Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes crawl space was tall and the owners liked to use it for long term storage. After using the space for a few years they decided to check how things were holding up, only to discover it was nasty under their home. The vapor barrier was caked in mud and the space smelled foul. They called up John's Waterproofing after reading up about encapsulation, eager to learn how this could benefit their crawl space and make it healthy for them to continue using for a storage space. From our system fully sealing the space against outside elements, the 20 mil thick woven vapor barrier that is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears, to the dehumidifier that will protect the space from excess moisture in the air, the owners were sold! With the work all done, they can now happily enjoy and dry and healthy crawl space, made perfectly to ensure they can use the space for storage, and beneficially their home can be healthier. 

This home's crawlspaces old vapor barrier was not installed properly and the water had been pooling under it, on it, and the moisture was being absorbed by the old fiberglass insulation. This passageway under the home had the old wooden frame rotting under the vapor barrier. To address this waterproofing issue we installed our dimpled drainage matting, insulated it with TerraBlock, and then sealed it all in with Cleanspace. The after photo here is from the work-in-progress stage, showing the layers that go into this encapsulation. 

This homes crawlspace had fallen to disrepair. They had to have pest control out to rid the space of critters and were referred to John's for the best preventative work; encapsulation. We cleaned out the space and brought in the material to have this space dry and healthy. 

This crawlspace had standing water throughout the whole space, making it a muddy mess. We came in and dried it out and installed CleanSpace, a smartsump sump pump, a sanidry dehumidifier and added spray foam insulation for added energy efficiency. This homeowner will now have a dry crawlspace while saving money on energy costs for years to come.
