Home Health Before & After Photos

This homes crawl space had layers of dirt over the old vapor barrier. The homeowner knew they would need to do something about this, as their living spaces were beginning to smell musty, and when it rained the house smelled wet and earthy. They called up John's and after learning about encapsulation, they were on board. They are so glad their crawl space is sealed up properly now. 

When the crawl space is in disrepair, than the air that moves up into the home will carry all that yuck, up into the home. From falling fiberglass and caked on mud, this crawl space was a mess. Since their living spaces smelled damp and musty, they figured they should fix the problem at the source. To ensure their home will be protected, they contacted John's Waterproofing and asked about getting a long-term solution in place. To do this we suggested a full encapsulation. This system includes a full interior drain system and a TripleSafe sump pump. We than insulate the dirt floor with TerraBlock and all vents are sealed shut. CleanSpace is than wrapped throughout, sealing the space off and a SaniDry is installed to maintain a healthy relative humidity. Spray insulation is than applied to the foundation walls to complete the job. Now the space is dry, stable, and healthy and the owners are happy to report their air smells fresher already.
