Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawlspace had old concrete blocks stacked around the doorway from one portion of the crawlspace to the other. We cleaned it out and can show the work in progress look where we have the brown drainage matting connecting two rooms, with the thick TerraBlock insulation getting taped down. This job will still need Cleanspace over the top of it all to fully encapulate the area, but this is a glimpse of what we do to protect your home. 

On this project we were able to lift the building piers so we could slide our CleanSpace 20 Mil Vapor barrier in. 

This homeowner called because anytime we got any amount of rain the crawl space would puddle up with water and between the water and mud the black plastic vapor barrier was crumbling and being of no use. They called to have an inspector come out and do a free inspection. The inspector found water damage, mud, debris, and puddles in the crawlspace. Our crew cleaned out the crawlspace and did a crawl space encapsulation. We used a 20 mils thick woven fiber vapor barrier called CleanSpace along with a smart drain. That next rainy season, they called to thank us since they didn't have any water in the crawlspace, it stayed completely dry. They were so glad to have a healthy crawlspace. 

This customer called because spiders and other insects were getting into his crawlspace. So we sent out our inspector and they recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier will keep his crawlspace dry and humidity down. Now having a CleanSpace encapsulation he will never have to worry about water or insects again. 

This homeowner went to check their crawl space and found puddles of standing water, dead rodents and fallen fiberglass insulation.  They reached out to John's Waterproofing and set up a free estimate and inspection. We sent out one of our system design specialist and after assessing the crawl space they met with the homeowner to discuss the solution. They agreed that an encapsulation would be the way to go for this nasty crawl space. To begin, we dry out the space, then clean out all the debris, including the damaged vapor barrier and fallen fiberglass. Next, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space to lay down a perforated pipe into a silt sock. This helps secure a safe passage for the water to drain to the TripleSafe sump pump at the lowest point. A discharge line is installed outside to drain the water away from the foundation. This line is connected to our LawnScape outlet, which is a grated drain that allows water to pass through and has a removable lid to clean out any debris that may enter. Our TerraBlock system is next, we install this directly on the dirt floor of the crawl space, creating an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. We then install our CleanSpace system on top of the TerraBlock. This goes on along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists, and is sealed with our waterproof tape. We make sure to seal all the vents in this crawl space to prevent outside air from entering and to control the environment, we install our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air, and promotes clean air throughout the entire home. Lastly, to finish this encapsulation, we spray our foam insulation which ensures a complete air tight seal in the crawl space. These homeowners can be sure their home is protected for years to come.
