John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The customer is selling home and needs crawl space finished before sold

This homes crawlspace was dusty and had water logged fiberglass insulation which was growing mold in the fiberglass as well as one the wooden foundation. To absolve these issues we removed the old insulation, applied MoldX2 as needed, and installed a full crawlspace encapsulation system to get this homes crawlspace dry and healthy! 

When a homes crawlspace suffers from post damage, the floors will slope, bounce, and doorways can stick. This home suffered those issues, and while the homeowners tried to shimmy the posts up, the issue kept coming back. To solve the problems we installed SmartJacks as needed and did a full encapsulation to protect the home from water damage coming back. 

The owner of this property had reached out to John's Waterproofing in 2018 about water coming into their basement. They thought the problem would be able to go away on its own and decided to cancel the basement waterproofing scheduled. In 2023, they reached out again about the same issue but still weren't ready to commit doing the project with the hopes it would once again dry up and go away. After contacting John's Waterproofing a third time in 2024, they decided to do the basement waterproofing as the issue persisted each year during rainy seasons. Now with the basement having a significant amount of water damage, we suggested installing a drainage system. This involves installing a perforated pipe along the interior perimeter of the basement that can collect and push water to a TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump is designed to safely collect water and push it away from a homes foundation, thus protecting against floods or moisture damage. To protect the foundation walls, the CleanSpace wall system is installed. This is a 20 mil thick woven vapor barrier that is designed to seal the basement walls and prevent water from seeping in. After completing the basement waterproofing, the owner was impressed and could see the difference in their newly dry basement. 

You can never gain control of an interior space if you keep letting unconditioned, outside air into it. Most crawl space doors leak air and ones that are below grade leak water, and many people don't know that there is a real solution for this problem. These homeowners reached out because this crawl space was in need of several repairs and their exterior access was their main concern. We went out and thoroughly inspected it, and worked with the homeowners in created a game plan that will address all of these issues. We began the project and installed a full encapsulation with a perimeter drainage system and sealed all of the vents. We then installed our TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace 20 mil liner in order to keep the crawl space dry, stable and healthy. This pairs with Spray Foam along the foundation walls and a SaniDry dehumidifier to maintain a healthy relative humidity throughout the space. To provide a clean and convenient access to the crawl space, we install our Turtl system. This is made of plastic so it will never rot, rust, or corrode and is built to last. This system combines the exterior crawl space access and an airtight door in one sturdy unit. It will keep animals, leaves, and weeds out of the well and one of the most important features is the ability for it to lock. It is fastened to the foundation with concrete screws. Now when the homeowners want to enter their crawl space they just lift the door up and go in through the clean inside of the Turtl.
