No More Water: Basement Waterproofing - Portland, OR

This homeowner reached out to John's Waterproofing after realizing that water was getting into their basement through the walls every time there was heavy rainfall. They wanted a solution that would protect their basement throughout the wet seasons and still look nice. They agreed that doing a basement waterproofing system would perfect to solve their problems. This is when we install a drainage system along the interior perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is a pipe system that goes beneath the foundation floors that catches water and gives it a safe passageway to flow through without getting into the basement. It is lined with gravel to filter the water through, preventing clogging and is covered over with concrete to be discreet. It connects to a TripleSafe sump pump that works to push the water from the WaterGuard out and away from the homes foundation. We then installed a CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. This white liner gives the appearance of a clean look while also protecting the walls from moisture. It is made with woven fibers that seal to the walls with waterproof tape. This vapor barrier guides moisture from the walls down to the drainage system to be pushed away from the home. With all these steps completed, this basement is no longer at risk of water seeping through during any season and also has a clean look for the homeowner.

This huge basement had always been an eye sore and the damp and sporadically leaking walls left the family not wanting to use the space. After installing our Waterguard system and Bright Wall panels, the space had a far more polished look and was a space the family would use. 

Replacing Visqueen in a Crawlspace in Portland, Oregon

In this job, our foreman Tim completed a quick replacement of a torn and wet vapor barrier. In addition to the vapor barrier replacement, Tim and his crew also installed an Ultra Sump system in order to handle water in the crawlspace. This helped ensure a dry and healthy space for our homeowner.

High Energy Bill Due to Crawlspace; Portland, OR

This customer called because he had heard of the benefits of having your crawlspace encapsulated. He wanted warmer floors and better heating in his home. Our crews went in and removed the old vapor barrier and debris, they also replaced some wooden posts due to some damage. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and tear resistant. This customer noticed a difference with how much warmer his floors were. He was also relieved to start seeing a difference in his energy bills due to air not leaking out the crawlspace.
