John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners called us when their energy bills kept going up. They had looked under their home and found falling and moldy fiberglass insulation and their old vapor barrier was encrusted in mud. We did a full encapsulation to get this home dry and healthy once more. 

This homes large crawlspace had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier installed, while the home didn't suffer from heavy water issues, the homeowners wanted to use this space for storage. To do so, the slope here would need to be flattened, and a material would be needed that would act as both a vapor barrier and wouldn't rip or tear if items were stored on it. To achieve this goal, the homeowners reached out to John's Waterproofing. We leveled out some shelfs for items to be stored on and we used CleanSpace. This 20 mil woven barrier has a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. As a precaution we installed a full drainage solution as well, and insulated the space with TerraBlock and Spray Foam will be added along the foundation walls. 

Fiberglass insulation isn't made to withstand moisture or contact with water. For this reason, it doesn't work in a crawl space. Once water gets sucked into it, it will droop and is prone to mold and mildew. This homes old fiberglass was a mess, and the homes heating and cooling bills were way up. To regain control over their home's energy usage, they were ready to encapsulate. 

Water and debris were all over this crawlspace and causing problems. We replaced the vapor barrier and installed a Smart Sump pump so that water won't be an issue anymore.
