John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had a stirp of crawl space next to their finished basement. They had the basement waterproofed and finished a few years back but had opted out of tackling the crawl space. However, this space was getting some standing water in the lower points and the adjoining wall was much colder, leading the homeowners to wonder how much more they were spending trying to keep the basement a comfortable temperature. The decided to have John's come out and encapsulate it. 

This homes basement was unfinished and suffered from water issues. To transform the space into something dry, stable, and healthy they called up John's Waterproofing. We installed a full interior perimeter WaterGuard drainage system, TripleSafe Sump Pump, CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Dehumidifier. 

This homeowner bought their home with a sump pump system already installed. After years of not worrying about their crawl space, they began noticing a strange smell and decided to inspect it. Unfortunately, they found that their original sump pump wasn't working properly and was overfilling with water into the crawl space. Needing the issue fixed, the homeowner reached out to John's Waterproofing about their options. We informed them that upgrading to the TripleSafe sump pump would be the best long-term solution to keeping their home dry and healthy. The TripleSafe is a three-pump system that is capable of controlling hundreds of gallons of water at a time. It collects any water that tries to seep through and safely pushes it out and away from the homes foundation. This sump pump even has a backup battery-operated pump that will keep the crawl space dry even in the case of a power outage. Overall, making the upgrade to the TripleSafe sump pump was the best solution so now the homeowner can rest knowing their crawl space will stay dry.

Keeping the crawl space healthy is an important part in keeping your home healthy. Over time, water tries to seep through and can cause mold growth and structural damage to the home. In order to help prevent that, John's Waterproofing recommends getting your crawl space encapsulated. Encapsulation is the process of sealing the home off from the earth and regulating the environment so it's less exposed to mold, wood rot, and high humidity. The process of encapsulating involves installing a drainage system using a perforated pipe and a TripleSafe sump pump to control the passage of water. Then, TerraBlock insulation foam and a CleanSpace vapor barrier get installed to seal the space off and prevent anything from getting in that shouldn't. A SaniDry dehumidifier helps pull moisture out and promote cleaner air quality. Lastly, Spray Foam air seals and insulates the space. Once the process is completely installed the home can be protected against moisture damage and remain dry year round.

As you can imagine, homes located on the coast can get very wet! This is a home not far for Lincoln city, in the town of Gleneden Beach. It has standing water, mud, and debris all over! Our crew had it looking like a brand-new place.
