Insulation Before & After Photos

This home had old fiberglass insulation in the crawlspace, but high humidity had caused it to sag and hold onto water. As the years passed this became mold spores, and an odd odor emerged in the living spaces above. To clean up their crawlspace, clear out the smell, and make their home dry and healthy they called up John's Waterproofing for a encapsulation. 

This home's old fiberglass insulation was damp and water-logged, with condensation found along the foundation walls. To address these issues the homeowners chose to have a full encapsulation to provide long lasting, crawlspace specific insulation to keep this space dry and healthy! 

This homes insulation was water logged and almost completely falling down. To address this, the homeowners called upon John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation. 

This dust filled and musty crawlspace was causing high energy bills due to the falling insulation as well as musty air to be pulled up into the living space above. To have the home dry and healthy we did a crawlspace encapsulation. 

When encapsulating your crawl space it's important that you're using the best products that will really work to protect your home. The encapsulation process involves many steps like installing a drainage system, applying a vapor barrier, and insulating with Spray Foam. In most homes, the only layer of insulation is through fiberglass insulation. This spongey material has been proven to have harsh toxins that can get into the air you breathe and cause irritation. It is also prone to becoming loose and falling off the subfloor if the humidity becomes too high. When its damp from high humidity and loose from the walls this is a perfect atmosphere for mold and mildew to grow and contaminate the rest of your homes foundation. That's why John's Waterproofing insulates with Spray Foam. Spray Foam is applied to all the foundation walls and works to air seal and insulate the space. It's material is capable of expanding into every crack and crevice to ensure nothing can seep through. Because of how it air seals the space, this also benefits the homeowners with better energy efficiency by preventing any air leaks. With all the benefits that Spray Foam adds to an encapsulation, it makes it the ideal method when insulating your crawl space.
