Your Dedicated Lane County, OR Crawl Space Repair & Basement Waterproofing Pros

"I don't have any water or issues I just need to repair my vapor barrier." We hear that a ton! Many homeowners will shy away from calling us because they are afraid that we are going to push them into buying a system they don't feel they need. Have no fears, our trained inspectors are not looking to push you around. They are looking to give you the system you need. In this case, it was a new vapor barrier and vent covers. We also removed all of the fallen insulation and debris from the space for the homeowner. 

Our crews went on a job in Junction City after the customer had called our office with complaints about a wet and leaking basement. Our team installed a WaterGuard system, BrightWall paneling, a SaniDry dehumidifier and a TripleSafe sump pump in the customer's home. The combination of these products working together will keep water and moisture issue out of the customer's basement. Ensuring a dry and healthy basement for years to come.

Our teams recently went to a home in Fall Creek to help a homeowner who thought that his downspouts were putting water back into his home's foundation. Our inspector, Vincent suggested installing a LawnScape Outlet.

Manuel and his team quickly set out to fix Ron's downspout issue. They installed a LawnScape Outlet which is an underground downspout extension that connects the downspout to a special LawnScape outlet. This sends the water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. It is the best solution for downspout extensions that are over 7 feet long and is a popular choice for sump pump discharge lines. LawnScape Outlet also has a removable lid for easy cleaning.

Now that our system is in place Ron no longer has concerns about water affecting his foundation.

Our crews recently went on a job in Veneta after a homeowner had called about their wet crawlspace. Our team replaced the old and virtually useless black plastic lining in their crawlspace with a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. A SmartSump pump was also installed to prevent future water intrusion. The customer now has a dry and healthy crawlspace for years to come.  

A homeowner had given us a call with concerns about their wet crawl space. Our crews went out and first removed all the debris from the crawl space. Then they installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on the floor and walls of the crawl space. The CleanSpace keeps out any moisture or water vapor from coming into the crawl space from the floor or walls. It also adds a nice-looking clean finish. CleanSpace also helps keep out pests. A SmartSump sump pump was installed in the crawl space as well. The SmartSump in perfectly designed for crawl spaces. In addition to the powerful pump, the SmartSump also has a built-in WaterWatch alarm system. So in the event of a plumbing leak, the alarm will sound to inform the homeowner that there is a problem while draining the water away before any damage is done. Now that homeowner no longer has to worry about water damaging their crawl space and home. 

This new home had a great deal of moisture and water in the plot of land the home was being built on. The owner was worried about water coming into the foundation over the years so they opted to have us come out and wrapped the foundation in Paraseal. This is a thicker exterior side waterproofing membrane used in new home construction to prevent water from entering the crawlspace. Most builders opt instead for the simple damp proofing accepted by code. This damp proofing is little more than black paint and wears away over time allowing for water and moisture to enter the space. 

This home is now protected from water intrusion for years to come and ready to continue building his perfect home. 

A homeowner had called our office with concerns about their wet crawl space and its effects it could have on the rest of their home. Our crews went out to help. After all of the loose debris was removed from the crawl space, CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed on the walls and floors of the crawl space. This liner prevents any moisture or water vapors from coming into the crawl space through the walls or floors, which means no new mold growth. It also helps to lower energy costs and keep out pests. Our crew also installed SmartDrain plumbing leak system. SmartDrain alerts the homeowner to a plumbing or other leak in the crawl space while draining the water away until the leak can be fixed. Now the homeowner can have peace of mind about their crawl space for years to come. 

A homeowner had called after noticing her home had a bit of a draft and really cold floors. Her heating and cooling costs were also quite higher than she would like. Our crews went out to the home to fix the problems that were originating from the crawl space. After clearing out all of the debris in the crawl space, they installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on all the walls and floor of the crawl space. CleanSpace not only prevents moisture and water vapor from coming into the crawl space, but it also separates the cold dirt ground of the crawl space from the rest of the house which helps keep floors warmer and lower heating costs. This home, like many others, had an open vented crawl space. Having an open vent means that any hot, cold or humid air from outside comes directly into the crawl space and therefore the rest of the house. Our crews installed an insulated vent cover to stop this from happening. Now the only air that the homeowner needs to control the temperature is the air inside her home, instead of the air from outside. Now the homeowner can enjoy her warm home and lower energy bills. 

We received a call from a homeowner who needed help with her wet crawl space. Our crews went out and first cleared out all the debris in the crawl space. Then they installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on all the walls and floor of the crawl space. CleanSpace prevents any moisture or water vapor from coming into the crawl space through the walls or floors. It can also help to lower energy costs and keep out pests. They also installed a SmartSump sump pump. The SmartSump is designed just for crawl spaces. the liner and lid are designed to form a tight seal around the CleanSpace liner. The SmartSump also has a built-in WaterWatch alarm system which will alert the homeowner in the event of a plumbing leak so that the problem can be fixed before any damage is done. Now this homeowner can have peace of mind knowing that her crawl space and home are healthier and dry.

CleanSpace prevents any moisture or water vapor from coming into the crawl space. This means no new mold growth. It also helps lower energy costs and helps to keep out pests. They also installed a SmartSump sump pump in the crawl space that forms a tight seal around the CleanSpace liner. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to dry and filter the air in the crawl space. Having clean and healthy air in the crawl space means having cleaner and healthier air in the rest of the home. Now, this homeowner can have peace of mind knowing that her crawl space is dry and healthy. 

We received a call from a homeowner in Blue River, Oregon who was concerned about their wet crawl space. Our crews went out to fix the problem. After clearing out all the debris from the crawl space, they installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on the walls and floor of the crawl space. CleanSpace prevents any moisture or water vapor from coming into the crawl space from the walls or floor. It also helps lower energy costs and keeps out pests. They also installed a SmartSump sump pump. The SmartSump is designed for crawl spaces with a liner and lid that form a tight seal around the CleanSpace liner. It also has a built-in WaterWatch alarm to alert the homeowner of a plumbing leak so that the problem can be fixed before any damage has occurred. Now this homeowner now can have peace of mind knowing his crawl space is dry and healthy for years to come.

This homeowner was concerned about the water coming in from the walls and floors of his daylight basement. Our inspector, Ben suggested installing our patented WaterGuard system, ThermalDry paneling, and a SuperSump pump.

Delfino and his team immediately set out to stop the water intrusion in Sean's daylight basement. The team installed ThermalDry paneling which is a flexible material installed over concrete walls and drains all wall seepage into our patented WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard perimeter drain collects intruding water and channels the water to the SuperSump pump. The SuperSump pump removes up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour smoothly and quietly.

Now that our systems are in place, Sean no longer has water intrusion issues and can enjoy his healthy new daylight basement space.

This homeowner has used John's Waterproofing for two previous projects and loved our company so much that they wanted to stick with our services. They were interested in what we offer for Seismic Retrofitting and knew that we could help. Our inspector, Dan suggests Seismic Retrofitting to reduce the risk of earthquake damage with professionally installed reinforcements. Without protection, the home can be at risk for major damage and be ineligible for earthquake insurance.

Luis and his team quickly set out to reinforce Adam's home. The Seismic Retrofitting process involves installing engineered metal connectors and other reinforcement materials to key stress points throughout the home's structure. The specially designed hardware includes hold downs, anchors and anchor bolts, strap ties and framing angles. Sometimes, wood blocking and structural sheathing are also incorporated into Retrofitting packages.

The homeowner is now extremely satisfied with their new system and can rest knowing that their home is more protected from earthquake damage.

This homeowner purchased the home with a "drainage" system already in place. They soon found out that it was a flawed system that did not work. The previous owner put a sump pump outside by the French drain with good intentions of pumping the water that was draining out of the crawlspace  away from the home. There was two problems with this solution, first the French drain was clogged and not pushing water out of the crawlspace like it should, causing water build up in the crawlspace. The second issue was that the pump was outside just sitting in the dirt. This made the pump pretty much worthless. We came in and encapsulated the crawlspace and added a smartsump inside the crawlspace, we also installed other products like our silver glo wall insulation and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Ensuring this crawlspace will stay dry, warm, and clean for years to come. 

This homeowner called John's Waterproofing because his basement was having water intrusion issues. Our fantastic inspector, Tom, advised installing our patented Waterguard drainage system, Thermal Dry wall and a Super Sump sump pump.

Pete, the homeowner, happily agreed to Tom's solution, and Lupe and his team quickly went to work. They installed Thermal Dry wall which stops water vapor, drains wall seepage into the Waterguard perimeter drain system and reflects heat back into the basement space. The Waterguard system is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint. It is nearly invisible once installed and it drains to the Super Sump sump pump that works quietly and efficiently to pump out all water.

Now that our systems are in place, Pete has a dry and healthy basement for many years to come. 

John's Waterproofing came out to this house to fix the structural damage that water intrusion had caused in the crawlspace. The homeowner was experiencing the effects of an unhealthy crawlspace: sagging floors, odors/musty smells, and our inspector suggested replacing rotting posts with Smart Jack and installing our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system.

Delfino and his team quickly set out to fix Laura's crawlspace. They replaced the rotted wooden posts that had been destroyed by water with Smart Jack Stabilizers. Smart Jack is a high-capacity, fully adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and can raise sagging floors to the proper level. The team also installed Cleanspace encapsulation in order to prevent any moisture from entering the crawlspace and causing more structural damage.

Laura is now very happy about her new waterproofed crawlspace and can enjoy level floors without fear of sagging or post rot.

This homeowner called John's Waterproofing because her crawlspace had standing water and fallen insulation that was torn up by rodents. Our inspector, Vince suggested removing the old insulation and installing Spray Foam insulation, our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system and a Triple Safe sump pump.

The homeowner agreed and Divine and his team quickly went to work. They started by removing the old, falling and torn insulation and replaced it with Spray Foam insulation. Spray Foam is preferable to fiber glass because it's closed celled and won't absorb or hold water vapor. They also installed CleanSpace insulation, a 20mil thick vapor barrier that encapulates and keeps out all moisture, prevents mold and mildew growth and comes with a 25-year warranty. A Triple Safe sump pump was installed and is designed to withstand all pumping requirements with its three pump system. It will even continue to work when the power goes out.

Cammie is now very pleased that her crawlspace is waterproofed and more energy efficient. She no longer worries about rodents or standing water.

This homeowner was interested in digging out her crawlspace so that there would be more room. She also was concerned about the status of her posts and if they were structurally sound. Our inspector, Carolann assured her that the posts were great and that John's Waterproofing could do the dig out if she wanted. Sheri decided that she did. So, Pedro, Ramon and their team set out to make her crawlspace deeper.

We dug out and made the crawlspace deeper and removed the excess dirt. Sheri is happy with her larger crawlspace and has possible plans for it in the future.

When Carolanne went to inspect this crawlspace she was alarmed at the supports of the house. Many held up by odd stacked boards or cement blocks. The space so narrow in other locations that she was unable to crawl in for a full inspection. Carolanne wisely suggested that the homeowner dig out the space to meet code requirements and replace these makeshift foundation supports with our Smart Jack posts. This will ensure a stable foundation for the home for years to come. 

Mr. and Mrs. Zauner called due to finding water in their crawl space. They didn't have any form of a barrier for the crawl space, however. So the soil was very moist, which can cause the posts to start to sink. 

Tyler and his crew went out and did a dry out of the space. To ensure that when they laid down the new Vapor Barrier, there wouldn't be any unnecessary moisture buildup. Thankfully their insulation had no signs of water buildup, or mold growth starting, so they left it be. 

The couple was astonished by the difference in smell, in that there wasn't any. They were pleased to find that the water had not caused any damage, other than puddles. 

Ron who lives in Cottage Grove, Oregon called into our office wondering what could be done to prevent critters getting into his crawl space that he had a hard time accessing due to it being a tight space. He also stated that currently there was no vapor barrier either. Our Deesign SPecialist Jacob went out to take a look and he founf was that there was no vapor barrier, the fiberglass unsulation was torn to shreds, most likely from critter activity, and that the humidity was about 80-90%. He told Ron about CLeanSpace and explained the benefits of encapsulating the entire crawl space and Ron agreed to go ahed and have this done. Foreman Tim and his crew were out to Ron's within a few days and in no time had the crawl space cleaned out with all of the older insulation pulled out. They installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to eliminate mold growth and humidity, encapsulated the entire crawl space with CLeanSpace including isolating the poles and then pout in Spray Foam insulation. Ron now has a clean, dry, rodent free crawl space that he does'nt have to worry about and Ron knows he can count on all of us here at John's Waterproofing Company to come out and make sure everything is working properly yearly. Ron has also noticed that the floors on the bottom floor of his house stay warmer.

The homeowners had a finished basement and hired a local contractor to come and revamp the space with some upgrades. While working, the contractor was removing the old faux wood floor panels and found they had been installed directly over the concrete flooring in the basement. While the finished basement had shown no water damage when the job was taken on, the concrete flooring was completely saturated with water. Had this basement not been getting an upgrade, this could have warped the floor and caused some serious damage to the home. Before continuing work, the contractor called Johns for help, they knew a well installed Waterproofing system would need to be installed before any more updating was done to the space. 

Since the homeowners had already chosen a local contractor to perform the remodel of this space, John's came in to create an unfinished basement so that the contractor could do their work. Once the space was cleared of the flooring and wall coverings, we got to work. We installed ThermalDry Wall Bubble Wrap and Brightwallpanels to all the walls to make sure no water damage could infiltrate the concrete walls. To combat the floor space, we installed a watergaurd pipe along the interior floors and a TripleSafe Sump Pump so the water could be collected and sent away from the homes foundation. 

With the basement fully waterproofed, our crew was done and the local contractor was able to come in and finish the job. The homeowners were lucky that their contractor knew what needed to be done to protect the beautiful work they were able to do, now their basement can be finished and used without worry of water. 

As a note, Johns Waterproofing does offer our Total Basement Finishing package and we will happily waterproof and fully create a usable basement to suit your desires. Most contractors do not do waterproofing, so, if you choose to use another company for your basement finishing needs, please call us first so we can waterproof the area before they come in. Even if we are not finishing the space, we can help protect the investment you are about to make. 

Homeowner has a dirt floor crawlspace attached to the garage. Checks on the crawlspace after heavy rains to make sure everything was okay, but has now discovered weeping walls on the concrete slab walls. Is nervous that this could begin to work its way into the house above or into the garage. The homeowners knew it was time to protect the home with a waterproofing solution before long lasting damage occurs. 

To begin, the crawlspace had to have all of the general debris removed and the dirt floors were dug out so our install crews could move through and encapsulate the space without issue. The install crew added in a Smart Sump and SaniDry Pump to keep any water build up under control. We then isolated the posts under the house so that a clean and uniform space could be built. We then covered the crawlspace with our product; CleanSpace. From top to bottom the crawlspace is a waterproofed beauty. 

The home and garage are now safe from any intruding water. 

This home had a pooling issue by the downspouts off of their home. The water would successfully get off of the roof without overfilling, but all of the water was dumping right next to the home. Due to the home being in a pretty level plain, this allowed the water to just sit and pool, causing damage to the homes siding and creating mud pits next to the home. 

To get the water our and a safe distance from the home, we dug a trench out and away from the home, and ran an underground pipe from the downspout to a safe distance from the home to a new LawnScape Outlet. When this was all set up, we covered the new pipe up, and patted it down so there would be no oddities in the homeowners lawn. This will protect the home from pooling along the exterior of the home. Keeping their foundation safe. 

The homeowners went to check out their crawlspace, they were happy to see that there was no visible water, however, they noticed some odd streaking spots on their poured foundation. They looked up this issue and discovered they had weeping walls. Water vapors were pushing through the porous walls and the water was leaving trails where it would frequent. To solve this issue, they called John's Waterproofing.

Our crew came out and was glad to see that how their home was set up, they wouldn't have large amounts of water to deal with, the home just needed a vapor barrier that could keep condensation and water vapors from working their way up into the home. To get the home fixed up, our crew laid out our Cleanspace vapor barrier. This is a 20 Mil think woven vapor barrier. It is cut to fit the room exactly. It is secured to the walls to keep all water from entering the space. Each pier under the home is isolated and every seam is specially secured so it doesn't move around or bunch up. This crawlspace will now stay dry and healthy!

The basement had been waterproofed, and finished, and the homeowners were pleased with the usable space they had added. However as time progressed they noticed that their basement would feel humid when the weather heated up. they began to worry about the water vapors in their basement and were nervous about what kind of damage that could do. For help, they called John's Waterproofing. When our specialist arrived they checked the humidity levels and it was higher then it should be. With no other evidence of water issues in the basement, we helped by installing a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidier. This instantly made a difference and allowed the homeowners to keep the finished basement they have without having to redo the whole system. They were so happy that the solution to their problem was so simple and non-intrusive. 

This home had been encapsulated by us a few years prior. The homeowners had decided to do some remodeling to their home. This remodel included some work that required new holes to be drilled into the crawlspace foundation for electrical wires and pipes. After the work was finished, the homeowners were worried that these could cause water to enter their encapsulated area. To ensure their home would stay protected they wanted John's Waterproofing to examine the area for any needs. 

Since the home had been encapsulated and checked annually, the home was still well waterproofed. The contractors had done a good job at not messing up the waterproofing material in the crawlspace, but the new holes did have a chance of leaks. To ease the homeowners worry we did some quick work to fully secure the already installed Cleanspace along any possible problem areas. This was a quick and easy job, and the homeowners can rest assured they are still protected. 

When waterproofing a crawlspace, it can be appealing to go with the bare minimum and save money. The crawlspace can't be seen, and for that reason a lot of people don't particularly wish to invest in it. However, getting a waterproofing system in place that is made to solve your water issues is important for your homes health, the cleanliness of the air in your home, and also saves money in the long run. These homeowners found this out the hard way. They had originally had a thin plastic vapor barrier laid out in their crawlspace. Yes it was cut to the rooms dimensions, however, it was not sealed to the posts, to the wall, and this caused issues. Water and vapor was seeping into their home and the heavy water weight was destroying the fiberglass insulation they had. The cue that made them check out their crawlspace was a damp and moldy smell permeating up into the home. Water and mud had pushed the vapor barrier around, causing water to be absorbed into the above insulation and as time progressed, it was molding and falling a part. 

To solve this issue, we removed the old insulation and vapor barrier and cleaned out any other debris we found. We installed a Smart Sump Pump designed for crawlspaces and a Smart Drain with a discharge line out and away from the homes foundation/  Each pier was then isolated and wrapped. We then custom cut Cleanspace to fit the crawlspace and secured it into place. Ensuring that water wouldn't have a way to push this 20 Mil woven material out of place. Due to the humidity that the area experienced we also added in a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and added spray foam to protect the home. 

This home quickly began to smell better and water is now kept out of the crawlspace! 

This home was ready to sell, a good buyer was lined up and it was time for the inspection. That was when the leaky crawlspace was found, weeping walls were seen on the porous poured concrete walls and the future homebuyers got nervous about what damage was under the home if water was a problem. To assess the damage, John's Waterproofing was called out. Luckily the weeping walls were something we could combat and no long term damage was done, but we did recommend waterproofing the crawlspace to keep it dry and healthy moving forward. 

To get the sale to go through, the seller agreed to waterproof the crawlspace with us. Our install crew got rid of the debris from under the home and installed a SuperSump Pump to direct the water out and away from the home. We also added in a three inch perforated pipe along the interior of the homes foundation to collect water and help it go to the pump. We also added in a 6 Mil vapor barrier that was sealed up so it wouldn't budge. The sale went without a hitch after the crawlspace was properly cared for. 

The crawlspace was experiencing wet dirt floors and high humidity. This was starting to damage the wooden beams and posts under the home and the homeowners wanted to put a stop to this before the damage got worse. 

Our crew came out and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump, capable of pumping out 2,200 gallons of water per hour. They then sealed the space up with Cleanspace, ensuring all of the posts were isolated and protected and that it was secured against the concrete foundation walls. We then added in spray foam as needed to insulate the home. Lastly since the crawlspace experienced high levels of humidity we installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to combat the moisture in the air. 

This home had water entering the crawlspace at its exterior downspouts which were dumping the roof water near the homes foundation. The water was pushing its way into the home in these spots, boring tiny holes in the porous concrete foundation. Due to the prolonged water damage, the old fiberglass insulation was falling a part. This water damage had also allowed mud to cake over the top of the old vapor barrier. The old vapor barrier had not been secured along the walls and so all the water that made its way through the walls would pool under the house during the rainy season. 

To begin, our install crew pulled out the old vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and all other general debris from under the home. Next each downspout was given a downspout extension so that the water could be pulled out and away from the home. They then installed a SuperSump under the home to divert any water under the house down a discharge line away from the home. Next a vapor barrier was installed that covered the space and was secured in place so it wouldn't move out of place. 

This home will now be ready for the rainy season and stay clean and dry. 

This home had years of weeping walls in its basement. The stains on the walls showed clear trails of where the water was entering the basement, and the new homeowners were looking forward to their home having a clean and fresh look. They called John's Waterproofing so they could rest assured that their new home would be properly waterproofed. 

Our crew came in and added in a TripleSafe Sump Pump that would take all of the basement water and push it along a newly installed discharge line so the water wouldn't harm the homes foundation. To help bring the water to the sump pump, a trench was dug along the perimeter of the basement and WaterGuard was installed to collect water. We also installed BrightWall Basement Wall coverings which is a durable, washable and inorganic system that will allow any water issues to be directed down to the new drainage system. When our crew was finished the basement looked bright and clean, the homeowners can rest easy their home is safe from water intrusion in the basement. 

The new homeowner noticed a musty smell coming from the crawlspace. Worried about what this would entail they went under the home. They noticed that the vapor barrier that was under the home was coming a part in a few places and that there were some water stains around these places. To ensure the home was waterproofed they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and removed the old vapor barrier, it had multiple tears we could find and that musty smell was seeping into their home. To control this issue we added in a SmartSump Pump to pump all of the water a safe distance away from the home. We then sealed up the space with our 20 Mil woven CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. This isolates all of the wooden piers and seals against the wall and comes with our warranty that it will be tear and rip resistant for twenty-five years. The home instantly smelt better and the new homeowners were glad their home was fully waterproofed and protected. 

This home had a concrete block foundation that was having water seep through into the crawlspace. The water build up had caused some mineral build up along the block creases. The homeowners knew that water was not a good sign for the wood pieces of their home, so they wanted to protect their home with some waterproofing. To get the job done right, they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by cleaning up the debris under the home. We then sealed up some of the leaking points so that the water wouldn't creep through. In the lowest point of the crawlspace we installed a SmartSump pump which is specifically designed for tight spaces. Once we had this set up to take the water out and away from the home we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is sealed against the walls, wrapped around each footing to isolate the wooden piers away from water, and fully sealed up. This system will keep this crawlspace dry and healthy! 

The dirt crawlspace floor in this home had an issue with becoming a wet and muddy environment when the rainy season hit. The homeowners would smell the damp dirt from their home above and when they went under their home and saw that the wooden piers in their homes foundations were wet, they called John's Waterproofing for some help. 

Our crews came out and began by clearing out the debris under the home and digging out some of the mud that was present. Once the crawlspace was ready to be worked on, a SmartSump pump was installed to discharge water a safe distance away from the home. Our crew then laid down a dimpled drainage matt to help divert water to the sump pump. Our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation was installed over the drainage matting and then Cleanspace was installed to seal it all up. Our crew also installed a couple SmartJacks to give support to the wooden piers under the home that had suffered from the water damage. The home is now protected from water and stays warm and dry. 

These new homeowners noticed that their crawlspace would get very wet when the rain hit, they also knew that their home was in a high risk flood zone. After doing their research they wanted to prepare their home as best they could for water damage and the possibility of flooding. To assist on these fronts, they called John's Waterproofing.

Our crew began by removing debris from under the home. We then did a full encapsulation to make sure the home could handle the water that would seep under the home. We dug a trench along the interior parameter and installed a perforated pipe line to collect water and divert it to the sump pump we installed under the home. This would take the water out away from the homes foundation. We then laid down drainage matting, TerraBlock Crawlspace Insulation, and Cleanspace. These work together to give extra waterproofing protection to a home. With the crawlspace encapsulated and sealed up we then installed SmartVent foundation flood vents. These work to allow water under the home if flooding occurs. If a flood event happens, the extreme water pressure can force a foundation to shift if the water cannot be equalized. By allowing the crawlspace to fill with water in a flood, the home is much more likely to stay put and not suffer foundation damage. 

This home has a fully finished basement with waterproofing already installed, however their exterior entry to their basement had a common issue of flooding which would seep into the home. The homeowners were getting older and they wanted to find a way to stop the water from entering the basement so they wouldn't have to do damage control when it flooded. 

Our crew came out and dug into the cement outside of their doorway. With a trench dug they installed a TrenchDrain to collect the water and carry it out and away from the home. Since the basement was waterproofed we were able to hook this system up to the discharge line they already had, making this a quick job to complete. Their basement no longer suffers from flooding and the home owners are relieved they wont have to do damage control when the rain comes back around. 

These homeowners had been visiting the Lane County Home and Garden Show when they stopped at our booth. They had been experiencing a high rise in their heating and cooling bills. They hadn't known why the change happened, but after seeing our booth they began to wonder if it was because of crawlspace issues. To get to the bottom of the problem they had a design specialist go out to give a free estimate. While under their house, it was determined that the moisture content in their crawlspace had caused the fiberglass insulation under their home to droop and fall apart. Fiberglass is made to be encased in a wall, not exposed to the elements. 

To solve this issue, out crew began by removing all the fiberglass insulation and debris from under the home. With a clean workspace they installed a SmartSump pump to get the water out and away from the home, we then added some layers to insulated and waterproof the area. We installed a dimpled drainage matt, TerraBlock crawlspace insulation, and topped it off with a Cleanspace vapor barrier that can be sealed into place. The walls of the crawlspace were covered with SilverGlo insulation and the Cleanspace was then sealed against that on all walls. 

The homeowners quickly felt a difference in their home and were so pleased to call us a month later to inform us their bill had gone down significantly! 

This home was getting ready to go on the market, to ensure they could get the asking price they were aiming for, they needed to address their crawlspace problems. After a particularly bad storm, their crawlspace had flooded. The damage had made their dirt floor uneven and hard to move through, and the exterior entrance had been clogged up with mud from water run off. To fix this issue, John's Waterproofing was called in. 

To begin, our crew made the crawlspace entrance usable, they cleared it out, and then dug out parts of the crawlspace to give it a level dirt floor that we could work on. A trench was then dug on the interior parameter and we added in a 3 in perforated pipe that would collect water run off and direct it to the new SuperSump Pump we installed. This would work to take the water that was collected and divert it safely away from the homes foundation. Next we used a 6 Mil Plastic Vaper barrier to waterproof the crawlspace, taping this into place so it doesn't get pushed aside. We then added in an EverLast access well to keep the crawlspace entrance from getting blocked again and installed a Everlast doorway to close it off. 

The home is now clean, dry, and ready to go on the market!

This old home had old pipes that ran under their home in the crawlspace. As the years layered on the pipes were subdued to high humidity and flooding waters. With the water pressure hitting these pipes from the interior and exterior, they began to rust and crack faster than they were expected to. This lead to a pipe burst that added to the pooling issues under the home and it was time for some help. 

Our plumbing crew arrived and replaced 40 feet of pipe in the crawlspace so it wouldn't cause further issues. Next our installation crew arrived and installed a SuperSump Plus under the house with a discharge line that ran all the water out and away from the homes foundation via a new LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a 6 Mil Vapor barrier and added in new vent covers to help seal off the crawlspace. Since there was high humidity under the home we also installed a SaniDry Sedona to maintain a healthy humidity level under the home. 

This home had a generic 6 mil vapor barrier installed recently. A different waterproofing company had told this family that this was all they would need to solve their issues. However, within a year, they noticed that water was coming through the foundation walls and was pooling along the foundation base and even overflowing on top of the vapor barrier. While they were upset that the vapor barrier wasn't doing enough, they knew they needed to take action to get their crawlspace fully waterproofed. 

Our crews came out and began by removing the old vapor barrier and any debris under the home. We then installed our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation and a SuperSump Plus sump pump to direct all water out and away from the foundation of the home. We then isolated each pier and sealed up the space with our CleanSpace 20 Mil vapor barrier. We did spray foam along the foundation walls to help the crawlspace's temperature be regulated and added in a SaniDry dehumidifier to regulate the relative humidity. To encase the space we finished by installing new vent covers. 

Large basements can be great, however, water creeping up through the poured floor, not so great. This home's unfinished basement acted as general storage, laundry room, home gym, and large indoor games for the children. But the home had water pooling on the floor. The walls had all been waterproofed from the exterior, but with a nearby stream and high levels of rain, the water that passed under the home decided to move up through the flooring. To protect this home and its assists, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by installing our DryTak baseboard waterproofing system around the interior perimeter since the foundation of this home was a single pour. We then dug trenches throughout the concrete flooring to ensure we got all of the groundwater collected by our flangeless WaterGuard system. These will work together to direct all water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. This will divert all water out and away from the home's foundation, keeping this space dry and healthy. 

This home's crawlspace entry was accessible from the outside of the building, however, it was a bit small and difficult to enter and had a crack that was allowing water to slip under the home and cause significant pooling near the entryway. To protect their home, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by working on the entryway, we safely enlarged the crawlspace entrance and installed a new Turtl entry. This helped make the crawlspace more accessible, safely removed the crack since it was cut out, and will ensure water doesn't use this space to gain access under the home. We then cleared out any debris and checked for cracks. Any crack was sealed up. We then isolated each post so that it would be safe from water and encased the dirt floor with our Cleanspace vapor barrier. This seals to each component under the home and is anchored to the walls creating a waterproof seal. This home will now be dry and healthy! 

A vapor barrier should be checked regularly to ensure it stays in place and doesn't have rips or tears. If it goes unchecked, then water can find a way back into the crawlspace and cause damage. This is what happened to this home, the vapor barrier had been installed and then left as it was for years and years. When the homeowner finally checked under their home, mud was caked on top of the old barrier. There was evidence of rodents, from chew marks on the barrier, as well as the above fiberglass insulation pulled into some nests under the home, leaving the insulation disheveled. To find a solution the homeowners turned to John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by removing the old insulation and vapor barrier. Once a clean slate was present we installed a SmartSump pump that would collect groundwater and divert it away from the home. To help lower energy costs we laid our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation on the dirt floor and encased it with our 20 Mil rip and tear-resistant vapor barrier. This seals under each wooden post and is anchored to the walls to keep it in place. The foundation walls were then insulated with spray foam. This home was dry and healthy, and with our annual maintenance, it will stay that way!

The basement of This home was used for a laundry room and general storage. The homeowners liked this added storage space but began to notice some mold spores growing on some of the cardboard boxes they kept their items in. They would inspect annually for water along with the flooring and check the walls for condensation but never found any. Knowing that something should be done to protect their basement, they called in John's Waterproofing.

Our crew was able to use a hygrometer to measure the moisture content in the air and found very high humidity levels in this basement. This meant that their basement had become a breeding ground that is ideal for mold spores to grow. With no cracks or condensation present, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain a healthy humidity level in this space. This basement will now be dry and healthy.  

Energy Bills have a tendency to fluctuate, but this homeowner thought theirs was a bit too drastic of a change and started looking for a way to help control their energy bills. After looking throughout the home, they noticed that the fiberglass insulation in the crawlspace was falling apart and in some places, was completely on the ground.  After researching this issue, the homeowners learned that this happens due to water weight in the insulation, and the best way to protect a home, it through proper crawlspace insulation. 

To help out, we began by removing the old insulation and clearing out debris from under the home. We then installed a SmartSump to collect groundwater and divert it away from the home. Next TerraBlock crawlspace insulation was laid over the dirt floor and sealed in with our CleanSpace 20 Mil thick vapor barrier. This encases the crawlspace to keep water out and the TerraBlock will help to regulate the temperature. Next, the foundation walls were insulated with spray foam, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed. To finish making this home dry and healthy we upgraded the vent covers so that the unconditioned air outside wouldn't enter the crawlspace. 

Before selling a home, it is good to get your home prepped and ready to sell, so we often work with real estate companies to help a home get cleaned up before it hits the market. This home had a vapor barrier, but it was torn, dusty, and had insulation falling down in the crawlspace, making it unsafe to move through. To set this home up for success from the foundation up, John's Waterproofing was called in. 

Our crew began by removing the old barrier, and the insulation. We then added in a three-inch perforated pipe to collect the groundwater from the crawlspace to guide the water to a newly installed SuperSump pump. This then diverts the water out and away from the home. The space was then covered in a 6 Mil vapor barrier to give it a fresh clean, and dry crawlspace. This home is now set up to sell! 

The crawlspace of This home had become an afterthought and hadn't been checked and inspected in years. Eventually, the homeowners noticed that part of their floor was a bit 'springy' and would bounce when someone walked. To try to figure out why the crawlspace was looked at, and standing water was found. It had pooled a good amount in the lowest section of the crawlspace, bring water up and around the wooden post present, and this post was rotten, badly. To keep the home safe, the homeowners called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews came out and cleared out the crawlspace, we then replaced the rotten post with a SmartJack, which is waterproof, and cant rot or mold. We then encased the crawlspace without the CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil thick product is torn and rip-resistant and comes with a twenty-five-year warranty. We then changed out the vent covers and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep this space dry and healthy! 

The crawlspace of This home was damp and had high humidity levels. The homeowners also could feel that the ground floor was cold to the touch, and this meant their energy bills were higher than they needed to be, energy was being wasted trying to combat the floor's temperatures. To solve these issues, Johns Waterproofing was called in. 

When we looked at the crawlspace we learned a few things. Firstly the space had a simple vapor barrier draped over the dirt flooring, however since the vents were leaking water into the space, evident by water stains, water was just going over the top of what had been done. Secondly, we learned that insulation had been in the crawlspace since strands of fiberglass could be found, but it must have been taken out by the previous people who worked in this space. To help we cleared out the old barrier. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect groundwater and divert it a safe distance from the home's foundation. We then encased the crawlspace in our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier. This seals under each wooden post and is anchored to the walls. The foundation walls were then sprayed foam to insulate the space against the outside temperatures. We then added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and new vent covers to get this home dry and healthy! 

A poured foundation is a porous material, and when it has water pressure pushing in it, this can lead to moisture, or a leak to form. The basement of This home had damp to the touch sections of their basement walls, and it had become frequent enough that water stains were visible year-round. To keep water from entering this space, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by digging a trench on the interior parameter to install a WaterGaurd drainage system. This collects the groundwater and takes it all to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump and directs the water out and away from the foundation of the home. To keep the moisture on the walls controlled we installed our BrightWall panel system to keep all moisture moving down to the drainage system. This home now stays dry and healthy. 

This home had high levels of water in the crawlspace. There was mud caked around the wooden posts, but luckily no rot had set in. The homeowners knew they needed to find a waterproofing solution to ensure the foundation of their homes would be safe and dry. 
To get this home set up, we began by installing a three-inch perforated pipe along with the interior parameter of the crawlspace. This would collect the groundwater and divert it to the newly installed SmartSump pump which then pushes all water out and away from the foundation of the home. A 6 Mil vapor barrier was then laid throughout the space. We then upgraded the plywood entryway to an EverLast door so it wouldn't be able to absorb water. This home is now dry and healthy!

This home had a little indent in the terrain nearby, where water would stand, and water would flow into the crawlspace of the home, making that area flood when rains arrived. There were signs of water stains high along the foundation walls, showing that it was a consistent issue. To waterproof the crawlspace thoroughly, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews came out and cleared out the crawlspace debris. We then installed a three-inch perforated pipe that ran along the interior parameter to collect the groundwater. All of the groundwater flowed to the TripleSafe sump that we installed and pushed the water a safe distance away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then encased the area with a CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20-millimeter thick barrier is made out of woven material has a 25-year long warranty and is sealed under each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. To add protection against humidity we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

These homeowners had purchased their new homes before the rainy season had begun. Upon inspection, the crawlspace had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier and had appeared dry enough, and had fiberglass insulation tied up to keep the home above warmer. For this reason, there was no evidence for the new homeowners to be concerned. However, once the heavy rains began they quickly noticed a musty smell emanating from their crawlspace. To get help, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

When we examined the crawlspace we learned that the fiberglass insulation was harboring mold. The insulation had been stuffed into the crawlspace joists but there were mold spores growing along the wooden beams behind the fiberglass. This is a common issue we see since fiberglass insulation is not made to be open to the elements as it is in a crawlspace. To fix the issue of this home we removed all of this insulation and the old vapor barrier. We then installed a SmartSump pump to divert groundwater safely away from the home. To help the home have control over their energy bills we laid down a layer of TerraBlock crawlspace insulation to insulate the dirt floor. The foundation walls were insulated with our SilverGlo insulation panels and this was all covered without a CleanSpace vapor barrier that seals under each wooden post, and anchors along each wall to give the crawlspace a truly waterproofed seal. 

When water is seen under your home, this is a sign that issues could be on their way, or already have taken hold. This home had water trickling down the foundation walls in a few different areas. The homeowners kept an eye on this, and eventually they noticed an odd musty smell emanating from their crawlspace. With the threat of mold becoming a major issue, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by clearing out the debris from throughout the crawlspace. With a clean space to work in, they installed a perforated pipe system around the interior parameter to collect groundwater and divert it to a newly installed SmartSump pump. From here the water is pushed out away from the foundation to a LawnScape outlet. Each wooden post was then isolated with our Cleanspace vapor barrier. This vapor barrier was then laid throughout the crawlspace and anchored along the top of the foundation walls to seal out the water. We then also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to ensure the crawlspace humidity levels would not promote mold growth so this space would be dry and healthy. 

This crawlspace had water under their home, it was coming up through the dirt floor and when the rains hit, pools of water and flooding would occur. Knowing that prolonged water exposure is bad for a home's foundation, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

To create a dry and healthy crawlspace, our crew began by clearing out the debris under the home. They then installed a SmartSump pump to collect groundwater and divert it a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. Our installers then encased the space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil woven material is inserted under each wooden post to protect against water intrusion, and it is anchored to the foundation walls. 

This home had an odd smell emanating from under the home. Upon inspection, there were water stains dripping down around the vent covers on two of the sides of the home. To get the water cared for, the homeowners wanted to get their homes waterproofed. 

Our crews went out and removed the debris from under the home. To keep the groundwater from being stagnant under the home we installed a three-inch perforated pipe system to move the water to a new SmartSump pump which then pushes the water out and away from the home to a new LawnScape outlet. We then installed SilverGlo crawlspace insulation along the walls and laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This seals under the wooden posts and anchors to the walls. To top it off we installed new vent covers to keep this home dry and healthy. 

High humidity in a crawlspace creates a great breeding ground for mold. This home had a damp and musty smell and mold spores were beginning to take hold along the wooden posts. To protect the home and keep mold from getting worse, the homeowners sought help from John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by removing debris from the crawlspace. The mold was handled thoroughly by a local mold remediation company. With the mold taken care of we then installed a SmartSump pump to collect the groundwater and divert it away from the home. We then laid down a layer of 6 Mil vapor barrier and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to ensure that this crawlspace would remain dry and healthy. 

This homes sump pump was pieced together years back. It seems to have worked for a little while, but it could not keep up with the amount of water that was coming in long term. The homeowner knew this needed to be fixed, as the sump pump ended up clogged with dirt and water would pool around the pump. 

Our crew went out and cleared out the general debris, the wooden post nearest the old sump pump was rotting and unstable. We replaced this post with a new SmartJack to give the support needed. We than installed a parameter of three inch perforated piping to collect groundwater and move it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here a buried discharge line was ran outside, taking the water a safe distance from the homes foundation. Next our crew laid down a 6 Mil vapor barrier and changed out the vent screens. The home will now be able to keep up with the water, having this crawlspace be dry and healthy. 

This home had us do a crawlspace encapsulation a few years back, but had opted out of upgrading their access well. It was large, and easy to use, water wasn't entering the crawlspace through it, so it was still in relatively good condition, however it was made of wood.  As the years went by, this wood did end up seeing a lot of water,  and was starting to show wood rot and was deteriorating. Upon one of the homes annual service checks, we were able to spot a portion of this access well, that was getting a but squishy to the touch. To keep water from breaking through this point and getting under the home, the homeowners decided it was time for an upgrade. Our crew removed the old access well and doorway and installed an EverLast Access Well and EverLast Door. These will work to protect this dry crawlspace, and is all made out of inorganic materials, so it wont succumb to water issues. 

Falling fiberglass insulation and caked on mud, these issues pledged this home. The caked on mud had left the old vapor barrier stiff and difficult to move around. To find a solution to their water issues, the home owners brought in John's Waterproofing. 

The first issue we addressed with this home was the tight crawlspace entrance. It was difficult to maneuver into, so we cut out the concrete to widen the space and installed an EverLast Door and EverLast Access Well. With this issue we addressed, the crew removed the old insulation and cut up the old vapor barrier to be able to remove it. Once the space was cleared out we installed a SuperSump pump and UltraSump back up should a power outage occur. To add insulation back to this crawlspace we installed our TerraBlock along the dirt floor. The space was than encased in our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is installed under the wooden beams, and anchored along the walls. We than used spray foam to insulate the foundation walls. The final work for this crawlspace was installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This home will now be dry and healthy. 

A crawlspace that is open to the elements with falling insulation leads to high energy bills. This is the sad equation that was affecting this home, and the high energy bills were getting to be annoying. To solve this issue, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by removing the old insulation and debris from under the home. To collect the groundwater we then installed a SuperSump pump with an UltraSump back up. This will work to keep all groundwater out and away from the homes foundation. We than began to insulate, to make this a crawlspace specific insulation, we installed our TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and used Spray foam along the foundation walls. To fully encase the space we installed out 20 Mil CleanSpace vapor barrier and new vent covers to ensure everything outside of the crawlspace, would stay outside. As a final step we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This home is now dry and healthy and the homeowners are ecstatic to see their energy bills go down in cost. 

This older home had a general drainage system that had been built into the basement flooring. However as the home aged, the concrete floor was letting more groundwater into the space, and the old drain could no longer keep up with the amount of water that was present. 

The homeowners were ready to update their basement and to do so, we dug a trench along with the interior parameter and installed a WaterGuard drainage system. This collects the groundwater and diverts it to a new TripleSafe sump pump. From here all water is pushed out and away from the home via a discharge line. This home can now keep up with the water levels and will stay dry and healthy. 

The basement of this home had previously been addressed and waterproofed. At the time the homeowners had opted out of addressing the three downspouts off of their home. At the time, each downspout directed water about four or five feet away from the home. Since the basement had been waterproofed, the homeowners didn't wish to do more work. However, a wind storm ended up dropping some branches off of a nearby tree, damaging two of the downspouts beyond repair. The homeowners were now ready to upgrade their downspouts. John's Waterproofing came out and extended the downspouts down into the ground, each downspout then had a discharge line buried underground to take the water safely out and away from the foundation of the home. Here the water exits via a LawnScape outlet.

Although this crawlspace didn't have any excessive water problems, there was always moisture rising from the dirt. At a Home and Garden Show, the homeowner stopped at John's Waterproofing booth where he learned that 50% of the air in his home was rising from the crawlspace and the homeowner's child suffered from significant allergy problems so he wanted the problem fixed right away.

A System Designer came to the home and following a thorough inspection, the designer sat down with the homeowner and showed him what we could do to clean the air and help his son breathe better. 

The crew arrived a few weeks later and got to work. The old barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris were removed from the crawlspace and all exterior vents were sealed. Because water intrusion wasn't an issue neither a drain system nor a sump was necessary so after sealing all the vents, they commenced installing TerraBlock, a dense foam barrier that aids in insulation, and the CleanSpace 20 mil, a nylon-reinforced plastic barrier that covered the space with sealed seams and attached to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to maintain moisture levels, thereby preventing mold growth and continuously filtering the air, keeping it clean and dry. Lastly, 2.5" foam insulation was applied to the walls. Now the homeowner can expect not only cleaner air but lower utility bills as well. 

The homeowner was concerned about musty odors coming from his crawlspace and feared there may be a mold problem. He had done his research and was interested in encapsulating his crawlspace for the health of his home and family.

John's Waterproofing set an appointment with the homeowner and performed a thorough inspection of the crawlspace and the exterior of the home around the foundation. We found several inches of water in different areas in the crawlspace as well as mold growth on some of the posts and beams. Our System Designer went step by step over a plan to remedy the problems.

A couple of weeks later one of our trained installation teams was dispatched to the job site and went to work right away. All debris and insulation were removed from the crawlspace, MoldX2 was applied to kill the mold and the vents were sealed in preparation for the encapsulation. 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 protecting the new CleanSpace, 20 mils, nylon-reinforced barrier, and seams were sealed. All posts were isolated and CleanSpace was anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy. To finish this job, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated. 

This homeowner noticed a nasty smell in their home and looked high and low for where it was coming from and finally opened the hatch to the crawlspace and it was clear that that was where it was emanating from.  He called a few companies but after researching their credentials and time in business, John's Waterproofing was an easy decision to get the work done right.

Our System Designer showed up at the home and it was clear from the start that he knew what he was doing. He measured the home and inspected the exterior to look for any signs on the outside that could be contributing to the problem then commenced doing a thorough inspection of the home. In the crawlspace, there was water intrusion on a regular basis and insulation falling with mold starting to grow on the posts and beams. That was where the nasty smell was coming from. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced Installers came out and cleared out all of the debris, old insulation, and damaged barrier.  A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

The owner of this home had rodent intrusion that was mostly attributed to the old, worn-out exterior crawlspace door having holes and gaps. In addition, there was water intrusion and a lot of debris. The Design Specialist came to the home and inspected both the exterior of the home and the crawlspace. The water intrusion problem was attributed to both; a faulty rain drain system and known high water tables in the area.  The designer recommended a PP&P or Pipe, Pump, and Plastic system, and Everlast door to replace the old worn-out door.

Our Install team came out a few weeks later and got right to work. They removed the old barrier, falling insulation, and other debris from the crawlspace.  A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the perforated pipe system. The old door was replaced by an Everlast door made of 1/2" PVC plastic that's practically indestructible and will not let rodents past!

A homeowner called John's Waterproofing and stated that he needed a new vapor barrier in his crawlspace. A System Designer was dispatched to the home to do a full inspection. He found it to be dry but clearly unattended for many years and indeed it needed a new barrier and the insulation needed to be removed and debris cleaned up. The specialist explained that we could do a cleanout and lay down the vapor barrier, this would be cheaper, but would need to be redone every few years, or we could do a full encapsulation which is backed by warranties that it will last much longer.

An experienced installation team arrived a few weeks later and got right to work on a full encapsulation. The crawlspace is first freed of all the debris including the old vapor barrier and dirty old fiberglass insulation. Because there was no indication of water intrusion, a drainage and sump pump system was unnecessary.  TerraBlock, a 1/2" flexible foam insulation with a vapor barrier on both sides is laid throughout the crawlspace. The vents are sealed and the posts are isolated. CleanSpace, a 20mil, the nylon-reinforced barrier is installed over the TerraBlock, the seams are sealed and it's run up and attached to the foundation walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier is added to keep the air dry and clean. Lastly, a 2.5" single-cell spray foam is applied to the foundation walls and over the sill plate and rim joist.  Now with the crawlspace effectively sealed off, the leaky ducting is now these homeowners' friend as it distributes conditioned air into and out of their crawlspace warming and cooling the floors and lowering utility bills. 

This home's basement would become humid and hot during the summer months, and mold was starting to appear on the boxes that the homeowner kept there. To help protect this space, the homeowners reached out to John's Waterproofing for a solution. Our design specialist found condensation on the basement walls, leading to excess moisture in the basement.  

Our crew arrived and began by installing a TripleSafe Sump pump in the low point of the space, we installed a WaterGaurd drainage system around the interior parameter which directed the groundwater to the new sump pump. This then allows all water to be safely diverted out and away from the home. To keep the wall condensation from damaging the home, BrightWall panels were installed to direct all moisture down to the WaterGuard. As a final piece of this home's solution, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the home's air dry and healthy. 

In some cases, water intrusion is pretty obvious, this homeowner knew their basement needed help because the foundation walls were wet to the touch when heavy rains occurred. No cracks could be found, but the foundation of a home is still a slightly porous material, and years of water pressure can lead to minuscule ways for water to creep in. To solve this issue before mold told a hold, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

To solve the issue of porous walls we began with a trench along with the interior parameter, where we installed a WaterGuard drainage system. The walls were then covered in our BrightWall basement panels. These waterproof panels will collect any moisture from the walls and safely divert it down to this new drainage system. From here water is graded down to a TripleSafe sump pump and then pushed safely out and away from the foundation of the home. As a final piece, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the basement of this home would remain dry and healthy. 

The homeowner was readying her home for sale and she had water in her crawlspace, however, the crawlspace was only 8-12" deep except for one 10' trench through most of the center. A System Designer was sent out to see what needed to be done and it was clear that the first move would involve digging out the crawlspace to accommodate the crew being able to install a system to bring the crawlspace up to code before we could waterproof. 

When the System Designer arrived she determined that a new opening would be needed on the backside of the crawlspace since a foundation wall traversed the crawlspace after an addition was added to the home, so she added that to the proposal along with new Everlast PVC doors to keep any rodents out.

The crew came out a few weeks later and began the tedious task of digging the dirt out of the crawlspace. Once accomplished, a perimeter perforated drain system was installed that led to a new Super Sump and discharged out into the property safely away from the house. Next, a 6mil vapor barrier was laid over the dirt floor and attached to just above the foundation footing. This home is now ready for sale!

The buyer's contingency on this home was to fix the crawlspace water problems or no sale so the broker contacted John's Waterproofing because she had experienced great work and service from us in the past and knew her seller would be eligible for our Real Estate Discount designed specifically for home sales. A System Designer was scheduled for a Saturday inspection because she knew that it was urgent to get the work accomplished before the close of escrow so everyone would be happy.

Our crew arrived a week later and got to work right away doing a PPP or Pipe, Pump, and Plastic job.  First, the old vapor barrier was removed and a 3" Perforated Pipe in a silt sock drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the interior of the crawlspace. This drain system terminated at the lowest point of the crawlspace at a newly installed SuperSump pump that discharged out into the backyard, well away from the home.  Finally, a new 6mil vapor barrier was laid over the dirt floor, overlapped a minimum of 18", and attached up the foundation wall to ensure that any water penetration from the wall for footing would be driven to the drainage pipe. The buyer was thrilled to get a great warranty with the new system!

Homeowners get interested in encapsulation for a variety of reasons. This homeowner was looking for more storage space in her home and she got very excited when she learned her large crawlspace could be transformed for more storage. Our System Designer came out and inspected the crawlspace and the homeowner was surprised to learn she also had water in her crawlspace and four posts that needed replacing. 

The crew started with a complete cleaning of the crawlspace including debris, old vapor barrier, and fiberglass insulation. Next, a 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed and terminated at a SuperSump Plus pump and discharge line was sent out to a rain drain. That done, they laid TerraBlock, a high-density foam product 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 all seams are sealed and then anchored to the foundation walls. The sagging wood posts were replaced with Smart Jacks, which are high-capacity adjustable steel piers designed to stop settling and even raise sagging floors. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and everything stored would be safe from mold/mildew. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated. 

If a home sees doorframes and window frames no longer sitting evenly, this is a sign of foundation issues. These homeowners noticed this issue in their home and discovered a wooden beam under their home was rotting. From high humidity and water heavy fiberglass insulation, water was being held up against their home, and the damage was taking hold. To combat this issue the homeowner began by having the old fiberglass safely removed, and a mold specialist clean up the mold. To stop mold from taking hold and to address the beam, John's Waterproofing was called in. 

Our crew began by removing the old vapor barrier and cleaning out the debris. We then installed a new wooden beam under the home to stabilize the home, and we installed four SmartJacks to reinforce the home where needed. We then installed a layer of TerraBlock over the dirt floor, this adds insulation. each wooden post was then isolated by our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which also was sealed throughout the crawlspace. This 20 Mil thick woven barrier encapsulates the space to help protect the home. The foundation walls then had spray foam to insulate and air seal the space. Each vent was sealed up and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure mold and rot would no longer plague this home. 

Over the course of time, new construction, major changes in landscaping, and dirt settlement can redirect waterways and alter the foundation of a home. This older home began to see some hairline cracks in its foundation walls. The homeowners noticed that they were damp to the touch and water began to creep through these cracks more as time went on. The homeowners wanted to stop this issue before it worsened and called in John's Waterproofing for help. 

The first thing our installation crew did was address these issues; Paraseal and TremDrain were used to seal the cracks and keep them from causing issues. We then installed WaterGaurd along with the interior parameter with BrightWall paneling to collect any moisture from the walls, divert it down to the drainage system, to a new TripleSafe sump pump, and then safely out and away from the home. 

The homeowners noticed an odd smell taking over their home, when they sniffed out the problem they discovered condensation along the foundation walls in the crawlspace, with some water mold beginning to grow in these spaces. This water mold was the reason for the smell, with over fifty percent of the air in your home drafting up from under your home, this was carrying the musty mold smell into the above home. For help, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin the space was cleaned out. We then installed a SmartSump pump to divert groundwater safely out and away from the home. A layer of CleanSpace was then installed thoroughly. It was inserted under each wooden pier, anchored along the joists of the walls, and secured in place. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space would remain dry and healthy. 

This home was recently purchased, it had passed inspection, but when the new homeowners officially moved in and they noticed an odd musty smell emanating from the crawlspace. Upon further inspection, the new homeowners noticed the old fiberglass was mushy in places and had mold growing inside of it. This is why fiberglass insulation is not made for under a home. 

To solve this issue we removed all of the old insulation and the 6 Mil vapor barrier that had been placed here. We then applied MoldX to a few places where signs of water mold had been starting to appear. We then installed a SmartSump pump to collect groundwater and push it out and away from the home. To add insulation made for crawlspaces we laid TerraBlock over the dirt floor and SilverGlo along the walls. The space was then encased in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil woven material is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully secured. We then replaced the vent covers and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to help keep this space dry and healthy. 

Although most jobs that we do follow a general build, sometimes we have to think outside of the box to fulfill a customer's particular need. In this case, the customer could not afford a full encapsulation but he was battling significant rodent problems, and his insulation needed to be replaced because it was saturated with rodent droppings and urine, falling onto the subfloor. To craft a personalized solution, this homeowner was fortunate to get one of our most experienced System Designers who was able to customize the job so that the homeowner got what he needed at a price he could afford.

The installation crew came to the job site and got to work cleaning the crawlspace of the filthy insulation, dirty vapor barrier, and other old construction debris. Next, they laid hardware cloth on the entire crawlspace floor to deter rodents from being able to enter. A layer of TerraBlock was laid to aid in insulation and the floor was lined with a 6mil vapor barrier, this barrier was then attached to the foundation walls. Lastly, the walls were sprayed with single-cell spray foam to bring the insulation up to code requirements. From our follow-up calls for our annual inspections, we know that the system works and the crawlspace is remaining rodent free.

This homeowner looked high and low for where the musty smells were coming from in his home and decided it was probably the crawlspace. He called a few companies but after researching their credentials and time in business, John's Waterproofing was an easy decision because he wanted the work done right. Our System Designer showed up at the home and inspected the crawlspace and the exterior to determine the source of the water issue. It was found that there was water intrusion on a regular basis and the old insulation was falling and mold was growing on the posts and beams. That was where the nasty smell was coming from. The designer suggested CleanSpace encapsulation as it was the ONLY way to get rid of the mold for good. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced Installers came out and got busy right away after laying down barriers to keep the home free of dirt and debris. Then all of the debris, old insulation, and barrier was removed.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

This homeowner was doing some maintenance around their home and discovered standing water in their crawlspace. They knew that standing water would lead to mold problems, so they decided to call up John's Waterproofing to find a long term solution that would protect their home and the air quality within their home.

To begin our crew removed the old vapor barrier from under the home, and cleaned out the general debris. We than began to encapsulate the space, providing the best protection for this home from water issues. We started by installing a drainage system along the interior parameter of the area. This consisted of a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sleeve which was graded down to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here water was safely diverted out and away from the homes foundation. Next a layer of TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor. We then installed out 20 mil vapor barrier. This is inserted under each wooden post to provide a thorough seal against water issues. it was also anchored along the rim joist and fully secured in place. We then changed our the vent covers, installed spray foam to finish insulating the space, and added in a SaniDry dehumidifier, keeping this home dry and healthy! 

This older home had some moisture evident on its basement walls. While it had a damp feeling during the rainy season, this was the first year that the homeowners could see the moisture build up on the foundation walls. When the homeowners saw us at a Home and Garden Show, they opted to have a free inspection and estimate to solve this water issue. 

To address the issues present we began by installing a drainage system. This included an installation of a WaterGuard drainage system. This is graded around the interior parameter to a new TripleSafe sump pump. From here the collected water is pushed out and away from the foundation of the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed our BrightWall panels along the wall. This non-organic material will ensure all water moisture from the walls is safely directed to the new drainage system so it can go out and away from the home. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy. 

This home's old vapor barrier would commonly get dirt and mud over it. This constant moisture would vaporize and enter the above fiberglass insulation, causing it to fall in stripes. While they had tried to replace the 6 mil vapor barrier and re-pin the insulation up, it was never a long-term solution. To find a better way to handle the crawlspace, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 
Our crew began by removing the old vapor barrier and insulation. Once it was cleaned up our crew began the installation. This started with a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest part of the crawlspace. This would collect the groundwater and push it out and away from the foundation of the home. We then laid down a layer of our crawlspace insulation; TerraBlock. We then used CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier. This is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully secured in place. The walls were then insulated with spray foam to keep this space dry and healthy. 

These homeowners had an older home with floors which were cold during the Winter months. The homeowners had a simple vapor barrier installed in their crawlspace and had pushed their old fiberglass insulation back up against the floorboards since it would droop down. Their energy bills were higher then they should have been, and so they called up John's Waterproofing to have a professional come and assess the crawlspace. 

To fix the homeowner's concerns we discovered that water was penetrating the crawlspace through porous foundation walls, so it would end up on top of the old vapor barrier, vaporize, and weigh down the old insulation. The old insulation was water damaged and was no longer providing proper heat retention to the home, rising the energy bills. We began by cutting the crawlspace entryway larger, and installed a new EverLast access well and Everlast doorway. We then removed the old insulation and vapor barrier. To keep water moving away from the crawlspace we installed a SuperSump pump with an UltraSump back up. The dirt floor was then insulated with TerraBlock, and encased with our woven 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls and secured in place. The walls were then insulated with Spray Foam and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to help keep this space dry and healthy. 

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because bad smells were coming up from his crawlspace and he suspected a mold problem. Our System Designer showed up at the home and after a professional introduction, he got to work right away.  He measured the home and inspected the exterior to look for any signs on the outside that could be contributing to the problem. He found the downspouts in good shape and operating as they should so next he inspected the crawlspace where he did a thorough inspection. Our specialist found a water intrusion that had led to insulation falling and mold starting to grow on the wooden posts and beams. That was where the nasty smell was coming from. The designer suggested CleanSpace encapsulation as it was the ONLY way to get rid of the mold for good. 

A few weeks later our experienced installers came out and removed all of the debris, old fiberglass insulation, and the damaged vapor barrier.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and diverts all groundwater to a newly installed TripleSafe sump system. The crew then laid down TerraBlock and vents were sealed and all wooden posts isolated. A 20 Mil CleanSpace vapor barrier was then installed, seams were sealed up, and it was run up the walls, fastening under the rim joist. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the humidity was controlled, preventing mold growth and keeping the homes air fresh and healthy. Finally, spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in properly insulating the space.

A downspout has a lot of water pass through it, and when that water isn't properly addressed, it can lead to issues. This home had water pooling around the downspouts after it rained, and the yard became a squishy mess, causing mud to overtake their grass. The homeowners wanted a solution that would protect their yard and home, so they called up John's Waterproofing. 

Our installation crew extended the three downspouts on the home into the ground. From here we installed a drainage system that took this water and graded it all safely out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. The homeowners were so thrilled with the difference this made, that they called us after the first heavy rain hit to let us know that the system was working properly and no excess water was around their home!

Just prior to buying this home, the previous owner had hired John's Waterproofing to take care of their wet crawlspace and make the minimum necessary repairs to bring it up to code. A year later while performing an annual service for the new owner, the Service Technician noticed that the old fiberglass insulation was failing and that mold was beginning to grow on the wood surfaces. He took photos to show the homeowner and shared how CleanSpace encapsulation could fix the problem and help clean the air in her home while lowering utility bills. The new homeowner was really interested, she liked all the benefits of encapsulation, including the idea of cleaner air as she suffered from allergies. 

Some weeks later one of our Installation crews came out to do the work. They removed all the dirty, falling insulation and the vapor barrier. John's Waterproofing had previously installed a perforated pipe drainage system and SuperSump Pump with a discharge line which was all in good shape. They then laid TerraBlock, a high-density foam barrier that aids in insulation and protecting the CleanSpace vapor barrier, over the entire dirt floor. After isolating all the posts with CleanSpace fabric, they proceeded to cover the crawlspace floor with our CleanSpace, a 20mil nylon reinforced,  micro bacterial fabric vapor barrier over the TerraBlock and up the foundation walls, securing it just under the rim joist. All the seams were sealed with special CleanSpace heavy-duty tape. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to keep the moisture down to a level where mold couldn't survive and the air could be continuously filtered. The vents were all sealed and then a single cell Spray Foam was applied to the foundation walls to complete the isolation of the space as well as insulate the crawlspace to the R factor as required per code. The homeowner was thrilled with the finished product and has even called to inform us her allergies seem to have lessoned and she was thrilled!

This homeowner called up John's Waterproofing because they had water issues under their home. The space did have a sump pump and drainage system installed by another company, however it was unable to keep up with the water issue and flooded. The homeowners couldn't get help from the original installers, so they looked elsewhere for the solution. 

To help with the issue our installers began by clearing out the water. We then removed the old sump pump and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This had a new drainage system installed so we could add on our warranty for the system. We then laid down a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help the space be dry and healthy. 

A customer stopped by our booth at a Home and Garden Show and was amazed at the pictures of our crawlspace encapsulation. He, his wife, and most of their kids all suffered from allergies and the thought of relieving everyone of many of their suffering was very appealing. The person running the booth was very knowledgeable about the system so she was able to answer all of his questions except "how much will it cost". She politely explained that it was impossible to help him with that but we offer a free inspection and can then put together a proposal. He signed up to get a call from our office and grabbed several brochures to take home to study. It was discovered, that while the home didn't have a problem with water in the crawlspace the space suffered from high humidity which had allowed mold to take hold.

When the crew arrived, the first thing they did was remove all the debris, the old vapor barrier and the fiberglass insulation. 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 it 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 and the air clean and free of mold and dust mites. Both are real problems for everyone and can present issues to those that suffer from allergies. Some months later this customer wrote a glowing review for us and emphasized how much the family's allergies had abated.

This basement had a sump pump and drainage system installed from the beginning. However, the homeowners had moisture creeping into the space along the wooden beams connecting to the poured foundation. The homeowners were upset that the company that installed their system didn't address this problem. To look for a full solution, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

Our installers arrived and saw that the drainage system and sump pump were still working properly. We didn't need to change this, so we crafted a solution to finish up the waterproofing. To do this we air sealed along the rim joists, and upgraded the basement windows with new window wells to keep water out. We then added in a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the moisture levels stay controlled.

This crawlspace entryway was overcome by the rain and the mud that slides down into this space. The homeowners could no longer see under the home, and knew this couldn't be good for the home's wooden aspects. To address this issue the they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To solve the intrusion, our installation crew began by removing the excess mud from the entryway. We then completed a dig out throughout the space to have it up to code. We then replaced the old entryway with a Turtl entrance to ensure it would be safe and keep the crawlspace dry. We then added in a drainage pipe system along the interior parameter which collects the groundwater and grades it to a SuperSump pump and then out and away from the home. We then laid down a six Mil vapor barrier. The homeowners are thrilled that their crawlspace will be easy to check and they don't need to worry about mud and water damaging under the house. 

These homeowners had a water problem in their crawlspace. After looking online they decided to build their own sump pump to try to fix the issue at hand. However, it was not installed properly. Firstly it was not installed in the lowest point of the space so it couldn't collect the ground water. It also was not set up with a back flow valve and would flood trying to handle the water intrusion. Looking for an actual solution, they called up John's Waterproofing for professional help. 

Our crew arrived and began by taking the homemade sump pump out of the space. We then installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock to collect the groundwater. This would collect the water and grade it to the lowest point of the crawlspace where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water was diverted out and away from the home's foundation. With the water properly diverted we installed a six Mil vapor barrier throughout the space. 

Oftentimes a crawlspace is out of sight and out of mind. These homeowners knew their crawlspace was damp and messy, but they didn't know this didn't need to be so. That is until they saw out booth at a home show. Here they learned about our crawlspace encapsulation. We explained how this prevents mold, and improves the homes air quality, while also leaving the space bright and healthy. They were set up for a free inspection and estimate so they could have a dry and healthy home. 

Our installation crews arrived and began by removing the debris from under the home. Once the space was cleaned out we began by installing a SmartSump pump to collect the ground water and send it out and away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation along the floor to properly insulate this space with our SilverGlo insulation panels along the foundation walls. We then used our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed into place. Lastly we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the homes air is clean. 

A customer emailed us stating "I was hoping to get a quote on crawlspace winterization and/or encapsulation. Our house is just drafty and the insulation underneath could be better". We were happy to oblige and scheduled them for a visit with one of our System Designers. She came out and did a full examination of the situation and took photos and measurements. Then she sat down with the customer and showed her what was going on, how John's Waterproofing could solve the problem, and worked out a proposal that the customer accepted.

When the crew arrived they removed all the debris, old vapor barrier, and dirty fiberglass insulation that was falling down everywhere and even missing completely in some places. A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point. The TripleSafe has 3 pumps; A primary pump, a backup pump when the water is too great for a single pump and an UltraSump battery backup to ensure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. Next, TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor to aid insulation and protect the new barrier from punctures.  All the vents were sealed and the posts isolated. The 20mil nylon-reinforced CleanSpace barrier was installed, seams were sealed, run up the walls, and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to make sure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home and crawlspace. Finally, a single cell spray foam was applied to the rim joist and foundation walls to bring the insulation to the required R factor for insulating the space. Now the homeowner has a dry and clean crawlspace and could look forward to a warmer home with reduced utility bills. 

This basement was used for storage, and the homeowners weren't aware of the moisture until they noticed water creeping out from under some of the shelving against the wall. When the self was moved, water stains were along the walls, showing that moisture had been coming in for a while, layering up the mineral stains. To figure out this water problem, they called upon John's Waterproofing to keep their home healthy. 

Our installation crew arrived and began by installing a WaterGuard drainage system. This is installed along the interior parameter. The walls were covered with BrightWall paneling, which is easy to clean and waterproof. This will direct all wall moisture down the walls safely to the WaterGuard system. The drainage system then grades the water to a TripleSafe sump pump. From this point, water is pushed out and away from the home to be discharged. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air dry. 

A simple vapor barrier can be a good thing for waterproofing your crawlspace. However, without adding additional pieces to this solution, then it won't be able to fully address the water problem at hand. This homeowner had a 6 Mil vapor barrier installed in their crawlspace, but because of the level of water here, water would rise above the vapor barrier and creep onto the barrier where it would pool and condensate into the space. The homeowners had a feeling that this could be problematic, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing to inspect the space and offer up a real solution for their crawlspace. 

Our crew began by removing the old vapor barrier and general debris that was under the home. We then installed a perforated pipe system in a silt sock along the interior parameter. This will collect the groundwater in this space and grade it to a UltraSump pump. From here water is sent out and away from the foundation. We then applied Mold X2 as needed since the condensation that was present before had caused a few mold spores to take ahold on the wooden beams. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier in the space. With the new drainage system water will not be able to pool on the old barrier, keeping this home better prepared for water issues. 

A hefty stream ran through this home's crawlspace when it rained. The homeowners wanted a solution to the problem for fear it might undermine the foundation of their home. The homeowners imagined that they could install an 18-inch galvanized pipe where the water was entering and lead it to the opposite side of the home to discharge down the hill, but they wanted to discuss this with professionals before they began. A system designer came out from John's Waterproofing to take photos, measurements, and showed the homeowners what John's could do for a permanent solution to their water issues. 

The crew came out and the first order of business was to divert the water with substantial french drains. This wouldn't stop the water but would slow it greatly. Next, a 3" perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the crawlspace and terminated at a TripleSafe sump system. A layer of TerraBlock foam insulation was laid throughout the crawlspace. CleanSpace, a 20mil nylon reinforced vapor barrier was laid over the TerraBlock and all the seams were sealed, it was used to isolate all the posts and brought up and attached to the foundation walls just under the rim joist. All the vents were sealed with Everlast covers and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed. The final touch was 3" closed cell spray foam was applied to the foundation wall to bring the space to insulation code requirements.

Certain things have to be brought up to code for a home to pass inspection for a real estate transaction and one of the most frequent problems is when the crawlspace is in disrepair and/or wet. In this case, it was both wet and the old vapor barrier was in poor condition. Our Real Estate Specialist was sent to inspect and write a proposal that included our Real Estate discount pricing.

A week later our System installers were dispersed to do the work. The old barrier, hanging insulation, and all other debris were removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. A new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the newly installed drain system. 

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because bad smells were coming from his crawlspace and his family was suffering from breathing problems.

Our System Designer showed up at the home and after introducing himself, he got to work right away.  He measured the home and inspected the exterior to look for any signs on the outside that could be contributing to the problem. He found the downspouts in good shape and operating as they should so next was to dive into the crawlspace. The photos showed that there was water intrusion on a regular basis and insulation was falling and mold starting to grow along the posts and beams. That was where the smells and likely the health issues were coming from. The designer suggested CleanSpace encapsulation as it was the ONLY way to get rid of the mold for good.

A few weeks later our experienced Installers came out. All of the debris, old insulation and vapor barrier was removed. MoldX2 cleaner was applied to the wood where mold could be seen and MoldX2 Botanical, an all-natural, thyme-based formula that is antimicrobial, fungicide, cleaner and deodorizer was applied. Next, a perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter, and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point. TerraBlock, a flexible foam barrier was laid on the dirt floor and the vents were sealed and posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed, seams were sealed, and it was run up the walls where it was secured in place. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Lastly, 3" of a single-cell spray foam was applied to the foundation wall to fully insulate the space.

Musty smells in the home can be problematic. The homeowners were sniffing around their home to identify the source of the issue, and found the smell was strongest near the duct systems which ran through the crawlspace. The system was working, so they knew the system wasn't faulty. They ended up going under the home and found the smell was mold growing in the old fiberglass insulation that was stuffed against the floorboards and wrapped around the duct systems. The insulation had mold growing, and it was falling in pieces down to the dirt floor. After looking online they called up John's Waterproofing for help. Our design specialist was able to determine that their main issue was high humidity in the space and condensation. 

To address this water issue, our crew began by removing the old insulation and cleaning out the debris from this space. Once it was cleared out our crew began by installing a SuperSump pump in the lowest spot of the space. This collects the groundwater and sends it out and away from the home. Next, TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor. We then used CleanSpace to isolate each wooden post, anchored along the walls and sealed into place with our special four inch wide waterproof tape. The vents were then sealed up and spray foam was applied along the foundation walls to aid in insulating the space. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry. The smell went away and the homeowners were very happy!

A homeowner wanted to make sure his home was up to code as he prepared to list it for sale so it would pass inspection. One of the most frequent problems with real estate inspections is when the crawlspace is in disrepair and/or wet. In this case, it was both; wet and the vapor barrier was in poor condition, not covering the entire crawlspace.  Our Real Estate Specialist was sent to inspect and write a proposal that included Real Estate discount pricing.

Shortly after, our installers were dispersed to do the work.  The old barrier, hanging insulation, and all other debris were removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump pump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the drainage system. The new owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty that came with the work!

This crawlspace had a slight grade, and water would pool in the lowest point of the space. While they had laid down a store bought plastic barrier to try to stop this issue, the water would end up on top of the barrier whenever heavy rains came through the area. The homeowners looked online and found sump pumps were the preferred solution for heavy water problems. They were nervous to install this on their own, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing to ensure the work was done right the first time around. 

Our installation crew arrived and began by removing the old plastic sheeting and general debris. Once the space was cleaned up, a drainage system was installed; this consisted of a perforated pipe in a silt sock inserted in the dirt ground around the interior parameter. This all graded to a newly installed UltraSump pump and the water was sent out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. As a final piece we laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is a 20 Mil woven material that is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place. 

This crawlspace had damp dirt throughout the space. On top of this, the space would suffer high humidity in the summertime, and this had led to the old fiberglass becoming water heavy and falling into pieces. The homeowners were ready for a solution to protect their home, and called up John's Waterproofing. Our system designer came out to perform a free inspection, we checked the exterior of the home as well as in the crawlspace to ensure they identified the issue and solved the problem thoroughly. 

To fix the space up, the homeowner opted for our full crawlspace encapsulation. We began by removing the old insulation and debris from under the home. We then installed a SuperSump pump in the low spot of the home. Water would naturally grade to this, where it would then by safely pumped out and away from the foundation. Our installers then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. Cleanspace was then installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place. We then sealed up the vents and added in spray foam along the foundation walls. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space fully dry.

This old building had a basement with moisture on the foundation walls. The owners thought it was normal for basements to have moisture and just cleaned up mold spores as they showed up. And while this is normal, it is not healthy, and should not be the standard. After seeing us as a home show they wanted to have their basement inspected and waterproofed. 

To begin, our crew began by digging a trench along the interior parameter. Here they laid down WaterGuard in a bed of gravel. The walls were then covered in BrightWall panels. This will divert moisture safely down the wall to the drain system. This drainage system naturally grades to a TripleSafe sump pump which then pushes water out and away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this place is dry.

This home had some large landscaping changes recently, and when they looked in their basement, they noticed a once moist wall, now had a full leak occurring. While no cracks were present, the added water pressure was pushing onto the porous walls and had caused a bigger issue. Worried about the affects this could have on the home, they called up John's Waterproofing for help in finding a solution. 

To address this we began by installing a drainage system in the basement. This was a WaterGuard system which is installed in the ground of the basement. This system has Brightwall paneling hooked into it which covers the walls to ensure all moisture moves down safely to be graded to a TripleSafe sump pump and pushed out and away from the home. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this air dry.

A homeowner called John's Waterproofing with a request for a new 6 mil vapor barrier. Upon inspection, our design specialist discovered extensive water damage. The homes water level was filling the space, flooding up above the wooden posts levels, and the wood was beginning to rot away. Posts are critical to the support of the home and he was fortunate that the damage was not so severe that the posts needed replacing because that would have been very costly. However, the problem needed to be dealt with right away to prevent further damage. He agreed to a full encapsulation, complete with a comprehensive water control system to protect their home. 

The crew arrived and they removed all of the old vapor barrier, as well as the old, dirty fiberglass insulation and other 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 away from the home. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace while protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This vapor barrier is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the crawlspace humidity was controlled and the home stays dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, closed cell Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated to industry standards. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay healthy, comfortable, lowers utility bills, and increases the value of the home.

Homeowner had their yard flooding regularly when heavy rains came through. With a high water table nearby, their homes yard was the common pooling area, and the downspouts pooling around the home, didn't help. To keep from damaging the yard, the homeowners had some wooden platforms they would place in their yard when heavy rains were in the forecast.  The homeowners knew their should be a better way, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing. To begin helping out crew extended the downspouts down into the ground. These connect to a pipe system that will collect water and naturally grade the water away from the home. This system will take water almost one hundred and fifty feet away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We also installed a SuperSump under the home in the crawlspace which send groundwater to the drain system. We then installed a 6 Mil vapor barrier. The homeowners called us after the first rain came through, and they were so excited to see their yard was not flooding! 

The family that was looking to purchase this home had an inspection performed and it was discovered that the crawlspace was musty and in disrepair. To have the home pass an inspection, the family needed to have this space waterproofed. The sellers agreed to have the space waterproofed with John's realty waterproofing; Pipe, Pump, and Plastic. 

The space was fully cleaned out, and our installation crew then installed a full interior drainage system. This is a perforated pipe in a silt sock set into a bed of gravel. This is designed to naturally grade the collected water to a newly installed SuperSump pump. From here water is sent safely out and away from the home. We laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier and this home was ready for it's new owners! 

A homeowner called us, he was sure he needed a new vapor barrier. He could tell there was an odd odor which began under the home, and knew this couldn't be good for their health. A System Designer confirmed that he, indeed, needed to clean up the crawlspace and get a new vapor barrier but he needed more than that. They went over the photos that the System Designer took and he explained that the falling insulation was a big problem because it was no longer offering any insulation to the home, and was attracting critters who like to use fiberglass for bedding. He educated the homeowner on the benefits of our encapsulation system, which includes but is not limited to creating clean air for the crawlspace and subsequently for his home, reducing utility bills, and increasing the value of his home. 

The installation crew arrived later that month and cleared the crawlspace of all the old dirty fiberglass insulation, the old barrier and other assorted debris to prepare for the encapsulation. The crawlspace showed no evidence of water intrusion so a drain/sump system was unnecessary. The crew laid TerraBlock, a dense, flexible foam barrier that would be the first stage in insulation. This was covered with our CleanSpace vapor barrier which is a 20 mil, polyester-woven barrier. All the seams were sealed and it was secured to the foundation walls just below the rim joist. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed and all the vents were sealed. A closed-cell spray foam was applied to the foundation walls and rim joist to completely seal the crawlspace and complete the encapsulation. 

This was a call from a current customer whose basement we had waterproofed the previous year. During her annual maintenance, she complained that her basement seemed heavy with moisture. The maintenance technician took a reading with his moisture meter and, indeed, it was a little high. It was a fairly small basement so he recommended that she invest in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. She decided it was the right thing to do so our tech installed the dehumidifier for her. A quality dehumidifier like the SaniDry is powerful enough to pull and push the air throughout the home to keep it dry and healthy.

We were called to a cute older home to check out the crawlspace. The System Designer crawled under the home and was immediately alarmed by the condition and hoped the old house wouldn't fall on her! There was a broken beam and the supports were made from assorted sizes and shapes of wood blocks, pieces of telephone poles and logs. It was apparent by the water lines that the crawlspace flooded at times and there was no vapor barrier present. She took several photos and followed that with a walk around the foundation to both check for reasons for the flooding and to measure so she could offer the owner a qualified proposal. He was taken aback by the photos and accepted the proposal anxious to get the work done.

The installation crew arrived and got right to work. The crawlspace was cleared of debris and a partial dig-out was performed to bring the crawlspace to the minimum 18" in height per code. The makeshift posts were replaced with John Jacks on proper pier blocks and they supported the new beam that we installed. A perforated pipe was laid in a trench that followed the perimeter of the crawlspace and terminated at a SuperSump pump with a discharge line that was sent below grade, well out to the back of the property, and released via a LawnScape outlet. A 6 mil vapor barrier was laid on the dirt floor and overlapped generously before being attached to the foundation walls. The final touch was an EverLast access well and door. It was nice to know the home was safe and to code.

A homeowner called in because they were selling their home and according to the inspection report, their sump pump had been installed unprofessionally, lacked a backflow valve, and was without a dedicated electrical outlet and the crawlspace needed cleaning up. A System Designer was sent to the home to help the homeowner with a solution. After a careful inspection, and taking several photos and measurements, he sat with the homeowner to give them an accurate proposal to correct the problems. Anxious to get it done to save their sale, the homeowners quickly agreed to the work and were happy to learn that we could arrange payment from the proceeds of escrow.

The installation crew arrived and go to work on the job. They cleared the crawlspace of the old vapor barrier, falling fiberglass insulation and debris, including the old sump. They dug a trench around the perimeter of the crawlspace and terminated it at the low spot where they installed a SuperSump and properly discharge it into the home's rain drain system. They laid a 3" perforated drain pipe in a silt sock in the trench to gather the water and send it to the sump pump. They laid a 6mil vapor barrier on the dirt floor and generously overlapped it before attaching it securely to the foundation walls. They repaired two of the vent screens to help the space remain dry and healthy.

A vapor barrier doesn't work well if water can get on top of it, this is why a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier generally needs to be replaced every few years. Water can push these around, critters can chew through them, and they aren't sealed into place. This home was seeing water on top of its simple 6 Mil vapor barrier every couple of years and was ready for a solution that could last longer. To address the crawlspace, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To fix this, our installation crew arrived and began by removing the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home. In the lowest spot we then installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect the ground water and send it safely out and away from the homes foundation. Next we installed CleanSpace. This is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier. It is installed under each wooden pier, anchored along the rim joists, and fully sealed in place using a special four inch wide tape. The space was then air sealed with spray foam, and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. This space is now protected! 

While walking through a home show, these homeowners remembered their crawlspace hadn't been checked since they had moved in, roughly ten years prior. They knew a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier was installed, but they also knew these should be replaced periodically. They decided to sign up for a free inspection and estimate to have their home cared for. Upon inspection, our design specialist found mud encased on the old vapor barrier, showing that water or condensation had been getting into the crawlspace still. 

To fix up the space our installation crew arrived and began by removing the old vapor barrier and debris. Once the space was cleared out we installed a SmartSump in the lowest point of the crawlspace. This has a full interior perimeter pipe system that collects ground water and grades it to the pump to be diverted safely away from the homes foundation. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, this runs up the wall and overlaps to help keep water from overcoming the barrier. While this vapor barrier will still need to be replaced in a few years, this will hold up better with the new drainage system installed.  

This homes tall crawlspace had water coming into it and the homeowners were concerned. They used the space for general storage items, and wanted to know that mold wouldn't be a threat. They had heard about crawlspace encapsulation, so after researching it further, they reached out to John's Waterproofing to learn more and receive a personalized quote. After our design specialist performed a full inspection, the homeowners were ready to move forward to keep their home dry and healthy. 

To begin our installation crew arrived and installed a new exterior EverLast entryway, before cleaning out the crawlspace. Once cleared out we laid down a DrainMatt to help divert groundwater to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace. We then insulated the space with TerraBlock. The entire space was then encased with CleanSpace. This was inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed into place. Next each vent was sealed up and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. As a final piece we insulated the space with Spray Foam. This space is now all set for storage and the homeowners no longer need to stress about the health under their home. 

This homeowners unfinished basement had a water intrusion and the damp smell was becoming worse with the rainy season. To address this issue, they searched online and found John's Waterproofing. After a quick call, they were set up for a system designer to come out and perform a free inspection. From our inspection we found water creeping through the walls, primarily on the hillside of the homes basement, where water pressure was being exerted as it came down the hill. 

To solve the issue our installation crew began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter, here we installed our WaterGuard drainage system in a bed of gravel. this naturally grades to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is sent out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We also installed CleanSpace along the foundation walls, this will ensure any water moisture along the walls is diverted safely down the walls and into the drain system, keeping the basement dry and healthy. 

This homes old fiberglass insulation had absorbed water into it due to the high humidity content in the crawlspace. This water was now resting up against the wooden beams of the foundation, as well as soaking into the wooden posts. The homeowners were noticing some doors in their home sticking due to the foundation shift, and were ready to have their home be healthy once more. 

To begin our crew removed all of the old insulation and debris from under the home. We could now see exactly how many beams were showing mold and even found one was rotting from the water content. We had to replace one full beam, and we replaced three wooden posts with our SmartJacks. These were able to re-stabilize the home. We then applied Mold X2 as needed to kill off any mold. Next we insulated the space with TerraBlock along the dirt floor. CleanSpace was then brought in, and installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls and fully sealed into place. We then applied spray foam along the foundation walls to help this homes energy bills go down. Each vent was then sealed up, and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep this home dry and healthy. 

Basements are often used for storage, and storage items can mold and often be damaged by water if a water issue is present. This homeowner found water mold starting to form on some of the items in their basement. The wanted to protect their storage items, and called upon John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our installation crew arrived and began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter of the space. Here we installed out WaterGuard drain system in a bed of gravel. The walls were then covered in BrightWall paneling. This will direct any moisture or water down into the new drainage system. The water is then directed to a new TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is sent out and away from the foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then air sealed the basement and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy. 

This old house was settling, and the wooden posts in the crawlspace were sitting in the dirt and mud, causing the wood to begin to rot. The home had a few sports where the floor was warping from this issue. They had placed some boards under the home to try to add stability, but those ended up wet as well. They knew they would need a real solution to protect their home. 
After inspection we found four posts rotting, there were removed with the debris under the home. In their place we installed SmartJacks. These can adjust as the home settles and are made to last, no worries about water issues. To help with the warped flooring, we installed three other SmartJacks as needed. Once the home was stabilized we installed a drainage system which grades the water to a SmartSump in the low spot of the crawlspace. From here water is sent safely out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help this home stay protected. 

Daylight basements can be a wonderful opportunity to add a finished space to your home.  These new homeowners saw their new basement as a huge opportunity. After doing research they learned that Waterproofing before finishing was the best option to protect their investment. After asking their friend in home construction they were sent to John's Waterproofing. 

To prepare the home our crew began by installing a perimeter drainage system.  This meant digging a trench along the interior and installing WaterGuard in a bed of gravel.  This will collect water and grade it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, which then pushed the water out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. The basement walls were then insulated and waterproofed with ThermalDry radiant wall barrier. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier, this home will now be ready to be finished and utilized by the new homeowners when they are ready.  

Water naturally grades down hills, and for homes sitting on the hillside, this causes some water issues under the home. This home's crawl space had water running under it, and the homeowners knew from experience that a simple 6 mil vapor barrier wasn't enough to keep their home dry and healthy. After doing some research, they called up John's Waterproofing for help. We did a full inspection and then crafted a solution for their home. 

To begin, our crew removed the old vapor barrier and debris. We then dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the space where we installed a three inch perforated pipe. This will collect groundwater and send it along to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump in the low spot, and then pushes water out and away from the foundation. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock. Over this we installed CleanSpace. This is a 20 mil woven vapor barrier that is inserted under each wooden post, attached the walls and secured in place. We then insulated the walls with spray foam. Each vent was sealed up and we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home truly dry and healthy. 

The homeowner called up because their crawl space needed a new vapor barrier. Their last one had been installed about five years ago and now had a good layer of dust on it's top and some holes had been chewed through in a few places. Critters must have been entering through the vent screens, as chew marks were found around damaged portions of the screens. To help them out we removed the old vapor barrier and debris. We then replaced the damaged screens and laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. It's edges were overlapped and the barrier was run up the foundation walls. We will check this annually to help keep it in tip-top shape, and be replaced when needed. 

This homes crawlspace didn't have any major issues, but their vapor barrier did get chewed on and there was evidence that there were some unwanted house guests living under the home. The homeowners wanted to get the critters out and deter them from returning so their home could stay healthy. After researching online, they decided to get a quote for an encapsulation. 

Our crew arrived and began by removing the damaged vapor barrier and debris. We then sealed up the vent covers and brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven material is inserted under each wooden post, attached to the wall along the rim joist, and sealed into place. We then air sealed and installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier. This sets the home up to remain dry and healthy, and deter critters from getting into this crawlspace again! 

This couple had seen our booth at a home show. This made them realize that they hadn't paid attention to their crawlspace since they purchased the home years and years prior. They decided to take us up on our free inspection, and were scheduled. Upon inspection we found water pooling in a few spots in the crawlspace, and some mold taking hold on the wooden posts that had mud up around it with evidence of critters throughout the space. 

To address the homes needs, we started by clearing out the crawlspace of its old vapor barrier and debris. We then applied Mold X2 as needed. Next a SmartSump was installed in the lowest spot of the crawlspace, this will collect water and send it out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then encased the area with CleanSpace, installed under each wooden post, attached along the rim joists, and sealed into place with a special four inch wide waterproof tape. We then air sealed the space and sealed up the vents with new vent covers. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

These homeowners called us up, they had smelled something damp, and looked through the crawlspace entrance in their closet. They found water flooding the crawlspace. They needed help, and turned to John's. After a thorough inspection we talked through the options for their home, and crafted a solution to suit the homes needs and their budget. 

We began by doing a dry out. This involved some temporary pumps and fans. Once the space was dry we removed the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home. We were then able to inspect each wooden post, and upon finding one to be rotting beyond repair, replaced it with a SmartJack. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter, here we installed a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock. This collects ground water, sending it along the a TripleSafe Sump pump which pushes all water away from the foundation. Next we laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the wall to best protect the space. The 6 mil will need to be replaced down the road, or upgraded depending on what the homeowners want later. 

A damp crawlspace can be worrisome, these homeowners noticed their crawlspace was emitting an off odor and the dirt floor was damp and squishy. Knowing this could cause long term damage to their health and home, they called up John's Waterproofing due to our longevity in the industry. They scheduled to have a full inspection, and afterwards our design specialist worked with them to craft a solution that would address their homes needs. 

To begin our installation crew removed the debris from under the home. We then applied some Mold X2 along some of the foundations wooden beams that were sporting some mold spores. We then installed a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect the groundwater and grade it along to a SmartSump pump. From here collected water is sent well away from the homes foundation. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor and sealed up the vents. Next came in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven barrier is inserted under each wooden post, anchored to the walls, and sealed into place. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and air sealed the space to keep the crawlspace, home, and families health, healthy. 

The homeowners here checked out their crawlspace. They found a thick layer of dust and dirt on the wooden post footings, and mud was found on top of their simple 6 Mil vapor barrier. They knew these issues could lead to big problems for their home, so they called up John's Waterproofing for some help. After a full inspection we worked with them to form a solution. 

The first part of this job would be sealing up the space. The exterior entrance was tight and only had a piece of plywood to cover. We cut the concrete bigger so we could bring in supplies and installed an EverLast well and door. We then sealed up the vents. We then pulled out the old vapor barrier, the old fiberglass insulation and debris from under the home. We then installed a SuperSump with an UltraSump backup in the lowest spot. This will collect the groundwater and send it out and away from the home. TerraBlock insulation was then laid over the dirt floor and encased in CleanSpace. This is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the rim joist, and taped into place with a special four inch wide waterproof tape. We then insulated the foundation walls with Spray Foam and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy! 

This home had high energy costs. The homeowners at first thought energy costs must just be going up all around, however, upon speaking to neighbors, they noted theirs was the odd one out. They were pointed to John's Waterproofing for a solution that would lower their energy bills with a crawlspace encapsulation. A design specialist went out and performed a full inspection, they then sat down the homeowners and discussed options. In the end the homeowners chose to have a crawlspace encapsulation to protect their home from water damage, and give them insulation made to last. 

To begin working our crew pulled out the severely damaged fiberglass out of the space. We then changed the exterior entrance to an EverLast Door, this will not rot or mold, and will stand the test of time. We then installed a SuperSump Plus in the low spot of the crawlspace. This will collect groundwater and send it away from the home. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock which is then covered with CleanSpace. This goes under each post, attached to the wall and is sealed into place. The vent covers were then sealed and spray foam insulation was applied to the foundation walls. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The homeowners were thrilled to see their energy bills go down, and know that in the long run, this will save them money. 

A damp crawlspace can lead to many issues which can cause damage to your home and air quality within the home. This homeowners family had indoor allergies and they had been getting worse over the years. They searched online and found a damp crawlspace can damage air quality. They opted to call up John's Waterproofing to see what was going on in their home and what they could do. We sent out a design specialist whop did a full inspection indoors and outdoors. They then suggested encapsulation, as mold spores were in their crawlspace and the damp environment was troublesome. 

Eager to have clean air in their living space, they opted to have a full encapsulation. We began by installing a perforated pipe system to collect groundwater which grades water to a newly installed SmartSump to push water out from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We applied Mold X2 as needed and moved along. We then insulated the floor with TerraBlock, and encased the space with CleanSpace. The walls were then insulated with Spray Foam, the vents sealed up, and a SaniDry dehumidifier to help the air be clean. The homeowners also decided to get an Aspen air purifier and have since reported that the indoor allergy's are doing much better! 

As a home aims to keep a comfortable temperature, proper insulation becomes so important. Retaining that heat or cold, depends on the home being energy efficient. One way to lower home energy costs is to have your crawlspace properly insulated. Fiberglass is not made for a crawlspace, and retains moisture, droops with water weights and locks water against the wooden beams in your home, leading to rot and mold. To help this home become more energy efficient, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing for a real solution; encapsulation. 

To begin helping, we pulled out the homes old fiberglass insulation, it was droopy and had a nasty musty odor. We then pulled out the debris from the space. We then installed a SmartDrain in the lowest spot of the crawlspace to collect groundwater and send it out and away from the home. Next we laid down TerraBlock to insulate the dirt floor. CleanSpace is then inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place. We sealed up all of the vents, brought in a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and applied spray foam insulation on the foundation walls. This home will now be dry and healthy, and the homeowners will enjoy lower energy costs! 

This homes crawlspace had old fiberglass insulation that was damp and growing mold spores. The homeowner noticed this issue after they had a pipe burst. Once the insulation was being removed they found more and more mold growing on the underside of their home, spreading further than the pipe issue. While a plumber had address the pipe already, they knew the insulation and mold spores would need to be addressed as well. They called up John's Waterproofing. We had a crew remove the old and damaged insulation. We then applied Mold X2 as needed throughout the space. We then pulled out the old vapor barrier and installed a new 6 Mil barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the walls. We highly recommended the homeowner does a full encapsulation, without sealing the space off, water vapors will come back into the space. The homeowners were not ready for this step at this time though. 

There were critters in this crawlspace. They had chewed on the crawlspaces exterior entrance, through some of the mesh vent covers, and made a mess of the area. The homeowners had already had the critters evicted, but they now faced the problem of being able to keep them from coming back. Their pest control company highly recommended an encapsulation system to really deter critters by making the crawlspace an unwelcome environment, as well as by making it just really difficult for them to get into anyways. After looking up crawlspace encapsulation online, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin working we cleared the space of the general debris. Since no major water issues affected the home, we didn't need to worry much on the water front, but did install a SmartSump in the low spot to ensure water was gathered and dispelled away from the home anyways. The exterior entrance was then upgraded to an EverLast doorway to keep critters from chewing through in the future. Each vent was then fully sealed. The dirt floor was insulated with TerraBlock. CleanSpace was then brought in, installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed into place. It's woven material makes it rip and tear resistant. The walls were then insulated and air sealed with Spray Foam. This crawlspace is now dry and healthy, and unwelcome for any critters. 

These homeowners had recently purchased the home, and found that critters were rooting around the crawlspace. The living space had a slight animal odor, and they found droppings within the crawlspace. They had looked online and after reading up on encapsulation, they knew this was the type of solution they were looking for. We sent out a specialist who did a full indoor and outdoor inspection, and helped craft a solution to protect their home. 

To begin, the home didn't have a big water issue, so we cleared out the debris and installed a SmartSump as a preventative action. We then laid down a layer of TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. Next we brought in CleanSpace, this is a twenty mil thick woven vapor barrier. The woven fibers make this a huge pest deterrent, and is backed with a twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears. This is installed under each wooden post, anchored to the walls, and fully sealed into place. The walls were then insulated with spray foam along the foundation walls. This space will no longer be a welcoming environment for critters, and keep the home dry and healthy! 

This homes crawlspace had some bounce to it's floors, the homeowners had been going under their home and adding in pieces of wood to the wooden posts that they could add support to. Originally they had thought this was just from the home settling, but as the years progressed, some doors were sticking in their frames, and an odor began to come from the crawlspace. For some help in the matter, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin this project we had to dig out the crawlspace about three inches throughout so it could meet local codes. As the home had settled the headspace had decreased, and the mud was touching four of the wooden posts. We then replaced five wooden posts with SmartJacks to provide stability to the home and protect it from the water mold and rot that had been growing under the home. Our crew then installed a full drainage system in a silt sock to collect water and grade it along to a SuperSump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace. From here water is safely diverted away from the homes foundation. We finished this job by laying down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. 

These homeowners had recently purchased a home with a large basement. While the home had been inspected and no major waterproofing needs were evident, the homeowners wanted to be proactive. Their previous home had their basement flood and we had helped with solve that issue. To ensure their new home wouldn't suffer that same damage, they called up John's Waterproofing for help once more. 

To help out we began by using a jackhammer to create a trench along the interior perimeter. In here we laid a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect groundwater and grade it along to a newly installed UltraSump Plus to dispel water well away from the homes foundation. We then installed BrightWall paneling along the foundation walls. These are easy to clean and waterproof so any moisture would move safely down to the drain system. The homeowners are thrilled their home is waterproofed and they don't need to worry about a water issue effecting them here. 

This homeowner had addressed a rodent issue under their home and wanted to find a humane way to deter critters from coming back. After researching online they decided to schedule a free inspection with John's Waterproofing to learn more about our products. As a general preventative measure the homeowners decided to have us install a TripleSafe Sump pump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace. This was installed in the lowest spot of the crawlspace to collect any water and then send the water out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down CleanSpace. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is made with a woven material. It comes with a twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears, and the woven fibers deter critters from chewing through. The material is also white, so should any issues arise, it is easy to see so it can be addressed quickly. We then air sealed the space with spray foam to ensure critters stay out and sealed up the vents. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space is not welcoming for critters. 

A six Mil vapor barrier provides a temporary solution, depending on the home, this could work for a year, possibly five. But generally water issues will appear within two or three years. This homes vapor barrier tended to get damaged within a year. Rips and tears, chew marks would appear and dirt and mud would start to appear on top of the barrier. To the homeowners dismay, they would need to look to have it replaced. After dealing with this for a few years, they were ready for a long term solution that could provide protection for their home. 

The home didn't have any major water problems, but they homeowners wanted a solution made to last, so they were ready to invest in a Crawlspace Encapsulation. We installed a SmartSump pump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace to collect any water and send it out and away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. Next we brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil vapor barrier has woven fibers to protect it, backed with a twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears. This is where the homeowners were thrilled! It's white color also makes it easy for them to check over to ensure it is working as it should. We then insulated the foundation walls with Spray Foam. This home is now set up for success. 

This basement had suffered from damp walls and floors for years. The homeowners had accepted this were very conscious about what items could safely be kept in this space. They had applied store bought waterproofing paint and applied this every few years, but it would eventually bubble and chip, and water stains were still pushing through. When talking through this issue at their hardware store they ended up pointed to John's Waterproofing for a lasting solution. We scheduled a full inspection and afterwards crafted a solution. 

To begin we installed a full drainage system on the interior of the home. This included a few dissecting drainage lines since some cracks were evident from hydrostatic pressure pushing water up and into the basement. These drain systems were graded to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect the water and send it safely away from the homes foundation. Along the walls, we then placed BrightWall paneling, to ensure water is directly safely down into the drain system. This space also needed a SaniDry dehumidifier and is now a safe space for storage!

Sloped floors is a sign of rot and water issues happening in the crawlspace. When this homeowner noted the odd bowing to their living room floor, they called up John's Waterproofing. We went out to perform an inspection and discovered that one of the wooden beams under the home was rotting away. As the rot got worse, the beam was drooping downwards, without help, this would make the home very dangerous to live in. 

To address this we sent out an install crew. They began by pulling out the general debris from under the home. We then fully replaced the wooden beam with a new one, giving the home the stability it would need to keep the occupants safe. We also replaced three wooden posts with SmartJacks to stabilize the home. a full drainage system was installed to collect water and send it along to a new UltraSump plus. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock and brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is woven and fully sealed into the space to ensure moisture cant get into the vulnerable wooden aspects of the homes foundation. The vents were all sealed, Spray foam applied to the foundation walls and a SaniDry dehumidifier installed to keep this home dry and healthy! 

This home wouldn't have any water issues during the rainy season,  but each summer a smell would occur, only to lay dormant until the heat came back. They couldn't figure out the outdoor,  but wanted it fixed,  so they called up some crawlspace experts from John Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection and created a solution made for their home.  

The odd odor was due to humidity issues causing mold spores to grow along some of the wooden beams under the home.  To begin we cleared out the old fiberglass that had been present under the home,  we then applied Mold X2 as needed.  We then insulated the floor with TerraBlock insulation.  Next came CleanSpace, a 20 mill vapor barrier made with a woven material to help ensure its longevity. Next the walls are insulated with Spray Foam and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity levels healthy for this home from here on out. 

This older home had settled over the years, causing the crawlspace to become difficult to maneuver through. While aiming to do some home renovations, this was making it difficult for some of the work to be performed. To be able to move forward with their home projects, they would need to make their crawlspace up to code and were referred to John's Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection and worked with the homeowners to find a solution that works for them. To begin, our installation crew pulled out the general debris from under the home. We then excavated an average of seven inches throughout the crawlspace so it would be up to local code requirements for crawlspace height. Since the home didn't experience an excessive amount of water, we installed an UltraSump Plus in the lowest spot of the crawlspace. This will ensure that even if heavy rain hits, the groundwater can be directed out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the walls. This home will now be ready for others to come in a finish up their home upgrades. 

When these new homeowners had gone through the buying process, it had been dry outside. After moving in, heavy rains hit, and afterwards they noted a musty smell throughout the home. While nothing off had been reported from the inspections, they knew this odor wasn't ideal. They called up Johns Waterproofing and had a full inspection done. Under the home, mold spores were found, once damp, these let off an odor, to address this and keep their new home dry and healthy they opted for a full encapsulation. 

To begin our crew pulled out the vapor barrier that was present, revealing mold spores that had been covered up during the homes purchase, we treated with Mold X as needed. We then installed an UltraSump Plus in the crawlspaces low spot, this will keep any groundwater present moving along well away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace. This 20 Mil vapor barrier has a woven fiber, and is backed with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. 

This homes vapor barrier had some rips and tears from work being done to their home that required contractors to be in the crawlspace. Knowing that it was damaged, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing to get it replaced. We sent out a design specialist, who did a thorough inspection. After talking through options, the homeowners opted to just keep their project simple, they knew it would need to be replaced every few years, but were okay with that. An installation crew arrived and pulled out the old vapor barrier, clearing out the general debris from the space at the same time. We then brought in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. We ran this up the walls a bit, and overlapped the seams to add protection for the space. The homeowners were pleased that the space was cleaned up once again, and happy with how quick and efficient the crew was. 

Water issues don't always result in pooling water, in this home it was condensation along the foundation walls. This damp to the touch issue had led to mineral deposits on the poured foundation. The space smelled damp and the smell was creeping into the living spaces above. They homeowners decided to call up John's Waterproofing for help. We sent out a design specialist who worked with the homeowners, and ended up moving forward with a Crawlspace encapsulation. 

To begin our crew cleared out the crawlspace, we then installed a SmartSump pump to be on the safe side should heavy rains cause more water. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace, this vapor barrier is attached along the foundation rim joists, so any condensation issues will safely travel down to the ground, and not into the crawlspace area. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed, the vents fully sealed up, and spray foam applied to the foundations walls. The homeowners are happy that the damp smell is already gone and the air seems so much fresher! 

This homeowner called us for mitigation services. They had done an at home radon test from the hardware store, and their home was higher then desirable for radon levels. Due to the poor health of one of the homes occupants, they were eager to have the radon levels lowered. We scheduled the installation, and our installer arrived. They installed the system to collect the dangerous radon from under the home to be sucked safely out of the house via an exterior radon fan system. The homeowners were glad that the home would be healthier and were pleased with how nice the system looked. 

This unfinished basement had water seeping through some of the basement walls. The homeowners had lived with this for a few years, but got tired of having to wipe off items from storage down here and keeping things away from some of the walls. They ended up reading about John's Waterproofing online and decided to schedule their free inspection so they could learn about their waterproofing options. After speaking to a design specialist, they landed on a solution that would fit their homes needs and their budget. 

To begin our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter, here we laid down a bed of gravel and WaterGuard drainage system. The walls were then covered with BrightWall paneling. This provide a semi-finished appearance to the basement, are easy to clean, and will not rot or mold. This will guide all water moisture from the walls and guide it down into the drainage system. From here water is naturally graded along to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure water is sent safely out and away from the homes foundation. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space remains dry and healthy! 

As landscaping changes, homes settle, and construction work is done, a homes foundation receives pressure and over time this can lead to cracks and water intrusion. This home had some minor cracks that were occurring, particularly on one side of the home. Worried about what this could mean down the line, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. We sent out a Design Specialist who did a full inspection and than sat with the homeowner to discuss their homes options. 
To begin on this project, the homes downspouts were addressed. They were all dumping the collected roof water next to the home. We extended the downspouts into the ground, connecting them to a new drainage system that we installed under the ground to send the roof water well away from the homes foundation. In the basement we then dug a trench around the interior perimeter, here we installed a WaterGuard drain system. The install team then sealed up the cracks, which were caught early on. The walls were then waterproofed with BrightWall paneling, that will guide water moisture down from the walls into the drain system. The WaterGuard then grades along to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump that sends water safely away from the home. A SaniDry dehumidifier was then installed to ensure the space would be dry and healthy. 

Water issues in a crawlspace lead to a plethora of issues. Two major issues that we deal with in the PNW were present in this home. Firstly, if a home has a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier, heavy water without a proper drainage system will flood, bringing mud and debris on top of the vapor barrier. This leads to caked on mud, the barrier shifting out of place, and a general mess that attracts critters and allows mold and mildew to affix to the wooden aspects of the home. For this reason a 6 mil is advised to be changed out every few years. Secondly if old fiberglass insulation is present, it will absorb and moisture from the air, holding water against the wooden beams, allowing a culture rich environment for mold to grow unseen under the insulation. To address these major issues, they called up John's Waterproofing to discuss their homes options. 

Ultimately they wanted a long term solution, so they decided to move forward with a full encapsulation. Our crew pulled out the old insulation, vapor barrier, and general debris. We then installed a full drainage system in the crawlspace with a perforated pipe in a silt sock to divert water to an UltraSump Pump and then out away from the home. To insulate we then laid down TerraBlock insulation on the dirt floor. This is then wrapped into a CleanSpace encapsulation. This is inserted under each wooden post, attached along the rim joist, and fully sealed into place, sealing off all vents. We then installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and upgraded the exterior entrance to an Everlast access well and EverLast Door. A few weeks later our spray foam specialist arrived and applied spray foam along the foundation walls, effectively air sealing and insulating the space. 

Leaking Walls in the basement are an easy way to determine that a water problem is evident. For the past few years the homeowner had felt like the basement was damp and musty, but they couldn't see any issues, so they had pushed the worry aside. However, now there were some hairline cracks along two of the foundation walls and they had water drip, drip, dripping out. They called up John's Waterproofing to see what was going on with their home and how they could stop water problems. A design specialist arrived and did a full inspection, siting that both their downspouts and a local high water table were the issues here. 

To begin our work the downspouts were extended into the ground, connecting to a pipe system that we installed in the ground to divert the roofs water safely away from the home. We then began the basement work, digging a trench along the interior perimeter. We laid a bed of gravel in here with our WaterGuard drain system. We carefully graded this to a TripleSafe sump pump which then sends the water out and away from the home. The walls were then covered with BrightWall paneling, this will guide any wall moisture safely into the drain system. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and this will keep that musty and damp feeling, making this space dry and healthy. 

This home was on the market, and the home inspection indicated that there was severe condensation in the basement, predomently along the foundation walls. It would need to be properly addressed for the homes sale to proceed. The homeowner agreed and called up John's Waterproofing to use our Fix it To List it program. 

Our crew dug a trench along the basements interior perimeter. Here we laid in a bed of gravel and WaterGuard. This drainage system is fed the water from the foundation walls with the aid of a CleanSpace Wall system. This will not mold or mildew, but guide any moisture from the walls safely down to the drain system. The drain system guides the collected water to a TripleSafe sump pump which pushes all of the water away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air humidity levels at a healthy level. This home was then ready to be sold! 

Condensation along the walls can cause mold, mildew, and air quality issues. The homeowner said the basement air felt damp when heavy rain was happening and they wanted that issue take care of. They scheduled their free inspection and went through their options to find the solution they wanted for their basement. 

To begin our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter, here we installed a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drainage system. This is installed to grade down to a low spot where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed, taking the water out and away from the homes foundation. Since the walls had condensation along them we installed BrightWall paneling, that will guide the water down the walls to the drain system. These panels do not mold or rot and are easy to clean, giving the space a semi-finished look. A SaniDry dehumidifier was then installed to keep the air healthy and ensure that dampness would not be an issue. 

When a crawlspace is open to the elements it becomes very easy for it to accumulate debris and even unwanted critters. This home had to have pest control help with some gusts in the crawlspace, and while those had been addressed, the mess remained. The vent screens were chewed through, droppings were scattered throughout, and most of the insulation had been pulled down and turned into bedding or left in shreds. The homeowners debated on just getting the fiberglass reattached and new screens, but the pest control company informed them that once critters get into a spot, they will often come back. To deter critters from the space, they were referred to John's Waterproofing. 

To begin our work, we cleared out the old insulation, chewed up vapor barrier, and the other debris that was present. We then installed a new EverLast exterior entrance so critters couldn't chew and gain entry to the space. A drain system with a SuperSump  was installed to address groundwater. We then laid down TerraBlock over the dirt floor and sealed up the vents. CleanSpace was then installed, under each wooden post, anchored along the walls and sealed into place fully. CleanSpace has a woven fiber in it to deter critters from chewing through it. Also the space had high humidity which critters are attracted to, to keep the air dry and healthy a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. We then air sealed the space and insulated the foundation walls with spray foam. 

This homes water issue had been prevalent for many years, leading to the floor drooping in spots. The homeowners were concerned with how this would affect the homes longevity, so they called up John's Waterproofing for their free inspection. The design specialist found six posts and a major beam under the home with dry rot problems. To make this home dry and healthy it would need some structural help. 

To begin our crew pulled out the old debris from the space. Once it was cleaned out, we carefully replaced the rotting wooden beam and changed the rotting posts with SmartJacks. This helped re-stabilize the home, and eliminated the drooping in the above spaces. To help control the water issues we then installed a full drainage system in the crawlspace to collect groundwater and send it along to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump pump that we installed in the lowest spot. From here the water is pumped safely away from the homes foundation. We then laid in a new 6 mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges, and told the homeowners how important it is to have an annual service to check the barrier is still in place. A 6 mil barrier does need to be changed out every few years. 

When walking through a home show, this couple saw a booth for John's Waterproofing. They knew their crawlspace was a mess, so they swung by. After hearing about CleanSpace vapor barriers, and seeing home images of a full encapsulation, they were interested to see how their home would benefit from a full system, and scheduled their free inspection. When a design specialist dove under the house, they discovered falling fiberglass insulation, mud over the old vapor barrier, and some water stains along the foundation walls. After discussing these findings, showing photos from the crawlspace, and going over the benefits of an encapsulation, the project was scheduled. 

To begin work, the crew pulled out the old insulation, vapor barrier and debris from under the home. A full interior perimeter drainage system was then installed, to collect groundwater and send it along to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump pump in the lowest spot, which then sends the collected water safely away from the home. A layer of TerraBlock insulation was installed over the dirt floor, and CleanSpace brought in. This goes under each wooden post, attaches to the walls and is full sealed into place, with each vent sealed underneath. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air in the crawlspace healthy, and spray foam applied along the foundation walls. This space is now dry and healthy. 

At a home show this homeowner stopped to chat. They had a basement that was used for storage, but as of lately, they had found some mold on some of the items that were stored here. They couldn't see any water issues, but were wondering what could cause this to happen on items that just sat in boxes. Our representative explain that high humidity could lead to that type of issue and that we would be happy to have a design specialist go out to perform a full inspection to help diagnose the issue. During the inspection, the specialist used a hygrometer, finding that the initial thoughts had been accurate, and humidity problems were affecting this space. 

To solve the problem, our crew dug a trench along the foundation walls, where a bed of gravel and WaterGuard was installed. The walls were covered with BrightWall paneling, a semi-finished panel that is easy to clean, will not rot or mold, and guides the wall moisture to the drain system. WaterGuard guides all of the collected water to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump pump to then push the water safely away from the homes foundation. Since humidity had been an apparent issue we also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space healthy, and keep mold from growing. 

This homeowner had us out to their beach house in Newport. That home had extensive water damage in the crawlspace, including mold, dry rot, and needing to replace multiple wooden posts to stabilize the home. Knowing the price point here and knowing the work needed to be done to keep the house usable, they figured their main home in Springfield should be looked at as well. They were happy to learn that no major issues had occurred in the crawlspace, only slight water stains along the foundation walls and the vapor barrier was askew from water ground water. To protect their home from major water damage that can occur as time progresses, they chose to encapsulate this space.  

To begin our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier, insulation, and debris. With a clean base we installed a drainage system in a silt sock to collect water and guide it to a low spot, Here we installed a TripleSafe Sump pump and UltraSump battery back-up. This will ensure water is moved away from the home. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor and all vents were sealed shut. We then installed CleanSpace, this goes under each wooden post, anchors to the walls and is fully sealed. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam used on the foundation to both air seal and insulate. The homeowner is at ease knowing the wont need to stress about water issues occurring in the crawlspace. 

A damp crawlspace causes issues, in this home case it was causing mold spores to grow along the wooden beams and posts. The spores were bringing nasty odors into the living spaces above, and the homeowners were ready to do something about it. With a family member suffering from asthma, air quality was a point of interest. After a full inspection and sit down a design specialist, they know a full encapsulation was the best solution to make their home dry and healthy. 

To begin our work we cleared the crawlspace of all debris and the old vapor barrier. We then applied Mold X2 as needed throughout the space. By installing a full encapsulation we will keep the space mold free, not just remove it temporarily. Our crew installed an UltraSump Plus as a precaution for heavy rains, and then sealed off all vents. TerraBlock was installed to insulate the dirt floor. CleanSpace was installed under each wooden post, attached to the foundation walls along the rim joist, and sealed into place. Spray Foam was applied to the walls and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the relative humidity within a healthy range so mold spores will not grow. 

Smelling something damp and musty in the home, this homeowner looked under the home into the crawlspace and discovered water pooling on top of the old vapor barrier. After talking about this issue with a friend, they heard about John's Waterproofing and encapsulation. 

To begin this process the homes old vapor barrier and debris was pulled out. There was some old fiberglass insulation, and this was safely removed as well. We then installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace, the area had an incline, so a drain system was not needed to guide the groundwater. The sump pump will collect all of the water and send it safely away from the homes foundation. TerraBlock insulation was installed over the dirt floor and vents were sealed off. CleanSpace was then installed, under each vapor barrier, attached to the foundation walls and taped with a 4 inch wide tape to keep all moisture out. Spray foam was applied to the foundation walls and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. The space will now be dry and healthy, with no more water issues. 

This home was built in the early 1940's and as the years moved along, the home settled into place. This ended up causing the crawlspace to not meet local requirements for the crawlspace height. As the homeowners were aiming to have some renovations done, including new pipes which would be accessed through the crawlspace, they knew the crawlspace would need to be addressed. They called up John's Waterproofing as a referral from the plumbing company they were going to use for the pipes. Once there we looked under the home, and knew it would need to be dug out and suggested a full encapsulation to protect the home from water damage and critters. 

To begin our work we pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris and began digging the space down to meet local code. In average we pulled out about 5 inches of dirt. With the space much easier to maneuver though we installed an sump pump in the lowest spot. While there was not a major water issue, this will act as back up should nasty weather hit and it will collect water and send it away from the homes foundation. We laid down TerraBlock over the dirt floor and CleanSpace to keep all moisture and critters out. The vents were sealed off and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and the space was officially encapsulated, and ready for the original plumber to come in and easily access all of the homes old plumbing. 

This homes crawlspace had falling fiberglass insulation, leading to the homes heating and cooling costs rising. To regain their homes temperature regulation, they would need to address this space. While searching for a solution, they read about encapsulation. To learn more about it, they called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection. Afterwards, they were eager to get their project scheduled!

To begin on this project, we had to clean out the space. This involved pulling out all of the old fiberglass insulation, the old 6 Mil vapor barrier, and the general debris that had accumulated. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter and installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect any water and grade it to the lowest spot of the crawlspace where a SuperSump Plus has been installed to pump the water away from the home. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock and sealed the space with CleanSpace. This goes under each wooden post, attaches along the foundation walls and seals into place, also sealing off the vents. Spray foam insulation is applied to the foundation walls, and a SaniDry Dehumidifier was installed. As a final step a new EverLast door was installed for the exterior entrance. The homeowners say their house feels warmer already and look forward to saving on their heating and cooling costs!

This person called us up for radon mitigation. Their child had done a radon test at the house for science class, and discovered the home had very high levels of radon. They were surprised by this find, and even bought a few more quick result tests from the local hardware store, all to discover very high levels from each test they did. From the kids science research, they knew that these findings were bad for their health, and wanted to get radon mitigation. We sent out a radon measurement professional, who did a full walk through of the home and discussed how the system works, showed them some photos and they discussed installation. The home had a basement so we drilled a hole through the flooring, this perfectly fits the mitigation pipe and uses a specialized system to pump it out and away from the home. We also always follow-up a system install with a charcoal radon test. We guarantee our system and urge all customers to use the charcoal test, which are sent to a radon testing company, to test the home after the mitigation to ensure the homes radon levels are dropped into a safe zone. 

When a damp odor comes from your crawlspace, it needs some help. This homeowner smelled something off and glanced under their home to find water pooling in multiple places on top of their 6 Mil vapor barrier. They could see water mold growing and wanted to get this addressed. They searched online and read about John's Waterproofing, their inspection was scheduled, and a solution was chosen. 

The homeowner didn't want to have to stress about water issues in the crawlspace, so they opted to have a full encapsulation. We began by removing the old vapor barrier and debris. Once the space was cleared out a trench was dug so we could install a drainage system that would guide the groundwater to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump located in the lowest spot. From here water is pumped safely away from the homes foundation. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor and CleanSpace was brought in. This 20 Mil woven vapor barrier goes under each wooden post, attaches under the rim joist, and seals into place. We installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and Spray Foam insulation along the foundation walls to finish up the job. The odor is now gone and the homeowner can rest assured that their crawlspace is dry and healthy. 

The dampness in the crawlspace led to some odors that were concerning to the homeowners. They called up John's Waterproofing to look under their home and provide a free inspection and estimate. While under the home we discovered that condensation was on the foundation walls, and this was causing some mold spores to grow. To address this, we would need to encapsulate. 

We pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock to collect water and guide it to a new SuperSump Plus in the low spot. From here water is sent safely away from the homes foundation. We then laid in TerraBlock over the dirt floor, closed off the vents, and brought in CleanSpace. This is attached along the rim joist and goes under each wooden post to keep the wood away from harmful moisture. We treated the space for Mold and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. This space can now remain dry and healthy. 

New tenants had moved into this home and after the rainy season they found moisture along the foundation walls. They called up the homeowner. As the basement was a large portion of space, housing the homes washer and dryer, as well as significant storage space, the homeowner wanted to fix the issue to ensure the space would remain usable. They called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled a free inspection that was coordinated to have both the homeowner and then tenant present. After going over the inspection finds, they landed on a solution and got scheduled. 

To begin working a trench was dug around the basements interior perimeter, here a bed of gravel was installed with WaterGuard drainage over it. This will collect water from the foundation walls that are waterproofed with our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. Water then grades along the drain system to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump, sending all water away from the home. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to ensure no moisture in the air would cause issues. The space is now dry and healthy! 

This homeowner called us up from a recommendation from a pest control company. They had an odd odor coming from under their home. Unable to go under the home themselves, they had a pest control company out, thinking there were critters under there causing the smell. However, no such issue was present, but there were mold spores and mildew that were making the space smell musty and dirty. This was what was making the living spaces smell bad. They scheduled their free inspection and we went out to address the problem. Afterwards, we determined they would need a mold remediation company to handle the mold, it was to deep an issue for us, but we could encapsulate afterwards to ensure the mold doesn't come back. They liked that, and scheduled the mold remediation with our work to follow. 

Once the mold was addressed we went out and cleared out the crawlspace. We dug a trench and installed a full drainage system to collect any groundwater, sending it along to a new sump pump that would pump the water safely away from the homes foundation. TerraBlock insulation was installed over the dirt floor and all of the vents were sealed shut. CleanSpace was than brought in, and went under each wooden post, attached along the rim joist, and sealed fully into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. The space is dry and healthy, and the homeowners are relieved to know they wont have to stress about mold in the crawlspace. 

This daylight basement had water coming in, causing a musty odor and damp spots along the foundation floor. The homeowner enjoyed using the space and wanted to keep making use of it, so they needed to address the water problem. They called up John's Waterproofing to get a full inspection and talk about options to have the space waterproofing and refinishing the space. 

To begin work, our crew pulled up the old flooring, and removed the below-grade portions of the walls that had water seeping in behind it from the foundation walls. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter, laying a bed of gravel and a WaterGuard drainage system in. Since there was water coming up through the foundation floor, we also installed some leech lines to collect water from through the space and guide it to the WaterGuard drains. From there the water is graded to a low point where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which pushes the water safely out and away from the foundation. To waterproof the walls we installed our ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier. This will provide a thermal break, and will not mold or mildew, just acting as a vapor barrier of moisture to be guided to the drain system. To keep the moisture content healthy, we also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. Once the waterproofing system was completed, our finished crew came in and refinished the walls. 

This crawlspace had high water in it. The homeowners could hear water moving around under the house and opened up the crawlspace entrance in their closet, finding standing water. The water was a good five inches deep and the homeowners knew this would need to be remedied. It couldn't be healthy for the crawlspace to have this much water present. They called up John's Waterproofing to get their free inspection scheduled and so they could go over their homes options. 

They ended up choosing a full encapsulation for their crawlspace, giving their home top notch protection against water issues. To begin we had to dry out the space so we could work. Once the space was dry enough, we crawled under, and pulled out the old fiberglass, vapor barrier, and debris. A full drainage system was then laid out, guiding the groundwater to a new TripleSafe sump pump, to then be pumped out and away from the homes foundation. We insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock , and closed off all vents. CleanSpace was then installed throughout, going under each wooden post, attaching to the rim joist and sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam applied to the foundation walls to finish off the space. This space is now dry and healthy, and protected against water issues! 

This homes crawlspace hadn't been dealt with in over five years. The old vapor barrier had some rips and tears in it from contractors doing some work in there, and the place was musty and littered with general debris. The home was going to go on the market, and the ensure they could get their asking price, the homeowners were checking the home for any repairs that needed to be addressed beforehand. To handle the crawlspace, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. They met with our realty expert to stream lined the process to meet realty deadlines. 

To begin our crew removed the old vapor barrier, debris, and the pieces of old fiberglass that were present. We then dug a trench around the crawlspaces interior, installing in a perforated pipe in a silt sock, this is installed to collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest point of the crawlspace. From here, the water is pumped through a new TripleSafe sump pump to be send away from the homes foundation. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier is laid in, overlapping the edges. This space will be all set to go on the market!

This home had the crawlspace flood. The homeowners knew the water needed to be dealt with so they could determine if any long term damage had occurred. To get someone out to investigate, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin helping out, we had a team out to perform a dry-out. We added in a few temporary sumps pumps and fans to get the water safely out from under the home and dried out the space. We then began to install a full drainage system. This is a perforated pipe in a silt sock that wraps around the interior perimeter of the space, and is graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace. This is where a SuperSump Plus with an UltraSump battery back up is installed to send the water out from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier and overlapped the edges to help it keep the space dry. This barrier will need to be changed out every few years, but the pipe and pump system will help to keep the space from flooding again. 

Water was getting into the crawlspace. The homeowner could see water pooling over the vapor barrier that was down there and knew water could cause many long term issues. They searched online to try to figure out what they could do, and decided this job called for an expert. They called up John's Waterproofing to get their free inspection with one of our trained design specialists. In the end, they decided to move forward with a full encapsulation so the space would be protected against water damage and they could enjoy the benefits of our many product and installation warranties. 

To begin our work, we needed to clear our the crawlspace. This entailed drying the space out, and then removing the old vapor barrier, fiberglass, and general debris that had built up under the home. We then installed a full drainage system to collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a TripleSafe sump pump was installed. From here all water is pumped away from the home. We then layered on TerraBlock insulation over the floor with our CleanSpace vapor barrier over it, sealing off all old vents. The CleanSpace goes under the wooden posts, anchors to the walls, and fully seals into place. A SaniDry Dehumidifier was installed and to finish up we applied spray foam to the foundation walls to both air seal and insulate the space. 

Efflorescence was present on this homes basement walls. This is from the excess of salt minerals in the ground water that is left on the foundation walls when water moves through a porous material. They found this information online and knew that while they didn't see any standing water, this material on the walls was a sign that water was coming through, and will only worsen over the years. To address this before it became worse, they called up John's Waterproofing to get their free inspection and discuss their options. 

To address the water issues we began by installing a full perimeter drainage system. This involved digging a trench along the interior foundation walls, here we laid down a bed of gravel with WaterGuard drainage system. This has water from the walls directed into it with the help of our BrightWall paneling. The drainage system then grades the water down to a TripleSafe sump pump which will send the collected water safely out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the air is healthy and mold cant occur in this space. This basement is now bright, dry, and healthy! 

This homeowner kept a close eye on air quality within the home. This included an air quality monitor, which indicated high levels of radon. Since the monitor does not give specifics, they contacted John's Waterproofing to get a continuous radon test to see what the levels were registering at, and how it fluctuated through the days. In the end we found the radon levels to be between 4.0 and 5.0 pCi/L, well above the healthy level of 1.0. They scheduled to have a mitigation system installed in their garage to address this air quality concern. Our certified installed drilled a hole through the floor, and installed a pipe with a radon fan. This will pull radon air our of the soil and push it out of the home where it then disperses into the air. As always, when we do a radon mitigation system, we left a charcoal test kit for the homeowners to use to retest after the install. This test is used and sent to a third party radon test facility. The results are in the homes radon level is now under 0.6 pCi/L!

With standing water found in the crawlspace, this homeowner began their search for a waterproofing company. They read articles online about different techniques, searched through reviews, and looked at before and after images from companies, in the end calling up John's Waterproofing. They scheduled their inspection ready to learn about encapsulation and how it could help them protect their home against water damage. 

To begin our work, we cleared the crawlspace of debris and the old vapor barrier. We then dig a trench around the space, laying in a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and guide it to the lowest point where it is pumped into a TripleSafe sump pump to be directed away from the home. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock, sealed shut the vents, and brought in our CleanSpace. This 20 Mil thick vapor barrier has a woven fiber threaded through it, and is fully sealed to keep water from penetrating into the crawlspace. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air dry and healthy and applied spray foam to the foundation walls. This will insulate and air seal. The space is now brighter, clean, dry, and healthy! 

This home was over a hundred years old, and as the home settled into its place, the wooden posts in the crawl space had shifted. This caused many of them to no longer be touching their footing, instead causing a bounce to the floors above when someone walked around the home. The homeowners knew this was an issue and needed to address these structural issues to preserve their home. They called up John's Waterproofing after seeing one of our ads in a local magazine. 

To address the homes concerns we began by clearing out the old vapor barrier that had shifted out of place. We then replaced twenty-three wooden posts with our SmartJacks. These are made of galvanized steel so they will not rot or mold. These can also be adjusted a bit as the home continues to settle, ensuring the home remains stable. With the homes structural integrity once again intact we installed a drainage system and SuperSump Plus, these are installed to protect against water damage. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was also laid throughout. This vapor barrier will need to be changed out every few years as needed. 

A simple 6 Mil vapor barrier has can average two to three year lifespan. After that point, they tend to have shifted out of position, accumulated tears, and been chewed on by critters. This doesn't even take into account when a home faces high water issues that shortens that lifespan even more so. This particular home hadn't had their crawl space redone in at least ten years, and it was a mess. The old vapor barrier covered only about half of the space due to it shifting out of place and the amount of tears and chewing that had damaged the old barrier. The homeowner needed this to be addressed as the foul odor from here was permeating into the living spaces. 

Our crew cleared out the old vapor barrier and debris that was present. We then installed a full drainage system to collect and grade water to the lowest point where a TripleSafe sump pump was installed, then sending the water safely away from the home. TerraBlock insulation was installed over the dirt floor and all of the vents were sealed shut. CleanSpace was then installed, going under each wooden post, attaching to the walls and sealed into place. We installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and applied spray foam insulation along the foundation walls. This space will now stay dry, stable, and healthy! 

This homes basement always smelled damp and musty. The homeowners had lived with the odor for years and never thought there was another option. They could see no water or damage, just the ever present odor that was present. However, at a local home show, the homeowners chatted with a representative at our booth, and learned there was a better way, and that this odor was a sign of a water issue that was slowly creeping through the homes foundation. 

To address this issue properly and protect the home from water damage, waterproofing was needed. We installed a full interior WaterGuard drainage system which will collect water from the walls and ground to guide to a TripleSafe sump pump, which then pumps the water safely away from the homes foundation. The walls were then covered with our BrightWall panels, which will guide moisture from the walls to the drain system. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to treat the present high humidity levels. The homeowners also opted to have an Aspen air purifier installed in their living spaces. The system as a whole has made the home smell healthy, that musty odor gone! 

This homes living space had recently gotten all new hardwood flooring, and the homeowners could now feel how cold their floor was throughout the home. It wasn't just col kitchen tiles, the whole home was chilly to walk through. After looking up what this meant online, they discovered that this was a sign that the crawlspace had poor insulation, and they were probably paying more than they should to heat and cool the home, and had been for years. It was only now noticeable. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing and upon inspection, it was found that the old fiberglass was falling to pieces in their crawl space. 

To address this and regain control of their heating and cooling costs, the homeowners chose to move forward with a full encapsulation. To begin we cleaned the crawl space out, removing the old vapor barrier and insulation. We then installed a drainage system and a SuperSump Plus to ensure groundwater was addressed. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock and the foundation walls with SilverGlo. The space is air sealed and the vents fully covered up at this point. We then installed CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that goes under each wooden post, anchors to the walls and is fully sealed into place. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The homeowners were amazed to see their heating and cooling bill already go down with the work now completed, and happy to feel the floor is more comfortable. 

Water damage can get costly if left to continue. This homes wooden posts were beginning to rot away due to prolonged water exposure. The crawl space would flood when heavy rains hit, and the water would sit above the footing festering. The homes living space had bouncy floors and doors that would stick in their frames due to the homes structural damage. They knew they would need to address their wooden posts and find a way to protect their home against flooding. For this, they called up John's Waterproofing for their free inspection. 

To begin our work we pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then replaced thirteen wooden posts with our SmartJacks to stabilize the home. These can be adjusted over the years and will not rust or get harmed by moisture. To keep the space from flooding, we then installed a full drainage system. This was a trench around the interior perimeter, where we installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This is installed to collect the groundwater and grade it to the lowest point of the crawl space where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to then send the water safely away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was then installed, with overlapping edges. This vapor barrier will need to be changed out, or upgraded in a few years. The homeowners are happy their home is stable once more though. 

As a home settles into it's place, it is natural for the home to settle into the soil as the years progress. This home was now over a hundred years old, and the homeowners knew the crawl space was very tight and wouldn't meet local regulations as they began to think about selling the home to downsize. Wanting to ensure the home would be ready to sell, they began a few upgrades, such as calling John's Waterproofing. 

To bring the home up to code on the crawl space we had some work. We began by digging out the crawl space an average of five inches throughout the area. With the height now addressed we installed a pull interior perimeter drainage system to collect ground water and guide it to the lowest point, where we installed a SuperSump Plus which will pump the water safely away from the home. We then laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the wall. This vapor barrier will need to be replaced every few years or upgraded. 

This cabin in the woods, had mud caked on its old 6 Mil vapor barrier. The homeowners wanted to keep the water from rising since they knew mud over the vapor barrier meant water was pooling under here. To keep the area healthy, and ensure they didn't worry about water damage when they weren't here, they called up John's Waterproofing. With the goal to just keep water levels from rising we installed a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic. We pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. A drainage system was installed on the interior perimeter and this guides water to the lowest point where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed to send the water safely away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was then installed with edges overlapping. We let the homeowners knew the 6 Mil will need to be replaced every few years or upgraded. 

This vacation home had crawl space insulation issues. With the owners being away from the cabin for weeks at a time, they often dealt with critters getting into the crawl space and pulling the fiberglass insulation down. They would reattach it, place our traps and then deal with the same issue over and over. Ready for something that would provide an ongoing insulation solution, they turned to John's Waterproofing to learn more about encapsulation. After learning more about it, hearing the benefits and the warranties that the products have, they chose to move forward. 

To begin our installation crew cleaned out the crawl space, this involved pulling out the old vapor barrier, general debris, and the damaged fiberglass. We then installed a drainage system on the interior perimeter to collect ground water and guide it to the lowest point where a TripleSafe sump pump will direct it out and away from the foundation. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor, and the vents were sealed shut. We then wrapped the space with CleanSpace, a 20 Mil vapor barrier that deters critters with its woven fibers. A SaniDry dehumifier was installed and spray foam along the foundation walls. The space is now set up to stay insulated and protect this homes crawl space.
