John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Never be unprepared for a power outage again with the Cummins All Home Generator. This homeowner was getting worried about the upcoming Summer season after experiencing a rise in power outages within their community. They found that the were losing money on perishable products in their fridge and freezers and wanted a solution to keep their home operating no matter the circumstance. After calling John's Waterproofing, we informed them that the Cummins All Home Generator would be able to keep everything in their home powered on until the utility power could come back on. These are installed on the outside of the home in a steel protective case to be storm prepared. They are equipped with automatic starting capabilities so that sensors go off once the power in the home goes out and within 10 seconds it turns on. The All Home Generators are also the quietest systems on the market, making them neighborhood friendly and aesthetic. Now, this homeowner will be prepared to keep their home running efficiently and will never have to be without power.  

The homeowner sought assistance from John's Waterproofing after attempting a DIY project on the crawl space posts. They knew their home was not stable and had tried to support it using two 2x4s, a tree log, and a bottle jack. During the free inspection, our Design Specialists found 8 posts floating above their footings. Additionally, a wooden beam above head was warped and improperly supported; the crew knew it was time to take action and create a more permanent and secure solution to stabilize the home. Our Structural Experts arrived at the home and replaced the 8 floating wood and DIY posts with steel SmartJacks. SmartJacks are designed to best fit the structure and provide significant support, and can be adjusted over time if needed. The team then removed and installed a new wooden beam above. Once added, our Structural Experts decided to provide optimal support with the addition of 5 SmartJacks along the replaced beam. After the project completion, the homeowner no longer has to worry about the safety and instability of their home, thanks to our team here at John's Waterproofing!

This homeowner was looking for a solution to take their filthy, dirty and pest infested crawl space into a healthy and stable one. They called John's to schedule their free visit with us. One of our system design specialist went out and thoroughly inspected the crawl space. Afterwards, our design specialist met with the homeowners to go over the best options for them and the plan to permanently transform their crawl space. They decided to move forward with the estimate and we began the project by removing all of the debris and old damaged vapor barrier. Since this crawl space did not have much water intrusion, we installed our SmartDrain. This system will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm and will drain the water to a drywell underneath the encapsulation. Next, we make sure to cover all of the vents to prevent water from entering. We then, install our TerraBlock system onto the dirt floor of the crawl space to provide an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. On top of the TerraBlock, we install our CleanSpace system. It is also anchored into the foundation walls up to the joists, then sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape. To keep the crawl spaces humidity controlled, we install our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will eliminate musty odors by drying and filtering the air. To finish this project, we install our foam insulation. This is sprayed onto the foundation walls up to the rim joists and will expand, filling every crack and void to guarantee a complete airtight seal. Now that this crawl space is transformed, the homeowners can be sure their home is protected for years to come. 

This homeowner found some concerns with the support in their home and decided to inspect their crawl space. In certain areas, doors weren't closing properly and the floor felt like it was sagging. This was occurring due to the the wooden posts in the crawl space being water damaged and deteriorating. Once the wooden posts absorb moisture, they begin to rot and mold. This makes them unstable and unable to properly support the home. At John's Waterproofing, we are able to fix this issue with SmartJacks. These are steel adjustable piers designed to stabilize the home in areas where the wooden posts no longer can. They are made of materials that won't rot or grow mold, which helps make them durable during any situation. Each year they can also be adjusted to ensure the home is staying steady and supported. Now, this homeowner feels much safer in their home knowing that the foundation is supported and secure. 

These homeowners were concerned that their crawl space was in poor condition when noticing a constant musty smell and cold floors. Wanting to get to the bottom of this problem, they reached out to John's to schedule a free inspection. After our system design specialist was done, he met with the owners and went over the best plan to create a healthy, dry and clean crawl space. Our design specialist went over the encapsulation process with the homeowners and they then moved forward with the project. We began by removing all of the debris, including fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. Next, we dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space and in which we laid down a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for water to drain to our SuperSump Plus pump at the lowest point. We installed a discharge line outside and connected it to the sump, to pump the water away from the homes foundation. Then, we installed our TerraBlock system on the dirt floor of the crawl space creating an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. On top of our TerraBlock, we installed our CleanSpace system. We isolated every wooden post with a bottle jack to insert the CleanSpace over the concrete footing and seal it with our waterproof tape. We anchored this to the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and sealed it completely. During this process we also covered all the vents to prevent outside air from entering. To keep the environment controlled, we installed our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air and will keep the home at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly, we finished by installing our foam insulation. This was sprayed all along foundation walls, up to the rim joists while filling every crack and void to ensure a complete airtight seal. This will not only help with insulating the home but it will protect it from water and pest intrusion. Encapsulation is an investment in this homes health and longevity.
