Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

High waters were found in this crawlspace. The homeowner knew that this was an issue that wouldn't just go away, but could cause a lot of issues. To keep their home stable and healthy they were looking to encapsulate their crawlspace. 

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 homes old insulation was heavy with water and had mold spores. To fix this crawlspace we did a full crawlspace encapsulation to properly insulate this home. 

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. 

When moisture is a constant issue in the crawl space, this can lead to a plethora of issues. For this home it meant that the old fiberglass insulation was water logged and drooping from the HVAC systems. There was also a significant amount of debris that had been caked over the old vapor barrier, and a few wooden posts were damp, but not quite yet irreparable. To get the space healthy we would install a full waterproofing system. We installed a interior perimeter drain system which would collect groundwater and channel it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water is discharged away from the home. TerraBlock insulation was than laid over the dirt floor and CleanSpace wrapped over it. CleanSpace is a 20 Mil vapor barrier with a woven fiber through it which helps to make it more durable and helps it to protect your home.
