Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Tried & True Crawl Space Waterproofing - Albany, OR
The crawl space of this home had suffered from water intrusion for many years, which had caused cracks to form in the concrete foundation walls, as well as a musty, "heavy" odor to waft up into the home. This homeowner called on John's for help, after learning that we have been the leading, local experts in crawl space repair and waterproofing for over 50 years. We sent a design specialist out to his home, to perform a thorough, FREE, inspection. During his inspection, the specialist found significant evidence of water intrusion and damage, and recommended the installation of our "tried and true" Pipe, Pump, and Plastic crawl space Waterproofing system, which utilizes underground perforated piping to catch water intrusion - routing it immediately to a heavy-duty sump pump for rapid expulsion far away from the home. To prevent water from seeping up into the space, our 6 Mil Black Plastic Vapor Barrier is laid down - covering the entire dirt floor, as well as the walls. Professional installation of our PPP System will protect the space from future water damage, while helping to preserve the integrity of the foundation walls supporting the home. In addition to installing the PPP System, our crew also repaired the existing cracks in the foundation, by first injecting them with our crack epoxy, and then reinforcing them with Carbon Fiber Stitching, which is 10 times stronger than steel. Repairing the cracks with both of these heavy-duty, professional-grade reinforcements, will ensure that the cracks will not worsen, and will greatly extend the longevity and the stability of the home. With this crawl space now cleaned up, waterproofed, and reinforced, this family can get back to living their lives, thriving everyday in a dry, stable, and healthy home!

Water intrusion into crawl spaces causes erosion of the soil that the foundation walls rely upon for strength. When supportive soil erodes, the foundation walls begin to shift, causing cracks to form, and leaving the home in a critical state of instability.
