John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This crawl space had no vapor barrier laid down and was taking on water. The crew came in and fixed it up by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Transforming this muddy crawl space into a dry, clean space.

This homes crawlspace had repeat issues with rodents getting under their home. They were ready to find a solution to stop critters from getting under their home and was pointed to a full encapsulation as a great way to deter rodents. John's encapsulation seals off all vents, uses a 20 mil woven vapor barrier (difficult to chew through), air seals using spray foam and has a dehumidifier which makes the space healthy and uninviting to rodents. 

This homeowner was placing their home on the market and found evidence of water in their crawl space. They were worried about the possible damage caused, and how it could affect the sale. When water enters a crawl space, it causes many issues for the entire home. This includes structural damage to the home and dampness, which then creates an inviting environment for mold and mildew, and attracts unwanted rodents and pests. Getting the crawl space transformed will raise the value and stability of the home. The homeowner called John's Waterproofing so we could find them a proper solution. We sent one of our system design specialists out to perform a free estimate and inspection. They met after the inspection and went over solutions for this wet crawl space. They agreed that encapsulating was the way to go. To start this project, our team goes in and removes all the old damaged fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. Next, our team installs our SmartJacks, which are our high capacity adjustable supplemental steel piers designed to stop settling and raise up the floor. Our team then digs a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space to lay down a perforated pipe into a silt sock to ensure the water has a safe passage to drain to both the TripleSafe and SuperSump Plus. Next a discharge line is installed outside to drain the water away from the foundation. Then, our team installs our EverLast Door, this provides exterior access to the crawl space. Our TerraBlock was then installed directly onto the floor of this crawl space creating an insulated barrier between the home and earth. Our team then installs our CleanSpace system on top of the TerraBlock, and on the foundation walls up to the rim joists. All the vents are then sealed in this crawl space to prevent outside air from coming in. The goal is to control the environment, so our team than installs our SaniDry Sedona, which is our efficient dehumidifier that will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. This will keep the home at a relative humidity of 55%. This dehumidifier promotes healthier air for the entire home. Lastly, to finish this encapsulation, we spray our foam insulation along the foundation walls and up to the rim joists to create an air tight seal, ensuring this crawl space will be protected from water and ready for the new homeowners. 

This homeowner had cold, drafty basement floors and was looking to improve his basement space. Our team installed the Thermal Dry Basement Floor system which is a built-in drainage and vapor barrier system. The flooring comes in tiles that snap together and install directly over concrete flooring.
