remains dry and healthy.  

This home had their crawl space insulated with fiberglass. They knew every few years it needed to be checked, it had a tendency to droop and fall out of place and would need to be reattached. After doing this a few times they began to wonder if there was a long term to solution that could insulate their crawl space. After doing some reading online, they called up John's Waterproofing to see if an encapsulation would be the solution they were looking for. 

To encapsulate this area, we began by pulling out the old fiberglass, vapor barrier and the other general debris that was present. With a fresh start, we installed a SuperSump Plus for any water to be collected in and sent away from the home. We then closed up the vents and insulated the floor with TerraBlock. CleanSpace was then used to encase the area, going under each wooden post, anchoring along the walls, and sealed into place. The walls were insulated with Spray foam. By insulating the floor and foundation walls we brought the crawlspace and the present HVAC systems into the homes envelope which will effectively lower the homeowners heating and cooling costs. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the space healthy, and the job was all completed. The homeowners are happy with the product and installation warranties and say they look forward to having insulation that lasts! 

Years had gone by since this homes crawl space had been inspected. Since then, the heating and cooling costs for the home had increased. To begin, the homeowners thought it was just based off of inflation and was unavoidable. However, after mentioning it to neighbors, they learned their bills had gone up more than others. Unsure as to why, they glanced under their home and saw the old fiberglass was hanging by threads. They researched online if that was normal and learned that fiberglass does droop and fall in a crawl space, and quickly loses its insulation value. To keep the space insulated, an encapsulation was needed. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled their inspection. 

To begin this project, our crew cleared out the old fiberglass, damaged vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a full drainage system to ensure water wouldn't be an issue, this takes the groundwater to the low point where a sump pump then sends it away from the foundation. Next TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor, vents sealed shut, and CleanSpace installed. This goes under every wooden post, anchors to the walls, and is fully sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier is installed, and Spray Foam insulation applied to the foundation walls. The homeowner looks forward to their heating and cooling costs going down!
