John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homes basement had long been an issue. The space flooded often and the owners had pretty much written the space off. This is until they began wishing they could add that square footage as storage. Now they had a reason to upgrade. They had the plumbing upgraded and had John's out to waterproof the space. We installed our WaterGuard drain system along the interior perimeter of the room. This collects and channels the water to the new TripleSafe sump pump. This than sends all the water safely away from the homes foundation. We then installed our BrightWall paneling along the foundation walls. This will provide a semi-finished look for the space, which is easy to clean and will not rot or mildew. The owners are excited to make use of this space for the first time since purchasing the home. 

Is your crawl space neglected and messy? Are you worried moisture could be damaging the structural components beneath your home? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then give the waterproofing experts at John's a call today to schedule your free inspection! Our Design Specialists are trained to uncover the truth of what is going on inside of your crawl space, and to propose effective, high quality solutions to homeowners. In the case of this home, a water intrusion had caused a large amount of damage to the subfloor. Persistent moisture had caused one of the main subfloor support beams to fail, as well as some of of the subfloor posts. The failure of the beam and posts had caused the entirety of the subfloor to sag, creating sloped floors inside of the home, as well as greatly threatening the integrity of the structure of the home. Waterproofing this crawl space was absolutely necessary to protect this homes stability. Our Design Specialist offered this homeowner the most effective waterproofing solution available - a full encapsulation of their crawl space with foundation work. 

To return stability to this home, our crew of experts removed and replaced the rotten beam with a fresh beam - immediately restoring strength to the subfloor. As for the rotting posts, our crew removed and replaced them with Steel SmartJack Piers. SmartJacks are "jacked up", until the overhead floor is once again level. They will remain in place to support the weight of the home, and are highly adjustable in the future if need be. We than moved onto the waterproofing components, beginning with a full interior drain system with a sump pump. Next, we place two layers of ground coverings over the dirt floor inside of the space. The first layer, TerraBlock, insulates the space. Directly on top of the TerraBlock, and up onto the walls, our 20 Mil CleanSpace vapor barrier is laid down. CleanSpace is interlaced with carbon fibers to provide incredible durability, and enables it to come with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. It is bright and white, and transforms crawl spaces into clean, welcoming areas that can be used for dry storage. An encapsulated crawl space allows homeowners to utilize the vast square footage beneath their homes, without worry of water or rodents inflicting discomfort or damage to themselves or their belongings. To seal the entire outside of the space, our crew covers all original vents, and replaces the original access door with a custom-cut EverLast Access Door. Our EverLast Doors are made of rigid plastic that will never rot or discolor, and they leave no gaps around the edges when shut - preventing rodent intrusion. To create a 100% air-tight seal inside of our encapsulated crawl spaces, Spray Foam insulation is installed directly onto the foundation walls, until every crevice and void is filled. With the crawl space of this home encapsulated, and the subfloor once again stable, this homeowner can enjoy a dry, stable, and healthy home. 

This family was tired of having their finished basement leaking, so they called on their local waterproofing experts at John's for help! When our Design Specialist arrived at their home, he was equipped with many years of experience, and was able to efficiently inspect the basement and offer waterproofing solutions to the owner. As the family was very eager to have the work completed so that they could finish their basement, we scheduled their job.

To waterproof the leaking walls, our crew of waterproofing experts installed 2 of our most effective basement waterproofing systems - ThermalDry and WaterGuard. These 2 systems work together to prevent water from entering your basement. Firstly, the ThermalDry Wall System is installed directly onto the concrete foundation walls. ThermalDry is a 2-sided waterproof barrier that prevents water from damaging sheetrock, while also reflecting heat back into your home - saving homeowners money on energy costs. This durable barrier will route all wall-water intrusion downward, and into our WaterGuard Collection Tunnels installed at the base of the leaking walls. These are held firmly in place with concrete. These tunnels will catch all intrusive water, and route it down to a SuperSump Pump, for immediate expulsion safely away from the home via an underground discharge line. Our ThermalDry and WaterGuard Systems will remain permanently installed behind sheetrock with inspection ports placed periodically for service purposes, promising that water damage to this basement will be a thing of the past. With their basement now waterproofed, this family can refinish their basement. Our professionally installed waterproofing systems are installed with the highest level of integrity and expertise, giving homeowners peace of mind in knowing that the job was done right. Backed by over 50 years of experience in the waterproofing industry, homeowners can count on John's for all of their waterproofing needs, with WOW service every step of the way!

With indoor allergens, this homeowner was concerned about their indoor air quality. They ended up hearing how the crawl space could negatively impact the living spaces air quality, so they figured it wouldn't hurt to have a free inspection for their crawl space so they could see what was going on down there. To improve their homes breathable air, they moved forward with a full encapsulation to keep their home healthier! 

A tall crawl space can be a wonderful storage space, and this homeowner was fully using the area. However, they noticed that the space was damp and some of the items boxes were exhibiting signs of water damage. Wanting to continue using the space as they wish, they knew they would have to find a way to keep this are dry. For this, they contacted John's Waterproofing to learn about encapsulation. The owners loved that the encapsulation seals the crawl space away from exterior factors. We also use a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier in our encapsulations, this has a 25 year warranty against rips and tears, making it very useful for crawl space storage. The woven fibers through this also make it helpful in deterring critters from coming into the space.  The owners were excited to get a full crawl space upgrade!
