John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When building a home, save yourself unpredictable stress, by waterproofing below-grade foundation walls while still in the construction process. Waterproofing structures at this time allows for seamless, professional waterproofing that protects the building from water damage from the get go. Structures that are not professionally waterproofed (especially in the PNW) suffer from inevitable attacks of water intrusion, causing subfloors and crawl spaces to rot, foundations to crumble, and complete loss of safety, longevity, and stability.

The best way to waterproof below-grade foundation walls, is to call on John's, as your leading local experts, to install Paraseal and TremDrain directly onto the exterior, underground portion of the foundation walls. These 2 heavy-duty waterproofing layers, work together to direct ground water down foundation walls, instead of through them, while also creating an impenetrable layer of HDPE and expanding bentonite clay - keeping water out. Paraseal and TremDrain prevent the build-up of hydrostatic pressure, which directly supports the strength and longevity of the integrity of the entire structure. If you are gearing up to begin building, or are already in the construction process, give us a call today, saving you from future stress caused by water intrusion, while extending the life of your home. John's professional waterproofing greatly increases the safety and stability of homes, helping families to thrive in stability for years to come!

This crawlspace had standing water throughout the whole space, making it a muddy mess. We came in and dried it out and installed CleanSpace, a smartsump sump pump, a sanidry dehumidifier and added spray foam insulation for added energy efficiency. This homeowner will now have a dry crawlspace while saving money on energy costs for years to come.

This wet and musty basement was unfinished. The homeowners wanted to use this space for storage but didn't want to worry about water damage, so they got their basement waterproofed. 

This customer called us when they discovered a water was coming into the crawlspace and causing moisture and mold spores to grow. It was affecting the walls and air of the house. So we sent out one of our inspectors to see what we could do to fix the problem. 

Our inspector went and found standing water in the crawlspace which had started to ruin the old black plastic vapor barrier and create a muddy mess. We did a crawlspace clean out and remove the wet sagging fiberglass insulation. We installed our crawlspace encapsulation system with our Cleanspace vapor barrier that is 20 mil thick and tacks on the walls of the crawlspace while sealing the vents. We also installed a smart sump pump that will pump all water out along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will keep all moisture, dust mites, and mold spores clear from the air you breathe in your home. We then used our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the crawlspace efficiently keeping warm air in and a nicely sealed space. 

The homeowner was so relieved to have us encapsulate her crawlspace and they don't have to worry about water or mold again. They now can relax knowing their family will be breathing clean air in their home. 

Standing water in the crawlspace is never a good thing but when it is causing a muddy mess everywhere what do you do? This customer faced this problem when he discovered his crawlspace had standing water and it was causing damage to his vapor barrier. We had our inspector go out and see what we could do for them. We did a dry out of the crawlspace and then cleaned out the old muddy vapor barrier. We installed our Smart sump pump with a new drainage line to keep all future water out of the crawlspace. We put in a new 6 mil black plastic vapor barrier and now this customer will not have to worry about future water problems.
