This homes crawl space had mold growing in the old fiberglass and along the wooden beams. The homeowners had looked into mold treatment, but knew that even with the mold treated, without addressing the crawl space as a whole, mold was bound to come back. To ensure the space remained healthy, they would need to encapsulate. They called up John's Waterproofing and were ready to go. We switched out the fiberglass for a system using TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floors and Spray foam along the walls. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air at a healthy humidity level where mold and mildew cannot grow.
This home's crawl space had long since been overlooked. The homeowners knew the space couldn't be good for their health or their home, so they wanted a system set in place to fix and prevent issues. For this, they called up John's Waterproofing to learn more about encapsulation.
This homes crawlspace had a lot of water. The homeowner knew they needed to have something done about their crawlspace because the water would cause issues. They had old fiberglass present, a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier, and vapor barriers over the foundation walls. But none of this stopped the water from flooding this area. To address it they had us do a full dry-out and encapsulation. Now the space can be dry and healthy.
This homes crawl space had some musty odors wafting up into the home. Unable to crawl under the home himself, the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. We took photos and showed the homeowner the layer of dust and grime that was under the home, as well as evidence of critter activity. To keep the space healthy we cleared it out, installed a drainage system, TerraBlock, CleanSpace, and air sealed the space. We finished up with a SaniDry dehumidifier and new EverLast exterior doorway.
Most homes have dirt crawl spaces and because they're below grade, most homeowners aren't taught how important it is to keep them dry and healthy, making it one of the most neglected spaces in a home. It is one of the most important areas to keep dry and clean since a lot of the air that you are breathing in the home enters through the crawl space and moves up through the living spaces. This homeowner was looking to upgrade their crawl space to create a healthier environment so they called John's Waterproofing to get the job done. After our system design specialist went out and performed a free inspection he then met with the homeowners and went over the findings and how best to create a healthy and stable home. We begin by removing all of the debris, along with the old vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. Since there was not much water, we install our SmartDrain system that will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm and any water than enters into a drywall underneath the CleanSpace until the problem can be addressed. We then install our TerraBlock system to create an insulated barrier, separating the home from the earth and preventing any moisture from making its way up through the dirt floor. On top of the TerraBlock we install our CleanSpace system. This is anchored along the foundation walls up to the rim joist and sealed at the footing of the wooden post with waterproof tape. To make sure no outside air enters, we cover all of the vents. The homeowner wanted to create access into the crawlspace from the outside so we installed our Everlast door which will last through any weather conditions. To ensure the home stays at a healthy relative humidity, we install our SaniDry Sedona which will eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air, providing much healthier air quality throughout the entire home. To finish, we install our foam insulation. This is sprayed along the foundation walls up to the rim joists, filling every crack and void to ensure a complete airtight seal. With this transformation, the homeowner can rest assured their home is healthy and protected for years to come.
