Crawl Space Repair in Portland, OR

This homeowner wanted to create extra storage space so they went to their crawl space and when they saw the condition it was in, they called us up to set up their free estimate and inspection. Our system design specialist met with the homeowners to go over the best game plan to achieve a dry, healthy and stable crawl space. They went forward with the estimate and scheduled the project.  We begin by removing all of the debris along with the vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. Next, we install our SmartDrain system since there was not much water in this crawl space. This system will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak and with an audible alarm and will drain it away to a drywell under the CleanSpace until they can address it. We then install our TerraBlock system onto the dirt floor to create an insulated barrier between the home and earth. This will block any moisture that is trying to make its way up through the ground. Afterwards, we install our CleanSpace system on top of the TerraBlock, on the foundation walls up to the rim joists and on the footing of the wooden posts which is then sealed with our waterproof tape. We cover all of the vents to ensure not outside air comes in. To keep this environment controlled, we install our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. This also helps keep the home at a healthy relative humidity. To finish, we install our spray foam insulation onto the foundation walls, making sure to fill every crack and void to guarantee an airtight seal, completely protecting and creating a dry, stable and healthy home.

Crawl Space Smells Musty and Damp Next to Partial Basement - Portland, OR

This home had both a crawl space and basement. The basement was used as a workspace, and the adjoining crawl space was emitting a damp odor. To address this, the homeowners were looking for a waterproofing solution. They called up John's Waterproofing to receive their free inspection and discuss options. To address the crawl space we installed an encapsulation, with waterproofing in the basement space. 

SuperSump Plus Keeps Homes Dry - Portland, OR

No homeowner wants to experience water intrusion. It can cause all kinds of issues to the home like mold growth, wood rot, and even impact the structural integrity of the home. At John's Waterproofing, we take pride in ensuring water can't get into basements by installing a proper drainage system that keeps water out. This involves installing a SuperSump Plus sump pump and WaterGuard drainage pipe. The WaterGuard system gets installed first by jackhammering a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. It is lined with gravel so that water can easily filter through and help to prevent clogging. The purpose of this system is so it can collect water that tries to enter and act as a safe passageway to the SuperSump Plus sump pump. This sump pump is what takes all that collected water and can securely push it out and away from the homes foundation. It is designed with a heavy duty Zoeller pump so that it is capable of controlling mass amounts of water at a time. With these two systems installed, we can ensure that the basement will stay dry and healthy all year round. 

Cracked and leaking basement in SW Portland OR

Woody had sealed off this small area of his house and enclosed it to cover a wet and unsightly basement wall. After enough cracking and mold, he decided it needed to be handled. Having already used us to encapsulate his crawlspace, we were the first and only call this homeowner made. We repaired the crack and installed our lovely Bright Wall panels to finish the space and make it functional for the home owner.
