Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Budget-Friendly Crawl Space Waterproofing - Mount Vernon, WA

Here at John's, we understand that making ends meet is highly important, and sometimes a homeowners budget dictates how much they are able to spend on home maintenance. If you're looking for a budget-friendly way to protect your home from water damage, we've got you covered with our effective Pipe, Pump, and Plastic System! This crawl space waterproofing system protects the structural components of the home against stagnant water. When a crawl space lacks proper waterproofing capabilities, the soil beneath the home inevitably weakens and erodes, which can lead to crumbling foundations, invasive mold, and many other highly expensive and frustrating repairs. Waterproofing your crawl space protects not only the structural components that your home rests on, it also protects the health of your family by minimizing the presence of mold and moisture beneath the home. Crawl Space science proves that Encapsulation is the Gold-Standard in professional waterproofing, however, it can be expensive, and out of reach for some homeowners. This is why John's proudly continues to offer the tried and true; Pipe, Pump, Plastic. When our crew installs this system, they begin by removing all of the old crawl space debris, to leave a nice clean space to work. Next, they dig a shallow trench around the full interior perimeter of the space, to hold our 3" Perforated Piping. The Piping will collect all groundwater and route it to a SuperSump Pump, to expel it far away from the home via an underground discharge line. At the end of the discharge line, our crew attaches a LawnScape Outlet. Lastly, we lay down our 6 Mil Black Plastic Vapor Barrier over the entire dirt floor inside of the crawl space, as well as up onto the concrete foundation walls. This component prevents moisture from entering the space through the ground and walls. If the homeowner wants to upgrade to the crawl space solution, encapsulation, in the future the process to do so is expedited, as the Pipe, Pump, and discharge have already been installed. John's takes great pride in never disrespecting the importance of staying inside of a families budget. We are proud to offer our Pipe, Pump, Plastic System to all customers, and you can rest assured that we devote the same attention to detail to the installation of this budget-friendly system, as we do our full encapsulations. Our goal is to provide WOW service at all times, and we strive to never fall short of that!
