Trusted Waterproofing Company Serving Clackamas County, OR

One of the constants in Oregon is rain. In order to work, our guys have to get creative on occasion. Yesterday our service technician Harry sent me their solution to working outside! The guys used our plastic sheeting (which we normally use for covering floors to not get muddy) and some plywood to create a dry cover for them to install a trench drain system. 

Government camp home got a nasty winter, once the winter started to melt off the homeowner noticed water intrusion coming into the basement and garage that’s where we came in and helped the basement and garage drainage tie together to make this homeowners problem disappear, many people may not connect the dots on snow melt potentially becoming a water issue in their homes. That’s why during the winter it’s important to winterize your home an always be prepared for any ice or snow to become water and to know what that may end up affecting. This homeowner learned his lesson the hard way. It is always good to be proactive when it comes to protecting your home and family.

This homeowner was interested in selling his home and wanted to ensure that his basement would no longer have water intrusion. Water was entering through pores within the concrete walls, creating an unhealthy, damp, and unusable space. After inspection, our inspector, Larry suggested installing our patented WaterGuard System, a new vapor barrier, and a Super Sump pump.

Manuel and his team quickly set out to waterproof Scott's basement and make it dry for the new homeowners. They installed WaterGuard, our patented drain system which collects water from basement walls and drains it to the Super Sump pump that was also installed. The Super Sump was connected with an Ultra Sump back up battery which ensures that should the power go out, the Sump pump will continue to work. 

Once our systems were in place, Scott no longer had to worry about water entering his basement. And he could enter the sale of his home confident that his basement will be dry and healthy for many years to come!

Our crews recently went on a job in Rhododendron for a customer who was complaining of water entering into his basement through the walls and cracks in the floor. Our inspector, Marcus suggested installing our patented WaterGuard drainage system and Bright Wall paneling.

Brad and his team quickly went to work to waterproof David's basement and make the space usable again. The team installed our Bright Wall paneling, a semi-rigid, white plastic panels that attach to foundation walls. Bright Wall is designed to work with the WaterGuard waterproofing system by directing wall seepage into the perimeter drain and channeling it to the sump pump. WaterGuard is our patented non-clogging system designed to keep the basement dry. It effectively collects wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. 

Once our systems were in place, David no longer has to worry about having a wet basement, and will have a dry, healthy, and usable space for years to come!

This crawlspace was wet, cold and damp and the homeowner was suffering more and more every day with allergies that she believed were due to the mold in her home in the bathroom and a spot in her room. A peek in the crawlspace revealed that there was a considerable amount of mold in the space. 

Our crews had to first call and have the mold remediated and the water removed from the space. Once this work was done, our crews were able to come in and get the crawlspace properly sealed. 

The job began with removing the bad insulation and vapor barrier, then clearing the space. We installed a sump pump to ensure that they wouldn't have further issues with water, and then encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. The entire job was finished with a Sanidry dehumidifer to regulate the air for a healthier home. 

This homeowner called John's Waterproofing because she had creaking/sagging floors and wall and window cracks. Our inspector, Kevin, determined that these problems were being caused by rotting posts. The posts were rotting because there was water in the crawlspace and the wood posts were absorbing the extra vapor. Kevin suggested installing our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system as well as replacing the rotting posts with Smart Jack Stabilizing piers. 

Kevin and the team quickly set out to fix the problems in Tracie's crawlspace and started by replacing the old posts with Smart Jack stabilizing piers, which are adjustable steel piers that are designed to stop settling and can raise sagging floors to their proper level. They can easily be adjusted should there be future settling. They also installed our patented CleanSpace system to ensure that water, moisture, or insects/pests would get into the crawlspace and continue to cause structural damage. Cleanspace is a 7 different layer, 20 mil thick polyethylene composition that is also energy efficient.

Tracie is very happy with her new system and can trust that her floors won't sag and that water intrusion will no longer be an issue.

These homeowners were tired of their cold, unfinished basement floor and wanted something that would look great and protect their space from water issues. Luckily, John's Waterproofing had the perfect solution! Our inspector, Jack suggested installing Thermal Dry carpeted basement flooring.

Thermal Dry Floor systems are designed specifically for basements. Basement floors are likely to be wet at some point from either a plumbing leak or a surprise groundwater leak in a heavy rain. The bottom of Thermal Dry flooring has raised pegs to create an airspace under the floor. This feature keeps water vapor from getting trapped underneath the finished floor that can cause odors and mold. Thermal Dry floors are inorganic and will not rot or buckle like wood subfloors. 

Kyle and Jen are now very happy with their beautiful new floors, and look forward to having usable space without concern of water issues.

This homeowner had heard of John's Waterproofing before and was interested in the basement waterproofing systems that we have to offer. They also had some concern over the excess water in their basement. Our inspector, Travis inspected their basement and recommended installing Thermal Dry walls, our patented Waterguard perimeter drain, and a Super Sump pump.

Sheryl happily agreed, so Delfino and his team quickly began working to waterproof the basement. They first installed Thermal Dry walls, a flexible material that is installed over the basement walls. It is designed to reflect heat back into the basement space, improving comfort and energy efficiency. Thermal Dry walls work perfectly with the Waterguard perimeter drain by directing wall seepage into the drain. Waterguard is installed in the footing of the basement and collects the walls and floor seepage. It then channels the water into the Super Sump pump. The Super Sump pump runs smoothly and quietly to pump out all water from the basement. 

Not that our systems are in place, Sheryl is glad that she no longer has excess water in her basement and can enjoy a new, usable space.

This home had water coming into the crawlspace, and this concerned the homeowner. He called John's Waterproofing and our inspector, Bob came out to take a look. After seeing the crawlspace, he recommended that we install a Super Sump sump pump and Paraseal. 

Ramon and his team quickly installed a Super Sump sump pump, which has a built-in alarm system for when water levels rise too high. They also added Paraseal, which is an exterior membrane that prevents water from getting into the crawlspace. Now that our systems are in place, Greg has fewer worries about the negative effects of having water in the crawlspace.

These homeowners called John's Waterproofing because they had water entering their basement. Our inspector, Daniel came out and recommended that we install our patented Waterguard drain system and a Super Sump pump. Once the homeowners agreed to the suggestions, Manuel and his team immediately started work in their basement. They installed our Waterguard system that is placed in the perimeter footing of the basement floor. Waterguard collects wall and floor seepage and directs it to the Super Sump pump. The Super Sump pump pumps up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour and comes with a built-in alarm system for if water levels get too high.

Jake and Chrysten are glad that their basement will no longer have water issues and make unusable space.

Derek called John's Waterproofing because his crawlspace had water in it. Our wonderful inspector, Jack came out to take a look and based on Derek's situation, he recommended installing our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system, a Super Sump pump, and a Lawnscape outlet. Once our suggestions were approved, Juan and his team quickly set out to waterproof Derek's crawlspace. 

They began by installing our Cleanspace encapsulation system that comes with a 25-year warranty and is patented against moisture, mold and mildew growth, and acts as insulation. It is installed over the floor and walls of the crawlspace in order to keep out negative exterior elements. The team also installed a Super Sump pump which fits perfectly with the Cleanspace system and is designed to alert the homeowner if water levels get too high. We connected the Super Sump line to a Lawnscape outlet. Lawnscape outlets recieve the crawlspace water and are installed on the exterior of the house to keep the excess water from affecting the foundation. Lawnscape outlets come in three different versions for whatever the need may be.

Now that our systems are in place, Derek can rest assured knowing that water problems will not be an issue in his crawlspace for years to come!

Toni saw one of our service trucks out and about working on another home and knew that his crawlspace needed attention. He called John's Waterproofing to set up an inspection with our inspector Eric. Eric noticed that there was a lot of water intrusion and mold that needed to be addressed. He suggested installing our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system, a Triple Safe sump pump, and Mold-X.

Toni happily agreed, so Demetrius and his team went to work. They first had the mold removed so it was safe to continue our process and proceeded to put in an application of Mold-X to prevent mold from coming back. We then installed our Cleanspace encapsulation system that is patented against water and moisture intrusion, mold and mildew growth, and insects/pests. When installed by John's Waterproofing, Cleanspace has a 25-year warranty. We also placed a Triple Safe sump pump that works perfectly with the Cleanspace. The Triple Safe is a three-pump system designed to meet all pumping requirements. It will even continue to work when the power goes out with its third backup battery pump.

Toni is satisfied with his new system and no longer has to worry about future crawlspace repair necessities. 

This homeowner was interested in having their crawlspace inspected because they hadn't gone in there in a long time. They didn't know if there were any problems but trusted that our team at John's Waterproofing could help them and let them know of any concerns that might be present. Our inspector, Carolann found that there was, in fact, a lot of water intrusion, and water was pooling in the crawlspace. She suggested that we install our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a Triple Safe sump pump.

Phil was grateful that he was now aware of the looming problems in his crawlspace and quickly agreed to Carolann's suggestions. Gordon, Demetrius, and the team immediately began working on waterproofing Phil's crawlspace. They installed Cleanspace, a 20 mil thick, 7 layer polyethylene composition that is placed on the floors and walls of the crawlspace to completely encapsulate it. It is patented to keep out all moisture, mold and mildew growth, make the crawlspace more energy efficient, and comes with a 25-year warranty when installed by John's Waterproofing. Once the Cleanspace was installed, Demetrius came in and applied Spray Foam insulation against the walls of the crawlspace. Both the cleanspace and the spray foam act as insulation, and together they create maximum energy efficiency. The team also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that cleans, filters and removes moisture from the air. It is the quietest and most energy efficient dehumidifier. The dehumidifier self-drains into the Triple Safe sump pump which is a three-pump system designed to remove the excess water.

Phil is thankful for our team at John's Waterproofing for taking care of all concerns in his crawlspace. He now has a highly energy efficient, clean and dry crawlspace. 

Our crews recently went on a job in West Linn. The customer called about there being lots of water in their crawlspace and a damaged vapor barrier. The house had an old french drain that was not keeping up with the amount of water coming. So we sent out one of our members to inspect the crawlspace and come up with a plan. 

Eric who went out to inspect this customer's crawlspace recommended doing a crawlspace encapsulation with our CleanSpace System. We would install a TripleSafe sump pump that has three pumps to cover getting all water out and our patented WaterWatch Alarm that goes off if water rises above the range to prevent damage. Along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier with a duet filter that removes mold spores, dust, and dust mite droppings. We would also install vent covers and encapsulate with our cleanspace barrier with spray foam around the perimeter of the home. 

Our customer was very happy with the solution and now can have peace of mind that water will not take over their crawlspace again. 

This customer called because he had a musty smell in his house that he couldn't get to go away. Upon further investigating that smell he started to wonder if it was coming from beneath his house. So he gave us a call to have one of our inspectors come out and take a look at what was going on. Our inspector found sagging old fiberglass insulation with a torn vapor barrier. Water and debris had been getting in the crawlspace causing mud, dirt, and moisture damage to the posts and beams. Causing a musty smell to move up thru the house. We recommended doing a crawlspace encapsulation to prevent future water problems from happening. We cleaned out the crawlspace and sealed the vents, the crew then laid down our terra block that is a foam insulation that is 3/4" foam underneath the cleanspace that completely seals in the crawlspace. Along with the cleanspace we installed our smart sump pump that is specifically made for the crawlspace. This customer was so happy to know he doesn't have to worry about musty smells or breathing in poor air from his crawlspace. He can relax knowing he has a dry crawlspace for years to come. 

The soon to be buyers of the home were in the inspection phase, and were told it would be a good idea to have a waterproofing company come out and do an inspection. Upon finding water building up along the walls and vapor barrier in the crawl space.

Carolann did find some water buildup, but not enough to cause much worry. So Gordon and Nathan C went and cleaned out the old vapor barrier and installed new 10 mil vapor barrier. To prevent any future problems they installed the SaniDry Sedona to regulate humidity buildup. They also replaced the crawlspace entryway to keep the area sealed tight.

The buyers were extremely happy with the outcome, and were glad to know they could have it done before the move in date.

Denise and her roommate, Carl, called due to them constantly being sick. Vincent went out and found mold growth in the crawlspace, which can make the air quality very poor and carriers allergens into the home. 

Cleaning up the space was first priority, due to water building up in the fiberglass insulation. Which was causing the black mold growth. After completely cleaning out the space, the crew installed the TerraBlock, and had to isolate the piers. So that when they laid down the CleanSpace, they can put it under the posts to seal the space completely. 

For extra precaution, the crew made sure to install the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and the TripleSafe sump pump. Ensuring that the humidity levels would be regulated. And that any water to get in, would be discharged out. 

The customers were happy and saw results immediately. They were able to breath with ease again. Encapsulating the space, reassured the customers that it had eliminated added allergens from the crawl space. 

The customer called because they needed better drainage for their space and their back yard. Due to the water building up in the yard and trickling into the crawl space. 

Our crew went out an found that there was also mold growth, along with some flooding issues. They went to work by first pulling out all of the old vapor barriers and draining the water. Lupe had the crew flatten out as much as the ground as possible before installing the new 6 mil Vapor Barrier. They also installed the SmartSump pump to help catch and expel the water from the space with ease. 

Connecting it to a discharge line, that is hidden meticulously under the yard. To then have it filtered out and off the property without being seen. Giving the homeowner the reassurance that they won't have anything protruding from the crawl space. They also won't have to worry about flooding occurring from the yard into the crawlspace. 

Customer called to have one of her homes on a senior retirement park. She had called us because one of her friends referred us, and she liked the job we did. Her home had water starting to come in from the soil itself. And that the insulation had some water damage to it.

Making this job easier for everyone, they first dried out the crawl space. So that when they laid down the vapor barrier the moisture didn't continue to build and cause more damage. After the crawl space completed the dry out they started the process of laying down the 6 mil Vapor Barrier. They also put the SuperSump pump into place to start the process of filtering out the water from the crawl space. 

The property manager was enthralled that the job matched and excelled with the job previously done for her friend. 

Tom had called for water that was traveling from under his patio into his crawl space. He had suspected that there was water damage occurring in the foundation due to this. Thankfully he had found us in time, as there was minimal damage but it was happening. Just as he had thought. 

Tyler came out and cleaned everything up, due to the built up water the old insulation was trashed. To help water filter, without it being intrusive to the crawl space, they laid down CleanSpaceDrain Matt. Overtop they laid down 6 mil vapor barrier, to completely seal the water into the soil. 

The crew also made sure to patch up the spot that was eroded by the water, under the patio, to create a tight seal. Leaving a joyous customer with knowing that the water would no longer seep in from any other crevices. 

The customer wanted to invest in getting their crawlspace encapsulated. There was no damage done to the crawlspace, other than moist insulation. After removing the old fiberglass insulation they started the process of encapsulating the crawlspace. 

They started with isolating the piers, which is when we pull the moist soil out from the affected area, to make them stable once again. They then laid down a CleanSpace Drain Mat, which lays under the CleanSpace and allows the water to still move freely in the soil, without damaging or getting into the encapsulated area. 

Finishing off the crawlspace, they replaced the vents with metal covers. And installed a SaniDry Sedona to regulate the temperatures and humidity levels. To help prevent any more problems from arising they sealed it with Spray Foam Insulation. Giving the homeowners reassurance that mold growth and water intrusion would not be a problem during the spring when it starts to rain. 

Imagine constantly having a runny nose year round and your home always having an underlying musty smell. That is what these homeowners had been dealing with for a few years. She was reading the newspaper when she came across our article about the air you breathe in your home and how up to 50% of it comes from your crawlspace. She called us to have a free inspection of her crawlspace to see what it looked like and if there were any issues. 

Once our inspector got out and looked at the crawl space there were definitely some issues. In parts of the crawl space, there were more than two inches of water. The mud under the old worn vapor barrier was thick wet mud creating a huge mess. The inspector recommended a full encapsulation system of the crawlspace. Our crews started with installing a TripleSafe sump pump that is a three pump system to give optimal support. They then sealed the vents completely shut to ensure that nothing can come in or out. Having your crawl space properly sealed is so important because when the air from outside comes in it never goes back out. It raises the humidity and rises up thru the home, allowing you to breathe in mold and other contaminants. We use a 20 mil thick woven fiver vapor barrier called CleanSpace. It attaches at the sill plate and completely covers the crawlspace. Due to the high humidity level in the crawlspace, we also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that filters the moisture, mold spores, and allergens out of the crawlspace, leaving the home with cleaner air. After all the products are installed and in place, we use spray foam insulation along the outside walls of the home. It offers more coverage and helps keep the air in from escaping your HVAC systems. 

The homeowner was so relieved to finally have her crawlspace taken care of, and over time even noticed warmer floors. After a couple of months she no longer continuously had a runny nose and neither her roommate. She was more than happy with the job and recommends it to all of her neighbors and friends. 

This customer called with concerns for their crawl space continuously being wet even with the sump pump they made. The foundation was leaking water and the fiberglass insulation was absorbing all the moisture causing mold and sagging. The homeowner called us for a free inspection to help relieve some of these issues. 

When our inspector went out he found mold under the fiberglass insulation, and one some areas of the foundation. The soil was mud and the old black plastic vapor barrier was torn and puddled with water. Continuously exposing your crawlspace to these conditions takes a toll on your foundation and the air quality of your home. Our inspector recommended a crawl space encapsulation system to keep the water, moisture, and mold out of the crawl space for good. 

Our crew went in and did a complete dry out first to remove all the moisture and dampness out. After the crawl space was dried they treated the mold with a product we use called Mold X. It kills the mold and removes the mold stains from the wood. Once we had the mold and moisture taken care of we put in a drainage system with our TripleSafe sump pump. It is a three-level pump the will run depending on the volume of water that is flowing in. When doing an encapsulation we use our CleanSpace vapor barrier, it is a 20 mils thick woven fiber barrier that is rip-resistant. To make sure your crawl space is completely sealed we put the vapor barrier all the way up to the sill plate of the home along with running the barrier under your posts and piers. Once the crawl space is encapsulated we installed our SaniDry XP dehumidifier that will filter out moisture, mold spores, and other allergens. Leaving your home with cleaner air and preventing moisture and mold from the crawl space. Lastly, our after everything is in place and set our crew uses a spray foam insulation around the parameter of the crawlspace. Completely encapsulating the space and leaving you with a dry and healthy crawl space. 

The homeowner was so thrilled to have such a burden lifted and know that the foundation of her home was protected. She couldn't believe the transformation of the crawl space and it was the same space. 

This customer called and made an appointment to learn more information about encapsulating your crawl space. They hadn't been in their crawl space in years and didn't know the conditions. When our design specialist went down he found mold and rotting posts due to moisture exposure in the crawl space. The homeowner also complained that the heating bill was so high every winter and they couldn't figure out why because the insulation was still wrapped around the HVAC tubing. Our design specialist recommended a crawl space encapsulation and to replace the rotting posts. 

Our crew went out and cleaned out the old vapor barrier and insulation from the crawl space and treated the mold with Mold X2 cleaner. After the crawlspace was ready we installed our SmartJack posts that are made of steel and can be adjusted as settling occurs. When having your crawl space encapsulated we use a 20 mil thick vapor barrier called CleanSpace, it has a protective barrier to stop mold and completely seals the crawl space. To help make sure water and moisture stop we installed a TripleSafe sump pump in this crawl space. It is has a three-pump design to run the pumps according to the water flow. The crew installed our SaniDry Sedona that is perfect for crawl spaces and helps remove moisture, mold spores, and other allergens from the air. 

The homeowner was so happy with their crawl space after the job was complete. They could not believe it was the same crawl space.  Over time they will see a 15-35% energy savings due to the air from their HVAC system not leaking its air out of the crawl space vents. 

We know that sometimes DIY projects seem like the best choice for home repairs and there are several people cheering it on. Unfortunately, a DIY sump pump is an area to stay away from because there is so much more to it then laying a sump pump in a bucket in the crawl space. These homeowners had a DIY sump pump and still had consistent water in their crawl space which caused sagging insulation, and rotting posts. They decided to give us a call after their efforts were not protecting their home's foundation. 

Our design specialist went out and reassured the homeowners that things will get fixed and we would do a crawl space encapsulation for the best protection. Our crew went out and cleaned out the old vapor barrier and sagging insulation. We then lay our Terra Block insulation on the ground that goes under our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace vapor barrier is 20 mils thick and seals the crawl space. With the amount of water this crawl space had, we also went with one of our bigger sumps pumps the TripleSafe that has a three-level pump system that runs the number of pumps based on the level of water flowing in. It also comes with an alarm that will sound if the water level in your crawl space becomes too high. 

This customer was so pleased that the job only took four days and now has the proper protection from water in the crawl space. 

We have a customer, Marta, who called us because her crawl space hadn't been looked at for many years and she wondered what might be going on underneath her house. Mart had noticed that the floors on the first floor of her home were cold and just wanted to make sure there were no issues in her crawl space. Half of the air that comes into the first floor of your home actually comes from the air that is underneath your house. 

Our Design Specialist, Daniel, went out to Marta's home and went under her house to take a look. Daniel found there were some issues including fallen insulation, vents no properly taken care of and saw that her existing sump pump wasn't working as efficiently as it should be. Between Daniel and Marta, they decided to do a full encapsulation of her crawl space was going to be the best option for her and the most energy-efficient overall.

Shorty, thereafter, our crew here from John's Waterproofing Company went and removed all of the old and fallen insulation, debris that had accumulated isolated posts and installed new vent covers as well as doing a full encapsulation of the crawl space and installing a new SaniDry Sedona sump pump.

Marta is thrilled to have the issues taken care of, and that she has her warm floors back all while saving about 33% on her energy usage. We, here at John's Waterproofing Company strive at delivering excellent customer service and were glad to be of service. 

Jayne called our office because she was interested in having her crawl space waterproofed. Jayne was concerned about water being in her crawl space and causing any structural damage. So she was interested in finding out what her options were before any issues became worse. 

Our company, John's Waterproofing Company, has been in business since 1974 so Jayne knew she was calling a company who were well versed in what we do. We quickly got Joyne on the schedule and sent our senior Design Specialist Vinny B. out to take a look. Sure enough, there was some evidence of some water damage. 

In just a few days Fernando H. and his crew went out and cleaned out all of the old material in the crawl space and did some minor repairs that were needed. Next, they installed a SaniDr Dehumidifier to ensure there would be no moisture and did a full encapsulation of the crawl space using CleanSpace vapor barrier and spray foam.

Jayne now a clean crawl space that is dry, which also helps her save on energy.

John was on the internet trying to find solutions for his wet crawl space when he came across John's Waterproofing. He looked at our website where he found out that waterproofing is our main specialty and that we have been in business since 1974 so he decided to give us a call. After talking with Kayla in our call center he got on the calendar for an inspection with our senior  Design Specialist Vinnie B. Vinnie found that John's equipment was not working properly and suggested a full encapsulation. John agreed and within a few days Ramon M and his crew were out in Wilsonville. They removed all of the old material and equipment, dried out the crawl space and in just a short time they had done a full encapsulation of the crawl space. 

John was so impressed with how quickly Ramon and his crew worked and at how clean they kept the job site that he gave us a stellar review on Google. John also knows that his crawl space is in good health, creating good clean air and is virtually maintenance-free. 

This customer had falling insulation all over their crawl space and the vapor barrier was not covering the whole crawl space. With these problems, it left their crawl space in despair and a host to a multitude of problems. When your crawl space is not properly sealed moisture, mold, and pests can cause a nightmare for the homeowner. This homeowner decided enough was enough and called us to have an inspection. 

Our inspector went out and found that the crawl space had moisture which was a contributor to the falling insulation. He recommended an encapsulation system be installed to make sure that the health of the home would greatly increase. Our crew went out and cleaned all the debris out and installed a smart drain. We then started to lay the Terra Block down which is insulation designed for the crawl space floor. It goes under the CleanSpace vapor barrier that we use to help seal the crawl space. To help keep humidity levels down we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that is the perfect size for the crawl space. It removes moisture, mold spores, and other allergens from the air. Giving your home cleaner air for your family to breathe. 

This homeowner was so happy with their job and the musty smell from the crawl space was gone quickly. They were glad they called us when they did so that the elements didn't destroy the foundation of their home. 

Nicole called into our office and made an appointment to have Sean J come out and assess her crawl space that had gotten water in it from the water heater. A bit of a mess had been made and, Sean suggested that she go ahead and have a clean up done and then the installation of CleanSpace. Nicole agreed and so Delfino and his team here at John's Waterproofing came out. They cleaned up the crawl space and installed a new SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that stops moisture and then installed CleanSpace to the entire crawl space. Nicole is now thrilled that she has a dry crawl space and no longer has to worry about any water damage occurring. And knowing that she will not have to worry for many years.

We have a customer in West Linn, Oregon who had his entire crawl space flood and he had no idea what to do. Good thing he called when he did. We sent our Design Specialist Vinny out and he found that yes, indeed, the crawl space had a few inches of water in it. He explained to Steve, the homeowner, that this was no good for the integrity of Steve's home or good for the quality of air coming into Steve's home. 

We quickly had Lupe take his crew out and they were able to remove the water and insulation that had also become wet and had started to droop. They installed a TripleSafe sump pump which is the most reliable pumping system out there. They did some repair to the support posts and laid down the CleanSpace vapor barrier. 

Steve is thrilled that his crawl space no longer has a virtual river running through it and that he doesn't have to worry any longer. Steve has the piece of mind of efficiently running equipment, clean, dry air and knows that he can always count on John's Waterproofing to take care of all of his waterproofing needs.

John called us one day after seeing our trucks out driving. John has pretty severe respiratory issues and wanted to encapsulate his crawlspace. Encapsulating your crawlspace ensures that there is no water or moisture underneath your house which is very helpful in aiding respiratory and allergy-related issues. Half of the air that exists on the first floor of your home comes from underneath your house. Encapsulating your crawl space gives you a dry, clean crawl space with no allergens, mold, or dust mites.

John is breathing easy knowing his crawl space is dry.

When these homeowners found out they had a baby on the way they wanted to make sure they were providing the healthiest environment that they could. They had done some research on bacteria and mold and quickly learned of the benefits of an encapsulated crawl space. Encapsulating your crawl space ensures that only clean, dry air is what is coming into your home. This also eliminates possible dust mites and allergens. 

A design specialist was happy to go out and do a free inspection for them. Providing customers with healthy basements and crawl spaces is what John's Waterproofing is known for so we sent a crew out to do the encapsulation with the antimicrobial CleanSpace. Next we sent our spray foam specialist out to insulate the crawlspace fully. 

These expecting parents were stoked with the results and now have the peace of mind of knowing that their crawl space is not breeding bacteria.

The homeowners called in one day worried about their kitchen. They noticed that the floor had sunken approximately 2 inches and they were very concerned about more damage happening. A design specialist was happy to go out and take a look. After inspecting their crawl space he told them about crawl space encapsulation and post-repair. They agreed that this sounded like a good option for them and shortly after a crew was sent to get the work started. 

First, the crawl space was cleaned and dried out, including the insulation. Then they did some repairs to the support beams and installed SmartJack supports where needed. A dehumidifier was put in to keep the space dry, a Super Sump was installed along with the CleanSpace vapor barrier. Spray foam insulation was put in and a French Drain was installed outside to ensure that all water was being directed as far away from the home as possible. 

The homeowners were very happy with the work done. So much so that they even gave us a great review. We value our customers and are committed to providing people with dry, healthy crawl spaces and basements which will remain dry and healthy for a very long time.

The homeowners had a finished basement and hired a local contractor to come and revamp the space with some upgrades. While working, the contractor was removing the old faux wood floor panels and found they had been installed directly over the concrete flooring in the basement. While the finished basement had shown no water damage when the job was taken on, the concrete flooring was completely saturated with water. Had this basement not been getting an upgrade, this could have warped the floor and caused some serious damage to the home. Before continuing work, the contractor called Johns for help, they knew a well installed Waterproofing system would need to be installed before any more updating was done to the space. 

Since the homeowners had already chosen a local contractor to perform the remodel of this space, John's came in to create an unfinished basement so that the contractor could do their work. Once the space was cleared of the flooring and wall coverings, we got to work. We installed ThermalDry Wall Bubble Wrap and Brightwallpanels to all the walls to make sure no water damage could infiltrate the concrete walls. To combat the floor space, we installed a watergaurd pipe along the interior floors and a TripleSafe Sump Pump so the water could be collected and sent away from the homes foundation. 

With the basement fully waterproofed, our crew was done and the local contractor was able to come in and finish the job. The homeowners were lucky that their contractor knew what needed to be done to protect the beautiful work they were able to do, now their basement can be finished and used without worry of water. 

As a note, Johns Waterproofing does offer our Total Basement Finishing package and we will happily waterproof and fully create a usable basement to suit your desires. Most contractors do not do waterproofing, so, if you choose to use another company for your basement finishing needs, please call us first so we can waterproof the area before they come in. Even if we are not finishing the space, we can help protect the investment you are about to make. 

Homeowner called about installing a Sump Pump for under their manufactured home. The home has no skirting and had been waterproofed with Rat Slab when it had been set on the property. However, there was no Sump Pump installed and moisture was still getting in. 

Johns came out and dug a hole through the rat slab and placed a SuperSump under the home. To keep the water away from the homes foundation we had to install a pipe line to a LawnScape Outlet out in the homeowners field. 

While the homeowners had the right idea to get the crawlspace waterproofed, without the whole space getting taken care of, homes can end up experiencing water issues. We are always happy to assist to complete a project. We want to make sure you home and your family can rest easy without the worry of water under your home. 

The home was recently built and no waterproofing system was put into place when the home was created. However, after the crazy weather that accompanies Oregon's rainy season, the homeowners found standing water throughout their crawlspace. To protect their new home, they wanted a full crawlspace encapsulation. 

We came in and began by clearing an general debris that was under the house. We installed a UltraSump under the home since so much water had been evident when the rains hit. An interior drainage trench was placed as well so that all the water could be diverted and a line was dug out and away from the homes foundation. We then installed Cleanspace to fully encapsulate the area. 

The home is now waterproofed and ready for whatever weather Oregon has to offer, and the family can rest easy that their investment is well protected. 

When the homeowner had purchased their home, it had a vapor barrier and an old sump pump in the Crawlspace. After living at the home for a few years, they noticed a cold draft coming up into the home from their Crawlspace. Upon further investigation, they discovered that the old sump pump was clogged up, and the vapor barrier was damaged in multiple areas. There was now standing water, high humidity, and the elements were affecting their energy bills. They wanted to protect their home, and so they called John's Waterproofing to come and do a new crawlspace encapsulation. 

Our install crew began by removing all of the old materials, which included removing a large portion of the old fiberglass insulation that was down there. Our crew took out the old and damaged Sump Pump and replaced it with a TripleSafe Sump Pump which has three Sump Pumps in one, that way if any sort of malfunction happens, then a different sump pump can kick into gear so that it can keep up with the water demands. It also has one sump pump that is battery operated, so even if the power goes out, it can keep on moving. We then installed out Cleanspace barrier, that will create a clean and tear resistant barrier from the outdoor elements. We isolated all of the piers under the house and secured the vapor barrier under them so that no tears or leaks could happen. Due to the high humidity of the space we also added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier,  and covered all of the vents with new covers, and added in a spray foam to insulate the house and help keep the home above warm. 

This full crawlspace encapsulation will keep their home dry and healthy for years to come and comes with our warranties to back it up!

This home is built into the hillside, the driveway hosts access to the garage which sits above the basement area. Due to the high amounts of snow the home faces it ends up with a large amount of water when things begin the melt. Due to how the concrete in the driveway was poured this has led to water pooling near the garage doors and seeping down into the basement through the walls. The rest of the basement has had no water issues, only the side that is built fully in the hillside. 

To solve this issue we dug a trench and inserted a TrenchDrain in front of the garage which diverts the water to either side of the house where it connects to new pipes and runs the water out and away from the home. To protect the basement, we also added in t Watergaurd pipe along the interior of the basement along the hillside wall. This pipe leads any water that creeps through to a TripleSafe Sump pump that pops out and connects to  one of the discharge lines on the exterior of the home. The hillside wall was also then covered in ThermalDry wall  to waterproof it and help it maintain its temperature no matter what the exterior elements throw at it. 

The home is now ready for water, and the homeowners can rest assured their home will remain dry and healthy!

This home had a vapor barrier installed previously and the homeowners noticed it had a significant amount of caked on mud over it. They wanted this cleaned up, when we arrived we went on under their home and pointed out why the mud was there. The old vapor barrier wasn't doing it's job. The water that flows under the home had pushed the barrier around causing water to pool over the top of the barrier and as the water evaporated, the mud was left. There was water in their crawlspace still and to solve the issue they would need to upgrade their waterproofing system. 

To start we removed the old vapor barrier and cleared out debris. With a clean working area we installed a Smart Sump pump which would help any water under the home travel through a discharge line out and away from the homes foundation. We then isolated each pier under the home so that water couldn't seep into the wood of the home. Cleanspace was then laid throughout the crawlspace. It was sealed along the walls, along each pier, and taped together using waterproof tape. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep vapor from being an issue under the home. To complete the job we installed new vent covers. 

The home is now properly waterproofed, and caked on mud will be a thing of the past. 

This homes crawlspace was experiencing water damage, and they were worried about mold growth and the unhealthy air that would bring into their home. Before the problem did long term damage, they called John's Waterproofing to stop the problem in its tracks. 

Our crew began by doing a debris removal, they then installed a Triple Safe Sump pump to collect the water from the dirt floor to direct it out and away from the foundation. Next a dimpled drainage matt was laid out and then we sealed the space up with our Cleanspace vapor barrier. This secures under each post, along every wall, and is taped together with special tape. Lastly we changed out the vent covers so we could ensure nothing unwanted was getting under the house. The home is now dry and healthy, and protected from future water damage. 

When going to a home, we often recommend a full Crawlspace encapsulation. This really sets a home up to remain dry and healthy. However for different reasons, this is not always the route that people wish to go, and for those people we still recommend a vapor barrier as it will still help protect a home, it will just be a short term solution that will need to be replaced and cleaned up since it doesn't fully encase a crawlspace in a waterproof environment. This home had opted for a vapor barrier, and it was time to get a cleanout.

Our crew arrived and removed all of the old vapor barrier, we cleaned up any messes that we found, and did a thorough inspection to ensure that the home wasn't suffering any water damage that would need to be addressed. After making sure that the home was still structurally sound and no mold or mildew was growing we installed a fresh layer of 6 Mil vapor barrier. The space is once again fresh and dry and when it is needed we will come back out to inspect and refresh this space. 

This homes finished basement had been used for a few years. The homeowners were unaware that behind all of the finished work, water was still creeping into their homes foundation. They began noticing that portions of their carpeting was damp near the foundation walls. As these damp spots became more frequent and some were growing, they knew they would need a professional to come by and solve their waterproofing issues. 

Our crew came out and pulled up the carpeting, removing portions of the walls and got to work. To begin a trench was dug around the foundation interior, and a WaterGaurd drainage system was installed. We also added in TripleSafe Sump Pump to divert the water out and away from the homes foundation via a discharge line to a newly installed LawnScape outlet. The walls were then repaired with our Everlast finished wall restoration system and the floors were changed over to our ThermalDry basement flooring. These materials are non-organic and cannot mold, ensuring that this basement will be safe for the homeowners to use once more. 

This home had a unique layout. When originally built, the home had a basement that had been waterproofed and finished. Nearby was an in-ground, indoor pool. To add some additional space these buildings had been connected with an addition that was situated with a crawlspace. The crawlspace had been insulated with fiberglass but over the years the fiberglass insulation had been weighted down by the water and the space above was having higher energy bills. When walking from one portion of the home to the other, there was now a significant temperature change. To address this issue, they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by removing the old insulation and the other general debris that was under this section. We then installed a SmartDrain in the crawlspace to address any leaky foundation issues. We also buried a perforated pipe along the interior perimeter of the space to collect drain water and direct it to the pump out and away from the home. To help with energy bills we then installed our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation on the dirt floor and Spray foam along the foundation walls. Each pier was then isolated with Cleanspace and fully encapsulated with our 20 Mil thick tear and rip-resistant vapor barrier. Each vent cover was then replaced, and a new EverLast crawlspace door was installed to seal off the underside of the home. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was added in to maintain a healthy humidity level. 

These homeowners used their large crawlspace for general storage. The space itself had about four feet of headspace and offered plenty of space. The home already had a general vapor barrier installed, but it moved around when walked on. The crawlspace was also drafty and cold. To ensure their storage items would be safe from the elements and they could move easily under their home they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and began by installing TerraBlock crawlspace insulation on the dirt floor. This would keep the floor warm and retain its heat better. Next, each pier was isolated to keep the wooden foundation safe and the space was encapsulated in our CleanSpace, 20 Mil rip, and tear-resistant vapor barrier. We then used spray foam along the foundation walls to add another layer of insulation. To ensure the storage items wouldn't succumb to any moisture damage we then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and replaced the vent covers throughout the crawlspace to keep the outside, out. 

The homeowners can now move freely under their home without worrying about damage to their vapor barrier and the full encapsulation has also reduced their energy costs since their home is properly insulated now! 

This home had water pooling under the house and the dirt floor was very wet to the touch. To keep this water under control we had our install crew go out and install a 3-inch perforated pipe along the interior perimeter to collect all of the water and carry it to a newly installed SuperSump pump with a backup battery should any power outages occur. From there the water is diverted a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. This water then exited via a newly installed LawnScape outlet. The dirt floor was then covered in a 6 mil vapor barrier to keep the water down and away from the wooden aspects of the home. 

Due to the recent rain, this home has an overflow of water. Their front lawn had flooded and the water poured into their crawlspace. The Wooden foundation had absorbed the water and was damp to the touch. While this amount of water under the home, was abnormal, the homeowners wanted to protect their home from water damage and so they called John's Waterproofing to get some help. 

Our crew arrived and did a dry out, ensuring the wooden beams wouldn't be wet when we worked, and they removed the debris from under the home. Next, we installed a SuperSump pump with a backup UltraSump. This would ensure that even if a power outage occurs, the home will be protected from water damage. The sump pumps divert all water out and away from the home to a newly installed LawnScape outlet. Next, the dirt floor was covered in TerraBlock crawlspace insulation to help keep the home above regulated. Each wooden post was then isolated so that water couldn't creep up into it and the flooring was encased in our 20 Mil CleanSpace vapor barrier. The walls were insulated with our SilverGlo insulation and the Cleanspace was attached to the walls with fasteners. Finally, the vent covers were upgraded to keep the outside out so the home would stay dry and healthy. 

This basement had been sectioned into a small hallway, a bedroom, the laundry room, and storage space, and the room with the water heater and electrical box. When the basement had been finished, only the commonly used spaces had been waterproofed and finished, leaving the storage and water heater room untouched. These spaces would experience some water intrusion, but the homeowners hadn't thought much about it until they began to notice that water was coming into their finished spaces through the drywall partitions in the hallway. The drywall was soft and squishy near the baseboards and the hallway carpeting was damp. Due to the high humidity that the unfinished portions of the space experienced, the water damage was not easy to spot, the humidity had just crept into the materials slowly. To get this fixed before the damage extended further, the homeowners called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and tore out the damaged drywall, the carpeting was able to be pulled up and dried out, no long-term damage had occurred. We then dug a trench and installed a WaterGaurd drainage system in the unfinished rooms. These are connected to a TripleSafe Sump pump to push the water along a discharge line a safe distance from the foundation of the home. These side rooms had a few windows, and we resealed all of the windows, ensuring that moisture wouldn't come into the rooms. Next, we covered the unfinished walls with ThermalDry Wall panels and restored the hallway wall without waterproof Everlast Finished Wall restoration. The basement looks clean, crisp, and will stay dry now! 

The homeowner had an annual issue with their energy bills during the Winter. Initially, they had thought that this was normal for the area since they had snow and ice regularly. But after a few years, they learned theirs was significantly higher than neighbors. After researching ways to lower energy bills, they learned that their crawlspace could be an issue, so they called out John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our crew came out and installed a TripleSafe sump pump to take any groundwater out and away from the foundation of the home. The crawlspace walls then had SilverGlo crawlspace insulation attached. This would reflect any heat back into the crawlspace and regulate the temperatures. Each pier was then lifted up so we could slide in Cleanspace so no water could penetrate the wooden beams. Then the space was fully encased in CleanSpace. We then created custom vent covers to help keep the heat in the crawlspace and added in a new EverLast doorway to help. We also learned their gutter downspout would freeze during the colder months, so we replaced their downspouts with our IceGuard system to help protect the home year-round. 

This home had settled into its foundation and left the crawlspace with very low clearance. The homeowners were unable to go into their crawlspace because of the tight fit and the water that they had. They could see the water was reaching some of the wooden posts under their home and were worried about the longevity of their home if the water stayed a present force under their home. To get their home protected, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by digging out under the home so our crews could easily maneuver while working and also allow the homeowners to check under their home whenever they wanted to. We then installed a new EverLast Access Well and EverLast Door for the crawlspace entry. We then installed a three-inch perforated pipe discharge line around the interior perimeter to collect groundwater and push it to a new SmartSump pump to get the water out and away from the home's foundation. We then inserted two SmartJacks where the wood posts had been compromised and laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier.   

This home was experiencing a good flow of water under their home during heavy rains that lead to mud and wet conditions. They wanted to help control the water situation so their foundation would be protected, so the homeowners called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew started by removing the debris from under the home. We then installed a three-inch perforated pipe system to help groundwater flow to the newly installed SuperSump with UltraSump pump backup. This new system will work together to divert water through designated pathways safely away from the home. We then installed a 6 Mil vapor barrier to the crawlspace. 

This home was experiencing some water pooling around their downspouts, this was drowning the flowerbeds and making a muddy mess whenever the snow and ice melted. The homeowners didn't want to just extend their downspouts, because they were worried about that getting in the way, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our installation crew decided to extend the downspouts down and buried a pipe system under the ground, out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. This allows the water to safely get diverted away, keeping the foundation of the home protected, and putting an end to water ruining their home's landscaping.  

When a crawlspace has moisture in it, many different issues can arise. To protect your home, proper waterproofing and maintenance are important. The homeowners began to notice condensation on their crawlspace walls and knew it was time to address their waterproofing needs. 

Our crew came out and cleaned out the debris, we then installed a SmartSump pump to collect water and divert it away from the home. Next, the space was encased in our CleanSpace 20 Mil thick vapor barrier. This was wrapped around each post footing, anchored to the walls, and fully secured to it would keep water out. We then used spray foam to waterproof and seal the foundation walls. To ensure no condensation or water moisture damaged the space we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This home is now dry and healthy. 

These homeowners hadn't thought much about their crawlspace, it had a vapor barrier when the home was purchased, and since then, the space had been left as is. That is until a pipe burst under the house. After getting the pipe fixed, they were informed that there was caked un mud throughout the crawlspace, and the old vapor barrier would need to be replaced. 

When we inspected the house, our design specialist found water stains along the foundation walls, showing that water was common under the home, the pooling was not just from the pipe. We removed the old vapor barrier and then installed a three-inch perforated pipe along the interior parameter to collect the groundwater and direct it to a newly installed SmartSump pump. From here the water is taken away from the home and out via a LawnScape outlet. With the water now being moved away so it wouldn't flood the crawlspace, we laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. 

This home had a majority of their basement waterproofed and finished years ago, but had installed a sump pump that they built themselves. While their drainage system was still keeping the finished basement dry, the sump pump was no longer able to keep up with the water levels. To get help, they called John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our crew came out and cleared out the old sump pump. We installed a SuperSump pump and UltraSump backup. We then installed a discharge line that would direct the water out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. This would ensure that the water stayed away from the home's foundation. This home will now stay dry and healthy! 

These homeowners had water leaking into their basement through the foundation walls. The leak had gotten worse and water would pool along the floor. For help, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing.

Our crews began by installing our WaterGaurd drainage system along the interior parameter of the basement. We also installed our ThermalDry wall panels to divert water down to this drainage system. From here water is directed to the newly installed SuperSump plus and then pushed out and away from the home. This home will now be dry and healthy!

Oddly high energy bills, a likely reason for this is falling insulation and a poorly insulated crawlspace. Regular fiberglass insulation is not meant to be in a crawlspace, with any water, moisture, or condensation, it gets water weight and falls apart. 

To solve this issue we recommend crawlspace-specific insulation. For this home, we removed the debris and falling insulation. We then laid down our TerraBlock insulation. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect the groundwater and push it out and away from the home. We then isolated each wooden pier with our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier, this is also laid throughout the crawlspace for a clean and dry barrier. The walls were then insulated with spray foam and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control the humidity levels in this space. It will now be dry and healthy, and the homeowners can save on their energy bills. 

This home had old copper pipes that wear showing their age in the kitchen sink. The homeowners also had an outdated water heater, when they saw an energy-efficient water heater, they knew that an upgrade would do wonders for their energy bill. For help, they called in our plumbing division. 

Our plumbers began by removing the old copper pipes and upgrading to pex pipes throughout the home. While the sink pipes had been the easy ones for the homeowners to see wear and tear, further investigation showed that the copper pipes throughout the home were in need of an upgrade. Once the pipes were upgraded we removed the old water heater and properly installed the new energy efficient one. 

This basement had cracks appearing along the baseboards in this unfinished basement. When heavy rains came, water crept up through these cracks, and in some places, it caused pooling water to appear. To address this, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

To solve this our crew installed a WaterGaurd drainage system, this is installed by digging a trench along with the interior parameter. This directs all groundwater to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From there all water is pushed out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. This home is now dry and healthy and the homeowners are very excited to not have to stress over basement water intrusion again. 

This home's basement had been left unfinished for a while, but the homeowners needed more space and decided to tap into the unused potential of their home. After doing research they decided to protect this investment and waterproof the basement and then finish it. 

To begin our crew worked on the waterproofing aspect. This meant digging a trench along with the interior parameter and installing a WaterGaurd drainage system. This will collect any water and move it along to a newly installed SuperSump pump. From here the water is moved a safe distance out and away from the home. The walls were then covered in our ThermalDry radiant wall system. This will help the space retain its temperature, lowering the home's energy costs, and also waterproofs the walls to protect the space. We then installed our EverLast wall system and ThermalDry floor panels to create waterproofed and finished space. The homeowners were happy to have added this useable space to their homes.  

This home had a partially finished basement. The home had a few walls erected to section of storage space and the laundry room. However, the space was not waterproofed before this was done, and the walls were showing water mold where the walls met the foundation. The homeowners had painted over the mold with mold killer, but the mold kept on coming back. The homeowners were ready to address the issue, and waterproof this space. 

To begin our crews removed all of the molded wall pieces. We than installed a WaterGaurd drainage system and SuperSump pump along the interior parameter. These will collect groundwater and move it along out and away from the homes foundation. The walls were then covered in our ThermalDry wall panels. These will direct any moisture on the walls down to the new drainage system to protect the home. This space is once again ready to be used, this time it will be dry and healthy, with no more stress over mold issues. 

These homeowners had a large infestation of critters that had been nesting in their crawlspace insulation. They had a specialist come in and remove the critters, but in doing so, a majority of the old insulation was damaged. The homeowners wanted to keep their home well insulated and protected against any further animal issues so they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew arrived and removed the old insulation and debris from under the home. We than laid down and secured CleanSpace into place. This woven material is protected with our twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears. It is secured into place to make a water tight seal. We than installed SilverGlo panels to the foundation walls and air sealed the space to keep critters out. As a final level of protection we added in new vent covers and a new Turtl crawlspace entryway. This home will now be dry and healthy.  

This homeowners house only had one bathroom, and as their kids grew up, this became more of an issue. To ensure their home would be able accommodate their family they had added an addition onto their home. This would add one new bedroom and a second bathroom. The space was fully framed but they needed to get the plumbing added in. To get the job done they had our plumbing division out to help them. 

Our plumbers added in the new piping for the bathroom sink, toilet, and bathtub/shower. With all of the plumbing lines in place, the general contractors were able to come back in to complete work on this families home addition. 

This home had a high ceiling in its crawlspace. It still had a dirt floor, and the homeowners didn't want to dig down here to create a basement, however, they did want to waterproof the area and use it for storage space. They had originally laid down some plastic sheets to place storage boxes on, but these showed signs of water mold, upon inspection high humidity was found in the crawlspace, which had led to the mold spores growth. 

Our crew began by cleaning out the debris from under the home. We then installed a SmartSump pump to divert groundwater out and away from the foundation of the home. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is slide under each wooden post, and is anchored along the walls for a watertight seal. To add insulation as well as an air seal the space we used spray foam along the foundation walls. As a final layer of protection, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to make this environment dry and healthy. 

High levels of water under a home can lead to many different issues that negatively affect the home and the people who live there. This home was dealing with high water levels and the long-term solution to this problem was a full crawlspace encapsulation. 

Our crew began by removing the debris from under the home. Once the space was cleared out we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. This would collect groundwater and safely divert it out and away from the foundation of the home. We then laid down a Drainage Matt over the dirt floor. On top of this was a layer of TerraBlock crawlspace insulation. We then installed SilverGlo Wall insulation on the foundation walls. To ensure a water-tight seal throughout, we then encased this all with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil barrier wraps under each wooden post, is anchored to every wall, and sealed uptight. To finish up, we installed new vent covers and a SaniDry dehumidifier. This home will now be dry and healthy for the long run! 

This home's basement had been finished a few years prior by a general contractor, but the homeowners noticed that water was coming in around the window well that had been installed in the bedroom. Because of this, a water stain was showing up, and the wall was smelling musty. To solve this issue, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by removing the damaged portions of the home, this included the carpeting in the bedroom, the drywall from two walls, and the old window well. We then installed a new window, well, and a good duct to ensure water was properly diverted. We then installed a WaterGaurd system in the basement to collect water and direct it to a new TripleSafe sump pump. To give this space insulation that could withstand water we then installed our Thermal Dry insulation along the walls to be finished over by the homeowners. 

This homeowner was concerned about her high energy bills and looking for solutions. After seeing John's Waterproofing's booth at a home show she was surprised to learn that they offered solutions for lowering utility bills. She filled out a customer information sheet and was contacted by our office the following Monday and she had an appointment scheduled with a System Designer shortly thereafter.

Upon arriving at the home, the System Designer introduced himself and got to work with his inspection of the crawlspace and attic. They then discussed the options so we could lower their utility bills and create a healthier environment in their home with insulation in the attic and encapsulating the crawlspace. The homeowner liked the plan and that the work would increase the value of the home as well.

The Installation Crew arrived and got to work right away. To begin our crew removed the old 6 mil vapor barrier and 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. 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. This is used to isolate each wooden post and all seams are sealed and it's run up and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy.  A week later, with all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation and the attic to keep the home insulated, healthy, and dry. 

The homeowner was aware he had water intrusion problems and after doing his research on area contractors, he chose John's Waterproofing due to their many years of being in business and numerous positive reviews.

Our System Designer arrived at the home a few days later and commenced a thorough inspection of the crawlspace and exterior around the foundation to help the homeowner understand what was going on and what we would do to fix it. It was discovered that the downspouts around the home were discharging too close to the foundation causing an unnecessary amount of water pressure on the foundation of the home.   

Our crew was dispatched to the home a few weeks later to get the work done. They removed the dirty old barrier and debris from the crawlspace and installed a full perimeter drainage system around the interior of the crawlspace consisting of 3" perf pipe in a silt sock and terminated to 2 lowest spots of the crawlspace. Because of the large sq footage, it was necessary to install 2 SuperSump pumps at these low spots. Downspouts were addressed with 130' of 3" PVC pipe and Sumps were discharged to the downspouts drainage, terminating at 2 NDS drains. An Everlast door replaced the rotting wood door at the exterior access point. Lastly, a new 6 mil plastic barrier was installed on all dirt surfaces and fastened to the foundation.

This homeowner can now rest assured that his crawlspace will be dry and is warrantied for 10 years. 

This customer called John's Waterproofing after a contractor informed her that her pump was improperly installed by another company, so one of our Service Techs was sent to the home to see what was going on.  The sump pump was not only improperly installed, it also needed an independent outlet. More importantly, under his skilled observation, he saw that mold was growing on the wood subfloor above as well as the beams and posts. Knowing the health dangers of mold, he worked with the homeowner to craft the perfect solution... encapsulation. 

To begin our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier, 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 lines. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was then laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace while protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored it to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stays dry and healthy. 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 and comfortable. The knowledge that it would help lower utility bills and the 25yr warranty were nice bonuses.

These homeowners had a large flat area in the crawlspace off of their garage and they wanted the water controlled so they could build a wall and create a small basement space for their kids to hang out in and encapsulate the remainder of the crawlspace that sloped up to a back wall.

The first order of business for our crew was to remove the old 6mil vapor barrier and install a 3" perforated drain system in the back part of the crawlspace that terminated at a TripleSafe sump system and was discharged to one of the rain drains outside. Then TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace and protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and is also anchored to the foundation walls. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the back and side walls of the foundation to keep the home insulated. Once completed the crew's attention was on putting WaterGuard around the perimeter of the framing of the walls of the new room. They held it in place while the concrete floor was poured and a pipe was used to connect the WaterGuard to the TripleSafe. Lasted a SaniDry XP was installed and connected with venting to service both areas. Now they had a space for the kids in a clean and healthy environment.

When the snow melted from the mountain, the water pressure on the home would increase, and the basement experienced water pooling on the hillside of the home. while the space was unfinished, it was still being used for laundry and storage space. To keep the home dry and healthy, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews went out and installed a WaterGaurd drainage system around the home's interior parameter, this collected water and pushed it along to a new TripleSafe sump pump, which then diverts all water safely away from the foundation of the home. The walls of the basement were then covered in ThermalDry panels to direct all water from the walls down into the drainage system, keeping this home dry and healthy. 

Condensation in a crawlspace can lead to mold, mildew, and rot. However, condensation isn't always as easy to find since it doesn't leave pooling or flooding, but over the years the damage can take hold. This home had condensation and water mold was found along the foundation walls. To combat this issue, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews went out and began by removing the debris from under the home and applied MoldX as needed. Once it was cleaned out, the space was encased in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven vapor barrier is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and secured in place with special four-inch waterproof tape. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry and healthy. 

When a home goes on the market, it needs to be able to meet local codes to be move-in ready. This home's crawlspace had an old vapor barrier, but it had mud encased on it, and the water levels made this home not up to standards. To get it fixed up quickly, the realtor called up John's Waterproofing to make good use of our reality program. 

This gets them a quick quote based on plans from the realtor, and we were able to get the job scheduled quickly to the home could be sold. Our crew arrived and began by clearing out the crawlspace. We then installed a drainage system. This included a SuperSump pump with a perforated pipe system to collect ground water and divert it out and away from the foundation of the home. We then installed a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help protect the home. The home is now move-in-ready! 

This basement had been partially finished, with drywall along the walls, but exposed cement flooring still. The space was used for laundry, storage, and as a small workshop. Eventually the homeowners discovered an amber color deposited near the baseboards of the walls. This was a mineral deposit stain that was occurring due to a water intrusion, which had cause leaking. Upon further inspection they discovered that the drywall was a bit squishy in the locations were mineral deposits could be found. 

To solve the issue, they called up John's Waterproofing. We began by removing the old drywall. We then dug a trench along the interior parameter of the space, and installed a drainage system; WaterGuard. This collects water and pushes it along to a newly installed SuperSump Plus, where water is then pushed safely away from the homes foundation. The walls were then covered in BrightWall panels to ensure water from the walls were filtered safely to the new drainage system. As a final protection, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space dry and healthy. 

John's Waterproofing sent a System Designer out to this home because the homeowner knew there was flooding in the crawlspace during heavy rains. As it was, the crawlspace was indeed flooded at the time so the system designer was unable to crawl around in the crawlspace. He was able to give her a proposal nonetheless and he explained to the homeowner that the crawlspace would require a "dry-out" before any work could commence. A dry-out consists of removing the 6mil plastic barrier and installing a sump pump and several large fans to facilitate removing the water and drying the space. 

Once dry enough to do the work, our installers were dispersed to do the work.  The hanging insulation and all other debris were removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed earlier to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. 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 perf system. The new owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty that accompanies our products!

The homeowner wanted to finish her wet, smelly basement, so she called on John's Waterproofing to solve the water problem and make sure she didn't have to worry about her basement after investing in remodeling. A System Designer was sent out a few weeks later and discovers problems with damaged and clogged downspouts as well as high water tables. 

WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without the worry of clogging pipes from soils 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. ThermalDry Wall is a wall system that makes the basement remodel ready and takes care of any water vapor intrusion from the walls. Now this homeowner can finish and enjoy a comfortable space without the worry of water intrusion.

This was a tri-level home with a wet finished basement and 3" of water in the crawlspace.  A System Designer was scheduled and went to the home to inspect the property thoroughly so we could solve their problem. As several family members suffered allergies, having clean air in their home was paramount to their decision making so encapsulation of the crawlspace and waterproofing of the basement, and dehumidification were the chosen solutions.

Our seasoned installers were dispatched a few weeks later. To solve the crawlspace issues, all of the debris, old insulation, and barrier were removed.  A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and posts isolated with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This barrier was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in thoroughly insulating the space. 

Next, is basement work. 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 and the discharge was sent out and connected to the newly extended downspout drainage system to keep the water directed away from the home. With 50% of the air from a basement flowing up into the main home, the homeowner opted for a SaniDry dehumidifier that was additionally vented to the crawlspace to make sure the air in the basement/crawlspace and home stayed dry and healthy. 

This home has lots of water coming from down the hill into its crawlspace. The homeowner was aware he had water intrusion problems and after doing his research on area contractors, he chose John's Waterproofing due to our many years of being in business and numerous positive reviews. Our System Designer arrived at the home a few days later and commenced doing a thorough inspection of the crawlspace and exterior around the foundation to craft a solution to suit the needs of the home.

Our crew was dispatched to the home a few weeks later to get the work done. They removed the old barrier and debris from the crawlspace and installed a full perimeter drainage system around the interior of the crawlspace consisting of 3" perf pipe in a silt sock and terminated to 2 low spots of the crawlspace. Because of the large sq footage, it was necessary to install 2 TripleSafe sumps at those low spots. Six downspouts were then addressed with 130' of 3" PVC pipe, and Sumps were discharged to the downspouts drainage, terminating at 3 NDS drains. Turtl crawlspace access replaced the previous rotting wood door.  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. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored it to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay healthy and comfortable.

This home had belonged to a family for a long time, it was a beautiful waterfront home that had an unfinished basement. The basement was fully below ground and had an exterior doorway with a pathway to the water. This space was primarily used for storage of the family's outdoor items; camping chairs, life jackets, beach umbrellas, and more. This space had experienced years of water intrusion, and while the items in storage were used frequently, they always needed to be cleaned up from water mold that would appear during the off-season. Eventually, the family was ready to end this water issue and protect their storage items, so they called up John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews arrived and began by digging a trench along with the interior parameter, where we then installed WaterGaurd. This will collect the groundwater and grade it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here all of the water is pushed out and away from the foundation of the home to exit via a LawnScape outlet. To divert the water that was appearing along the foundation walls, we then installed our BrightWall panels to ensure water is safely run down the walls to the new drainage system. As a final piece to protect this space we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy. 

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because bad smells were coming from his crawlspace and he suspected a mold problem. Our System Designer arrived, measured the home, and inspected the exterior to look for any signs that could be contributing to the problem. After inspection, it was found that there was water intrusion on a regular basis and the insulation was falling, and mold starting to grow on the posts and beams. That was where the nasty smell was coming from. The designer suggested a CleanSpace encapsulation as it was the ONLY way to get rid of the mold for good. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced installers came out and laid down barriers to keep the home free of dirt and debris. Then all of the debris, old insulation, and damaged barrier was removed.  A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and the wooden posts were isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all the seams were sealed and run up the walls, fastening under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was then installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space, keeping this home dry and healthy. 

A year earlier, a homeowner had hired John's Waterproofing to make repairs and waterproof their crawlspace to bring it to code as they readied to put the home on the market. A basic Sump pump and pipe system had been installed with a 6mil vapor barrier.  On the anniversary of the installation, the new homeowner was contacted by John's to see about doing an annual service on the system. The new owner readily agreed so a Service Tech was sent out. The Tech serviced the system and noticed some mold beginning to develop under the floor. He took photos and showed the homeowner and asked if he knew anything about encapsulation and how it could rid the home of the mold and give him additional storage space. After learning of the benefits and seeing photos of completed encapsulation the new owner was eager to get the work done. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced Installers came out and laid down barriers from the front of the home to the in-house crawlspace entry to keep the home free of dirt and debris. Then all of the debris, old insulation, and barrier were removed.  A perforated pipe drainage system was previously installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point so that work was not needed for the upgrade. So, TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

I wish I could talk to every new homebuyer of a newly built home about their crawlspace. I have found low point drains 12' higher than the low point of a hillside crawlspace. Water naturally grades down, and so the water will just pool in the low spots, never draining. This kind of ill-informed construction can happen if a contractor doesn't address the neighborhoods history of high water tables and put a weight on proper waterproofing with a homes longevity in mind. Fortunately, we have highly trained inspectors that are able to assess the problem and develop a plan to mitigate the problem. 

This customer realized that he was having water intrusion in his crawlspace after noticing that water was pooling in the low spot of the crawlspace and couldn't even reach the drainage that had originally been installed. To get professional help, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier and debris that had been originally installed. We then installed a brand new TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest portion of the crawlspace. The homes hillside grade naturally will bring the water down to this point, where it can then safely be diverted out and away from the home. We then laid down our CleanSpace vapor barrier. It is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and thoroughly sealed into place. This home now had a properly set up drainage process to keep this home dry and healthy. 

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because they were already using their tall crawlspace for storage but wanted something more durable than black plastic that would protect their things from mold.

Our System Designer showed up at the home and it was clear from the start that he knew what he was doing. He measured the home and inspected the exterior to look for any signs on the outside that could be contributing to the problem. He found the downspouts in good shape and operating as they should so the next was to go with the homeowner into the crawlspace. Due to its generous head space it was ideal for storage, and was being used as such. To ensure that these items would stay dry and healthy the homeowner opted to sign up to get a full encapsulation.

Before we began, the homeowner had cleared the crawlspace of all the items stored to make way for the crew. Our crews then arrived and removed all of the debris, old insulation, and black 6mil vapor barrier.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump pump at the lowest point. TerraBlock was then laid on the dirt floor to aid insulation and also protect the CleanSpace barrier.  All the vents were sealed and the posts isolated. The 20mil nylon-reinforced barrier; CleanSpace, was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home and crawlspace. Finally, a single cell spray foam was applied to the rim joist and foundation walls to bring the insulation to the required R factor for insulating the space. Now the homeowner had a clean and usable storage area and a cleaner and healthier home!

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because of the continual flooding of their basement. They wanted to use the basement for more living space, but they knew it was impossible unless the flooding problems were solved. A System Designer went to the home and walked with the homeowner through the basement and educated them about WaterGuard, an effective and reliable way to solve wet basement problems-permanently! They also discussed various options available for finishing the basement space from semi-finishing products to a full finished look.

The homeowner wanted a nice space that could be put together quickly. First, the WaterGuard was installed and the gutter system was taken to a TripleSafe Sump System to protect their finished basement investment in the event of a power outage. Once completed, ThermalDry Wall panels, a flexible vapor barrier that helps to insulate the basement was installed. Over that, EverLast Finished Wall Restoration was installed. This beautiful prefinished wall product can be installed in a fraction of the time that framing and drywall can be installed. No sanding, no dust, and time saved. The trim used is mold and mildew proof and no painting is needed.  The finishing touch was laying ThermalDry Elite plank flooring. This durable product gives the basement the warm look of wood and will not be affected by moisture. Now in less than half the time of regular refinishing, this basement is ready to use for the family.

This homeowner had only recently bought this home and when the rains hit, they saw that water was pooling on top of the vapor barrier. Further investigation revealed that the low point drain had been installed higher than the dirt level of the crawlspace, so the water wasn't draining as intended. Sadly, we see this far too often in new home construction. A System Designer was sent to help the homeowner with a plan that would solve the issues and warranty the work. 

After accepting the proposal, a time was set for an installation crew to go to the home and do the work needed to bring the home into compliance with local laws. First, the old vapor barrier was removed and a drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the crawlspace interior. This consisted of digging a trench and putting in a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock and grading the system down to the lowest spot of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed in a special container designed specifically for our pumps with an airtight lid, floor drain, and alarm. The homeowner also chose to add a battery backup pump to protect the system in the event of a power outage. The pumps were discharged to a rain drain for water removal. A new 6mil black plastic vapor barrier was installed over the floor of the crawlspace, overlapped a minimum of 18" and brought up the foundation walls and fastened just under the rim joist. This assures that any water from the walls or footing will be driven into the drainage system and safely moved away from the home.

This basement was mostly used for storage and laundry. The homeowners were used to dealing with some water leaking into this space, however after a heavy rain, the found inches of water pooling under their staircase. They quickly moved the items around to keep things as dry as possible, and then called up John's Waterproofing for a waterproofing solution. 

Our crew arrived and began by installing a drainage system. This included an interior parameter WaterGaurd system grading the water to a new SuperSump pump. From here all water is pushed out and away from the home, out via a LawnScape outlet. To keep moisture from the foundation walls from entering the basement we then installed ThermalDry wall panels to divert all water safely down to the drainage system. As a final protective piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space was dry and healthy. 

This customer was sure her sump pump wasn't working and she didn't know who installed it but, after hearing good things about John's Waterproofing, she opted to call us for help.  A System Designer was scheduled to come out and examine the situation to help them understand what was happening in their crawlspace and the different options for repair. One of the things that disturbed the homeowner was seeing all of the mold in the crawlspace. She knew that mold could cause serious health problems and this was not acceptable for her family. Our System Designer walked her through encapsulation and how it was the only effective way to prevent mold. He explained that while we could kill the mold, unless the crawlspace was completely sealed and a dehumidifier installed, mold spores would come back in via the vents and attach to the wood and thrive in the present high humidity. Encapsulation was chosen by the homeowner and the work was scheduled. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced Installers came out and laid down barriers to keep the home free of dirt and debris. Then all of the debris, old insulation and damaged vapor barrier were removed.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed at the lowest point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor to provide insulation, the vents were sealed, and wooden posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

This customer called after seeing our booth at a Home and Garden Show and wanted to know more about encapsulation and what the price would be. A System Designer was sent out to the residence to do a thorough examination of the crawlspace and sit with the homeowner to discuss the many ways that encapsulation would benefit his home and family. The homeowner accepted the proposal and was set up for installation

An Installation crew was sent to the home to do the work. The first order of business was to remove the vapor barrier, debris, and fiberglass insulation. Next, a drainage system, consisting of a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock was installed around the interior perimeter and graded to the lowest spot in the crawlspace where a TripleSafe Sump Pump had been installed. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the entire dirt floor of the crawlspace to aid in insulating the space. Next, CleanSpace, a 20mil nylon-reinforced, heavy-duty plastic vapor barrier was installed over the TerraBlock, and all seams were sealed. It was also used to isolate all the posts. CleanSpace was also run up the foundation walls and attached just under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity down and the air continuously filtered. The vents were sealed and a Turtl access well was installed. Lastly, a single cell Spray Foam was applied to all of the foundation walls to complete the sealing of the crawlspace and to complete the insulation of the space. 

A young man from our maintenance department went to service a sump pump that we had installed the previous year. We always call our customers to remind them when their annual service is approaching because we know that people have busy lives and often forget. Our tech went out to service the SuperSump and they got to chatting. She had only bought the house the year before and knew nothing about crawlspaces or sump pumps and why they were needed. He patiently answered all of her questions and then he mentioned to her that we had a great upgrade to her system and that she might be interested.  After she learned about our full encapsulation and all it offered in energy savings, health benefits for her and her family, while protecting and increasing the value of her home, she was eager to get this project started. 

An installation crew removed all of the debris including the old vapor barrier and dirty insulation. She didn't need a new drain system or sump pump so that remained as it was. TerraBlock, is a high-density foam barrier that helps with insulation and protects the CleanSpace barrier. CleanSpace is a 20mil, nylon-reinforced polyethylene fabric that was laid over the TerraBlock. All the seams were sealed and it was attached to the foundation walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air clean and dry. Then, with all the vents sealed, a single cell Spray Foam was applied to the foundation walls to complete the insulation of the crawlspace. Because she has a tall crawlspace, it's also now a great place for extra storage without any worry that her possessions will get moldy.

This homeowner called John's Waterproofing because he suspected his old sump pump was no longer working. A System Designer was scheduled to check things out and he discovered that there were big problems with the crawlspace. Not only was the sump pump not working, but there was also clear evidence that the water levels were extremely high at times by virtue of the vapor barrier being heavily covered in silt and the present watermarks on the posts. This meant that the crawlspace was getting 2-3' of water at times and had been for a while. Luckily for the homeowner, the posts had not suffered any rotting yet. If they had been, it would have cost quite a bit to replace all of them. To address the sump pump, it was not in the low spot of the crawl space and there was no drain system to collect water, so it couldn't collect groundwater in an efficient manner at all. The System Designer sat down with the homeowner and explained everything and gave a proposal that was readily accepted. 

The crew arrived as scheduled and got to work removing the old barrier and the inefficient sump pump and other debris. They dug out a trench and installed a drainage system consisting of a 3" perforated pipe that was in a silt sock to keep it from clogging and was graded to a new SuperSump pump that was correctly installed at the lowest spot. A new discharge line was installed to divert water safely out and away from the home. Lastly, a new 6mil vapor barrier was laid throughout the dirt floor and overlapped a minimum of 18", It was also run up the foundation walls where it was attached just below the level of the vents. This was done so that any water coming into the footing would be captured and go to the drainage system and not on top of the barrier. 

This homeowner had battled an unfinished leaky basement for years and she was fed up. She called John's Waterproofing to find out what could be done about it.  One of our System Designers went to the home and introduced himself. They both went down to the basement to see the issue and the designer worked on a solution to the issue. The System Designer took lots of pictures, measured, and sketched out the basement all the while explaining to the homeowner how hydrostatic pressure was the cause and how it worked against the footing of the basement. 

The installation crew came as scheduled and got to work with a jackhammer and removed about 4" of the concrete around the perimeter of the basement being cautious to leave the footing alone. Other members of the crew took buckets to haul out the broken concrete. The WaterGuard was installed and terminated at a new UltraSump System and proper discharge was completed. The homeowner had BrightWall installed all the way around and what a difference it made. Her dreary basement is now light and bright with the BrightWall panels installed and she is thrilled and wondering why she waited so long!

Many of our customers become dismayed when they learn that they will need a sump pump in their finished basement. We often suggest that they build a cabinet around it and take the discharge line up the wall behind the drywall and then discharge it. This customer did do a very clever disguise of their sump pump. They had a finished basement and created a small cubby space where they took an old end table-type cabinet and used it to house the SuperSump Pump and hid the discharge line in the wall. Hats off to this homeowner!

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because they found pooling water in their crawlspace and they were very concerned about the damage that could ensue. Our System Designer showed up at the home and after a professional introduction, he got to work by measuring the home and inspecting the exterior to look for any signs that could be contributing to the problem. He found the downspouts in good shape, but under the home there was a large water intrusion with falling insulation and mold starting to grow on the wooden posts and beams. The designer suggested a CleanSpace encapsulation to remedy all of the issues.

A few weeks later our experienced Installers came out and laid down barriers to keep the home free of dirt and debris. Then all of the debris, old insulation, and old vapor barrier were removed.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the lowest point. TerraBlock insulation was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and all posts were isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was then installed and all seams were sealed and run up the walls, fastening under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in fully insulating the space.

These homeowners noticed water pooling around two of their downspouts and was creeping into their unfinished basement. With their basement being used for laundry and storage, they wanted to find a solution to their issues before a bigger problem ensued. For help, they asked some neighbors about waterproofing companies, and heard about John's Waterproofing. They called us up, had a thorough inspection inside and out of their home, and a solution was crafted to address their water problems. 

To begin our crew addressed the exterior of the home. We extended the downspouts under the ground. These now brought the water safely down and well away from the homes foundation. We then went into the basement and began by digging a trench along the interior parameter. This is where we laid down a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. Along the walls we installed our BrightWall panels, these would divert water down the walls to the new drain system. This would allow the water to safely move the water along the drain system to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump and then out and away from the home. As a final piece to this waterproofing solution we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep moisture levels controlled. 

We have customers that will talk about how their home had no water issues so they had finished their basement with no waterproofing beforehand. While it's good there was no water present, foundations have a way of shifting and changing over the years. This can be due to hydrostatic pressure, new construction, changing landscaping, or just settling. This homeowner called because the basement they had finished years before, now had soaking wet carpet in their basement bedroom. The bedframe nearest the wall was ruined from mold spores festering where they couldn't see, and they were trying to dry out the space to protect the remaining items from damage. 

Our crew began by helping remove the soaked carpeting, and removing the water damaged drywall that was present. We then installed a WaterGuard drainage system around the interior parameter which graded all collected water down to the SuperSump plus which then diverts all water safely out and away from the homes foundation. Along the walls we installed out ThermalDry wall panels to insulate the space and provide waterproofing to the walls. As a final piece we added in a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry so mold spores couldn't take hold. The homeowners were going to refinish the space, and now they can do so with ease knowing the space will be protected from water issues. 

When snow and ice melts, it brings added moisture to this home in Government Camp. The homeowners figured this would be a lasting issue and would keep items away from the hillside portion of the basement and clean up that area when the heavy melt finally passed through for the year. However, after discussing this with a neighbor, the homeowners learned this didn't need to be the case, and was referred to John's Waterproofing. 

When our installation crew arrived we dug a trench along the interior parameter of the home. This will be the new drainage system for the space to collect the groundwater and moisture from the newly covered BrightWall panels along the walls. The drainage system is our WaterGuard product which naturally grades this collected water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is safely diverted out to a LawnScape outlet. The homeowners are thrilled with how fresh the finished waterproofing job looked and are excited to no longer have to worry about water issues. 

A crawlspace needs to be closed off from the exterior elements to keep it protected, however a lot of older construction companies believed leaving it open was a better option. Because of this outdated way of addressing crawlspaces, we end up working with older homes often to seal it up. This older home needed to be sealed up, they learned from an ad we have that when a crawlspace is open, this increases a homes energy bills, invites critters, and has it open to weather issues. To address this concern, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. 

Our installation crew arrived and began by clearing out the space, we then replaced the vent covers to seal them up. Next, we installed a SmartSump in the lowest portion of the space to collect ground water and then move it safely out and away from the home. Next, they laid out a layer of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is a 20 Mil woven material that is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the rim joists, and fully sealed into place. We then air sealed the space and finished by installing a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry and healthy, and now, no longer affected by exterior elements. 

Customer called because they wanted to be "proactive" in regards to their crawlspace. A System Designer went to the home to inspect and there was an active plumbing leak occurring which had led to pooling water in the crawlspace. Due to the amount of water, it was impossible to navigate the space thoroughly. We had to dry out the space, fix the plumbing issue and then we could address waterproofing the space. To begin, a crew was sent out to put a couple of sump pumps and fans in the crawlspace to start the process of drying it out. Our plumbers then arrived and found there was a broken sewage line which had caused the water issue. So hazmat had to be contacted for the removal of the sewage and treatment of the waste before any work could be done. After that was accomplished, the crew was able to go out and complete the dry out and work could commence.

The homeowners had opted to do an encapsulation so the installers got to work to start trenching to a new perforated pipe system and installation of the TripleSafe sump pump. The debris had been removed by the hazmat company so after installing the drain system, the crew laid down TerraBlock, a 3/4" flexible foam insulation sandwiched in a plastic barrier that adds R-value and is puncture resistance. Over the TerraBlock goes the CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is a 20mil, nylon-reinforced plastic vapor barrier. It is fastened to the foundation walls just under the rim joist. The vents around the crawlspace are sealed with EverLast plastic covers and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at bay and filter the air. Lastly, a 3" layer of closed cell spray foam is applied to the foundation walls and rim joist, effectively sealing off the crawlspace and insulating the home to industry standards.

This homeowner was putting her home for sale and had the home inspected to check for any complications. This led to the discovery that the crawlspace was not code compliant. Fortunately for her, John's Waterproofing has a special program designed for Real Estate transactions that give buyers and sellers special discounting provided they elect to do the work prior to the close of escrow. Needing to make sure her home was salable, she elected to get the work done right away.  

A system Designer came to the home and did a thorough inspection and measured the home so she could give her a proposal showing the discount and terms of the discount. She opted to do the work as she didn't want anything to dissuade a seller. 

A crew was dispatched to the home a few weeks later. In the crawlspace, the old barrier and insulation were removed. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water, discharging it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace. This is attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the system. Now the crawlspace was up to code and wouldn't prevent a sale from going smoothly.

This call was about an older house on the lake. It had been in the family for over 75 years and the basement had been flooding for a majority of this time. The customer wanted it fixed as he wanted to be able to finish it for an extra room. The system designer arrived at the home to find 2" of water in the basement and a lot of personal items wet and damaged. The designer took measurements and then sat with the homeowner, explaining how the water was traveling downhill above their home to the lake and, combined with the high water tables. This combined, caused excess water pressure to occur, breeching through the foundation into the space. The good news was that John's Waterproofing had the perfect solution that had a lifetime warranty!

The first thing the installation crew needed to do was get rid of the existing water. The homeowner had cleared everything out of the basement, so the crew was able to install a couple of temporary sump pumps to get the water removed. WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without the worry of clogging pipes from soils under the floor. Our crew installed it around the perimeter, terminating it at a newly installed TripleSafe sump system. It has a 1/3hp primary pump, a 1/2hp backup pump that will kick in if the primary pump fails or needs help, and a battery backup to assure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. Brightwall is 100% inorganic, waterproof, and washable and it was chosen for the walls for a semi-finished look. Once installed, it creates a vapor barrier for your walls that will hold back water and humidity. It is tucked into the WaterGuard drainage system. The homeowner also purchased a SaniDryXP dehumidifier to keep the basement dry and air filtered. Now this homeowner can finish and enjoy a comfortable space without the worry of water intrusion.

It's a big concern to people when they realize their crawlspace is wet and the old fiberglass insulation is a mess. This is an easy sign to know that repairs are needed. After looking online, they opted for John's Waterproofing. 

A system designer arrived at the home to inspect the crawlspace and take detailed measurements so they would have an accurate proposal. They took numerous photos to show the customer what was going on. He designed a proposal, one step at a time, with the customer so he would understand his options and what was necessary. Once completed, the customer signed and the repairs were booked. 

Our System Installers were dispersed to do the work. The old 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 pump and an UltraSump battery backup were installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the dirt floor and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the pipe system. The owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty we include with our products and work!

Brokers looking for figures to negotiate a sale are always in a hurry. To accommodate this time frame we have a set specialist for realty needs. We can get approximate numbers to a broker in 1-2 days and, if they decide to move forward, an full inspection is done to give the broker a hard number to work with. This particular home had water intruding up to a few inches on top of the barrier. This, in the least, requires a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic, so the home can pass inspection and the new owners are happy.

Our System installers were dispersed to do the work. The old barrier, hanging insulation and all other debris was removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a TripleSafe Sump pump was installed due to the amount of water intrusion to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. 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 pipe system. 

A crawlspace is easy to overlook, it is often seen as out of sight and out of mind. If a waterproofing system is in place, this can be just fine, but without a full system set up, this can lead to numerous issues. For this home in particular the issues that arose were; muddy dirt floor, signs of critters, and water heavy fiberglass falling to stripes. To fix up these issues and keep their home healthy, they called up John's Waterproofing for a free inspection and quote. 

They homeowners wanted to set up their crawlspace so it wouldn't have to be a constant worry, to do this, they opted for our full crawlspace encapsulation. To begin out crew removed the old insulation and general debris. Once the space was cleaned out we installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This is installed in the lowest spot of the crawlspace so water can naturally grade to it, all water is then diverted out and away from the home. To insulate we then laid down TerraBlock over the dirt floor. Next we encased the area with CleanSpace. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is inserted under each wooden post, anchored on the walls, and fully sealed in place. We then applied spray foam to the foundation walls to insulate the walls. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space remains dry and healthy. 

After finding water in their crawlspace these homeowners laid down some store bought plastic barrier to try to protect their home. However after checking out how this worked when heavy rains arrived, they found the water level over the vapor barrier and pooling. They had looked online to see if they could fix the issue on their own, but after doing their researched, they opted to bring in the professionals. 

To begin helping them out, our installation crew removed the DIY plastic. We then did a dry-out of the space so we could work under the home. Once the space was dry enough that we could work, we installed a perforated pipe system throughout the space to collect groundwater. This drain system will grade all collected water to a newly installed SuperSump Pump, which then pushes water out and away from the home. We then laid down a 6 Mil black vapor barrier, having this run up the foundation walls to keep the space dry and healthy. 

This home had water pooling under the home, and had filled the space up with excess dirt that was being pushed into the crawlspace. The Homeowners knew this could cause ongoing issues for their home, so they called up John's Waterproofing to have the space fixed up to meet local codes and prevent this from occurring again. 

To begin our crew replaced the exterior entrance with a Turtl entryway, this will stop mud from pooling down under the home in the future. Next, our crew hauled out dirt from under the home. Once the space met local height requirements for a crawlspace we then began installing a new drainage system. This consists of a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock throughout the space to collect groundwater and send it to a newly installed SuperSump Plus. From here the water was directed safely out and away from the foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier, with this run up the foundation walls eighteen inches to help keep the water and moisture directed to the new drain system. 

The manager of this apartment complex called because one of the units was experiencing water intrusion in the crawlspace below. A system designer went out and met with the manager to do an inspection and explain what John's Waterproofing could do to remedy the problem. The manager said they would prefer to do the repairs from the exterior and, though we prefer to do it from the interior for a longer-lasting result, we do all we can to accommodate our customers, so we did the work from the exterior. 

The installation crew was sent out to do the work. A trench was dug down below the footing of the foundation as well as a pit large enough to accommodate an 18" culvert that extended to the footing to house the sump pump. A combination of ParaSeal and TremDrain was then used to waterproof the foundation wall. TremDrain is a two-part prefabricated drainage material and protection board consisting of a formed polystyrene core covered on one side with a nonwoven, needle-punched, polypropylene fabric. This fabric allows water to pass into the drainage core while restricting the movement of soil particles. The plastic core provides compressive strength and moderate flow capacity. A footing drain was installed around the perimeter and terminated at the sump pump and the water was pumped safely away from the complex.

The owners of this home were experiencing breathing problems and their doctor recommended checking the crawlspace. A system designer was sent to the home and he found a real mess. It had been neglected for years and now water, animal feces, dead rodents, mold, falling insulation and construction debris abounded. With all of these present it was no wonder they were feeling the effects of mold and air drafts upward from a crawlspace, so they were breathing all of those elements within their home. Mold grows when humidity exceeds 60 degrees and it was 74 degrees in the crawlspace. The system designer explained that encapsulation was the only sure way to get rid of and control mold so, to create a healthy home for their family, they were all in. 

A crew came out later and got to work removing the old barrier and dirty fiberglass insulation that was falling down. They installed a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock around the full perimeter of the crawlspace grading it to a SuperSump system (a primary pump with a battery backup pump to assure it would continue to operate in the event of a power outage) which then pushed water out and away from the foundation. Following this, they laid TerraBlock, a 3/4" flexible foam insulation sandwiched in a plastic barrier that adds R-value, is puncture resistance, as well as padding when walking or crawling in this space. Over the TerraBlock goes the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 20mil, nylon-reinforced plastic vapor barrier. It is used to isolate the posts with all the seams sealed, and fastened to the foundation walls just under the rim joist. The vents around the crawlspace were sealed and closed cell spray foam was applied to the foundation walls, effectively encapsulating the space and insulating the home to industry standards. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at bay and filter the air. The homeowner reported a big change in their health a few months later. 

These homeowners were new to the Pacific Northwest and they had just purchased their new home. They reached out to an inspector to have another opinion on their home's wellness, and they found the crawlspace to have signs that it has been wet. To solve this, the inspector recommended John's Waterproofing. A System Designer went out to do an inspection and help them understand more about crawlspaces as well as some of the science involved. They quickly determined that encapsulation was their choice for the improvements to air quality, home value, and lowering their energy bills.

After arriving a few weeks later our crew got right to work and removed the old 6mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris. Though it was determined that water intrusion wasn't an issue, they installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to direct it to a TripleSafe sump container so, if in the future water became an issue, it would be a simple procedure to add a pump without having to cut open the new CleanSpace barrier. 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. This is used to isolate each wooden post and then anchored to the foundation walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, a closed cell Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated and free of mold. The new homeowners were thrilled with the result and excited to save on energy bills, too!

A call came in from a broker who was representing a buyer. The buyer was concerned about the moisture on the molding that was found in the basement by the property inspector. One of our system designers went out to take a look and, with his moisture meter, concurred with the findings of the inspector. He explained the benefits of WaterGuard. WaterGuard is an effective and reliable interior gutter system that will solve wet basement problems permanently! It was decided to do a partial system and the system designer assured them that the system could be added to at a later date if needed.

The finished wall had to be removed about 36" up to install the WaterGuard and 24" of the floor had to be removed to allow the WaterGuard to be installed on the foundation footing. The system was installed to lead the water to a SuperSump pump and discharged to a LawnScape outlet out from the home. ThermalDry wall panels was fastened to the wall to drive any incoming moisture to the WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard was sealed over to give a smooth and clean finish for the homeowners.  

This home had a small basement room with a crawlspace along the hillside. The Crawlspace boasted a generally tall space, and the homeowners used the space for storage. While the home had the basement area waterproofed when it was built, the crawlspace had been overlooked. The homeowners had a simple vapor barrier installed in the space, and the moisture here was causing mold spores to appear on the items in storage, and rips and tears were appearing in the barrier where storage items were frequently moved around. To make this space easier to use and safe for their items, they reached out to John's Waterproofing for a solution. 

To create a safe space that wouldn't succumb to water issues and could remain intact with movement, the homeowners choose our encapsulation option. To begin we cleared out the old vapor barrier, old fiberglass insulation, and debris. They laid down TerraBlock insulation over the floor for insulation and to protect the CleanSpace barrier. CleanSpace was laid over the TerraBlock and seams were sealed and it was attached to the foundation walls. This is a 20Mil nylon-reinforced barrier that is accompanied by a twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears, making it a great solution. The vents were then sealed and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep the space dry and healthy. Our spray foam specialist arrived later to apply closed-cell foam on all of the foundation walls effectively encasulating the crawlspace.

A homeowner contacted us with concerns that her sump pump was no longer working. She didn't know who installed it and felt sure the system needed updating. A System Designer was sent to the home to help. He did a thorough inspection and took several photos and measured the space so he could help the homeowner understand what was going on. He then presented several options to address the issue, and the homeowner chose to go with a full encapsulation. However, on the installation day, the homeowner explained that unforeseen financial issues had come up, and they were going to switch solutions. They ended up moving forward with one of the simpler proposals consisting of a drainage system and a 6mil vapor barrier. To still ensure the system was done on schedule, our warehouse manager headed to the job that day to bring the needed change of materials.

While they waited for the 6mil black plastic to arrive, the crew had plenty to do with the removal of the old vapor barrier, failing fiberglass insulation, the old sump pump and trenching around the perimeter of the crawlspace to install a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock to collect the water and direct it to a new SuperSump pump and proper discharge. Once the needed material changes arrived, they then laid down the 6mil vapor barrier. The homeowner was thrilled they were able to still have a system installed, and were happy that they were able to keep on the original schedule for installation. 

This home was on a sloped property. The crawlspace was tall and roomy but wet and in need of reconditioning. A System Designer was sent out to the property and inspected both the interior and exterior of the home, taking photos and measurements. He sat at the kitchen table and built a proposal for the homeowner while explaining the purpose for everything he was suggesting. It made sense to the homeowner so he signed the proposal and was scheduled for the next available calendar space.

The Installation crew arrived and began the work by removing all of the debris like the old vapor barrier, dirty fiberglass installation and assorted construction debris. They set up fans, temporary sump pumps, and large fans to dry out the crawlspace sufficiently before we could continue work. A few weeks later, it was dry enough to proceed. The first order of business was to install a perimeter perforated pipe drain system. The slope of the crawlspace aided in directing the drain system to the low spot of the crawlspace to a TripleSafe sump pump to collect the water and discharge it properly. TerraBlock, a flexible, dense foam product was laid on the dirt floor. This was a critical step in insulation and protecting the CleanSpace barrier from punctures and tears. The CleanSpace barrier was added next and all the seams were sealed with the barrier fastened to the foundation walls just below the rim joist. All of the vents were sealed and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to assure the humidity was properly controlled and the air continually filtered. The final step was applying 3" of single-cell spray foam to the foundation walls and rim joist. Now the space was equipped to keep the air in the home clean, kill mold and mildew spores, providing a great space to safely store personal items!

A homeowner called, unhappy that water was coming into their two basement bedrooms. The rest of the basement was unfinished. A System Designer was sent to the home and he was able to discern that the problem was coming from the 2 large egress windows found in the bedrooms. Although he suggested a full perimeter system, the homeowner opted for only doing the bedrooms where problems were present. She was assured that the system could be added onto at a later date if needed. 

When the installation crew arrived, they removed the drywall where the egress windows were and found water stains. A trench was created by removing 6" of concrete along the area and WaterGuard, an award-winning drain system specifically designed for basements was placed then covered with concrete. The WaterGuard terminated at a TripleSafe sump pump in the space between the rooms and discharged out and attached to the rain drain system for removal of the water. WellDucts were installed to catch the overflow from the egress window wells and tucked into the flange in the back of the WaterGuard. ThermalDry Wall was also tucked into the WaterGuard to protect the space from moisture from the foundation as well as providing insulation. Our finishing team arrived a few days later and repaired the wall and it was refinished.

This home was a new purchase for a young couple and they didn't realize that there was problems with the crawlspace.  They had come across John's Waterproofing's booth at a home and garden show and figured they should have their crawlspace inspected because they didn't know what was going on under their home. After a full inspection the crawlspace, the System Designer sat with the young couple and took time explaining how water was getting in, the different options they had to fix the problem and how much each option would cost. They chose to have the water addressed and to replace the vapor barrier. 

The installation crew arrived and after one look, knew they had their work cut out for them because the crawlspace floor was full of rock that averaged 4-6" in diameter. No doubt this was put in the crawlspace in a failed attempt to keep the water off of the existing barrier and now they had to remove enough of it to install a full drainage system. They got right at it and graded the system to a SuperSump pump we installed in the low spot of the crawlspace. The sump pump then diverts the water underground well out into the yard to a LawnScape outlet. A new 6 mil vapor barrier was installed over the crawlspace floor, overlapping, and attaching to the foundation walls to assure that any water entering through the footing would be captured by the new drainage system. 

A homeowner stopped at our booth at a Home and Garden show and was intrigued. She said that she had never looked in her crawlspace so we encouraged her to allow us to come out and perform a free inspection. Upon arrival, the System Designer lifted the crawlspace hatch that was in a bedroom closet and discovered approximately 6" of standing water. Due to the present water, the designer was unable to inspect the crawlspace. He explained how dire the situation and how dangerous the water was to the wood in her crawlspace and her health, if left as it was, it could cost her a lot of money in structural repairs. She was encouraged to allow us to drain the crawlspace and set up a continuous drain system to keep the water out. 

The first order of business was to remove the water so the crawlspace could be thoroughly examined. A specialty crew went to the home to remove the flooded vapor barrier and set up some temporary pumps with several large fans. Three weeks later, the crawlspace was found to be dry enough for reinspection. The System Designer returned and discovered 3 posts with extensive water damage that would need to be replaced so he adjusted her original proposal and scheduled the work. The installation team came later and installed a perforated pipe drainage system that terminated in the low spot where a TripleSafe sump system had been installed. The drainage from the sump pump was led out far into the yard to a surface drain so the water would stay away from the home. The damaged posts were then replaced with SmartJacks which can be adjusted to suit the home. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier to help this home stay dry and healthy. 

When a funky smell was pointed out in this home, the homeowner was concerned. They noted the smell seemed to be coming from their crawlspace. To have someone out to thoroughly inspect the issue, they called up John's Waterproofing. Our specialist found damp places along the foundation walls, and high humidity. Because of the moisture in the air, the present fiberglass insulation was drooping from water weight. Mold spores were appearing on the wooden beams under the home, this is what was causing the funky smell in the home. 

To remedy the water problem out installation crew arrived and pulled out the old insulation and debris from under the home. Next Mold X was applied as needed. To ensure mold spores wouldn't take hold again, we installed an encapsulation system. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest spot, this has a perforated pipe drainage system in a silt sock graded to it, and water is then pushed out of the home. We then added TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor. Next we brought in CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier. This is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place. The foundation walls then have spray foam installed to insulate and a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep mold from appearing again. 

This basement had moisture beads collecting along their foundation walls. The space was primarily used for storage, and some of the boxes here had mold spores growing. The homeowners had upgraded their storage to plastic bins, but they knew that mold spores could still be present and wanted to protect the health of their home. Through their online search, they were directed to John's Waterproofing. 

To solve the water issue we began by digging a trench along the interior parameter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel and a full WaterGuard drainage system. this naturally grads the water in this space to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is sent out and away from the homes foundation. To ensure the moisture was directed from the wall to this system we then installed BrightWall paneling to the foundation walls. This is a non-organic material that will not mold and brightens the space while giving a semi-finished appearance. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to filter and keep the air healthy. 

This basement was recently cleaned out and became a home gym. While cleaning up they noticed some damp spots along the basement floors, and wanted to have this addressed. They planned on having the space fully finished but knew water damage was a costly issue if left unchecked. 

Our installation crew arrived and dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here they installed a WaterGuard drainage system. This collects all of the water and grades it to a TripleSafe sump pump and then shoots the water out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. The walls were then insulated with our ThermalDry radiant barrier. This system sets the basement up to be fully finished at the homeowners leisure. 

This homeowner called complaining of smells coming from her attic. She assumed it was coming from the old insulation and she wanted it replaced. While she was partially correct, during his inspection, our system Designer found that the real culprit was the mold that was growing on much of the wood surfaces. She was unpleasantly surprised when she saw the photos and wanted it fixed ASAP. The System Designer built a proposal for her on his computer, she electronically signed, the office was called and she was scheduled.

Our crew showed up and the first order of business was removing all of the old insulation. Once completed they air-sealed all the wire and pipe penetrations, sealed all chases (chimney, soffits and multilevel walls), and installed can light covers. MoldX2 was applied to the wood to kill the mold and the botanicals would prevent regrowth and help make it smell good. Finally, they blew in 17" of cellulose insulation. Now this attic is sealed and insulated, helping the homeowner stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer and she could look forward to lower utility bills. Oh, and no more bad smells!

This homeowner had recently closed on this home and the seller had the minimum work necessary to take care of the crawlspace installed. The new homeowners were interested in a more thorough waterproofing system though, so they called us up. We already had all the photos and measurements so it was simple to create a new proposal for encapsulation however, feeling it was important to go over everything with the client in person, we sent our a design specialist. After the appointment, the new homeowner was even more excited to move forward with the encapsulation.

Our installation crew arrived and began by removing all of the old fiberglass insulation, vapor barrier and miscellaneous debris. They laid down TerraBlock, a dense, flexible foam barrier over the dirt floor to aid in insulation. CleanSpace was laid over the top of this, the seams were sealed and it was secured to the foundation walls. This is a 20 Mil polyester-reinforced barrier that comes with a twenty-five-year warranty against rips and tears, making it a great solution. The vents were sealed and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to continuously filter the air and reduce moisture, preventing the mold from returning and help the owner's health. A 3" layer of closed-cell foam was applied to the foundation walls bringing the insulation factor to industry standards.

This homeowner had high energy bills and cold floors. After searching online for ways to help these issues, they stubbled upon our website. Here they learned that over fifty percent of the air inside a home comes from the crawlspace. So if the crawlspace is left open to the cold, it brings a lot of cool air with it, making HVAC systems work even harder to keep a home comfortable. They called us up, eager for their inspection and estimate. While under their home our system designer was able to find the water issues and craft a solution to keep this home dry and healthy. 

To begin our crew removed the old debris from under the home. Once the space was cleaned up, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. This will collect the groundwater and send it safely to a LawnScape outlet, well away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock over the floor to insulate the space. Next we used CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier. This is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed into place with four inch wide waterproof tape. The walls were then insulated with spray foam and the vents were sealed up. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space healthy!

This homeowner noticed that the water pooling near their downspouts during the heavy rain was pushing up against their home. While, they had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier in the crawlspace, this made them wonder how it was holding up. They took their flashlight and glanced, under their home they found a stream of water running which started at the area of the house where the flooding was occurring. This stream had surpassed the vapor barrier and was running over it, pooling in the lowest spot. Knowing that it is important to keep the crawlspace dry and healthy, they looked online for solutions and found John's Waterproofing. 

To address the issue we began by extending the downspouts. These all connect to a drain system which directs all of this water around the home, and safely away. Next our crew went under the home, removing the old vapor barrier and any debris. Then a full perimeter drain system was installed in the crawlspace to collect the groundwater. This naturally grades to the lowest point where a SuperSump pump is installed. From here the water is sent out and away from the home. We then laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier. This is well overlapped and run up the walls to help keep the space healthy. 

Ice and snow melt becomes a real issues for homes, and this home was no different. When the world begins to thaw after Winter, this homes basement would end up with wet spots and homeowners wanted a solution to keep their home safe year round from water damage. They heard about John's Waterproofing and called us up. After an inspection on the outside of the home as well as throughout the basement, a solution was crafted to fix this home up. 

Our installation crew arrived and began their work by digging a trench along the interior perimeter. In this we installed our WaterGuard drainage system. This is laid in a bed of gravel and is encased in concrete to give the space a smooth floor. The walls were covered in BrightWall panels, these will direct any moisture from the wall down into the drain system. The water is then naturally graded to the lowest spot in the basement where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. Water is then pumped out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. The homeowners are thrilled with the systems performance and how it has kept their home dry and healthy. 

Homeowners looked under their home and found that their old vapor barrier needed to be replaced. Since it needed to be replaced every few years they decided to search for a long term solution. They ended up finding John's Waterproofing online and were ready to hear how our Cleanspace vapor barrier could help. When our design specialist arrived, they were able to determine that this homes biggest issue was with high humidity levels in the crawlspace. This was bring condensation over the vapor barrier and causing water damage. 

To begin, we removed the old vapor barrier and applied Mold X2 as needed. We then installed a SmartSump in the lowest spot to send groundwater safely out and away from the home. We then brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven material is protected with a twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears. This is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the rim joists, and sealed into place with our special waterproof tape. We then covered the vents and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space dry and healthy. 

After living with cold floors and high energy bills,  this homeowner was ready for a change.  They called up John's Waterproofing to learn about our Crawlspace specific insulation. After an inspection and discussion with a system designer, the homeowner was ready to move forward with a solution made to last!

To begin our crew removed the falling old fiberglass insulation and general debris from under the home.  We installed a SmartSump in the low spot to ensure any water is safely sent away from the home.  Then we insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock. Next we brought in CleanSpace. This 20 mil vapor barrier is inserted under each wooden post,  attached along the walls,  and sealed into place.  The vents were all converted and Spray Foam insulation was applied to the foundation walls.  The homeowners called us a few months later to boast about how their energy bills had gone down and how thankful they were for our services. 

This homeowner had glanced under their home. While not totally sure what a crawlspace should look like, they knew that the standing water was an issue. They called up John's Waterproofing to hear about their options. After a full inspection, our design specialist talked through waterproofing options and they crafted a solution for the home. 

Our crew started by removing the debris from under the home. Once it was cleaned out we installed a drainage system. This consists of a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock that wraps around the spaces interior perimeter. This all naturally grades the collected water to a SuperSump Plus and pushes the water safely out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the wall to help this space be dry and healthy. 

This homeowner had seen some before and after images for crawlspaces on the side of one of our installation vehicles. They were curious about how their crawlspace looked and discovered their crawlspace looked very similar to the nasty before image. There was falling fiberglass insulation, ripped and damaged vapor barrier, and debris scattered throughout with mud settled in the lower spaces. They were amazed to see that was the state of the crawlspace and the air from here was drafting up and into their living space. They wanted a healthy home, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing so they could get the clean after crawlspace for their home. 

To begin, our installation crew took out all of the old insulation, vapor barrier, and general debris. With the space prepped we installed a full perimeter drain system. This collects the groundwater and grades it along to a TripleSafe sump pump. The water then sends out and away from the foundation. The foundation walls were insulated with SilverGlo panels, and TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. Next we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is a 20 mil woven barrier which goes under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed fully into place. The vents were then sealed up, and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the space dry and healthy. The homeowners are thrilled that their crawlspace is clean and healthy, and say the air in their home is fresher then it has ever been. 

This home was ready to sell, and a promising buyer was found. However upon inspection, the inspector found moisture in the semi-finished basement. With the threat of water issues at hand, the seller needed to solve the issue to ensure the sale would be able to proceed. They knew about John's Waterproofing Fix it to List it program, gave us a call and worked towards the solution as a team. 

To begin our installation crew removed the semi-finished drywall that was damaged from excessive moisture exposure. We then dug a trench around the homes interior perimeter. Here we installed our WaterGuard drainage system in a bed of gravel. This will collect water to grade along to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. The walls were then restored with EverLast Wall restoration paneling. This is waterproof and safely directs water to the below drain system. The sump pump then sends water safely away from the homes foundation. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to protect this space for the prospective homeowners. 

Water was coming into the basement. When heavy rains came along, run off from the downspouts would pool and overflow, running down the exterior stairwell into the basement. The homeowners would often stuff a towel by this doorway, but the moisture still creeped in along the wall near the stairwell. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing for some help. 

To begin helping, we started on the exterior of the home. Each downspout was extended down into the ground and a pipe was installed underground to send the water out and away from the homes foundation. This will help alleviate the excessive water found running down the stairs. We then went into the basement. We dug a trench along the interior perimeter. By the doorway we installed TrenchDrain to collect water from this point, the rest of the perimeter had WaterGuard installed in a bed of gravel to send water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump.  The walls were then covered with ThermalDry wall to ensure water would safely run down to the drainage system. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. This space will now stay dry and healthy! 

Water was found in this basement, the concrete was saturated in a few places and the homeowners were concerned. They had looked up solutions online and was specifically interested in WaterGuard. They knew all research pointed to this being the best solution and wanted to get a quote for their homes needs. After a thorough inspection by one of our design specialists we sat down the customers and discussed their homes needs, their options, as well as costs while answering their questions. 

To begin work on the basement, we dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down the WaterGuard drainage system in a bed of gravel. The homeowner was thrilled that this system then gets concrete applied over the top to give their floor a smooth finish. These will collect all water and send it along the drain system to the lowest point, where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which pushes all water out and away from the home. The basement also got very cold and the homeowners complained about high energy bills. To address this the walls were covered with ThermalDry radiant walls, this will provide a waterproof solution to lower their energy bills. Over this, we then applied our BrightWall paneling to provide an easy to clean, bright, semi-finished look. The homeowners were thrilled with the basements transformation! 

These homeowners had purchased this home about a year before. The previous owners had opted to install a simple PPP or pipe pump and plastic before selling it. Since the system was up for annual maintenance we called them up. During the visit, our service tech asked how their energy bills looked. The owners mentioned how high the bills were and also that the floors were very cold in the winter months. To address this issue, we mentioned our encapsulation system, and the homeowners decided to upgrade!

To begin the home was already set up with our drainage pipes and a top-notch sump pump. So we pulled out the old 6 Mil vapor barrier, and began our work. We started by sealing off each vent, and then we laid down TerraBlock to insulate the dirt floor. Over this we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is a 20 Mil woven barrier that is inserted under each wooden post, attached along the foundation rim joists and taped together using a special four inch wide waterproof tape. We then brought in our spray foam specialist who applied spray foam along the foundation walls to finish insulating the space. The homeowners are very pleased with how bright and clean their crawlspace is, and they are pleased to report that their energy bills have decreased! 

These homeowners called to ask about encapsulation. Their home suffered from cold floors and high energy bills. They had researched their options and knew that fiberglass insulation wouldn't provide a long term solution. We sent out a design specialist and after a thorough inspection and talking through options, they moved ahead with encapsulation. 

To begin working, our crew cleared out the crawlspace. Once it was cleaned up, we installed a SmartSump in the the lowest spot of the crawlspace. The home didn't suffer many water issues, so a drain system was unnecessary. We then brought in insulation, this consisted of TerraBlock along the dirt floor, and SilverGlo along the foundation walls. Each vent was then sealed up, and we brought in CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the rim joists, and sealed into place with a special four inch wide waterproof tape. We then brought in a SaniDry Dehumidifier to finish off this home. 

Homeowners heard a scuttling noise from their crawlspace, they called up an animal control service to search out the issue. There were critters creeping through the crawlspace, and chew marks were prevalent on the old 6 Mil vapor barrier, with fiberglass insulation pulled into bedding places. The animal control company removed the critters they found and recommended John's Waterproofing for an encapsulation, the best way to deter critters. The homeowners wanted their home to be healthy, so they were eager to move ahead and get their home encapsulated. 

To begin working we removed the old and damaged materials from the space. With a clean bass, we installed a SmartSump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace. This will ensure any unwanted water is safely sent out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floors and brought in CleanSpace. This is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. The vents were all sealed up and spray foam insulation was applied to the foundation walls. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this home is taken care of. 

This basement had been purchased with a fully finished basement, which included a bedroom with a large below grade window. After living in the home for a few years, the bedroom window had water coming through, after inspecting the drywall and carpeting around this, there was a lot more water damage occurring. They called up Johns Waterproofing for a full inspection.

To address the homes water problems we removed the damaged drywall and carpeting that was molding and damp. We then installed a new WellDuct for the large window to ensure the home was better protected. We then went inside the home and dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel and WaterGuard drainage system. These grade along to an UltraSump pump to divert water away from the home. The walls were then properly insulated with ThermalDry radiant barrier which won't mold or rot. Our finishing crew then came out to refinish the space again, but now with waterproofing to protect this home. 

When a floor has a bounce to it, this often isnt a positive sign, the homeowner went under the home to check for any reasons. When under the home, they found three of their wooden posts rotting, and no longer sitting on their footings. They knew if they wanted to protect their home, they would need some serious assistance from a professional. They called up John's Waterproofing and got a full inspection. 

To keep this home healthy, we began by pulling out the debris and doing a full dry-out. Once ready for our work, we then replaced the three rotting wooden posts with SmartJacks. These will not rot and can be adjusted to fit the home and restore structural integrity. Next, we installed a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock around the homes interior perimeter. This will collect groundwater and send it along to a TripleSafe sump pump to push water out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. A 6 Mil vapor barrier was than brought in, we overlapped the edges and ran it up the walls to keep moisture away from the home. 

This homeowner had a critter problem in their crawlspace. After getting the space cleared out they wanted a long term solution to keep animals from coming back. They went to the internet and learned about encapsulation. They called us up to get scheduled for a full inspection. After a thorough inspection, they spoke with the homeowners about their solutions and how we could deter critters from coming back. 

To begin our work we pulled out the old and damaged fiberglass and 6 Mil vapor barrier. Once the space was cleared we installed an UltraSump Plus in the lowest spot to collect any groundwater is dispel it away from the homes foundation. We then installed TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor and wrapped the space in CleanSpace. This is inserted under each wooden post and anchored along the walls. The walls were then insulated with Spray Foam and a SaniDry dehumidifier was added. This space will now deter critters, protecting this home! 

This daylight basement was unfinished, and was used by the homeowners as a wood shop. After living in the home for a few years, they could see mold spores on some of the wood that they had stored in this space. Knowing that they wanted to wood to be protected, they reached out to John's Waterproofing for a solution. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection inside and out, and crafted a solution to suit the home. 

To begin our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we installed a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drainage system. This was graded along to a low spot in the basement where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which would collect and dispel the water well away from the homes foundation. The walls were then covered with BrightWall paneling, which are easy to clean, act as a vapor barrier, and brighten the space. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space remains dry and healthy. The homeowners were thrilled with the outcome and happy to know that their wood shop was able to stay where it was! 

Moisture was found in the basement where the poured floor met the walls. When needed the homeowners would have to pull the stored items away from the walls to ensure water wouldn't seep into boxes. They figured this was normal, but eventually heard about John's Waterproofing. Eager to solve this issue and see if a solution truly did exist, they called us up and scheduled their inspection. 

The solution was a full basement waterproofing. A crew began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter, here we laid down a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drainage system. This is graded to drain all of the collected water along to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. From here the water was sent away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed BrightWall paneling along the walls to guide any wall moisture downwards into the drain system. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to assist in making this space dry and healthy! The homeowners were cautious to begin and kept all items away from the wall to monitor if the system worked. After a full year with no moisture coming through, they were thrilled to move items against the walls and fully utilize the basement space. 

After living in their home for a few years,  these homeowners noticed that a few of the doors on the front side of their home were sticking in the door frames,  making them hard to open and close fully. They could see that the tops of the doors were still square in their frames, and discovered that under there home the problem was brewing.  Water was pooling in the front portion of their crawlspace around the two beams. The wood in these spots were rotting.  

To help, they called up John's Waterproofing. After a full inspection we helped them find a solution to address their needs.  We first pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then replaced the two rotten wood beans with SmartJacks, adding in two other SmartJacks to add stability as needed.  We then installed a drain system to collect the ground water and divert it to the low spot on the front of the Catoosa where we installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump.  From here water is safely sent out and away from the homes foundation. Next we laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier,  which will need to be changed our every few years. 

This homes crawlspace had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier that had been installed years prior. The homeowners hadn't thought much about this space since, until seeing John's at a home show in Portland. They decided to sign up for a full inspection to see what was happening under their home. A design specialist arrived and found the old 6 Mil vapor barrier was chewed to pieces and caked in old mud, with mold spores growing. After talking it through, the homeowners were ready to move forward to clean up the crawlspace. 

To begin, our installation crew pulled out all of the damaged vapor barrier and cleared out the general debris that was present. We then installed a SmartSump in the lowest spot to collect ground water and send it out and away from the homes foundation. Next we laid down TerraBlock along the dirt floor and SilverGlo insulation over the foundation walls. This was all then encased in CleanSpace. This is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier, which includes a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space remains dry and healthy. 

This homeowner had a duplex that needed crawlspace repair. They usually just replaced the simple 6 Mil vapor barrier,  but because of heavy rains this needed to be done almost every year.  While they didn't want to upgrade the space to a full encapsulation, they knew spring more had to be done to keep this house dry and healthy.  After taking to a design specialist they landed on a solution that could extend the simple vapor barriers life by installing a full drainage system and pump first.  

To begin the installation crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home.  A trench was then dug around the interior perimeter of the space,  here we installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock.  This will collect the ground water and grade it to the lowest spot in the crawlspace where we installed a SuperSump Plus which sends the water will away from the homes foundation.  A 6 mil vapor barrier was then installed,  with the edges overlapped and run up the wall to help it last a bit longer.  

This home has pools of water at their downspouts and was right next to their home.  They knew that pooling water could add pressure onto their foundation which can cause issues over the long run.  To protect their home from long term water damage they wanted to repair the downspouts proactively. To do so,  they called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled a free inspection. 

To address this homes water issues our installation crew began by digging a trench from the downspouts out and away from the homes foundation.  The spouts were then extended down into the ground to connect to a drainage system to guide the roof water to a LawnScape outlet. We then went under the home and cleared out the debris and laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier as the old one was coated with mud. The homeowners are proud to know they addressed the downspouts early and plan to encapsulate down the road. 

When finishing a basement it can be easy to say water isnt an issue, but the issue is water problems get worse over the years. While this space had been finished a few years back, moisture became a problem. The wooden floor that had been installed was warping in a few spots near the walls, and the drywall was squishy and bulging against the wooden trim. They contacted a contractor who would help them fix this issues. The contractor let them know they could fix it, but without a waterproofing system in place, these issues would come back, he referred John's Waterproofing to set the space up for success. The homeowners knew they needed to protect their investment and scheduled their free inspection.  

To begin our work, the damaged drywall and flooring was removed. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel and WaterGuard drainage system. The walls were then covered with ThermalDry Wall Insulation. This will insulate the space as well as guide any wall moisture into the drain system to be guided to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump. From here all water is sent out and away from the homes foundation. Now the contractor can come in to refinish the space and it will be kept dry and healthy with our system. 

This company had a plumbing leak occur in the crawlspace. The space was tight and the owners of the company called up John's Waterproofing. We sent out plumbers out who found the leak, replaced the broken pipe and tested the system. After doing their work, they showed the owners some pictures of the crawlspace, going over the work they did as well as pointing out that some mold was present in the crawlspace, and it was a bit to tight to be up to code. They recommended the owners meet with a design specialist so their crawlspace would pass inspection. The owners agreed, and ended up moving forward on a crawlspace job with us as well. 

To begin, our crew removed the old damaged vapor barrier and debris from under the building. We then dug the space out an average of four inches to meet local code. Our crew installed a full drainage system with an UltraSump Plus that will collect the groundwater from the drain system and send it safely out and away from the building to a LawnScape outlet. We then brought in a new 6 mil vapor barrier, overlaying the edges and running it up the walls. We treated the space with MoldX and told the owners that the vapor barrier will need to be changed out every few years, and that with the space still open to the elements the mold will come back. If they choose to upgrade to a full encapsulation, then the space will have a long term waterproofing solution. 

This basement had a daylight basement that had been finished. Over the years, the exterior water pressure had built up, and the drywall was now damp and mushy in places. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection. After discussing their options, the homeowners knew a proper waterproofing system was necessary and they liked the waterproofing finished products we could offer for their walls. 

To begin out crew removed the damaged portions of this basement. Once cleared out, a trench was dug around the basements interior perimeter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel with WaterGuard. This drainage system will collect groundwater as well as moisture from the walls to grade along to a new TripleSafe sump pump to send the water away from the home. The walls were covered and insulated with ThermalDry Radiant vapor barrier and EverLast wall panels were installed over, giving the walls a completely finished look. We installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and the job was completed. 

This homes basement was also the garage, and was used for the homeowners' general Winter gear storage. When getting ready for this years snow season, the homeowners were pulling out gear to check sizing, and found mold spores on some of the clothing. If mold spores were showing up here, it meant moisture was becoming an issue. Knowing how important it is to have your home protected against water damage, they called up John's Waterproofing so they could be proactive against water problems. 

To begin our work the crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter of space. Along the walls we installed a WaterGuard drainage system, with our TrenchGuard along to garage door as an added protection. This system all connects and grades the water along to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump that will then pump the water safely away from the homes foundation. To protect the walls, we installed BrightWall paneling, which guides moisture from the walls into the drain system below. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to make this spaces environment healthy. 

High Water in Crawlspace was seen under this home. Knowing that water and wood doesn't mix, this homeowner knew they needed to do something before a costly issue arose. During the free inspection we offer, we found that the local high water table was an issue, and to combat this a drain system would be needed. While the homeowner wasn't interested in a full encapsulation, they decided to move forward with our pipe, pump, and plastic system. 

To begin our crew pulled out the tattered old vapor barrier, debris, and the fiberglass insulation that was hanging throughout the crawlspace. We then dug a trench through the space, laying in a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This collects groundwater and guides it to the lowest spot of the crawlspace where we installed an TripleSafe sump pump with an UltraSump battery back-up. This will ensure the pump keeps working even if a power outage occurs. We then laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, over lapping the edges. This will need to be changed out away few years, since 6 mil barriers only provide temporary protection. 

This home was listed and a buyer was interested. However, during the inspection the crawlspace was discovered with moisture. Before the sale could go through they would need a timely crawlspace repair. The sellers agent suggested John's Waterproofing due to the efficiency and high quality work they had seen in the past. We sent out our real estate specialist who did a full inspection and crafted a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic that would fit the homes needs. 

Our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then dug a trench around the interior of the crawlspace, and laid in a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and send it along to a newly installed SuperSump Plus to be dispelled away from the homes foundation. We then brought in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the walls. We explained that this style of vapor barrier will need to be replaced every few years and the job was completed! 

This home had a crawlspace that was an average of four feet tall. The dirt floor stayed dry, so the homeowners had been using the space for their storage, keeping holiday boxes and general keepsakes in this space. However, they noticed that some mold spores were growing on their homes wooden beams. They looked online and knew that they could treat the mold so it would go away, but if mold was growing on the wood, it could start affecting the storage items as well, and mold spores would just come back if the environment didn't change. They decided to look into encapsulation, and gave John's Waterproofing a call. 

To begin our work we cleared the space out, and treated the mold so it would go away. We then installed a SuperSump Plus as a backup should any groundwater arise. Next we laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floors and sealed the vents shut. We then brought in CleanSpace, this goes under each wooden post, anchors along the rim joists and seals the space up. We installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry and healthy, and insulated the foundation walls with Spray Foam. The space is now protected and safe for the homeowners. Mold spores will no longer threaten this space. 

This homeowner had called us up about their crawlspaces insulation. They had been using rolls of fiberglass in their crawlspace for years and years. They mentioned that every year or so, they would have to have the insulation re-attached to the home since it would fall down. We explained that we won't install fiberglass, but we do have an encapsulation that provides a long-term solution to crawlspace insulation that wouldn't need to be re-attached. The homeowner was interested in this, and scheduled their free inspection so they could learn more about a long-term solution and how it would help their home. 

To begin our work, the installation crew pulled out all of the old fiberglass, the old vapor barrier, and debris. Once the space was cleared out, we dug a full trench around the interior of the crawlspace. Here we installed a drainage system in a silt sock to guide any groundwater to the lowest spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which dispels the water out and away from the homes foundation. Next the vents were sealed shut and TerraBlock was installed over the dirt floor. CleanSpace was then installed, this is a 20 Mil thick woven vapor barrier that seals up the crawlspace. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and Spray Foam was applied to the foundation walls. The space is now fully insulated and will stay dry and healthy! 

When a pipe bursts, water becomes an issue. This home had a pipe burst and started to gush water into their basement. The pipe was easy to see as the basements ceiling was all open. They called the city to have the water turned off and they began moving items out of the way and cleaning up the water mess. They called up John's Waterproofing as we had waterproofed their basement, and they wanted to check things would be okay. Over the phone we let them know we have our own plumbing division and we scheduled them to have the pipe fixed up. Our plumber quickly replaced the broken pipe and checked over the other pipes, letting them know a few other spots that would need to be upgraded in the next few years or else another pipe could burst. Older homes need the pipes upgraded, as older pipes rust and deteriorate over the years. The homeowners were pleased to get the heads up and plan to address the homes pipes over the summer so they don't have a water issue like this again. 

This homeowner had dealt with the long power outage that affected the PNW when the ice storms occurred in 2021. They had kept things going as best they could with a small generator that would run their fridge and some heat. But after this experience, they didn't want to have to worry about power should an outage like that happen again. So they began saving and doing their research. In the end they chose to go with a Cummins whole home generator through John's Waterproofing. Our crew is able to be the one stop generator solution with our installers providing the level space, and being able to connect the electrical and plumbing needs for the home. We hooked the new generator up, checked all aspects were working properly and they were good to go. Now once a power interruption occurs, this homes generator will pop on and their home will still be all set. 

The basement floor isn't supposed to be wet. This is a sign of a water issue, that is causing issues. This homeowner hadn't thought that anything could be done about water coming up through the floor, until they spoke to a specialist over at John's Waterproofing. With a system that could keep their basement dry and healthy, they scheduled their free inspection to hear how they could solve this issue. 
To begin our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter, to ensure we collected all of the groundwater that was coming up we also dug lines for our leech lines. Those had a perforated drainage system installed to collect groundwater throughout the room, guided to the perimeter where we installed our WaterGuard Drainage system.  The WaterGuard will also collect water from the foundation walls, where BrightWall paneling was installed to guide moisture down to the drain system. All of this water is graded to a low spot where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed which then sends the water well away from the home. To keep the air dry and healthy, we also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier.  The homeowner is very pleased that their basement floor is no longer damp, and the musty smell it had, is now gone! 

This home had an old sump pump in the crawlspace. It had a full drainage system connected to it and a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier. This had proven enough for this home, until the old pump stopped working. The pump was now outdated and the parts were no longer being manufactured. They knew their home needed a pump to keep the space dry, so decided to call in the local experts to hear about recommendations. During our visit we learned that the old drain system was still in working order, and the home was due for a vapor barrier replacement. To keep their home dry, we replaced the old sump system with a TripleSafe sump pump. We connected this to the present drain system and replaced the old vapor barrier with a new 6 Mil. The homeowners were happy that it worked out and they didn't need to replace everything. 

With water in the crawlspace, this homeowner couldn't ignore it any longer. They knew water could lead to mold, mildew, rot, and structural issues. They knew they would need to address this before larger issues arose. The called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection and hear about options. In the end they settled on a pipe, pump, and plastic option that would fit their budget. The system can also be added onto later should they want to upgrade to a full encapsulation. 

To begin, our crew cleared out the old vapor barrier, water heavy fiberglass, and debris. Once the space was cleaned out we dug a trench through the crawlspace. Here we installed a perforated pipe system within a silt sock. This will collect the groundwater and grade it to the lowest spot of the crawlspace where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which will send the collected water out and away from the homes foundation. We then brought in a 6 Mil vapor barrier, we overlapped the edges and ran it up the walls. The 6 mil will need to be replaced every few years, as a 6 Mil is a temporary fix for water issues. 

This crawlspace had some minor water issues over the years. The homeowners were aware of it, and kept their simple 6 mil vapor barrier replaced every few years. However, after some landscaping and new construction was getting done around their home, they noticed the crawlspace water issues were becoming more frequent and worsening. They noted pools of water, mud caked on the barrier, and the wooden posts were damp near the footings. The homeowners didn't want water issues to take over, so they called upon John's Waterproofing for their inspection. 

The homeowner was proud of how healthy their home was and decided to get a full encapsulation. Our crew cleaned out the crawlspace of the debris, vapor barrier, and the pinned up fiberglass. We then installed a full interior drainage system with a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure groundwater is moved safely away from the home. The vents were sealed shut and we then insulated with TerraBlock and SilverGlo. CleanSpace was then installed, going under the wooden posts, attached to the rim joist and sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and we air sealed the crawlspace. Once again the home has healthy air and doesn't have to worry about the crawlspace. 

This homeowner knew they had pooling water in their crawlspace. They had been trying some DIY projects to try to help with it, but after so much work, and still seeing water, they were ready to call upon the professionals. The called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection. We then went over options for the crawlspace, and landed on a system that fit the homeowners budget and would keep water from pooling under the home. 

To begin our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed drainage system that consisted of a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and grade it along to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. All water is then pumped safely out and away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was then laid throughout the space, overlapping the edges and run up the walls. This vapor barrier will need to be changed out every few years, but the home hasn't had pooling water in the four years since we installed it. 

When heavy water is frequenting under the home, water issues start to happen. This homes crawlspace had frequent water exposure, and the homeowners noted that part of the home had a bouncy floor. They wanted to protect their home, so they called upon John's Waterproofing to get a full inspection and get a solution for their homes problems. 

To begin helping, we had to perform a dry-out. Once the space was dry we cleaned out the old vapor barrier, falling fiberglass, and debris that was present. We then replaced three wooden posts that were rotting beyond repair, with SmartJacks. This stabilizes the home, and will protect the home from the rot spreading. A full interior perimeter drain system was then installed. This will collect groundwater and grade it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. All collected water is then sent safely away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. The vents were sealed shut, and we insulated the floor with TerraBlock. CleanSpace was then installed, going under each post, anchoring along the walls, and sealed into place with a special four inch wide waterproof tape. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed an Spray Foam applied to the foundation walls. This would finish insulating the space, and air seal the crawlspace. This crawlspace is now bright, easy to clean, as well as dry and healthy. 

This basement had been finished many years back, but the homeowner now had the lower portions of their finished walls, damp and getting mushy in places. The homeowner know action would need to be taken to protect the home. They called upon John's Waterproofing for a full inspection and go over a solution for their home. 

To begin, our crew had to remove the damaged portions of the walls. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the entire basement. Here we laid in a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect groundwater and water from the walls, and grade it to a TripleSafe sump pump. From there all water is pumped out and away from the homes foundation. To ensure water moves safely down the foundation walls, we installed our ThermalDry wall restoration systems. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air healthy, and the space was refinished by our finishing crew. 

This homeowner called us up reporting that they had water in their crawlspace. The vapor barrier was in disarray, and they would need remediation of the water and new vapor barrier. We scheduled their free inspection. During inspection the crawlspace had a solid two inches of water throughout the space. The foundation walls had a clear line of water stains, showing that the water was frequently this high. To protect their home against water damage, they would need to have a drainage system and sump pump. When discussing this with the homeowners, we ended up settling on a solution that they can add onto in the future should they want to. 

To begin we did a full dry-out. We used temporary pumps and fans to remove the excess water so we could get under the home and work. Once the space was dry enough, the old vapor barrier and debris was removed. We then dug a full interior trench around the perimeter. Here we installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This collects groundwater and grades to a low spot where we installed a SuperSump Plus. From here, all water is pumped safely out and away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was then laid throughout, overlapping the edges and running it up the walls. This simple vapor barrier will need to be replaced every few years, or upgraded to an encapsulation, whichever the homeowner wants. 

The homeowner found their crawlspace had flooded after some heavy rains. They knew standing water against the wooden aspects of their foundation could lead to a plethora of water issues for their home. To ensure the space was staying dry, they called up John's Waterproofing to get their free inspection scheduled. In the end they opted to have a full encapsulation installed to protect their home from water damage. 

To begin our work, the crew removed the old vapor barrier, debris, and old fiberglass insulation from the crawlspace. We then dug a trench around the interior perimeter and installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This collects water and guides it to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed to pump the water away from the home. We then sealed the vents shut and installed TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. CleanSpace is then installed, going under each wooden post, anchoring to the rim joist, and fully sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. The space is now dry and healthy! 

This homes basement had condensation along the foundation walls and the homeowners were concerned. The space was used for storage and a play space for the family's kids, so keeping it a healthy space was a high priority. They called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection and go over their waterproofing options. 

To begin our work we began with a drainage system. We used a jackhammer to dig a trench along the interior perimeter of the space. Here we laid down a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drainage system. This will connect water and grade it to a lowest point of the basement. In this spot we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to send the water out and away from the home. To ensure the water from the walls was addressed we installed our BrightWall panel system along the walls. This is waterproof, will not mold or rot, and safely allows water to be guided to the drainage system below. As a final step a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air dry and healthy so the family can breathe easy. 

This homeowner wanted to get their crawl space addressed. The cabin was purchased recently, and they knew it would have some things that needed to be fixed up. One of such items was the crawl space. It was an open dirt floor, with large rocks, and the slope, made the hillside of the space to small to move through. The homeowners scheduled a free inspection with John's Waterproofing to see how we could help address these issues before a larger problem occurred. 

To begin our work, we cleared out some debris that was present. We then had to dig out the hillside of the crawl space to local regulation, and we removed some of the larger rocks that blocked sections of the area. We then installed an interior drainage system to ensure any water would be guided to the lowest point of the crawl space where we installed a SuperSump Plus which sends the collected water safely away from the homes foundation. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and then our CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven vapor barrier is installed under each wooden post, attaches along the rim joist, and is sealed fully in place, with the vents all sealed shut. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and had Spray Foam insulation applied to the foundation walls to get this crawl space dry, stable, and healthy!
