John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was coming up and through the porous floor of this basement, and leaving dark, damp water spots in the corners. To solve this issue, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage system, a SmartSump, and a discharge line that collects the water and sends it a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. 

This homeowner called us up, their crawlspace had fiberglass insulation and a 6 Mil vapor barrier. There was no water or mold or rot visible, but there was an obvious smell. Upon inspection we found mold spores in the wood that was being hidden by the fiberglass insulation. This insulation was holding any condensation up against the homes wooden foundation causing mold to take hold. We removed this, applied Mold X2 as needed and encapsulated the space to provide proper insulation and protection for this home. 

This crawlspace kept having to be repaired. The homeowners were tired of needing to reattach the old fiberglass and replace the 6 Mil vapor barrier. They were looking for a long term solution and decided it was time to encapsulate the crawlspace! They are amazing with how clean and bright the area is and look forward to not having to stress over this area again. 

This home had an old sump pump that was installed by a previous homeowner. But it stopped working and the crawl space was a mess. To transform the space into a dry and healthy foundation once again, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. After the pump was installed in 2017, the homeowners have us out for their annual service visit each year and they are pleased to know it is holding up and keeping the home protected against water issues. 

These homeowners took one look into their crawl space and knew they needed to transform it but didn't know where to begin, so they called up John's to schedule a free inspection. Their main concern was the air quality in their home. After a thorough inspection, our system design specialist met with them to discuss how to create healthy and clean air within their home. When they heard the game plan, they moved forward with the project. We start by removing all of the debris, which includes the damaged vapor barrier and old fiberglass insulation. This crawl space did not have much water intrusion, so we install our SmartDrain system that will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm and will drain the water away into a drywell underneath the crawl space until the homeowner can address it. Next, we install our TerraBlock system on the dirt floor, creating an insulated barrier to separate the home from the earth. Then, we install our CleanSpace system which is a heavy 20 mil-thick-liner on top of the TerraBlock, along the foundation walls, and up to the rim joists and it is sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape.  We also make sure to seal off all the vents to keep outside air from entering. We then install our EverLast door to create a weatherproof exterior access into the crawl space.. To control the environment, we install our SaniDry Sedona- this will keep the home at a healthy relative humidity, and will eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air. This dehumidifier will help improve the air quality in the entire home. To finish this project, we install our foam insulation. It is sprayed all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists, filling every crack and void to ensure an airtight seal. With this finished encapsulation, this crawl space is now healthy, dry and clean and looks brand new.
