This homeowner had dealt with water coming through the basement walls for years, and had been applying a waterproof paint every few years. The paint isn't a long-term solution and does crack and come off as water pushes up against it. The homeowner was ready for a solution that looked nice and could stand the test of time. This is how they came to find John's Waterproofing online. They gave us a call, and after their inspection, were ready to have their basement waterproofed the right way!
This homes crawl space was dusty and messy, the walls had efflorescence on them. Unable to go under the home on their own, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing to address this space properly. They wanted to ensure it would be protected long term, so they wouldn't need to worry about water issues, so they had a full encapsulation installed.
This customer was wanting a quick solution to the water coming into the basement so they could finish it. Not only did we solve the water issue by installing our Waterguard system in just two days but we also helped get them on the right track to finishing it by putting in our Thermaldry wall system and our Thermaldry floor matting. These products help to waterproof and insulate the walls and floor, making the basement perfectly prepped for finishing.
Note: the floor matting is not pictured in the after photo since it was done at a later time.
Standing water from a small spring that ran thru this crawlspace was causing quite the problem. What vapor barrier that was in place was pushed off to the side and mud was getting everywhere. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation system with a Super Sump pump that will pump water from the spring out to the new piping we laid to a safe spot far from the house. The homeowner now doesn't have to worry about standing water again in his crawlspace.
One of the many things we do is crawlspace entrances. This entrance before was hard to get into and wasn't sealed properly and allowed for pests and air into the crawlspace. We use an airtight vent cover that stops air flow so the crawlspace can be dry and healthy. It will never rot or rust because it can not be damaged by moisture. The homeowner loved how nice it looked after being done and was glad that it will be a lot easier to get in and out of the crawlspace as needed.
