John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The customer called due to concerns on a small vapor barrier covered crawl space in the basement. There were a very strong musty smell and moldy shelves that were next to it, which were also raising red flags. We encapsulated the small crawl space and got a dehumidifier down in the daylight basement to regulate any unforeseen future humidity problems. 

As this homes basement is prepped to be finished, the windows would need work. They had some minor leaking issues and were far to small to be used in the event of an emergency evacuation. After we had an installation crew waterproof the space, our finishing crew arrived to upgrade the window and the window well. 

Oftentimes we meet and talk to realtors and homeowners that are just looking to quickly get their house sold and need their house to pass code. Thisvapor barrier had been installed quickly to sell the home but was not properly sealed and quickly filled with debris. A quick Waterproofing job, is not a completed waterproofing job. 

This customer called due to water leaking into his basement continuously. He wanted to use his basement for more storage room but the water and moisture build-up was damaging everything. He gave us a call and our inspector went out and determined that a drainage system would be the best solution. Our crew went in and installed our Super sump pump with the interior drainage system we use. Our SuperSump pump is top rated and has high-volume pumping. It sits in an airtight container that works along with our WaterGuard system. After installing a drainage system the owner no longer has puddling water and could now use the basement for the storage he needed. 

This is a before and after of a crawl space in Portland, OR. We did a full encapsulation with CleanSpace and installed a SmartSump pump which has a Zoeller 1/3 hp cast-iron pump, an UltraSump pump that can pump 2,018 gallons per hour, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a smart drain and we repaired the posts using SmartJack. Crawl space is now healthy and dry for a long time to come.
