Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Standing water in the crawl space is an overt way to identify that a water problem is present in the crawl space. This owner contacted John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection to see what was happening in the crawl space and how they could solve the issues. For full protection we suggested a full encapsulation. This system begins with a full drain system and sump pump. These will work together to ensure groundwater is channeled and pumped safely away from the homes foundation. Next we layer TerraBlock and CleanSpace along the floor. This will insulate and seal the space from exterior elements, each vent in the space sealed as well. A SaniDry dehumidifier addresses the spaces relative humidity and spray foam is applied along the foundation walls to air seal and complete the insulation process. 

This homes crawl space was a bit of a mess. From falling strips of fiberglass, dust layers over the vapor barrier, and dead rodents. To get the space healthier, the owners wanted to call in some professionals. We did a full inspection and than went over options with the owners to find a repair plan that worked to better their home, while also meeting the budget needs. We began by removing the old vapor barrier, debris, and the fiberglass insulation. We than dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the space. In this we installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This system collects water and sends it along to the lowest point of the space, from here water enters a TripleSafe sump pump to be discharged away from the home. We than laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and even running this up the walls to help protect the space from having water rise and get on top of the vapor barrier. The final step for this home was changing out the exterior accessway. It had been a board that was chewed on and rotting, we replaced that with a new Everlast doorway.  

This homeowner was using their wet and musty crawlspace for storage. They called John's Waterproofing for help. We went out and were able to completely transform the space, by installing a CleanSpace encapsulation. Our CleanSpace  is a 20mil plastic vapor barrier. This vapor barrier has a carbon fiber woven throughout. This makes for a sturdy and durable storage spot. Now this homeowner can rest assured that their belongings are safe from water and mold. 

This homeowner contacted us when they noticed that their crawl space had water in it. When heavy rains hit, puddles of water would be found over top of their 6 Mil vapor barrier. The owners of the home were concerned about the negative effects this would have on their home so they contacted John's Waterproofing to discuss options for their home. After a full inspection we sat with the owner and worked on a repair plan, ultimately moving forward with a full encapsulation. This system will seal the crawl space off from the exterior elements, allowing the space to become more energy efficient and remain dry and healthy over the years.  

This cabin was a vacation spot for the owners. And they had noted that over the past few years the living spaces were beginning to smell mustier and damper. The owners opened up the exterior entryway and could see the fiberglass insulation was drooping, and the vapor barrier was riddled with debris and droppings. Since the owners wanted this space to be out of site out of mind, they figured they should upgrade the space so it could remain healthy, even when they weren't around. To provide a solution we did a full encapsulation. This includes installing a drainage system and sump pump to address standing water. We then insulated the floor with TerraBlock. We installed out CleanSpace, and sealed the vents all shut. A SaniDry dehumidifier will keep the relative humidity controlled and we installed spray foam along the foundation walls. Now the owners can enjoy knowing their cabin is dry, stable, and healthy.
