Encapsulation Transformed this Crawl Space- Salem, OR

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. 

Replacing Rotting Wooden Posts- Salem, OR

This homeowners floors were beginning to sag and she wanted to find the cause of this issue, so she called us up. We went out and performed a free thorough inspection of the crawl space and found that most of the posts had moisture damage and were starting to get wood rot. This made them unstable and was causing the floors in the home to begin to sag. This homeowner was ready to find the best solution so she scheduled her project. First, we began by removing all of the debris, and some fiberglass insulation. We then replaced all of the wooden posts that had water damage with our SmartJack system. These are our adjustable supplemental steel piers that help add support and lift the floor back up securely. Now that everything is stable and secure, we then dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space, in which we install a three inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to secure a safe passage for water to drain to the lowest point. At this low point we install our SuperSump Plus sump pump that will collect this water and pump it outside of the house away from the foundation through a discharge line. To finish this project we Install are 6 black vapor barrier to prevent moisture from making its way through the floor of the crawl space. The floors in this home are no longer sagging and is secured with our SmartJack system.
