John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had an old sump pump, but it couldn't handle the water leaks. Water leaked through in other spots of the basement and waterproof paint wasn't a long term solution. To solve the issue fully, they called up John's Waterproofing so the issue could be addressed fully and water issues would be a thing of the past. 

Water was constantly seeping through the walls in this basement, causing damage to multiple stored items, as well as creating an unenjoyable environment to be in. After dealing with this issue for many years, the homeowners decided to have their basement waterproofed. They had heard that John's was the leading expert in waterproofing services, so they gave us a call! Our Design Specialist arrived to inspect the basement, so that he could understand the issues, and create a solution. After his inspection, and drawing on his many years of waterproofing experience, he thoughtfully presented his Job Proposal to the homeowners. He recommended installing a Basement WaterGuard System. This System would be installed along the full interior perimeter of the basement, to collect all wall water intrusion, and route it to an UltraSump Pump, to expel it safely away from the home through a discharge line. The floor was also chipped and cracking, so he recommended chipping out the old cracked concrete floor, and pouring a new one in its place. The homeowners agreed with both of these solutions, and were eager for the work to begin.

When our crew of Waterproofing experts arrived, they began by chipping out and removing the old concrete floor. Next, they laid down the WaterGuard collection along the footing of the foundation walls, to catch all wall water seepage. All collected water will be routed to the UltraSump Pump, which will pump the water safely away from the home via a discharge line. With the WaterGuard System now installed and fully operational, the crew built the concrete forms for the new basement floor. After pouring the concrete, they allowed it to harden and then gave it a nice beautiful finish! The concrete was poured right up against the WaterGuard Tunnels, creating a seamless finish. Along the walls we installed our CleanSpace wall system to safely guide water down the walls to be collected. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to address excess moisture in the air. The owners of this home can now enjoy and use their basement for storage without having to worry about water damage being a problem. Thanks to the new concrete floor, the entire basement appears brighter, and its structural stability has been greatly improved as well. With a professionally waterproofed basement, you, too, can enjoy a safer and more useable basement! Call John's today to schedule your Free Waterproofing Estimate!

When it comes to insulating crawl spaces, John's has you covered with our advanced, closed-cell Spray Foam Insulation, which is the only type of insulation that qualifies as an air, thermal, moisture, and vapor barrier, and far surpasses traditional fiberglass insulation in both longevity and effectiveness. For many decades, traditional fiberglass insulation has been installed beneath the subfloor of homes to lessen heat loss through the interior flooring. The concept of fiberglass insulation makes sense, and it does help homes retain heat, but this type of insulation is incredibly vulnerable to damage from countless entities: moisture, rodents, bacteria, air - just to name a few. When fiberglass insulation comes in contact with moisture, it falls apart and rapidly loses all insulating capabilities. The material is made to exisit in a six sided box, making it ineffective in the crawl space. As fiberglass insulation falls apart, it lands on top of the vapor barrier beneath the subfloor, and makes excellent material for rodents to use to make their nests. Again, traditional insulation makes sense, but it will inevitably be damaged, fall apart, and create a welcoming area for rodents to breed and infest - creating toxins in the air, along with a nasty, heavy odor within the crawl space. The main concern with a rodent infestation, is the terribly negative effects that those toxins have on the air quality within the overhead home. As 40% of interior air comes from below, it is absolutely imperative that crawl spaces are free of toxicity. With traditional fiberglass insulation, a healthy crawl space is impossible to sustain, this is where our Spray Foam insulation comes in. Thanks to the experts in the crawl space repair industry, Spray Foam insulation was invented and perfected, and has been proven time and time again - over more than a decade - to offer excellent insulation that does not fall apart, and provides a perfect barrier against vapors, thermals, moisture, and air. When Spray Foam insulation is installed by the Spray Foam Specialists here at John's, it will last the life of the home, and when paired with a crawl space Encapsulation, it has the potential to save homeowners up to 40% per year on heating and cooling costs. Spray Foam is sprayed directly onto foundation walls with meticulous precision, until every crevice and void is filled, creating a perfect, air-tight seal. Because Spray Foam is highly effective at creating a tight seal, it is the best choice of insulation to use inside of an Encapsulated crawl space which is sealed entirely to protect the home. John's makes it easy to upgrade traditional fiberglass subfloor insulation.

Our team installed a Super Sump pump in this homeowner's basement to manage the water coming in from the walls.
