Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space had puddles all over and the insulation was absorbing the moisture. The crawl space was so wet our crew had to do a dry out. After we dried out the crawl space our crew installed an encapsulation system. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier protects against moisture and mold. Along with our Smart Sump that is the perfect size for a crawl space. This homeowner never has to worry about puddles in her crawl space again. 

This homeowner called to inform us that she peeked into her crawlspace access and she saw standing water and there was a "funky" smell. Jacob was quick to come out and provide a free inspection and confirmed for her that there was standing water throughout her crawlspace. He informed her that the smell as caused by bacteria in the standing water and the mold beginning to grow under the home. 

Knowing that she had to get this taken care of quickly before it got worse, Nancy immediately scheduled to have Lupe and his team come out and handle the problem. The team dried out space, removed the mold, and installed a perimeter drain and sump pump to ensure she would not struggle with water issues again. We also placed a dehumidifier after we put up our patented CleanSpace crawlspace liner. We then finished the space with spray foam insulation to provide better heating and cooling year-round. 

This customer had standing water in their crawlspace due to a certain area not draining to the sump pump correctly and causing damage to the vapor barrier. We went in and installed a new pipe to help drain the water to the sump pump. Along with a new vapor barrier for a clean and dry crawlspace. 

This crawl space had issues with water, causing humidity and sagging floors in the home. These homeowners were looking for a solution so they called John's waterproofing to set up their free visit. We went out and thoroughly inspected the crawl space, and found that a lot of the posts were water damaged. After finishing, we then went to meet the homeowner to work with them in creating a game plan that best suits the home. The homeowner was eager to begin so they signed the estimate and we started the project.  We start by removing all of the debris in the crawl space, including old fiberglass insulation and the damaged barrier. Next, we install our SmartJack system. These are our supplemental steel piers used to replace the damaged wooden posts. These will raise the floor back up and offer stable support. We then dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space and in it, we install a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock. This will create a secure passage for water to drain to the lowest point. At this low point we install our SuperSump Plus, which will collect all of the water that enters and pump it outside of the home through a discharge line. We also install a SmartDrain system, which will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak, with an audible alarm and will drain it underneath the CleanSpace until it can be fixed. Our TerraBlock is next. This system is laid over the dirt floor of the crawl space and acts as an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. Over top of the entire TerraBlock system, we install our CleanSpace 20 mil thick vapor barrier. This is also installed between the footing and the posts as well as anchored into the foundation walls. This is all sealed with our heavy duty waterproof tape. Then, to create a weather safe exterior access into the crawl space we install our EverLast door to replace the old plywood cover. To control the environment beneath the home, we install our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This will eliminate damp and musty odors while keeping the home at a healthy relative humidity.  Finally, we install our spray foam insulation directly onto the foundation walls. This will ensure that every crack and void is completely filled, ultimately guaranteeing an airtight seal. Now that this crawl space is finished, these homeowners no longer have to worry about water entering and causing humidity and they can have peace of mind knowing that their floors will no longer sag.
