Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes crawl space had a muddy mess under the old vapor barrier. When having to go under the house, the vapor barrier squishes down and slips out of place. The homeowner wanted the space cleaned up and made easier travel through. They used the space for a small storage area where the ceiling was higher, and they wanted this to be easier. They called up John's Waterproofing to learn about encapsulation. 

Fiberglass Insulation absorbs moisture from the air and holds onto it, causing it to fall to pieces and curate a good environment for mold spores to grow. To fix this issue, a crawlspace encapsulation is needed. We cleared out this crawlspace, applied Mold X as needed and encapsulated the space with a drainage system, TripleSafe sump pump, TerraBlock insulation, CleanSpace, Spray Foam insulation, and a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

When a home has a hard time regulating temperatures, this becomes a big burden on the heating and cooling bills. This home was getting a revamp on its insulation and windows to make the home more energy efficient. For the crawlspace, this entailed pulling out the old fiberglass that was drooping and insufficient, and doing an encapsulation which includes TerraBlock insulation and spray foam. 

This homeowner had seen our truck in their neighborhood a few times. They decided to call John's Waterproofing to see what we do and why it was important. After hearing about energy savings as well as the expensive repairs that accompany water issues in the crawl space, they decided to get ahead of the problem with an encapsulation system. 

This crawlspace's old vapor barrier was encased in mud and was a very damp feeling. To solve this water issue we did a full crawlspace encapsulation and installed Four SmartJacks to reinforce the structure of the home where wood rot had caused damage.
