Photo Album: Swift and Professional Crawl Space Waterproofing For Real Estate Transactions - Blaine, WA
John's makes it easy for homeowners to meet real estate repair deadlines when selling their homes. Our Real Estate Response Team works hard to ensure that crawl space repairs are completed by your needed date, giving you a better chance at selling your home quickly. When we receive a phone call from a homeowner, we get them scheduled with our highly trained and experienced team members, who come to their home, and perform a thorough inspection. After inspection, professional, effective waterproofing solutions are offered right away. Once the homeowner agrees to their job proposal, the work is scheduled.
This homes crawl space was very wet and dirty, and needed to be tuned up before the sale of the home could go through. This is where John's comes in! As your leading, local experts in all things waterproofing for over 50 years, we are the company for homeowners to call on for matters such as these. In order to waterproof this crawl space, we installed our tried and true, Pipe, Pump, Plastic system. First, our crew cleaned out the entire space - removing the dirty, old vapor barrier, and all other debris beneath the home. Next, we dug a shallow, narrow trench along the full interior perimeter of the space, to hold our 3" Perforated Piping. From now on, as ground water infiltrates the crawl space, it will be caught in the piping, and routed to a SuperSump Pump installed at the lowest point. Once water reaches the Pump, it will be expelled far away from the home via an underground discharge line. At the end of the discharge line, a LawnScape Outlet was placed, to evenly disperse the water into the lawn, rather than creating a puddle. The final step in the installation of our PPP System, was the placement of a fresh, 6 Mil Vapor Barrier, to cover the entire dirt floor, as well as the foundation walls, preventing water from seeping in. This crawl space is now professionally waterproofed, which will protect the home from the devastating effects of water damage, while also creating a healthier air quality within the home. We take great pride in doing things right the first time, while providing WOW service to all customers every step of the way. With over half a century of experience in home waterproofing, homeowners can entrust John's to install high quality, effective waterproofing systems that both protect the home, and increase its value.
Dirty Crawl Space With Evidence of Water Intrusion
Dirt and mud caked on top of the vapor barrier are evidence of water intrusion beneath the home. Persistent water intrusion into crawl spaces poses enormous structural risks to the integrity of the home, as well as to the health of the family.
Standing Water Beneath Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Standing water beneath the vapor barrier is serious, as it eventually causes erosion of the soil supporting the home - leading to instability, as well as the growth of toxic mold and bacteria.
All Cleaned Up!
Our Real Estate Response Team made quick work of installing our tried and true, Pipe, Pump, Plastic system, which has been successfully used for decades to waterproof crawl spaces and protect homes from water damage.
Vapor Barrier Placed Snuggly Around Subfloor Posts
To ensure effectiveness of our PPP System, our crew installed the fresh vapor barrier tightly around the subfloor posts, which will help prevent water from invading the space.
SuperSump Pump
The SuperSump Pump will work tirelessly, 24/7, to expel all collected ground water far away from the home - keeping the crawl space dry, stable, and healthy!
