Job Stories From Benton County, OR
Dry Basement Needed for Family Home in Alsea, OR

A homeowner and his family gave us a call after deciding that they were tired of having puddles of water in their basement. Our crews went out to the home and installed WaterGuard piping system along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard intercepts water coming into the basement and drains it safely and unseen away into the sump pump. They also installed a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump has three separate pumps. So if the first pump fails, the second one kicks in. Or if there is ever a plumbing leak or too much water for one pump to handle, then the second one will kick on. The third pump, which is battery operated, is there in the event of a power outage. Now this family can enjoy their dry basement for years to come. 

Dry Basement in Blodgett, Oregon

We received a call from a homeowner in Blodgett, Oregon who was frustrated after a power outage had caused his sump pump to fail and his basement to flood. Our crew went out to the home to help. They first installed WaterGuard piping system along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard intercepts water coming into the basement through the walls and floors and then drain the water safely and unseen into the sump pump. This homeowner also had a TripleSafe sump pump installed in his basement. The TripleSafe sump pump has three separate pumps to make sure that the homeowner's basement was triple protected. If the primary pump fails or if there is too much water for one pump to handle then the second pump kicks in. Together they can pump 6200 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. The third pump, which is battery operated, is there in case of power outages. Now this homeowner can have peace of mind knowing that his basement will stay dry no matter what the circumstances.

Monroe, OR Basement Waterproofing

This homeowner was having heating and air conditioning installed and the company they were using suggested that John's Waterproofing seal the homeowner's basement and the homeowner quickly agreed. Our inspector, Jack suggested installing a TripleSafe sump pump, BrightWall Paneling, and a SaniDry dehumidifier.

Manuel and his team promptly set out to waterproof Raymond's basement. They started by installing BrightWall Paneling which transforms ugly, damp basement walls into bright walls that never need paint or other maintenance. BrightWall panels direct wall seepage into a perimeter drain that leads to the Triple Safe sump pump that our team also installed. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three pump system that automatically adjusts to meet pumping requirements. The team installed a SaniDry dehumidifier which creates dry, clean air, and reduces the risk of mold growth while never having to be emptied and is 10x more powerful than traditional dehumidifiers.

After our systems were in place, Raymond is happy with his healthy and clean basement coupled with his new air conditioning system.

Thermal Dry Flooring in Corvallis, OR Combination Basement

These homeowners had water leaking into their basement and wanted to stop the leakage and prevent further damage. Our inspector, Jack suggested our basement finishing systems because their basement was already partially finished. Of our systems, Allen and Meredith chose our Canyon Beige Thermal Dry tiles and Everlast Wall Panels.

 

Harry and his team swiftly set out to waterproof and finish Allen and Meredith's basement. They installed the Everlast Wall panels, which are neutral-colored wall boards that are immune to mold and moisture damage. We also placed in our Thermal Dry tiles which are beautiful, durable, maintenance-free basement floor tiles. They snap together and come in a variety of colors. The bottom of Thermal-Dry flooring has raised pegs that creates an air space and keeps water vapor from getting trapped under finished floors.

 

Allen and Meredith are very satisfied with their new finished basement and look forward to no longer having water issues.

Crawl Space, Corvallis, OR

Malcolm had an appraisal done on his home and was displeased to find out that there was some standing water on the vapor barrier in his crawl space. He had put in a newer sump pump so he was pretty disappointed when he found out it wasn't working as well as it should be. That's where John's came in! Our team of waterproofing professionals came right out and took care of the situation. The crawl space was cleaned out, the damp insulation was removed. We took care of the sump pump situation and got it installed to where it needed to be and Malcolm now has a dry, clean crawl space that passes inspections and functions to the best of its ability. 

Here at John's Waterproofing Company, we are always happy to help! 

Water in Basement, Pooling by Downspouts - Blodgett, OR

The homeowners noticed that all six of the downspouts on their home had excessive pooling and the corresponding places in their basement were experiencing water issues. The added exterior water pressure was taking its toll, and the homeowners were ready to take the step to address this issue before it persisted, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

To begin this project, we started by adding in underground pipes to divert the downspout water out and away from the home. This would new safely exist via new LawnScape outlets to protect the homes foundation. Since the home had porous concrete walls, we wanted to ensure that any water that still made its way into the basement was properly handled as well. Our install crew broke the concrete flooring along the interior walls enough that we could install a WaterGuard Pipe system. The exterior doorways in the basement had a TrenchDrain installed to combat any excess water that entered through that entryway. This new pipe system pulled the water to the new SuperSump that then took the water out and away from the home. 

The basement is now dry, and the home is no longer experiencing pooling around the homes foundation. 

Newer Built Home Has No Vapor Barrier - Monroe, OR

The homeowner had just moved into their new home. They purchased it new, the grass sod had just been laid down and it was exciting time. After moving in they did notice that the contracting company did not include any waterproofing materials to help protect the home. Since the homeowner had used us at their last home, they wanted to have an expert come and look over their new home so they could have it protected against water damage. They called John's Waterproofing. 

To protect this home we kept it pretty simple. It wasn't in a high water area, but since the soil around the home had been recently dug up, we know that means water will flow to the foundation easier. We added in our crawlspace SmartSump pump and laid down CleanSpace. This vapor barrier seals under each post, along every wall, and is taped in place and together with our waterproof tape. While no water issues were present, we were happy that the homeowners were proactive to protect their new investment. 

Crawlspace has Pooling Water in Alsea, OR

This homes spacious crawlspace had regularly pooling water in the lower spots in their crawlspace. They were ready to take control of their crawlspace again, and wanted to fully encapsulate under their home so they wouldn't have to worry about water damage. 

To help them out, we removed the old debris from under their home, then we installed a SuperSump Pump in the lowest portion of their crawlspace. This would allow water to drain down to the pump which would divert all water out and away from the homes foundation. We then isolated each pier with Cleanspace so that the wood would be safe from water damage. After that we laid down dimpled drainage matting throughout the space and covered that with our TerraBlock crawlspace insolation and topped it all with Cleanspace. This is all taped in place with waterproof tape, and sealed along each wall. This home will be ready for the weather and our team will follow up with annual maintenance so the homeowners won't need to worry about a thing. 

Setting up your Home To Sell - Philomath, OR

When getting ready to sell, you can get more when your home is in good order, and that also means taking good care of your basement or crawlspace. This home was getting ready to go on the market and the crawlspace was looking a bit damp. Knowing any unaddressed items would lower their asking price, they wanted to tackle the crawlspace, and they called John's Waterproofing. 

To set this home up for the next homeowner, we installed a three-inch perforated pipe discharge line that ran along the interior perimeter of the space. This would divert groundwater to a newly installed SmartSump to take all of this water a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. A 6 Mil vapor barrier was then installed. The home was ready for market, and has a clean bill of health from the ground up!

Water Sliding Down Exterior Basement Stairs, Blodgett, OR

It is common to find an exterior basement entrance having water issues. If these stairways are exposed to rain and water runoff without a drainage system in place, they become an easy way for water to gain access to the basement. This home had that issue, water was running down the stairs and pooling around the basement doorway on the outside and inside. To clear out the water and find a solution, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by creating a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. For the doorway we installed a TrenchDrain that has an exposed grate to collect any water that goes over it, for the rest of the space we installed a WaterGaurd drainage system which is cemented over for a clean and dry look. These work together to collect groundwater as well as any water that comes down the stairway and diverts it to the newly installed SuperSump that then pushes all water a safe distance away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. This keeps water away from the basement, and from the foundation of the home, letting it stay dry and healthy. 

Muddy Vapor Barrier in Monroe, OR

This home had an old vapor barrier in their crawlspace that had collected mud on top of it. The homeowners needed this to be cleaned out and replaced. 

Our install crew came out and pulled out the old mud-encrusted barrier and laid out a new 6 mil vapor barrier. This thinner barrier will help control water issues but should be monitored closely to check for rips, tears, and for places where water collects on top of it. Since it isn't encapsulating the crawlspace, it has more opportunities for water to get through and will need to be replaced every few years. 

Basement Has Water - Alsea, OR

This basement had water coming through the foundation flooring and the exterior doorway. It was common for the homeowners to need to squeegee the basement floor after heavy rains to direct the water to the one drain present, but was placed higher than most of the floor, making it ineffective. Looking for a long-term solution that would be easier, the homeowners turned to John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and began by digging a trench along with the interior parameter of the basement, where we then installed our WaterGaurd drainage system. To accommodate more water by the exterior doorway, we installed a TrenchDrain by the doorway. This drainage system is finished to be flush to the flooring and directs all water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump which then takes all of the water and pumps it a safe distance away from the home to a LawnScape outlet.  No more squeegee is needed, this home is dry and healthy. 

Setting this Crawlspace up for a Sale - Philomath, OR

As this home was getting ready to sell, it needed some work. The one thing that needed attention was the crawlspace. It's old vapor barrier was torn and caked in mud. They needed help, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by clearing out the old vapor barrier, since mud was caked on top, it was evident that water was pooling thru the barrier. To ensure that a new barrier would be able to last longer, we installed a drainage system. This consisted of a three-inch perforated pipe system that was buried into the dirt. This diverted groundwater to a newly installed SuperSump pump which was than pushed out and away from the foundation of the home to a LawnScape outlet. Once this was fully installed, we laid out a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. This home was now dry and healthy. 

Finished Basement Needs Waterproofing in Corvallis, OR

This home had its basement finished by a general contractor so it could be rented out, it had been converted to a studio, with an outside accessway. However, it had not been waterproofed before it was finished. A few years after it had been completed, water spots began to poke up on the floor, and some musty smells were evident along with the drywall. With worry about rot and mold, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing for full waterproofing and finishing. 

Our crew began by removing the damaged materials; carpeting, trim, and drywall. Once it was cleared out we dug a trench along with the interior of the parameter, by the entryway we installed our TrenchDrain and our WaterGuard drainage system was installed around the rest of the space. This system took groundwater and directed it to a newly installed SuperSump Plus. From here water is pushed out and away from the foundation of the home. We then installed our ThermalDry wall foil, which insulates and provides a vapor barrier so water is directed down the walls to the drainage system. We then installed our EverLast Wall system and our elite grey floor planking with newly installed trim. The final piece for this job was a SaniDry dehumidifier. This space will now be dry and healthy. 

Water in a

These homeowners had their basement finished and were dismayed when, after a few years, they found water coming in through several areas. A System Designer explained to the homeowner that it was not uncommon for a basement to be dry for years and suddenly flood due to torrential rain or new construction in the area or any other reason that water can change its underground path or saturate the ground. He also noted that there were yard drainage issues that needed addressing.

 

Our installation crew was sent out and got to work addressing each issue.  First, the wet carpeting and pad had to be removed as well as the bottom 3' of the drywall and framing. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to gather the incoming water and lead it to a TripleSafe Sump System. From here the water was sent out and connected to a newly extended downspout drainage system to keep the water away from the home. Because 50% of the air from a basement flows up into the main home, the homeowner opted for a SaniDry dehumidifier to make sure the air in the basement and home stayed dry and clean. The homeowners then opted to refinish the space but were so happy that we could set them up properly so their basement could stay dry and healthy.

 

Flooding in Spite of Old Sump Pump - Alsea, OR

In spite of an old sump pump, this homeowner was still battling flooding in his basement and didn't understand why. He had learned of our company from a neighbor that was very pleased with the work John's Waterproofing had done for him so he called us out for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist arrived and after a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist explained a solution built to suit this home's needs and fully addressed the amount of water that this home saw. 

 

Our Installation Crew arrived a few weeks later to do the work. They started by jackhammering a 6" trench around the perimeter of the basement on top of the footing. A bed of gravel was laid in the trench where our award-winning WaterGuard was installed. A layer of concrete was troweled in over the WaterGuard to make it level with the rest of the basement floor. Only a 1/2" of the flange at the back of the WaterGuard was left exposed to accommodate a wall covering to be installed in such a way that the wall covering would direct any water/moisture into the WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard terminated at a newly installed SuperSump and an UltraSump battery backup. Lastly, BriteWall PVC textured wall covering was installed to lighten and brighten the basement. The new drainage system will be able to keep up with the heavy water that this foundation sees, ensuring this basement stays dry and healthy. 

Muddy Barn Dirt Flood - Monroe, OR

This home's barn was down a hillside from the home. It had a dirt floor and it became a muddy mess when heavy rains hit. The homeowners had used John's Waterproofing for the crawlspace of their home, and now wanted to have us help with their barns waterproofing. 

Our crew dug a trench along the exterior of the barns parameter and we installed a drainage system. This would collect the groundwater and divert it around the barn, keeping the space from becoming a muddy mess. With the water going out and around the barn, the homeowners can now use this space without having to worry about slipping and sinking no matter how the weather is.  

Getting Ready to List - Philomath, OR

We often get calls from homeowners that are looking to sell their home and need their crawlspace or basement waterproofed quickly. To address this important need we have a realty program. We can get approximate numbers to a broker in 1-2 days with the help of their inspection reports and, if they should decide to move forward, an inspection is performed by a System Designer to give the broker/homeowner a hard number to work with. This particular home had water intruding up to a few inches on top of the barrier and posts that were rotted and no longer touching the piers. This typically means that a PPP or Pipe/Pump/Plastic is in order and post replacements so the home can pass inspection and the new owners are happy.

Our System Installers were dispersed to do the work. The old vapor barrier, hanging insulation and all other debris was removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. The bad posts were replaced with galvanized metal SmartJacks. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the new drainage system. The new owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty we provide!

Finished Basement Leaking - Corvallis, OR

This homeowner called because they had nearly completed a basement remodel and they noted that there was water intruding into their bathroom before it was fully completed. They called on John's Waterproofing to help them protect their investment. A System Designer was sent out and she walked the homeowner through the basement and explained how the hydrostatic pressure was pushing the water in at the footing all the while letting the homeowner know that John's Waterproofing could not only fix the problem but give him a lifetime warranty that we would collect the water and, provided the pump was operating, the system would collect the water and remove it from the basement. Measurements and photos were taken and a plan was designed to solve this home's water problem.

A few weeks later a crew was sent out and began, the first task was to cut the existing walls and framing 36" up from the floor to make room for installing the WaterGuard.  WaterGuard is an effective and reliable interior gutter system that will solve wet basement problems permanently! The system was installed to lead the water to a TripleSafe sump pump system and discharged to the rain drain system.  To repair the cut walls quickly and with a great look, EverLast basement wall system was installed to cover the missing wall area, and then John's came back and installed ThermalDry Elite plank flooring for a natural wood look that will stand up to moisture and is durable. The homeowners are thrilled to know their finished basement will be safe from water issues. 

Leaky Basement Solution - Blodgett, OR

In this instance, a contractor contacted John's Waterproofing for an inspection. He was remodeling a basement for a customer and was concerned about the water that came in during a rainstorm just prior to him starting the work. It was clear that this had to be addressed first. A System Designer met with the contractor and the owner. Together they inspected the basement from both the interior and exterior. The System Designer got out his computer and explained to them how hydrostatic pressure was pushing the water in at the footing and how John's Waterproofing could give them a lifetime warranty on the patented WaterGuard System. 

Some weeks later, an Installation Crew arrived to do the work. They began by breaking out 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install the WaterGuard. It was placed on top of the footing in a bed of gravel and inspection ports were strategically placed, terminating at the SuperSump location. Well Ducts were installed at the below-grade windows and ThermalDry wall system was fastened to walls and both were inserted into the flange at the back of the WaterGuard to insure any wall seepage or window well overflow was directed into the system. ThermalDry also aids in the insulation of the basement. Next, ThermalDry Flooring was laid down so the moisture that is always present in basement floors would keep away from the carpet being laid in the remodel. Homeowners also invested in a SaniDry XP to keep the air clean and dry.

Now this homeowner could invest in his basement remodel with confidence that it will stay dry and healthy.

Seasonal Flooding Found in Basement - Alsea, OR

This customer called John's Waterproofing because, despite having a sump pump, her basement was flooding every winter during the heavy rains. A System Designer was sent out to help her with a solid solution. He did a thorough examination of the basement and the exterior with the homeowner, explaining to her all the while why her basement was flooding and what could be done about it. He took lots of photos and took concise measurements and then they sat at the kitchen table to put together a proposal. She said she had to go over it with her partner and the System Designer understood. She called back the next day and with her partner in agreement, the proposal was signed and returned.

The crew arrived a few weeks later to do the work. WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without the worry of clogging pipes from soil under the floor. Our crew installed it around the perimeter terminating it at a newly installed SuperSump Plus. It has a primary pump with a battery backup to assure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. The discharge line was taken 50' away from the home to ensure that none of the discharged water from the basement would return and the downspouts were extended as well. WaterGuard comes with a lifetime warranty that, so long as the pumps are operating, there will be no leaks. 

Wet Crawlspace Mess in Monroe, OR

A customer discovered that there was water in the crawlspace and was anxious to get a free inspection to find out what needed to be done to fix the situation. A System Designer was scheduled and after a brief introduction, he examined the interior of the crawlspace. He also went around the exterior checking the foundation, the downspouts and looking for any problems that needed attention. He shared his findings and educated the customer on what John's Waterproofing could do to remedy the situation. 

One of our highly trained installation crews was dispatched to the home. To begin, our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. The space was to wet to work in, so we placed a sump pump and fans in the crawlspace to dry it sufficiently to do the work. Once it was dry, we sent out the crew and firstly removed the old access well and deteriorating wooden door with an Everlast Well and door. This is made from heavy-duty plastic and made to last for the life of the home. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace and protects the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced vapor barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stays dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, we had our spray foam specialist come by to install single-cell Spray Foam insulation to the full wall of the foundation and the rim joist to keep the home insulated.

Encapsulation for Health Concerns - Corvallis, OR

After seeing a John's Waterproofing's booth at a Home Show, this homeowner called to have her crawlspace inspected. She had been experiencing breathing problems for some time and learned about mold in crawlspaces and how that just might be her problem. A system designer went to her home to perform an inspection. Afterwards he discussed the home's water issues and educated her on the value of our encapsulation system and how it can create a healthy environment in her home. She decided it was the right thing today and would be an investment in her home and her health.

To begin the work, our highly trained installation crew removed the old 6mil vapor barrier as well as the old fiberglass insulation and debris. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge away from the foundation. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace, protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier and adds padding for when someone needs to be under the home. CleanSpace is used to isolate each wooden post and is anchored to the foundation walls. Most importantly, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy, killing the mold and preventing regrowth. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home properly insulated. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay healthy, comfortable, and save on utility expenses.

Finished Basement with Water Issue - Blodgett, OR

This homeowner called us after finding their finished basement carpeting wet in multiple places. They had removed the items from their basement, and pulled up the carpeting to try to allow the space to dry. They had fans going and had to use a shop-vac to pull up water in one of the rooms. The homeowners knew they had a real water issue, and reached out to John's Waterproofing for a solution crafted to help protect this living space. 

To begin our crew removed the damaged walls and dug a trench along the interior parameter. Here we installed a WaterGaurd drainage system in a gravel bed. This will naturally grade to a SuperSump Plus which directs the water safely out and away from he homes foundation. We then installed a ThermalDry radiant barrier along the foundation walls to direct water to the drain system to protect the home.

Wet Basement Needs Help! - Alsea, OR

A homeowner contacted us because his basement had a bad habit of flooding in the winter.  There was a sump pump in a hole but he felt he needed something more comprehensive. We were happy to help and a System Designer went to the home to do an inspection. He walked the basement with the homeowner and educated him on why the water was coming in and how John's Waterproofing had a great solution and it came with a fantastic warranty. They walked the exterior to make sure there weren't things like damaged downspouts or poor drainage that may be adding to the problem. Finding none, he sat down with the homeowner and they built a proposal together that would solve the problem and fit the homeowner's budget. 

An installation crew came out later and began by breaking out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to ready it for installing WaterGuard, our award-winning drain system that comes with a lifetime warranty that it will gather and remove the water provided the sump pump is working. It sits in a bed of gravel to help keep dirt out and then it is concreted over leaving only a 1/2" flange next to the foundation wall to allow a wall system to be tucked it and drive water/moisture down into the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard terminates at a TripleSafe sump system with its main pump, backup pump and battery backup to ensure the system continues to operate in the event of a power outage. The pump is put in an airtight liner complete with an alarm and floor rain in case of a plumbing leak. A CleanSpace wall system was chosen to lighten up the basement until the homeowners are ready to build it out in the future. They also chose to include a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air dry and filtered. This also rotates the air through the home, keeping it healthy.
