Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Dual Sump Pump Installation for Ultimate Crawl Space Waterproofing - Turner, OR

Most crawl spaces are adequately protected from water damage with the professional installation of just 1 professional-grade, heavy-duty TripleSafe sump pump installed by John's. However, homes located in high water table areas, may require dual sump pump installation in the crawl space in order to ensure proper protection from water intrusion and damage. This home frequently had large amounts of standing water in the crawl space, and without waterproofing and immediate removal of water from the space, the stability and safety of the home would remain threatened. Standing water inside of crawl spaces causes a plethora of issues, including: rotting of subfloor framing leading to instability throughout the home, shifting and cracking of foundation walls which threatens the safety of the home, and growth of mold and bacteria that harms interior air. In addition to all of these serious issues, water intrusion beneath any home significantly reduces the homes value and longevity. All that being said, the best way to ensure a dry, stable, and healthy home, and to protect your long term financial investment, is to have your crawl space professionally waterproofed by the experts here at John's. One strategy used to waterproof crawl spaces and be budget friendly, is our tried and true Pipe, Pump, and Plastic waterproofing system. Our effective PPP system consists of perforated piping installed along the full interior perimeter of the space, catching all water intrusion, and route it to a professional-grade, heavy-duty sump pump, for rapid expulsion far away from the home via an underground discharge line. This home had excessive water intrusion, to combat the water we installed two TripleSafe sump pumps, providing absolute protection from water damage. After the piping and the pumps are installed, the final step in our PPP System is the placement of a fresh, 6 Mil Vapor Barrier, to cover the entire dirt floor inside of the space, as well as the foundation walls. This component prevents water from seeping in, adding additional waterproofing capabilities to protect the home. Standing water will no longer be an issue for this crawl space, resulting in healthier air, and a more stable home. For over 50 years, John's has been the PNW's leading experts in below-grade waterproofing. Our knowledge and expertise cannot be matched, and we take great pride in doing the job right the first time - saving our customers time, money, and frustration.
