John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had a water issue in the crawlspace. The water moisture led to falling fiberglass, pools of water on the old vapor barrier, and a general unhealthy space. To address this with a solution, we installed a full encapsulation. 

This crawl space was in desperate need of waterproofing after the homeowner discovered their vapor barrier was destroyed and the fiberglass insulation was falling from the sub-floor. All the dirt and debris that was covering the space indicated there had been significant water intrusion over the years that was left unresolved. This increases the exposure to mold growth, wood rot, and damages the structural integrity of the home. After calling John's Waterproofing, we installed a Pipe Pump Plastic system that would help keep water out and keep the space healthy. This repair plan involves installing a drainage system with a perforated pipe and connecting it to a SuperSump Plus sump pump. From there, the sump pump takes all the collected water that tries to seep through and safely pushes it out and away from the homes foundation. After the drainage is installed and the passage of water is controlled, then a new 6 mil vapor barrier gets installed. This goes along the base, up the foundation walls, and between the footing and wooden posts to isolate and protect. Each seam of the liner gets overlapped so that water is unable to seep over top of it. We also make sure to anchor it to the foundation walls so it stays secure. Once this system is fully installed and cleaned up, the crawl space is in better condition to stay dry and healthy.

The pictures below show what a difference a crawl space encapsulation makes. Keeping your crawl space clean and dry is one way to ensure there will be no mold issues underneath your home and helps to provide clean air coming into your home. An encapsulation with the CleanSpace vapor barrier is a guaranteed way to know that you are protecting the health of your home. And protecting yourself. 

This homes basement had efflorescence and they were ready to address it with a waterproofing solution. We installed a WaterGuard Drainage system, CleanSpace Wall Vpaor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. 

This homes crawl space had been messed up from rodents. After having a pest company out to help, they wanted to upgrade this space and keep rodents from coming into this space again. For this they called upon John's Waterproofing to learn about our encapsulation. This system as a whole, will deter critters from getting in the crawl space, lower heating and cooling costs, and keep your home dry and healthy!
