John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a different company come in and install a basement waterproofing system. Unfortunately, their system did not hold and this basement became overflowed with water. The homeowner wanted a solution that would control the passage of water and have it directed out of their basement. They called John's Waterproofing to discuss their options and how it would be possible. We suggested doing a full basement waterproofing system, which includes installing a WaterGuard drainage system. To install the WaterGuard, first we have to jackhammer a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. Once that is done, then we can install our WaterGuard in the trench. It is lined with gravel in order to filter the water that comes in. It is then connected to a TripleSafe sump pump which collects all the water that the WaterGuard sends in and pushes it out and away from the homes foundation. The WaterGuard has holes on top that can even collect water that stream down the foundation walls through cracks. We put inspection ports at the top of the system so that when we come to do annual maintenance it is an easy check to see if there are any clogs or problems without having to completely dig the system up. Once the WaterGuard is fully installed, our team covers it completely with concrete to give it a discreet look. Now the basement has a drainage system installed that will collect any water that tries to seep through and send it away from the homes foundation. 

This homes basement had some water stains along the foundation walls and the owners kept all items out of this basement due to the water that would puddle. To make this space usable once again, they called up John's Waterproofing and discussed options, landing on a full waterproofing system to keep the space dry year round. We installed a WaterGuard drain system around the interior perimeter which collects and guides the water to the lowest point. Here we install our TripleSafe sump pump to then pump the water safely away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. The space will remain unfinished so the walls had a CleanSpace wall system installed. To complete the job we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the moisture in the air properly controlled. 

The concrete foundation wall on the front side of this home was crumbling and falling forward so severely, that the homeowners had to place sand bags in front of the wall to prevent it from falling completely out of place. This is a serious issue, and one that needed immediate repair. After researching to find the best Structural Repair Company in their area, they decided to call John's. They were impressed by our reviews as well as the fact that John's has been in business for over fifty years. Our Design Specialist arrived, and after inspecting the crumbling foundation wall, he put the homeowners minds at ease with an effective and permanent solution! He proposed repairing the wall by first removing all of the damaged parts, and then pouring a new concrete extension onto the remaining sound portion of the wall - returning complete strength and integrity to the foundation. The homeowners were very pleased with this solution, and gave us approval to begin the work. When our Structural Crew arrived, they began by removing all of the sand bags as well as the crumbling parts of the wall, leaving behind only the strong portions. Next, they attached a heavy-duty vapor barrier directly onto the original foundation wall, to ensure that no hydrostatic pressure would enter the new wall extension. In addition to the vapor barrier, we also attached rods of rebar directly onto the original wall, to firmly hold the new extension in place. To make certain that the new wall would be poured tightly against the original wall, we built our concrete forms using a technique of pressure. With the forms in place, we poured the new wall, allowed it to solidify, then removed the forms. The final step was scrubbing the new wall clean, for a nice finished appearance! The formerly crumbling foundation wall is strong once again, and these homeowners no longer have to worry about the possibility of the front of their home crashing down into the ground. The experts here at John's are always thrilled to restore safety and stability to family homes!

Brightwall Basement Wall Systems, along with Sanidry Dehumidifier, Waterguard and a sump pump was installed in the basement, and CleanSpace was installed in the crawlspace. This will keep both areas dry and looking nice!

This home in North East Salem had a crawl space full of water, causing the beams to sag and fail to hold up the foundation properly. This led to cracks in their inside walls. Installation of our Cleanspace encapsulation system and smart jacks helped their crawl space become a healthy, dry, and easy to work in environment.
