Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner knew they needed crawlspace repair. When the noted a damp earthy smell, they opened up the crawlspace entrance in their closet, only to find a muddy flood. They called up John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation. We first performed a full dry-out and then encapsulated the space to make it dry and healthy. 

This home had an old vapor barrier that had gotten pushed around and moved by the water. This caused the old vapor barrier to hold water, allowing mud to be caked on top of it and the old fiberglass insulation above to droop and hold water. To stop the water intrusion we did a full crawlspace encapsulation. 

This before and after shows that process of applying Spray Foam insulation to the walls of the crawlspace after Cleanspace is installed. Insulation is not needed on the sub-floor because the Spray foam on the walls is working with the cleanspace to encapsulate, waterproof, and insulate. They work better together than apart! Spray Foam is closed-celled so it will not allow water to collect or stick to it. 

This homes crawlspace dirt floor was moist to the touch, and mold spores were creeping up some of the wood. To address the issue we installed a full encapsulation system to keep this space dry and healthy. 

This homeowners crawlspace had a humidity issue. Because of this water would be absorbed into the fiberglass insulation and mold spores would grow. The homeowners needed to change out the fiberglass and treat the mold every few years to keep on top of it. The were done with the constant upkeep and after searching online, decided to call up John's Waterproofing for an encapsulation.
