This customer did not have a properly sealed crawlspace entrance and unfortunately, outside elements had gotten in their crawlspace. Our inspector went out and recommended replacing the entrance to the crawlspace. Our crew installed an EverLast crawlspace door that can never rot away. It is completely sealed to the foundation so you don't have to worry about leaking water or other pests getting in. This customer was so relieved to have their crawlspace sealed properly and it has a nice clean finish to the outside of their home.
After our team finished installing our patented CleanSpace system we could just leave this ugly entry as the first sight of our new beautiful crawlspace. Manuel and his team installed an Everlast door to not only make the entry more appealing, but also easier to access.
This homeowner had their crawl space worked on by a different company and started noticing that water was still intruding. They decided to reach out to John's Waterproofing about upgrading their system so that the crawl space would stay dry. Upon inspection, we discovered the original sump pump wasn't working properly and we suggested a Pipe Pump Plastic system that would keep the space dry without having to worry. The homeowner agreed and we got started. To begin, we needed to remove the previous vapor barrier because it had been destroyed by water flooding in and bringing outside dirt and debris. We even discovered water damage on some of the wooden posts supporting the home because there was no proper drainage system installed. After the vapor barrier was removed, we then installed a new drainage system. This involves laying a perforated pipe along the interior perimeter of the space and connecting it to a new SuperSump Plus sump pump. These two work together to collect water and safely push it out and away from the homes foundation. Lastly, to further protect against water damage, we installed a new vapor barrier. We overlap each seam of the liner so that no groundwater is capable of seeping over top of it and getting into the crawl space. It is installed along the base, up the foundation walls, and between the concrete footing and wooden posts. The goal of the new vapor barrier is to be able to isolate and protect against water from seeping through and causing more structural damage to the home. Now, this homeowner doesn't have to worry about their crawl space flooding.
This homeowner was having issues with water and rodents in the crawl space and wanted a permanent solution, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing to get the job done. After our design specialist finished the free inspection and estimate, he met with the homeowner and went over some options for this space. They decided that an encapsulation was the best route. To begin, we remove all the debris from the space. Next, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space, in which we lay down a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock. This secures a passage for the water to safely drain to the SuperSump Plus Pump. We install a discharge line outside to drain the water away from the homes foundation. We then install our TerraBlock system directly on the dirt floor of the crawl space. On top of our TerraBlock system, we install our CleanSpace. This goes all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and is sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our heavy duty waterproof tape. All the vents in this space are then sealed to prevent outside air from entering. Then to keep the environment at a healthy relative humidity, we install our SaniDry Sedona, which eliminates damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air all while promoting healthy air throughout the home. Lastly, our foam insulation is sprayed along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists creating a complete air tight seal, ensuring protection from water, pests and rodents for years to come.
This basement area was once a dirty place for the water heater. Our team fixed their leaky walls, installed ThermalDry and a Sump Pump. This ugly, dark area was once dreaded. Now it is not only beautiful but has provided the family with more living space and functionality. It's amazing what a transformation wall systems can make
