Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners had a basement with an elevated crawl space and were wanting to create some more storage space, as well as make it more appealing since it was debris filled and had fiberglass all over. They reached out to Johns to get a free inspection and find an option that works best for them. Once our system design specialist was through with the inspection, he went over the design plan with the homeowners and they moved forward with the project. We began by removing all of the debris along with the vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. Since this was a smaller crawl space that did not have much water intrusion, we installed our SmartDrain system. This system alerts the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm and will drain the water away into a dry well underneath the CleanSpace until the homeowner can address the problem. We then installed our TerraBlock system on to the dirt floor of the crawl space to create an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. Next the crew installed our CleanSpace system all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and sealed it at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape. Then, to control the environment, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which will effectively eliminate damp, musty odors while drying and filtering the air. This will also keep the home at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly to finish this project, we installed our foam insulation by spraying it along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists, ensuring every crack and void was filled. Spray Foam insulation guarantees an airtight seal, preventing air leaks and moisture from entering. With this finished crawl space, these owners can confidently use this area as extra storage without the worry of it being damaged. 

In this job, our foreman Tim completed a quick replacement of a torn and wet vapor barrier. In addition to the vapor barrier replacement, Tim and his crew also installed an Ultra Sump system in order to handle water in the crawlspace. This helped ensure a dry and healthy space for our homeowner. 

Customer called about standing water in their crawlspace and replacing the vapor barrier. We installed a TripleSafe sump and replaced the vapor barrier. 

Customer called for crawlspace needing a cleanup 

This customer called because he had heard of the benefits of having your crawlspace encapsulated. He wanted warmer floors and better heating in his home. Our crews went in and removed the old vapor barrier and debris, they also replaced some wooden posts due to some damage. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and tear resistant. This customer noticed a difference with how much warmer his floors were. He was also relieved to start seeing a difference in his energy bills due to air not leaking out the crawlspace.
