Encapsulation of Very Wet and Dirty Crawl Space - Beaverton, OR

Wet and dirty crawl spaces are very common, especially in the wet climate of the PNW. When crawl spaces are left in disrepair, families can be unknowingly breathing in the toxic air that is drifting up into their home from beneath their feet, as 40% of interior air, comes from the crawl space. When crawl spaces are professionally waterproofed, families can thrive inside of their homes knowing that the air they are breathing everyday is clean, and conducive to their long term health. John's is proud to offer the professional installation of the "Gold Standard" in crawl space waterproofing - Encapsulation. An encapsulated crawl space ensures that the space is sealed entirely, preventing rodents, debris, moisture, and air from entering. This system consists of the combination of several heavy-duty and professional-grade components, that work together 24/7 to protect your home and family from the devastating affects of water damage.

First, our crews remove all of the existing debris inside of the space, leaving a nice clean slate for the installation of the system. We install a perimeter drain system within the crawl space, paired with a TripleSafe sump pump to collect and direct the water away from the homes foundation. Next, 2 layers of waterproof ground coverings are installed to prevent water intrusion while insulating the cold dirt floor. With the base of the Encapsulation system installed, our crew then sets up a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This machine run continuously, to save homeowners time while also offering peace of mind. It keeps the air quality safe, by constantly cleaning and removing allergens, toxins, and moisture from the air, while also preventing mold growth. Each crawl space vent is sealed, and a new EverLast Access Door is installed to prevent rodents and debris from entering the space. To insulate the foundation walls, our dedicated expert in Spray Foam arrives, and sprays this effective insulation directly onto the foundation walls, until every crevice and void is filled, and a 100% air-tight seal is achieved inside of the space. Each of these heavy-duty components is installed with precision. With proper yearly maintenance, our encapsulation has the potential to save homeowners up to 40% per year on energy costs, and have been proven time and time again to create a healthy air environment inside of homes that enables families to thrive.
