Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes crawlspace was un utter disrepair. We did a thorough cleanout to prep the home and then installed a crawlspace encapsulation to make this home dry and healthy. 

This homeowner called us up when they found heavy water stains in their crawlspace and the dirt and fiberglass was damp. They had a simple white vapor barrier laid throughout, but the moisture in the area was leaving the space still damp. To address the homes water issues, they would need a full encapsulation. 

This homes crawl space had standing water present. To address this before major water damage occurred, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing to receive their free inspection and discuss options for a solution. In the end they chose to have a full encapsulation to ensure their below-grade space would be dry, stable, and healthy. 

This home had been vacated and was for sale. Than the rains hit and the crawl space flooded. The sellers were worried about how this would affect the sale, so they contacted John's Real Estate Response Team to get a free inspection and see what we could do to help. To get the space up and ready for sale we would install a pipe, pump, and plastic. We began by drying out the space, making it so we could continue our work. A trench was than dug around the interior perimeter, in which we lay a perforated pipe in a silt sock. Water can now collect into the pipe and channel to the lowest point of the crawl space. From there, water enters a TripleSafe sump pump and is directed safely away from the homes foundation. We than complete the project with a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, which we anchor along the foundation walls, and overlap the edges to ensure the space is better protected in the years to come. Now this homes crawl space is ready for sale, and the sellers don't have to stress about a hold up. 

Water absorbs into old fiberglass like a sponge, making it water heavy and grow mold. This homes old insulation was a mess, and the homes heating and cooling costs were high. With a full encapsulation we were able to help them regain control over their HVAC costs and make their home dry and healthy!
