John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The exterior of the foundation walls of this home had started to erode, due to hydrostatic pressure against the walls caused by accumulated ground water. To stop further erosion, and to protect the strength of the foundation walls, our crew of experts installed an drain system to catch all ground water before it could reach the foundation walls. To do this, they dug a shallow trench, beginning at the back of the home, and wrapping around to the front. Inside of the trench, they laid down perforated pipe, to collect all ground water, and then covered this with decorative gravel, until the trench was filled. Covering the trench with gravel will help gather and route rain water into the system. They made sure that the drainage was installed at a downhill angle, to utilize the force of gravity to send all collected water downhill, to be expelled away from the home. At the expulsion point, we attached a LawnScape Outlet, to evenly disperse the water into the lawn. Thanks to the installation of this system, ground water will no longer be able to accumulate and create hydrostatic pressure against the foundation walls of this home. The experts here at John's have successfully restored structural integrity and stability to this family home. These homeowners can rest assured that the safety and long-term investment of their home is now protected by the installation of high-quality waterproofing components designed to prevent the disastrous affects that water damage can cause when left un-mediated. 

This homes heating and cooling costs had been rising over the years. The owners first thought this was due to the cost of living going up. But after chatting with some neighbors, they learned theirs was going up more than others. To search for ways to lower their energy costs, they glanced into the crawl space. They discovered the old fiberglass insulation was drooping and pieces were laying on the ground, soggy with water. To remedy this problem, they contacted John's Waterproofing so they could learn about encapsulation. This process uses insulation which is made to last in the crawl space. We use TerraBlock along the dirt floor and apply spray foam along the foundation walls. These insulate the crawl space, bringing it into the homes envelope and reducing the homes energy costs. 

This crawlspace was dirty, musty and full of stagnant wet air. Our team came in and removed the debris from the crawlspace, provided appropriate drainage and completed the system with our patented SaniDry dehumidifier. Now the air in the home is cleaner and healthier and the crawlspace is safe from mold and rot. Next week this crawlspace will receive spray foam insulation to better regulate the homes temperatures and increase energy efficiency throughout the home.

Our homeowner was for a real finished look to their semi-finished basement space. Our crews came in and installed our patented WaterGuard system, wall systems, and new flooring. This space is now able to be used year-round and has a nice finished look that they can use year-round. 

Just covering the walls and adding flooring can often change the entire look of a space.
