This home was in need of a full crawl space revamp. It had a number of issues occurring, one of which was its exterior entryway. We installed a full encapsulation system, and upgraded the exterior entryway to a Turtl. This will keep water from getting under the home, as well as block out critters.
This homeowner decided to test the Radon levels in the air within their home and discovered they were at 4.7 pCi/L. This metric system helps to identify the levels of Radon gas in the air and when you are at risk. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that if the Radon levels are above 4.0, then a mitigation system is necessary. This level is equivalent to smoking 8 cigarettes a day. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas from the soil of the earth that is incredibly harmful to breathe in. It has been proven to be the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. At John's Waterproofing, we offer Radon mitigation systems that pull the gas out of the soil and pushes it out towards the atmosphere. This helps prevent those living in the home from breathing the gas in and being put at risk.
This home's old 6 Mil vapor barrier had mud caked on it. To clean it up and help it last we installed a drainage system and installed a new 6 Mil vapor barrier to protect this home.
The homeowners heating and cooling bills were steadily rising, they soon found out that this was in large, due to their crawlspace being uninsulated, and open to the elements. After a full crawlspace encapsulation, they could feel the difference it made!
This crawlspace was a nightmare. Between the water and falling insulation, the entire space was cold and sending drafty air up through the floor boards constantly. Our team came and removed all of the debris and installed our patented clean space along with Silverglo wall insulation. Since then the homeowners have experienced greater heating and cooling efficiency and no more cold spots.
