John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The customers had a raccoon visit their home in the spring. Which ended up in the vapor barrier and insulation being torn to pieces. 

This home suffered from high heating and cooling costs. Upon inspection they found their old fiberglass insulation falling in pieces in the crawlspace. To address this we did a full encapsulation to protect their home and lower their bills. 

Mold was breeding behind the insulation in this crawl space and excessive ground moisture and open crawl space vents only added to the problem. Our encapsulation system and Sanidry CX will ensure that never happens again. 

The plan for this basement remodel was interrupted due to the homeowner finding water intrusion while demoing. This lead them to give John's a call to find them a permanent solution. We went out and thoroughly inspected the basement and found the problem areas and began to work up an estimate that will effectively address the issues. After talking with the homeowner and going over the game plan, we began this project.

First we use a jack hammer to create a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement, within this we install our WaterGuard. This system will collect all of the water that enters from the walls as well as ground water and drain it to the lowest point. At this low point, we install our TripleSafe Sump that will gather all of this collected water and pump it outside of the home and away from the foundation through a discharge line. Outside, we then install our LawnScape Outlet to keep debris out of the discharge line. Along the walls we install our ThermalDry radiant barrier that will help direct moisture from the walls down into the perimeter drainage system. This material also helps keep a comfortable temperature. To ensure the spaces relative humidity remains healthy, we than place a SaniDry dehumidifier in the basement. Now that the water issue is permanently addressed, this homeowner can now confidently finish remodeling their basement. 

Not only did we make this a large storage space for the family, we removed all the unnecessary pipings and debris. Now the house has clean air and increased square footage which increases their home value!
