This crawlspace had water logged insulation, pooling water, and needed help. To solve this issue we installed a full drainage system to divert water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump and out and away from the foundation. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier.
This homeowner knew that fiberglass absorbed water if left open to the elements. Trying to get around this, they attached a vapor barrier to the underside of their home, encasing the insulation. However water vapors still got in, and caused a mold issue. After having a mold company out, they were pointed to John's Waterproofing to keep the space dry and healthy with an encapsulation.
This home's crawlspaces old vapor barrier was not installed properly and the water had been pooling under it, on it, and the moisture was being absorbed by the old fiberglass insulation. This passageway under the home had the old wooden frame rotting under the vapor barrier. To address this waterproofing issue we installed our dimpled drainage matting, insulated it with TerraBlock, and then sealed it all in with Cleanspace. The after photo here is from the work-in-progress stage, showing the layers that go into this encapsulation.
This homes crawlspace had fallen to disrepair. They had to have pest control out to rid the space of critters and were referred to John's for the best preventative work; encapsulation. We cleaned out the space and brought in the material to have this space dry and healthy.
This homeowner knew they had repeat rodent issues and the smell of mold was in the crawl space. They wanted to issues solved, not just temporarily, but with real solutions. So they called up John's Waterproofing, they had heard good things about encapsulation from a neighbor and were eager to learn more. After a full inspection and having their questions answered, they were ready to move forward!
