Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes crawlspace had been suffering from water issues for a while. The standing water had led to mold issues and the homeowners wanted to handle the water before anything got worse. They chose to install a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic in 2017. This includes a simple 6 mil vapor barrier that needs to be changed out every few years. Since the installation, it was replaced in 2019, and is scheduled to be replaced in 2024. This barrier is prone to moving around if stepped on, and critters can chew threw/rip the barrier. Due to this, annual maintenance to check on its integrity is important. 

This crawl space had a lot of standing water and the homeowner grew worried and wanted to find a solution that would help. They called John's and we sent out one of our system design specialists to perform a free inspection and estimate. When he was done, he met with the homeowner and went over a plan that fit their budget and then began the project. We started by removing all of the debris, and the old damaged vapor barrier.  Next, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space and in that trench we lay down a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for water to drain to the lowest point. Then, at this low point we install our SuperSump Plus, which will collect all of the water and pump it outside and away from the homes foundation via discharge line. This discharge line is connected to our LawnScape Outlet, which is a grated drain that will allow water to pass through but will keep debris out of it. Now that the water is controlled, we complete this project by installing our 6 mil black plastic that will keep moisture out. 

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.  

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 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.
