John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Is your crawl space filthy, wet, and stinky? If so, you're not alone, and John's is here to help with professional encapsulation! Our expert crews have specialized in waterproofing for over 50 years, and we take great pride in transforming forgotten, nasty crawl spaces, into pristine, dry, and healthy areas. Encapsulated crawl spaces are sealed entirely, to prevent water, rodents, and debris from entering, while maintaining clean, healthy air. Our crews carefully install the highest quality, professional-grade waterproofing and insulating components available, to ensure a lasting, effective encapsulation to protect your home from water damage, and to preserve the health of your family. Crawl spaces that are not waterproofed, leave homes at terrible risk of structural damage, while also negatively impacting the health of families, as 40% of interior air, comes from below. This means that whatever is beneath your home, is also inside of it. Wet crawl spaces are breeding grounds for mold, bacteria, and rodents - all of which are toxic. With an encapsulated Crawl space, toxic air becomes a thing of the past. A heavy-duty dehumidifier is installed to clean and filter the air, removing all moisture, allergens, and toxins, while maintaining a safe relative humidity, and preventing mold growth. Thanks to the 100% air-tight seal of an encapsulated crawl space, as well as the operation of the dehumidifier, and several other waterproofing components, the air both beneath of, and inside of the home remains healthier. In order to protect your home and family from the devastating effects of water damage.

For many years, rain water accumulation on this driveway had caused damage to this homes foundation walls, as well as the retaining wall off to the side of the home. Damage from rainfall to homes in the PNW is exceedingly common, as our climate is persistently wet. Homes that are not professionally waterproofed, are at great risk of significant damage by way of rain fall, and the accumulation of ground water around the home. This is where John's comes in! We have been your leading, local experts in all things waterproofing, here in the PNW, for over 50 years. Our crews are professional, experienced, and never tire of helping families thrive in dry, clean, and stable homes. In instances such as this, where rain water accumulation is occurring predominantly on the driveway, installation of a Trench Drain is recommended in order to protect the homes foundation from serious water damage. When foundation walls are not protected from water intrusion, structural damage to the home can become imminent, as water both erodes the soil that the walls depend upon for stability - causing shifting of the walls, and also exerts hydrostatic pressure build-up causing cracking, bowing, and deterioration. All of these serious issues can be avoided with the installation of a Trench Drain, installed by the waterproofing experts here at John's.

First, we cut a shallow, narrow trench into the existing concrete driveway. Inside of the trench, we place our steel Trench Drain Tunnels, to collect all rain water that comes down in that area. All collected water will be routed downhill, and expelled safely away from the home via an underground discharge line. After the Trench Drain is placed, and the proper downhill sloping is verified, we pour fresh concrete around the Trench Drain, to hold the system firmly in place. Worried about clogs? Clogging and obstructions in the system are not a concern, as our Trench Drain system was designed to be user friendly, with an easy to clean and remove cover. As this system utilizes gravity for water expulsion, rather than electricity, upkeep and functionality remain simple and straightforward for the life of the system. 

The WaterGuard will sit right where that previous water was leaking in from catching it and sending out of the basement keeping this basement dry and healthy for years to come!

This home had water condensation build up on their walls, to waterproof we did a WaterGuard drainage system along the parameter and BrightWall paneling to keep water diverted down to the new drainage system. 

We replaced this old sump pump that was not working properly with our Supersump Sump pump. with this top of the line sumppump working properly, along with The Cleanspace Encapsulation and the Sanidry Dehumidifier, this crawlspace/basement combination will now stay dry.
