Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Dramatic Crawl Space Transformation - Silverton, OR

Here at John's, we understand that families are busy, which can lead to crawl spaces being neglected for many years.  Unfortunately, crawl spaces that are not tended to, can quickly become breeding grounds for mold, bacteria, and rodents - posing enormous, and often unseen health consequences to your loved ones. This is because 40% of the air inside of your home, comes from your crawl space. We understand that this realization can be very unsettling for homeowners, but you're not alone, and our team of crawl space experts are eager to help ensure that your crawl space is dry, stable, and healthy! If you're looking for the best way to waterproof your crawl space, and protect the health of your family, then look no further than the Gold Standard in crawl space transformation - encapsulation. This system will waterproof, seal, and insulate the space entirely, ensuring that no moisture, rodents, or debris can enter, while saving homeowners money on energy costs. Before encapsulation, our crews remove all of the old and nasty debris, leaving a nice clean area to work. Next, 2 layers of ground coverings are installed, beginning with our TerraBlock Insulation Padding. TerraBlock is waterproof, and provides excellent ground insulation, while creating a sturdy, walkable surface. Directly on top of the TerraBlock, as well as up onto the foundation walls, we place our heavy-duty, and waterproof 20 Mil CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. It is bright and white, transforming dirty, neglected crawl spaces, into clean, welcoming areas. Our advanced, dual-layered waterproof ground coverings will ensure that water never enters the space. If, however, there is an unexpected plumbing leak inside of the space, our crew installs a SmartDrain which will immediately sound a very loud alarm if water is detected inside the space. This component gives homeowners peace of mind knowing that they will be alerted right away as a plumbing leak could become disastrous. To maintain a safe air quality at all times, we also install a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This machine will both clean and remove allergens, toxins, and moisture from the air, while preventing mold growth. To ensure 24/7 operation of this professional-grade, energy-efficient machine, our Electrical Division arrives and installs a dedicated circuit to supply the needed electricity for proper functionality of the unit. To insulate the foundation walls, we install SilverGlo Insulation Panels. This advanced insulation is waterproof, and reflects heat back into homes - saving homeowners money on heating and cooling costs. Lastly, each of the original crawl space vents is sealed, and the access door is upgraded with an EverLast doorway to make certain that it shuts tightly enough to prevent rodents from being able to enter. Upon the completion of this project, homeowners can rest assured that each of the components will work together, day and night, to protect the health of their loved ones, and the stability of their home.
