Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes crawlspace was flooding when rains hit, and the wooden posts were rotting out from the water exposure. The home above had slanted floors from the damage that was occurring. To solve the issue we replaced 27 wooden posts with SmartJacks and added in two more to add in support where needed. We then did a full crawlspace encapsulation to keep this home dry and healthy. 

These homeowners got an inspection done by John's Waterproofing and our Design Specialist broke the news to them about what they found inside their crawl space. The existing vapor barrier was torn, exposing the earth, dirt was everywhere, and letting moisture seep into the crawl space. The owners and the Design Specialist came up with a plan to solve these issues. 

The scheduled day came and so did our crew, ready to make the repairs. First they began with removing all dirt, debris, and the non functional vapor barrier. They proceeded with the pipe, pump, plastic system to restore the state of the crawl space. Starting with the pipe. A perforated pipe was installed around the perimeter of the interior, collecting water that will lead to the lowest point of the crawl space, where the SuperSump Plus is stationed. This is a sump pump that will gather the water into the container and pump it through the attached discharge line to release the water safely away from the home. Lastly, they lay down a new vapor barrier, the 6 Mil black plastic. This clean plastic will keep moisture out of the crawl space and provide a fresh look without dirt and debris. Now that the crawl space is waterproofed and pristine, the owners are happy with their safe, dry, and clean home!

John's Waterproofing came to this home in Fall Creek to make it healthy and energy efficient. Our solution for this crawlspace was our CleanSpace encapsulation system. This 20-mil thick vapor barrier significantly outperforms the easy to tear 6-mil liners that are commonly used as vapor barriers. CleanSpace can slow or block harmful gasses such as radon and protects the home from dust and allergens while also waterproofing the crawlspace. It acts as an insulation barrier as well and makes a difference of 10 degrees compared to common vapor barriers.

This homes crawlspace had a critter issue. The homeowners had to stock and clean out mouse traps. After doing this for a short while, they wanted a long term solution so the critters would be deterred and they wouldn't have to worry about the smell of dead rodents. After some searching online, they opted to look into a crawlspace encapsulation. After a thorough inspection, the homeowners were ready to move forward. This are thrilled with how fresh and clean their crawlspace is, and are excited to no longer have to stress over rodent issues.  

This home had a damp smell, and it was definitely emanating from the crawl space. The homeowners called upon John's Waterproofing to see what their options were. Looking to get the space dry all year round and enjoy health benefits, a full encapsulation ended up the best solution to keep their home dry and healthy.
