Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Constant water exposure to high levels of water in this crawlspace had led to excess dirt and mud, which had covered up multiple foundational post footings. Because of this water was able to sit against the wooden beams, leading to wood rot and mold. For this job we ended up replacing sixteen wooden posts with out SmartJack solution while we also did a crawlspace encapsulation to protect the home from any more water damage. 

This homes crawl space needed some upkeep. It had been sitting unattended to for over five years and the old vapor barrier had a layer of dust. The fiberglass had been sealed up, but it was damp and held an unhealthy level of moisture in it that was growing mold spores. To protect the home from water damage, the homeowners wanted to look into encapsulation. Our design specialist went out and did a full inspection. After going over how an encapsulation could help, they were ready to move forward. 

This Crawlspace Entrance was a muddy mess, that really was difficult to maneuver through. When we did a full Crawlspace Encapsulation we revamped the entrance with a Turtl entryway.  

In an attempt to lower energy costs it can be normal to insulate a ducting system in a Crawlspace. However, fiberglass insulation can hold water, leading to mold, and attracts critters who like to use it for bedding. This ducting's insulation was nasty. To ensure their crawlspace was waterproofed and insulated the proper way we removed the damaged fiberglass, and insulated the space with our crawlspace encapsulation. 

This homes crawl space had falling fiber glass insulation and was an overall difficult space to enter. To make the space easier to crawl through, and healthier overall, the homeowners wanted to encapsulate the area. To learn more about encapsulation, they called up John's Waterproofing to ask questions and ensure it would be the right option for them and their home.
