Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner needed crawlspace repairs. They knew the dirt floor was consistently damp, and some green was growing on portions of the foundation walls. They were eager to find a waterproofing solution and called up John's Waterproofing for a full inspection. To keep their home dry and healthy, they moved forward with a full encapsulation. 

This homeowner could hear water in their crawl space, when they looked through the interior entrance, they saw about a foot of water. Worried about this, they called up John's. When we arrived for the inspection, most of the water was gone, but to protect the home from this happening again we suggested a full encapsulation. 

This Crawlspace had no Vapor barrier and water issues. We fixed that by encapsulating it with CleanSpace!

This old home had dry rot, and no longer met local building codes for the crawlspace clearance. To get the home dry and healthy we did a dig-out and full encapsulation, as well as replaced the beams which were water damaged. 

Many years of persistent water intrusion into this crawl space had caused the original wooden posts to rot, shift, and become unstable, leaving the subfloor at terrible risk of structural collapse. The job of the subfloor is to evenly support the weight of the home, to ensure level interior floors, and a safe, stable home. When structural components beneath the home are compromised, the entire structure of the home feels the impact. Over time, effects will only worsen in the form of uneven interior floors, doors that won't shut, cracks in the walls, and in extreme cases, interior flooring collapsing into the crawl space. In order to reinforce damaged subfloors, our crew of structural experts removes the original wooden piers, and replaces them with Steel SmartJack Piers. SmartJacks are adjusted with precision, until the entirety of the subfloor is level, and the weight of the home is evenly distributed. Because they are made of steel, they are resistant to rot, allowing them to remain in place permanently to support the weight of the home, and ensure overall structural stability. When structural damage is present within crawl spaces, it is imperative to not only reinforce the subfloor, but to also professionally encapsulate the space. John's professional crawl space encapsulation seals, waterproofs, and insulates the entire space to protect the home from the devastating effects of water damage. This crawl space has now been professionally reinforced, and encapsulated by the experts here at John's, providing this family with a dry, clean, and stable home for them to grow and thrive in for many years to come!
