Creating a Healthier Home - Beavercreek, OR

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.
