Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes crawl space was dusty and messy, the walls had efflorescence on them. Unable to go under the home on their own, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing to address this space properly. They wanted to ensure it would be protected long term, so they wouldn't need to worry about water issues, so they had a full encapsulation installed. 

Standing water from a small spring that ran thru this crawlspace was causing quite the problem. What vapor barrier that was in place was pushed off to the side and mud was getting everywhere. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation system with a Super Sump pump that will pump water from the spring out to the new piping we laid to a safe spot far from the house. The homeowner now doesn't have to worry about standing water again in his crawlspace. 

One of the many things we do is crawlspace entrances. This entrance before was hard to get into and wasn't sealed properly and allowed for pests and air into the crawlspace. We use an airtight vent cover that stops air flow so the crawlspace can be dry and healthy. It will never rot or rust because it can not be damaged by moisture. The homeowner loved how nice it looked after being done and was glad that it will be a lot easier to get in and out of the crawlspace as needed. 

These homeowners found their crawlspace in poor condition. They knew there should be a better way, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing. After a thorough inspection, they decided to move forward and have a full encapsulation. 

This home had a very dusty and dirty crawl space. In the rainy season it would have puddles of water throughout, and in the warm season, this would dry, leaving behind layers of mud. The overhead insulation was drooping from the sub-floor and overall, the space was a mess. The owners were ready for a solution that would make their crawl space healthy. For this, they turned to John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection. We send out a design specialist who dove under the home, doing a full crawl to map out the repair plan for this home. Ultimately to provide a long-term solution to keep the space dry and healthy year after year, we recommended a full encapsulation. The owners listened to the benefits of the system and scheduled the work. 

To begin we remove the old vapor barrier, debris, and fiberglass. We than install a full drain system with a sump pump. These work together to collect the groundwater and than pump it away from the home through a discharge line. We than sealed the vents shut, in an encapsulation we need to be able to control the environment of the crawl space so we can keep it healthy. We than lay TerraBlock along the dirt floor, this insulates the floor of the space. Over this is CleanSpace, a 20 Mil thick vapor barrier. Along the walls we install SilverGlo insulation and complete the project with a SaniDry dehumidifier. Now this space is set up to remain dry and healthy through all season for tears to come.
