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. 

With every step in the living room, the floor bounced, and the surrounding doors would stick in their frames. This Mulino home was slowly suffering and needed support quickly. Homeowners reached out to John's Waterproofing for a free inspection, and we scheduled to send someone out. When one of our Design Specialists came out to check out the home, the problem couldn't go unnoticed. Down in the crawl space, several wooden support posts were floating. When the home's support posts shift and begin to float, they no longer provide the stability needed to support the structure above. We drew up a plan alongside the homeowners, and the project was soon underway. 

Our Structural Experts arrived at the home and got to work right away. Each floating post was systematically removed from the crawl space. Then, the crew installed a total of 40 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space, providing permanent and reliable support to the home. SmartJacks are galvanized steel posts that attach to the wooden beams on the subfloor and can be adjusted to the perfect fit needed in the crawl space. The home was finally lifted back into place and given the support it needed. Now, the homeowners can enjoy their home without feeling the floor beneath them sink.

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.
