John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

Customers were curious about the benefits of crawl space encapsulation 

The homeowner was having an inspection done. The inspector suggested they get their crawlspace sealed due to the fiberglass insulation falling to bits. 

This customer had a daylight basement that he was finally ready to use, but water would come through the basement cracks and be causing water damage to the existing walls that were in there. He wanted to redo the basement this coming summer but had seen our ad in the newspaper and knew he needed to get this water problem handled. Our crew installed our SuperSump sump pump that is a high-volume pumping system. It comes with a built-in alarm that will sound off if in an event water levels reach above the pumping capacity. It is an airtight lid so it is child safe and sits flush with the ground so you're not losing space. We also installed our ThermalDry Wall that works well with concrete basement walls to keep heat in and also drains the water down to the drainage system. Thanks to our fast working crew this homeowner was able to move plans up sooner than summer to start his basement remodel.
