John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

 This crawlspace in Salem Oregon had inches of standing water that was rotting the foundation of the home and creating a pretty significant mold issue. After the inspection revealed the rot in the space 

This crawl space had an odd odor that was noticeable from the living spaces. Worried about what could be lurking beneath their floorboards, they called John's Waterproofing. To solve their crawl space problems, we removed the ruined old fiberglass and damaged old vapor barrier. We installed a drainage system, TripleSafe Sump pump, TerraBlock insulation, CleanSpace, Spray Foam insulation, and a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

This homeowner investigated their crawl space and found high humidity levels and rodent activity. They contacted John's Waterproofing about fixing the moisture levels against the sub-floor to prevent mold and mildew growing. This led to doing a full encapsulation to control the atmosphere in the crawl space which helps deter rodents. Our encapsulation can do this with the CleanSpace woven fibers making it difficult for rodents to chew through and the environment unpleasant for them as it maintains the humidity levels. The after photo here shows before the spray foam insulation has been applied to the foundation walls.

We always make sure that our pumps and everything else we install is running up to speed when we go out to service our customers' systems. But, we also take pride in how our work looks. You will always have a cleaner looking pump when we are done servicing it. 

This customer tried to fix their crawlspace on their own with a sump pump in a five-gallon bucket. But, water was still collecting in multiple areas of the crawlspace and further causing more moisture. So they gave us a call to install a new drainage system to properly drain the water out of the crawlspace and to add in a vapor barrier.
