Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes interior doorways were no longer closing smoothly, and the floor had a slight bounce to it. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing to get some help. To solve the issue we replaced the damaged wooden posts with SmartJacks. The home is lifted to the correct height. CleanSpace is installed over the footing, and a SmartJack is inserted, and secured into place. Once the homes weight is on the stable SmartJack the lift is removed. 

Underneath this home the fiber glass in their crawlspace was torn apart and the old vapor barrier had been compromised by water vapor causing piles of dirt and debris to pile right on top of it. This naturally opens up the space for mold and creates unsafe air quality in the home. To help this customer, we installed a full encapsulation system which made the crawlspace much brighter, easier to maintain, and helps the air quality in the home become fresh and healthy.

This customer was referred to us by a local company because when their tech went to make repairs under the home it was so damp and a strong musty smell. Our crews went in and cleaned out the crawlspace and cleaned the mold. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is a 20 mil thick woven fiber plastic. We use this to completely seal the crawlspace to keep unwanted pests, moisture, and other alignments out. The customer was so happy to see how clean it was and that she won’t have to worry about mold in the crawlspace again.

This crawlspace was damp and muddy. The dried mud was caked over the old vapor barrier and water was seeping through the foundation walls. This water content had caused the old fiberglass insulation to droop, leading to mold spores and a reduced insulation value. To address all of the spaces repair needs, we installed a full encapsulation system. 

Water problems in the crawlspace can lead to many issues, including water stains on the old vapor barrier, moldy and drooping fiberglass insulation, and a build up of calcium deposits. To combat these issues, this homeowner decided to have a full encapsulation, turning their crawlspace into a dry and healthy space!
