This homes crawl space had a good slope, and the water would pool in the lower areas, causing damp odors. To address this issue the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing to get a quote to replace the 6 Mil. We ended up installing a pipe system to ensure water was directed to the lowest point where a new TripleSafe sump pump is installed and we installed a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping edges and running it up the walls to help it last a few years until the barrier will need to be replaced or upgraded again.
This customer had water in their crawlspace with no vapor barrier in place. We put a 6 mil black plastic vapor barrier down. Along with a sump pump with new piping so that she wouldn't have to worry about water in the crawlspace.
This homeowner saw us doing work on his neighbors home and knew his crawl space had water also. When our design specialist inspected his crawl space he found puddles of water in several places. Our crew did a crawl space encapsulation system. We installed drainage and sump pump and with our twenty mils thick vapor barrier. The homeowner was so pleased with how well his crawlspace looked and there was no more water issue. We also took out the old insulation and replaced it with our spray foam insulation. It gives better coverage and will keep his house better insulated that fiberglass insulation.
This homes crawlspace had an old 6 Mil vapor barrier, and after a few years, these need to be changed out. They dont fully seal a space, and can move around over time. This one had been installed a little over six years ago, and some chew marks were present, bringing water over the barrier, and humidity issues were causing the homes insulation to sag and fall in places. To keep the home healthy, the homeowners opted to have a full encapsulation solution installed, providing their home with a long term solution.
When we arrived, this homes crawlspace entrance was clogged with mud and very difficult to enter. To start work on this job, we dug out the entrance, safely cut into the foundation wall and created an entryway that would be user friendly with our Turtl entryway.
