Home Health Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to create extra storage space so they went to their crawl space and when they saw the condition it was in, they called us up to set up their free estimate and inspection. Our system design specialist met with the homeowners to go over the best game plan to achieve a dry, healthy and stable crawl space. They went forward with the estimate and scheduled the project.  We begin by removing all of the debris along with the vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. Next, we install our SmartDrain system since there was not much water in this crawl space. This system will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak and with an audible alarm and will drain it away to a drywell under the CleanSpace until they can address it. We then install our TerraBlock system onto the dirt floor to create an insulated barrier between the home and earth. This will block any moisture that is trying to make its way up through the ground. Afterwards, we install our CleanSpace system on top of the TerraBlock, on the foundation walls up to the rim joists and on the footing of the wooden posts which is then sealed with our waterproof tape. We cover all of the vents to ensure not outside air comes in. To keep this environment controlled, we install our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. This also helps keep the home at a healthy relative humidity. To finish, we install our spray foam insulation onto the foundation walls, making sure to fill every crack and void to guarantee an airtight seal, completely protecting and creating a dry, stable and healthy home.

This crawl space was a mess. From caked on mud to falling fiberglass, it needed repairs. For a long-term solution, this homeowner was ready for a full encapsulation! 

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.
