Water in the crawlspace in Salem Oregon

This home looked amazing, but the crawlspace was a dark wet and unhealthy space. Our crews transformed the space into a beautiful and usable space. 

Crawl Space Face Lift - Salem, OR

If you're looking to have your crawl space efficiently cleaned up and waterproofed - John's has got you covered with our Pipe, Pump, Plastic system! Our expert crews have been installing the PPP system in crawl spaces throughout the PNW for over 50 years, making us able to install this system both quickly and effectively. With the PPP System, homeowners get the best of both worlds - a professionally waterproofed crawl space to protect their family and their home, as well as a significant aesthetic face lift of the space. First, our crew removes all of the old debris from the space, wiping the slate clean to begin installation of the PPP components. After the space is clean, our crew installs 3" Perforated Piping around the interior of the space, to collect and route all collected water intrusion to a heavy-duty Sump Pump, installed at the lowest point inside of the space. When water reaches the Pump, it will be pumped away from the home through an underground discharge line. Lastly, to prevent water from seeping into the space through the ground or foundation walls, our crew installs a 6 Mil Black Plastic Vapor Barrier. This final waterproofing component protects the crawl space and subfloor from standing water, and leaves the space shiny and clean! To protect the health and stability of your family and your home, a waterproofed, clean crawl space is an absolute necessity, especially for those of us living in the persistently wet climate of the PNW.

Mold Growing On Beams in The Crawlspace - Salem Oregon

Not all crawlspaces look gruesome (although not necessarily pretty) this does not mean they do not have issues. This space had moisture which was causing mold to grow on their homes beams eating the foundation. Now thanks to crawlspace encapsulation with the use of our Clean space this family has a clean crawlspace where mold cannot grow. They also chose the Silverglo rigid foam wall insulation. This helps to increase the homes energy savings and general performance. We were happy to be able to give them a healthy encapsulated crawlspace as well as reduced heating and cooling bills.

Wrapping posts properly ensures that water does not invade your space. This is taken from each side of the same corridor so show off posts as well as visibility. 

Water in the crawlspace in Salem Oregon

When Robin first inspecte this house, he knew there were big problems. Not only was the vapor barrier torn and not covering the ground, improper drain lines were directing water under the home. This excessive water lead to rot in already improperly positioned posts. Our team proceeded to install a proper drainage system, replace rotted post, and encapsulate the space. this  made it dry and healthy for our home owners.
