John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Our service team came out to do a service on this homeowners WaterGuard system. They decided that they wanted to upgrade their system and wondered if there was anything we could do to make the basement warmer. Now that it was dry they wanted to spend more time in there but it was still pretty chilly. We suggested our ThermalDry wall system that acts as an insulation and reflects heat back into the basement. Now they have a dry and warm basement for years to come!

Partially done crawlspace was bothering customer, so they called us to finish it 

This homeowner in King City had another company come out and work on their crawlspace and after a few years, a cable installer showed them photos of their crawlspace. They were disappointed to see the entire space covered in a thick and sloppy layer of spray foam insulation covering everything in their crawlspace. 

Our crews came in and removed the old insulation and installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier and then applied the spray foam properly around the foundation of the space so that the homeowner and workers could still access the space and work when needed. 

When a dirt crawl space does not have a proper vapor barrier, moisture from the soil rises, causing humidity all throughout the home. This introduces musty and damp odors, as well as creates the perfect environment for pests and rodents to thrive. This homeowner contacted John's for a free inspection after finding that their vapor barrier was damaged and lost its protective value. We sent one of our knowledgeable system design specialists out, and after inspecting the crawl space he met with the homeowners to go over the best option to properly protect this crawl space.

We began by removing all of the debris. Then, we dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space in which we installed a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock. This will create a secure passage for the water to drain to the lowest point. At this low point, we installed our SuperSump Plus to collect all of the water and pump it outside of the home away from the foundation through a discharge line. Each wooden post is jacked up with a bottle jack to install our CleanSpace system between the footing and the post to protect the wood from water damage. Next, we covered and sealed all of the vents to prevent outside air from entering. Then, we installed our TerraBlock system which provides an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. After, we anchored our 20 mil-thick-liner; CleanSpace into the foundation walls up to the rim joists and on top of the TerraBlock system and sealed it to the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape. To keep the environment controlled we installed our SaniDry Sedona that will dry and filter the air to eliminate damp and musty odors as well as keep the space at a healthy relative humidity. To finish this project we sprayed our foam insulation onto the foundation walls up to the rim joists, making sure every crack and void is filled- ultimately providing a completely airtight seal. With this full encapsulation, this homeowner can be sure they are protected for years to come. 

This homeowner called us because the rock underneath his homes foundation was crumbling, causing his concrete foundation wall to slide with it. Our Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection, free of charge, and found that 1 portion of the rock beneath the concrete foundation wall was dramatically crumbling. He explained to the homeowner, that without proper intervention, his home would eventually fall into itself, because the crumbling of the rock supporting the foundation wall was so severe. The homeowner expected as much, and wanted to get started on repairs immediately. We added him to our schedule, and arrived at his home with our crew of structural experts. The crumbling was so severe, that our crew had to dig out a large amount of the rock, until it was flush with the foundation wall. When the strong and still intact foundation wall and the subfloor were perfectly in line, the crew began installing Steel Helical Piers, to lift the home back to its correct and level height. To install the Helical Piers, they first attached steel brackets to the foundation wall, and then hydraulically drill them through the bracket and deep into the ground. They continued drilling each pier down, until they reached soil that was dense enough to support the weight of the home, and then drilled even further into it until the home lifted. The Helical Piers will remain permanently in place to support the foundation, and ensure that the home experiences no further sliding or settling. Johns quick response to this extremely urgent matter, has eased this homeowners mind, and has returned stability back to a foundation that - without repair - would have caused catastrophic damage to this home, and greatly threatened the safety of the family within.
