Lincoln County, OR's Top Home Improvement Contractor

This homeowner called because water was seeping into their basement when it rains steadily. Our inspector Jacob was able to work with the homeowner to create a waterproofing system for their basement that would ensure that any future leaking would not be an issue. 

To start the system our crew installed a WaterGuard system that would collect any coming into the foundation from we walls or the foundation crease. Our patented system collects water as it comes in and takes it to the sump pump. 

Once the WaterGuard is completed and the cement re-poured over the system to conceal it, our team then installed ThermalDry Wall. This wall system is non-permeable and inorganic so you don't have to worry about mold or mildew in the walls from moisture issues. It provides a thermal break between the basement and the cold cement walls and allows for the homeowner to finish the walls without risk of moisture. 

We finished off the system with a sump pump and dehumidifier to keep the basement at a comfortable humidity to inhibit any mold growth in the space and provide clean, healthy air to the homeowners for years to come. 

This crawlspace was a mess when our inspector Dan went down there. The vapor barrier was torn and had a thick layer of water over the top as well as large areas were the vapor barrier was missing altogether. The sagging insulation was completely useless and the high humidity and moisture were breeding mold spores. 

Dan recommended two options to the homeowners to consider. The first was to install a drainage system and sump pump in order to ensure the groundwater problem was handled and to replace the current vapor barrier they already had. 

The second option was for the homeowners invest in a full encapsulation system in order to solve their moisture issues and prevent any further damage to the home. Not only would it solve their issues and protect their space it will provide them with superior air quality and energy efficiency. 

Our homeowners opted, for now, to choose the less expensive vapor barrier to solve the issue and to complete the full encapsulation this following year. 

This homeowner called fearful of water in their crawlspace. Our inspector came out and confirmed they did indeed have water in their crawlspace and it was beginning to make some of their foundation posts damp and soft, which over time will rot the post through and can create an environment where mold can grow. 

The homeowners listened to all of our suggestions and chose to do the full crawlspace encapsulation. This included removing the damp insulation, installing a perimeter drain system and sump pump and then encapsulating the whole space with our patented CleanSpace System and installing the SaniDry Dehumidifier. This allows for the home to be dry and comfortable. 

As a final finish, the homeowner opted to add perimeter spray foam insulation. This will reduce the home's energy use by up to 30% a year! 

A homeowner called with complaints about their wet crawl space. Our crew went out to the home to fix the problem. The cleared out all the debris, including the old, worn out and ripped vapor barrier. They replaced that with a brand new vapor barrier and they installed a SuperSump sump pump. This sump pump has a very powerful pump that can pump 2,650 gallons of water per hour. It also has a heavy-duty smooth wall liner with 96 holes that allow water to flow in directly from below the floor. It also has a built-in WaterWatch alarm system to alert the homeowner in the event of a plumbing leak before any damage has occurred. Now with a new vapor barrier and an incredibly reliable and powerful new SuperSump sump pump, the homeowner no longer has to worry about his wet crawl space. 

A homeowner noticed a few puddles in the corners of her basement. Wanting to make sure her basement didn't completely flood, she called us. Our crews went out to the home to fix the problem. They installed WaterGuard piping system along the perimeter of the basement, where the wall meets the floor. WaterGuard intercepts the water coming down from the walls and from under the floor and drains it safely and unseen away into the sump pump. An UltraSump sump pump was also installed in the basement. The UltraSump has a battery back-up pumping system in case of power outages, primary pump failures, circuit breakers tripping or pump becoming unplugged. It also has built-in WaterWatch alarm system to alert the homeowner in case of a plumbing leak, before any damage has occurred. Now this homeowner no longer has puddles or any other water intrusion in her basement and can rest assured about keeping her basement dry.  

We received a call from a homeowner who had concerns about the air quality in her home. There was a musty and damp odor in throughout the house. Our crews went out to the home to help. The problem was originating from the crawl space. Air travels up so air with mold spores or other allergens from the crawl space will make its way up to the rest of the home. Our crews removed all debris from the crawl space and then installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on the walls and floor of the crawl space to prevent moisture or water vapors from coming in. This means no new mold growth. They also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in the crawl space. The SaniDry Sedona eliminates damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. It's the most efficient dehumidifier in the world and plenty powerful enough to keep the home's humidity levels below 55% so mold and dust mites won't stand a chance. Now this homeowner can breathe easy with cleaner, healthier air in her crawl space and home. 

This homeowner was unsatisfied with how hard it was to access their crawlspace and inquired our help in solving the problem. Our inspector, Jacob suggested installing our Turtl Crawl Dpace Entry System. Ramon and his team quickly installed the Turtl giving the homeowner new benefits such as protection from entryway water intrusion and locking ability in the entryway. The Turtle comes in three different colors and is maintenance free.

The homeowner can now easily access his crawlspace and enjoys the new benefits of the Turtl.

This customer called our office complaining about water leaking into her basement, especially with heavy rains. Our salesman recommended our patented Waterguard system to handle the water leak as well as a Triple safe sump pump and Sanidry Sedona to ensure a dry basement. He also recommended finishing her basement with a set of wall systems designed to prevent water and mold as well as provide a beautiful finished area.  

The homeowner called to discuss the white mineral build up found in their unfinished basement and crawlspace areas. While an old Sump Pump was installed by another company, it was unable to keep standing water from being in some of the elevated spaces, and the basement had an ongoing issue with water seeping through their concrete block walls. This constant issue was leading to a white mineral build up on most of the wall surfaces. And because water could get in, when the weather heated up, all the vapor was starting to cause visible damage to the insulation that was inserted into the ceiling spaces. It was drooping, and falling apart during the humid months. 

To combat this pressing issue, John's installation crew began by removing the debris that was present. Any damaged installation and old un-maintained material was removed. The crew then removed the old sump pump and dug out the space so it would have a floor area that the crew could work in. WaterGaurd piping was laid around the edges of the space and connected to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. With a new system in place to keep standing water at bay, the crew then installed ThermalDry Wall sheets to keep the weeping walls contained.

Once completed this job was able to keep the basement dry and became an easy to access space so the homeowners could monitor their basement and crawlspace and have annual services performed so the water would stay out of their home. 

After the bizarre weather that Oregon has had lately, the homeowner decided to check out the odd mold like smell drafting from the crawlspace. Once in the crawlspace, water was found seeping up through the dirt floor. The plastic tarps that had been down there from another company was not stopping the water buildup. Instead, water was pooling on the tarps and mold was growing on it. 

The homeowner called Johns to come and asses the damage, and luckily it was not to severe, all the insulation in the crawlspace was still dry and the water had remained on the ground level. To make sure that the water didn't turn to vapor and infiltrate the homes foundation, Johns got to work. The installation crew began by taking out all of the damaged and poorly installed tarps. Once the space was cleaned out it was ready to start the real work. Each support beam was isolated and properly sealed to keep any water from reaching the wood, we used TerraBlock and Cleanspace sheets to encapsulate the crawlspace so no water could get in. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to ensure the water under the new Cleanspace would have a way to get out and away from this homes foundation. To cap of the project, the vents in the crawlspace were properly sealed off. 

Luckily the homeowner was on top of this issue before it could get worse. With a proper waterproofing system in place, and annual service to keep the system in tip top order, this home will be ready for whatever Oregon weather comes! 

Customer called when flooding was discovered in their small crawlspace. Most of the insulation had become so saturated with water that it had fallen to the ground floor of the crawlspace and was soaked through. The fact that it had fallen was good for the wood of the house, but, it would need a lot of work to be a safe environment for our installation crews to be able to move through. 

To begin, the space needed to be dried out, with the help of preliminary trenching, some temporary pumps, and a dehumidifier, the crawlspace was able to dry out and we could go in. With the space dry, all of the old insulation and debris was removed and discarded. We added in a three inch pipe around the interior walls of the crawlspace connected to a SuperSump Plus Pump to be able to combat the mass amounts of water the space was experiencing. We added in a 30 ft. discharge pipe that took the water to a safe distance away from the home. To finish the space we then installed Cleanspace to the interior so it could be a dry and clean space from here on out!

The Homeowner had a small section of the basement that was unfinished and they were ready to reclaim the space as their own. Johns came out and while no water damage could be detected we were happy to waterproof the basement. The owner had a personal friend who would be going over our work to complete their basement. We were happy to assist so that should any leaks or issues arise, it wouldn't ruin the work that would be put into the space. 

We started with adding in a SaniDry Pump and a Super Sump Pump to the space. This would allow any water to be pulled away from the home so it couldn't cause any harm. Next we waterproofed the walls with our ThermalDry wall panels and added Watergaurd sheets to the space. With the area all waterproofed our crew cleaned up and left a safe and usable space so that it could be finished to the homeowners desires. 

Here at John's we do offer the Total Basement Finishing option to any who wish to have us waterproof and create a beautiful space out of any basement. But if you should choose to use another contractor for the final work, please give us a call so we can waterproof and protect your investment. 

The homeowner was used to their crawlspace taking on water in the crawlspace, they had just assumed this was normal, until the crawlspace flooded and almost started to enter through the floor boards. When the homeowners saw how high the water levels were, they figured their must be a better way, and John's Waterproofing was happy to come and fix their Crawlspace with a full encapsulation. 

To be able to work, we began by pumping the water out of the crawlspace and drying it out. Once the space was workable, our crew went in and cleaned out all the debris and old insulation. We added in a Smart Drain Sump Pump which is capable of pumping out 2,500 gallons of water per hour. We also added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to the space to make sure all water and water vapor would have a safe way to get out and away from the home. We laid down our Terra Block and CleanSpace barriers so that the crawlspace would be dry and clean and protected from exterior elements. Due to the water damage we also replaced the posts that would rotting and those which were unsteady so their homes foundation would be safe. Our crew then did a spray foam to replace where the insulation had been and sealed it all off with vent covers and a new EverLast Door.

This home will be ready for the crazy water and the homeowner is so please to not have to worry about water damage. 

These homeowners had recently purchased an old home with a lot of fixer-upper protentional. They were excited to start transforming their new home into what they wanted, but needed to get the structure squared away before they could start their portion of the work. The home had a big crawlspace with ample room to move around in. However the crawlspace entrance had no cover, and the vent areas had no cover as well, so the home had some extensive mold issues on the underside of the home. They had another company coming out to replace the flooring that was molded and beyond repair, but they needed waterproofing experts to protect the homes foundation so they wouldn't have to worry about a water problem in the future, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

The homeowners had cleaned out the crawlspace before our crew arrived, so they could get right to work. We laid down a TerraBlock floor insulation, this would help the home keep its relative temperature and help the family save on energy costs. We added in a SuperSump sump pump to take any water out and away from the homes foundation. Our crew then isolated each pier under the home so that they wouldn't be susceptible to water mold. We then wrapped the crawlspace with Cleanspace, which is secured along every wall, around every footing, and taped in place with waterproof tape. Since the home was old, the vents were all unique in shape, so we made custom vent covers and installed an Everlast door for the crawlspace entry point. To complete this job we added spray foam as needed. 

The homeowners were excited to have their foundation waterproofed and ready so they could go to the next step in their home project. 

When the homeowner went under the house they discovered that the wood on the underside of their home was showing signs of mold. They had a vapor barrier already installed which was still in place, but since the mold was evident, water must have been getting in still. To assist, they called John's Waterproofing. 

When we came out to inspect the crawlspace, we found that there was experiencing high levels of humidity under the home. Since the vapor barrier was still doing its job to cover the dirt flooring, our crew found that the vent covers were damp to the touch. The home was experiencing water vapors going through the vents and that condensation was making its way into the wood. We changed out all of the vent covers for new ones and added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This would collect all of that excess moisture and pump it a safe distance away from the home. 

After this installation when we checked back up on it, we found the humidity levels to be where we want them and the mold was properly taken care of. Another home Dry and Healthy!

This home had a leak in their crawlspace. After living with this issue for a few years, the homeowners were ready to tackle the problem. The water damage was starting to smell musty and to ensure their home would be safe from water damage, they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and removed some debris from under the crawlspace, since there was ample room we installed our SuperSump pump to divert all water out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down our dimpled drainage matting with our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation over that and topped off with our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier. These systems all work together to encapsulate the crawlspace. We covered up the crawlspace walls with our SilverGlo insulation which then had the Cleanspace barrier sealed against it. The home will be ready for whatever water comes through! 

During the rainy season, the dirt crawlspace floor had a tendency to get very damp and muddy. because of this, there was mud caked on some of the wooden piers under the home and general debris that kept the crawlspace dirty and difficult for anyone to get into. With the though about foundation damage on their minds, the homeowners reached out to John's Waterproofing for their waterproofing needs. 

To begin, we leveled out the crawlspace since the damp mud had made some spots more difficult to maneuver through. Our install crews then dug a trench along the interior parameter and installed a three inch perforated pipe to direct water to a new SmartSump pump. This would shoot the water out and away from the homes foundation so it wouldn't have water damage. We then isolated each wooden pier and secured Cleanspace throughout the crawlspace. This would keep the water out of the crawlspace as well as create a clean and easy to check system if anyone were to go under the home. The homeowners were very pleased with their fresh crawlspace and were happy to not have to worry when the rains came through again. 

The home had high energy bills, during the colder months, their main floor was cold to walk on. Initially the homeowners didn't think much about it, until they learned their neighbors energy bills were significantly lower. Wanting to control their homes energy, they did some research and learned that a drafty crawlspace was a big issue. They took a look under their home and discovered that most of their old fiberglass insulation had fallen onto the floor and was a soggy and wet mess. To address this problem, they contacted John's Waterproofing. 

To begin our crew removed all of the old insulation. We inserted a TripleSafe Sump pump in the crawlspace with a discharge line leading a safe distance away from the homes foundation. We then installed a layer of Drainage matting, covered with TerraBlock Crawlspace insulation, which was then fully encapsulated with Cleanspace over the top. The walls of the crawlspace were covered with SilverGlo insulation and the Cleanspace was secured to all of the Crawlspace walls, under each foundation post, and secured with a waterproof tape.  Each vent cover was then changed out for a insulated vent cover, and we placed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to help regulate the humidity in the Crawlspace. 

The homeowners were so pleased with the outcome, and called back after the cold hit to let us know their energy bill had reduced drastically and they were pleased with their new system. 

The homeowners were in the habit of checking their crawlspace yearly, and they noticed that each year their fiberglass insulation would fall apart more and more. Eventually they had it drooping down to the floor and when it was wet out, the fiberglass would drip water since it had absorbed so much moisture. They knew this was not a good situation so they called on John's Waterproofing for a solution. 

Our crew came out and began by removing the old fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass insulation is made to be covered on all sides, like it is in a wall, when exposed to the elements, it falls apart and can be a home for mold growth and rot. To keep the water out from the crawlspace we installed a SmartSump pump in the crawlspace. We then laid down our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation on the dirt flooring. All of the walls were then covered in Spray foam to insulate it from the exterior. Each post was then isolated and sealed up with Cleanspace. Cleanspace is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that encapsulated the space and sealed against each wall to create a controlled area. We then replaced each vent cover and put a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to ensure the space would be dry and healthy! 

This homes energy bills had been getting higher year after year. They had thought it was just a price inflation but wanted to check out options to help lower the bills. After seeing one of our ads that discuss how water can damage exposed crawlspace insulation, they looked under their home. The fiberglass insulation was dropping and falling down from water moisture. Their bills were going up because every year the damage was progressing and they had been losing their insulation. They called John's Waterproofing for a solution. 

To begin our crew removed all of the old insulation and cleanout out the space. With a fresh base we installed our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation. This was then encased in our Cleanspace 20 Mil vapor barrier. This is secured under each post and along every wall to ensure the space it waterproofed. Next we added in spray foam to the crawlspace walls so that the space would be insulated on all sides. Finally to maintain a healthy environment we added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

The homeowners were amazed to see how quickly their energy bills went down after we were done!

This basement had some poor planning when it was built, the drain was almost centered, with all of the flooring having a slight decline to this central point. Because of this, any water that made it into the basement would pool from the walls into the room. The basement had an issue with standing water trailing along the floor and because of this, the basement experienced high humidity levels which created a good space for mold spores to grow. To regain control over this space, the homeowners wanted to waterproof their basement. 

Our installation crew came out and began by digging a trench line along the interior perimeters. A WaterGaurd drainage system was then installed to collect the water and divert it all to a new point; a TripleSafe sump pump. This would then push all of the water a safe distance away from the home via a discharge line that ended at a LawnScape outlet. To finish up this job we installed a SaniDry Sedona to keep the humidity levels at a healthy level.  

The basement of This home had been unfinished, it was drafty, damp, and adding to their energy costs since the temperature couldn't be regulated. The homeowners wanted to take back this space and lower their energy bills, so they decided it was time to finish their basement and use it! Since there was dampness in the basement, they wanted to protect this investment and waterproof it before they finished it, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and installed a TripleSafe sump pump to divert all of the water out and away from the home. A trench was then dug around the interior perimeter so we could install our WaterGaurd drainage system. Since it was a large basement we also added some buried perforated pipes through the middle of the room to collect additional water that was under the home. The walls were then insulated and covered with our ThermalDry wall system. This would reflect heat back into the basement and act as a vapor barrier so any water that crept through the wall would be diverted down to the WaterGaurd system in the floor. The floors were then covered in ThermalDry Flooring, a non-organic material that will help insulate the floor so it is warm to walk along, and also waterproof so it will not mold. Finally, we added in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This basements transformation has given it a clean and crisp appearance, and it is ready to be used by the homeowners as they wish.  

This home's driveway had a sloped decline towards the basement entryway. While it had been installed with a drainage system, it couldn't keep up with the water that it was facing. Tired of having to squeegee the basement out after heavy rain, the homeowners were ready to find a solution to their water problem. For the experts in waterproofing, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

An install crew went out and began digging up the first drainage system in the driveway. We installed a bigger drainage system to be able to keep up with the water demands. To add more protection to the home we also dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement and installed a WaterGuard drainage system with a TripleSafe sump pump to divert all groundwater out and away from the foundation of the home. The home will now be ready for the rain, no more squeegeeing out this home!

This building was built partially into the ground, with the entryway sloping down to the door. The walkway had a drainage system installed, however, the building itself was just drywall over the concrete foundation/walls. With the walls being built into the groundworks, water had found a way to penetrate the porous concrete layer, and the building lower walls and baseboards were showing signs of mildew and rot. The building's owner knew they would need to find a waterproofing solution that would protect the building and their customers, so they called John's Waterproofing.

Our crew came out and began by removing the lower portions of walls, and digging a drainage trench along the interior perimeter. Once this was done we installed a WaterGuard drainage system which connected to a new TripleSafe sump pump that would divert all groundwater out and away from the building. We then installed our ThermalDry wall insulation and our Everlast Finished wall restoration system to give the building a clean, waterproofed finish. 

This home's vent covers and old crawlspace entrance had been damaged by a recent wind storm. While the crawlspace had some minor water issues before, the issues became worse after the storm, the broken wooden entry door was now a direct route for water to get under the home. With the wind blowing directly under the home, the energy costs went up and the homeowners decided they wanted to solve this issue and not have to worry about their crawlspace again, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by installing new vent covers and a Turtl crawlspace entrance. These would help to protect the crawlspace from the unconditioned weather outside of the home. To help with groundwater control, a SmartSump pump was installed and the space was encased in our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The walls of the crawlspace were then sealed and insulated with SilverGlo paneling. This home saw their energy costs go down and now don't need to worry about their crawlspace. With our annual service checks, we will ensure it stays dry and healthy, no matter what mother nature throws its way. 

This homeowner had an old standard 6 Mil vapor barrier. As this system rested under the house, it had accrued some rips and tears, allowing water to seep on top of the barrier. This led to water pooling and dirt to be carried up and settled, creating a layer of mud. To give the crawlspace much-needed waterproofing, in came John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew arrived and removed the old vapor barrier and any debris that rested in this space. A SmartSump pump was installed to direct all groundwater out and away from the home's foundation. This will help to keep the water levels down. The dirt floor was then covered in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. The vent covers also had some signs of damage, so these were replaced to have this crawlspace dry. This system will need to check regularly to ensure no tears or rips happen. 

This cottage was nestled on the hillside and when heavy rains hit, the water would run down the hill and pass under the home in the crawlspace, leading to mud and flooding until the rain slowed down. The homeowners had tried to build a water trench along the side of their home to direct the water safely away, but this did not provide a full solution to their issue. For a thorough solution, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews came out and opted to do a buried three-inch perforated pipe drainage system, this was installed along the exterior of the home's parameter. The crawlspace itself was fitted with a SmartSump pump to collect any other groundwater and push it out and away from the crawlspace of the home. We then installed our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier which is installed under each wooden post and is anchored into place, to ensure the home above stays dry and healthy. This home will now be ready! 

The homeowners hadn't put much thought to their crawlspace, until they noticed their vent covers had chew marks, and holes in them. Upon further investigation, there was evidence of critters being under the home. The homeowners had a pest control company come out to remove the unwanted guests. Worried about issues coming back, they looked for a long term solution. 

To keep critters out we used our product: CleanSpace. This is a woven 20 Mil vapor barrier. It is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. It seals under each wooden post and anchored along each wall. This tough material will keep vermin from crawling up into the crawlspace from the dirt flooring. We then replaced each vent cover so we could help keep the outside, out of this space. 

Water in the crawlspace can do a lot of damage, in this home it led to rotting wood foundation posts. This caused the floor of the home to warp above said post. Needing to protect their home from damage, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

To get this home dry and healthy we began with a full dry out. Once the space was ready we installed a parameter of a three-inch perforated pipe. This collects the groundwater, moves it to a new SuperSump plus, and then out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed three SmartJacks to replace the old rotten wooden posts and laid out a 6 Mil vapor barrier. 

Often when finishing a basement, general contractors have a tendency to finish directly over the basement, not implementing waterproofing tactics. This leaves their work and the homeowners investment in trouble. Foundations are naturally porous, and water has a tendency to find a way. This basement was a nice surprise, it had been thoroughly waterproofed before it had been finished and it was holding up! However, the portion of the homes foundation that was on a hillside, had been overlooked. The water damage in this hillside crawlspace, was beginning to emit a smell that was noticeable from the basement. 

Our crew was called out to fix the water issue in the crawlspace. We began with a dig out of some of the space, the water and lead to dirt getting pushed around and made the crawlspace entry a bit tight. Once this was fixed we cleared out the general debris and installed an UltraSump pump to collect groundwater and divert it out and away from the home via a discharge line. We than laid down a 6 Mil vapor barrier and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the moisture level in this space. This home will now be dry and healthy, no more nasty smells! 

This homeowner was on a budget, and decided the best route for them, would be to work on waterproofing their home over the years, so they could work their way up to the system their home needed. When we had been out to visit their home initially, they had just gotten fiberglass insulation installed in their crawlspace. They had been unaware that this would absorb water over the years and could be problematic.

To begin their waterproofing journey we installed a TripleSafe sump pump that would collect the ground water and push it out and away from the home via discharge line to a new LawnScape outlet. Next our crew had to replace eight rotten wooden beams with our SmartJacks to keep the home structurally sound. We than laid down a 6 Mil vapor barrier. The homeowners knew that this would last a few years and than need to be replaced. We replaced this vapor barrier once and replaced the vent covers at this time before they were ready to take on the final big step to protect their home. 

The third time we came out to help their crawlspace we pulled out the old, and now damaged fiberglass insulation. We than laid down our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation over the dirt floor. Each wooden post was isolated with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, this Cleanspace was than secured throughout the crawlspace. It is a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that comes protected with out 25 year warranty against rips and tears. The walls were than insulated with out spray foam. 

While this project took time to complete, the homeowners were patient and so happy when they finally had their home dry and healthy! 

This homes foundation had a lot of issues that had let to extensive water damage under their home. The homeowners had our friends over at Ram Jack do the structural repairs, but needed someone to come in and waterproof the crawlspace so they home would be protected, so they were referred to us at John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews arrived and began by removing the water saturated fiberglass insulation and the debris from the crawlspace. We than addressed the major waterproofing issue; downspouts dumping water beside the home and water pooling by the garage door and getting stuck alongside the home. We installed a TrenchDrain along the garage door, this would collect the water and run it along a new buried pipe system. This pipe system connected to the downspouts and than pushed all of the water out and away from the homes foundation and safely to a LawnScape outlet. We than went back under the home to properly insulate this crawlspace. We installed out TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor, this was than encased by our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier, which wraps around each post and is anchored along the walls. Finally we added spray foam along the foundation walls. This home is now structurally sound, and will be dry and healthy!  

Before this home was ready to be put on the market, the homeowners needed to clean up their crawlspace. The old vapor barrier was covered in mud and dirt, and water intrusions had pushed the barrier out of place. To assist our crew removed the old vapor barrier. They then installed a three inch perforated pipe system to direct groundwater to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water is directed out and away from the homes foundation. We than laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. This home is now set for it's new homeowners. 

Pooling water in the crawlspace, this is an easy way to know that a water issue is present. This home had pooling water found in every dip in the dirt floor under their home, and the homeowners were nervous about the harm this could do to their home and the health of the air within the home. To address this issue, the homeowners called in the experts at John's Waterproofing. 
Our crew began by removing the debris from under the home. We then installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect ground water from under the home and divert it out and away from the homes foundation. We then added in a layer of CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil thick barrier is inserted under each wooden post and anchored along the walls to give a water tight seal. We changed out the old vent covers and upgraded the exterior plywood entryway to a Turtl entrance. This home will now be dry and healthy. 

This home had been finished, and unbeknownst to the homeowners, there was a water issue pressing upwards through some floor cracks. Eventually the homeowners noticed that parts of the carpeting were smelling off and when heavy rains occurred, the carpet was wet. 

To solve this issue we began by removing the carpet, the odd smells was water mold that had begun to grow in the carpet where water was creeping through. We then installed a drainage system, this included WaterGaurd along the interior parameter, and a three inch pipe installed through the room to collect ground water. From here water went to a TripleSafe sump pump and was pushed out and away from the home. We then installed our gray ThermalDry carpet squares to give this home and dry and healthy finish. 

Crawlspaces that take on water quickly will show signs of water damage at a much fast rate. While this home had seemed like it wasnt bad, when the homeowners removed some large trees from their property, they noticed an increase of water in their crawlspace. 

To address this new stream of water, they had John's Waterproofing come out to do some work. Our crew began buy removing the debris from under the home. The crew then took our thirteen cubic yards of dirt to level out the crawlspace and keep it compliant with local codes. We also noticed some sagging in the above floors and installed two SmartJacks to support the homes foundation. Next we installed a discharge pipe system to collect the groundwater. All of the water then moves to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump and than our and away from the homes foundation. To finish we laid out a six Mil vapor barrier to help keep water down. This home is now ready to handle the increased volume of water, and will stay dry and healthy. 

This home is partially built below grade, with the first floor being about two feet below ground level on one side of the home. When the home had been finished, it was expected that this wouldn't be a big issue, and the interior had been finished with drywall and carpeting, no waterproofing solutions installed. However, the homeowners began to notice that the edges of the carpet were damp to the touch and the drywall was a bit squishy in some places. To solve this issue and have a dry and healthy home, John's Waterproofing was called in. 

To begin we pulled up the carpeting and removed the lower portions of the drywall to expose the poured foundation. The walls were damp to the touch and had been allowing water to creep inside. We then installed a WaterGuard drainage system around the interior parameter. This collects the water and pushed it to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump pump. To keep the walls dry, we installed a radiant barrier to insulate the walls and overlaid it with ThermalDry Wall panels for a clean look. To finish off this project we installed ThermalDry floor panels, to ensure this home will remain a dry and healthy home. 

When a home is being bought/sold, Brokers need a quote fast to perform crawlspace repairs.  These typically involve removing general debris and the old vapor barrier and doing what we refer to as PPP or Pipe, Pump, and Plastic.  A perimeter Perforated Pipe drain system is installed and graded to the low spot where it drains to a Super Sump Pump and discharged to either a rain drain or underground out in the yard or sometimes hillside depending on the topography of the yard.  Lastly, a new 6mil Plastic barrier is installed with 18" overlap on all seams as per code and runs up the wall of the foundation to assure that any water intrusion from the wall or footing is directed to the drain system. The homeowner was very happy with the job and the discount that is offered for a Real Estate Sale transaction. 

This homeowner found John's Waterproofing booth at a Home and Garden Show and was fascinated by what she learned about the company and CleanSpace. As she and her children suffered from allergies, she was very intrigued and wanted someone out as soon as possible.

Our System Designer was dispatched a few days later and did a thorough examination of the crawlspace and exterior of the home.  They sat down and put together a plan for remedying the water issue with a complete cleanout of the crawlspace, including all debris and the old insulation. Once completed the exterior vents were sealed and a perimeter drain system was installed to gather and lead the water to a SuperSump and an UltraSump Battery back up to ensure continued operation in the event of a power outage. Next, the floor was covered with TerraBlock, a high-density foam barrier that aids with insulation and protects the CleanSpace barrier. The posts are all isolated from the moisture and the CleanSpace 20mil, nylon-reinforced plastic barrier, was laid out. All seams were sealed and the barrier was run up and attached to the foundation walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure that the space stayed dry, thus killing all existing mold and preventing any regrowth as the air was continuously cleaned. With over 50% of the air in your homecoming from the crawlspace, keeping it dry and healthy protects your home and family. 

The homeowner reported that their breathing improved greatly in a very short time.

This homeowner had a plumbing leak in his crawlspace and the plumber discovered that water had been flooding the crawlspace over the years causing damage to the foundation of the home, for a waterproofing solution, the homeowner was sent to John's Waterproofing. 

Our System Designer arrived at the home and was greeted by the homeowner and went right to work; measuring the home and inspecting the exterior for possible contributing factors that could be causing or adding to the problem. Afterward, he sat with the homeowner to share his findings and presented a solution to suit the homeowner's budget while addressing the major issues that were found.

Our experienced crew came to do the work. First, all the old barrier and debris was removed from the crawlspace and a perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter of the inside of the crawlspace and graded to push the water to the SmartSump that was installed at the lowest point. The discharge line was attached to the downspout pipe after making sure it was flowing satisfactorily.  Next, a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor, covering all the dirt and overlapping 18" and fastened up the side of the foundation to ensure that any water intrusion from the wall or footing would find its way to the drain system. The homeowner was impressed with the professional and hard-working crew and loved the 10 yr warranty! 

This homeowner had a basement/crawlspace combo and both were wet and needed help.  John's Waterproofing was called to help. Our System Designer arrived and did a full examination of the crawlspace and found it wet with insulation failing and a vapor barrier that was dirty and failing to cover the floor of the crawlspace. After measuring the space and taking several pictures of the crawlspace damage he went on to examine the basement where he found water seeping in through what we refer to as the cold joint or where the footing meets the wall. After taking several photos and measuring the space, he sat down with the homeowner to explain to him what was going on and how John's Waterproofing could fix it and keep both spaces dry.

A few weeks later our Installation team arrived to do the work. Starting with the basement WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter. WaterGuard is an award-winning drain system that is laid in a bed of gravel that is in a trench that is jackhammered open on the footing of the basement and concreted over leaving it virtually invisible. The WaterGuard terminates at a TripleSafe Sump Pump and discharge was directed to an exterior rain drain. BrightWall was chosen to cover the walls making the basement light and bright and assuring that any water intrusion from the walls would be directed into the WaterGuard. Next was addressing the crawlspace. They cleaned the debris, old insulation, and barrier from the crawlspace. The floor of the crawlspace was higher than that of the basement so around the perimeter a 3" perforated pipe drain system was laid, terminating at the basement wall. A hole was drilled to let the water flow into a WellDuct that was tucked into the WaterGuard so it would properly drain to the TripleSafe sump and be removed.  A new 6mil vapor barrier was laid and overlapped properly and attached to the walls to assure any water intrusion from the walls was captured and led to the drain system.

Now this homeowner had a warranted system to keep his crawlspace and basement clean and dry.

This home was getting ready to be sold. Before putting the home on the market, the homeowners did a full look over their home. One point which they wanted to tackle before moving forward, they knew they would need to keep the crawlspace clean and dry. While an old vapor barrier was in this space, it was encased in mud and hadn't been changed out in a very long time. So, they called in John's Waterproofing. We arrived and pulled out the old vapor barrier and cleaned out the debris from under the home. We then installed a perforated pipe to collect groundwater, diverting it to a newly installed SuperSump pump. From here water is pushed out and away from the home. We then laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier. This space is now dry, healthy, and clean for its future homeowners. 

This home's crawlspace emitted a damp aroma, the homeowners had used air fresheners, but this didn't stop the odd smell. To finally address the problem at the source, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing to assess the crawlspace. Upon inspection, the foundation walls were found to be damp. While a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier had been placed, since the water issue was coming from the walls, it was still creating condensation which was allowing water to sit on top of the barrier. 

To begin, our crew began by removing the old vapor barrier and cleaning out the debris. We then installed a SmartSump pump to collect the crawlspace groundwater to push it out and away from the home. The walls were covered in our SilverGlo insulation panels, which will save the homeowners money on energy bills, and also provide waterproofing for the foundation walls. We then laid down our CleanSpace 20 Mil vapor barrier. This was inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and secured in place. As a final piece to protect this home we inserted a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure that the home could stay dry and healthy. 

When a house is built near a water source, waterproofing becomes that much more important to protect your home. Water can cause long-term damage which shortens the longevity of a home, and this home had pooled in the crawlspace almost year round. The homeowners were concerned about the damage this water could impose, so they called up John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our crew arrived and to keep the home dry and healthy, began to do a full encapsulation. This began with cleaning out the debris from under the home and a dry out. Once the space was ready we installed a perforated pipe system around the interior parameter. This collects the groundwater and grades it all to a newly installed SmartSump pump with an UltraSump backup. From here the water is safely diverted out and away from the home. We then laid down our crawlspace insulation; TerraBlock. We then used a 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This woven material is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the foundation wall joists, and fully secured. The foundation walls were then sealed and insulated with spray foam, and the vent covers were upgraded. This home will now be dry and healthy. 

A homeowner called John's Waterproofing complaining of sloping floors in her home.  She suspected, rightfully so, that there was a problem in her crawlspace.  A System Designer was dispatched to check out the problem and discovered that it was much worse than she expected. There was nearly 10" of water in the crawlspace at the time of inspection and because it had been an ongoing problem, the posts in the crawlspace were rotting, and some not even touching the concrete pads and this was causing the floors to slope. 

Before any work could be done, the crawlspace had to be dried out. To do this, our crew removed the old 6 mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris. We then placed a sump pump and fans in the crawlspace to dry it sufficiently so we could waterproof it. A couple of weeks later, the space was dry enough to do the installation. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge.  All the damaged wooden posts were replaced with Smart Jacks, The SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable galvanized metal supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to the failing structure, but it can also lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Lastly, a new 6mil vapor barrier was installed and properly overlapped and attached to the foundation walls.

This homeowner understood the wisdom of preventative maintenance so he enlisted the professionals at John's Waterproofing to come out and thoroughly assess his crawlspace, yard drain, and downspouts to make sure his new home would stay in good condition. A System Designer was scheduled to do just that. The news was not good. There was a lot of water in the crawlspace and the wooden posts were being exposed to the water which causes the wood to rot and the insulation to fall. Additionally, while the homeowner had put plastic extensions on his downspouts, this is rather like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg.

Our crew was dispatched to the home a few weeks later to get the work done. They removed the old barrier and debris from the crawlspace and installed a full perimeter drainage system around the interior of the crawlspace consisting of 3" perf pipe in a silt sock and terminated to 2 low spots of the crawlspace. Because of the large sq. footage, it was necessary to install 2 TripleSafe sumps at those low spots. We then addressed the 6 downspouts with a total of 130' of 3" PVC pipe, and the Sump pumps were discharged to the downspouts drainage, terminating at 3 NDS drains. Lastly, a new 6 mil plastic barrier was installed on all dirt surfaces and fastened to the foundation.  Now the homeowner had the assurance of his crawlspace being dry and no more tripping over the, above ground, plastic downspout extensions.

This customer was going to install new wood flooring throughout her home and felt it was prudent to check her crawlspace for moisture to prevent her investment from buckling. A wise thing to do, the inspection showed a lot of water in the crawlspace and it would have surely ruined her new floors if left unchecked. After meeting with the System Designer she opted to go for our full crawlspace encapsulation. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced Installers came out and got busy laying down barriers to keep the home free of dirt and debris for when they worked. Then all of the debris, old insulation and barrier were removed.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the lowest point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed and it was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

Now the air in the home is healthy and her new floors are safe from warping!

This home was near a high water table and this caused water to pool around the exterior of the home as well as bring water into the crawlspace. The homeowners wanted to protect their home and called up John's Waterproofing to help properly address this ongoing issue. 

To begin our crew cleaned up under the home, once the space was ready we installed a drainage system along the exterior of the building. To do this we extended the downspouts into the ground and graded this water around the parameter of the home and safely away. We then moved under the home and laid down a six Mil vapor barrier. This home will now have the ground water safely diverted away from the crawlspace and the home can be dry and healthy. 

When there are water problems in a crawlspace, often mold develops and through "the Stack Effect" air comes into the crawlspace vents and rises through the home and into the attic before leaving via the attic vents. Because of this, mold in the crawlspace makes its way into the attic and into the insulation and wood. This home was suffering just that so John's Waterproofing was called for a solution.

Two crews were dispatched to the home. One to address the crawlspace and another specialty team to address the attic space.  In the crawlspace, the old barrier and moldy insulation were removed followed by an application of MoldX2 to kill the mold. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawl where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the drainage system. Simultaneously, all the dirty insulation was removed from the attic and it, too, was treated with MoldX2. Lastly, insulation was blown onto the attic floor. Now, these homeowners can enjoy a clean, healthy home.

Though we primarily work on single-family homes and apartments, John's Waterproofing also does repairs on commercial buildings.  In this instance, an old commercial building with an extensive basement had suffered from water intrusion for many years, but a new owner needed the space for food storage so the water had to go! A bit of a tricky job due to several oddities in the basement, it required several inspections to come up with a plan that would work.

The basement had several areas where extra concrete had been unceremoniously dumped in large piles so the crew had to go after them with jackhammers and break up and remove the concrete. Once this was completed, the floor of the basement had to be re-poured where the concrete "hills" had been removed and left to cure for a few days. Then the jackhammers returned to break a trench around the perimeter wall to prepare for the WaterGuard installation as well as a number of trenches through the center of the floor where TripleWall leach lines would be run to direct water from the middle of the large basement floor to the perimeter WaterGuard system. Two TripleSafe Sump systems were required because of the large square footage, one at opposing corners of the basement and the sumps were discharged to the outside and away from the building and under the surrounding concrete to the street water drainage. Lastly, BrightWall, a semi-rigid plastic panels were added to give the basement a semi-finished look and a durable, easy to clean surface. This space is now dry and healthy, ready to be used by the new building owners. 

Due to the high level of water damage this home had seen there were a few issues presented. The minimum height requirement for a crawlspace is 18" but this home's crawlspace was only 6-12" in height, there was no barrier, and the piers and posts were sinking into the mud. A System Designer was scheduled to go out and assess the situation and create a proposal for the home's owner. 

The crew was dispatched a few weeks later to begin working. The first order of business was to excavate the excess dirt to bring the crawlspace height to code. It was arduous work, our crew has to hand dig under the home and remove, one bucket at a time.  As the dirt was removed, SmartJack galvanized metal, adjustable pier supports were installed to hold up the structure. A perimeter drainage system consisting of a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock was then installed and graded to the lowest spot of the crawlspace where a new Smart Sump was installed to take the water and pump it out of the crawlspace and discharge it out and buried in the yard, well away from the structure. Once completed, a new 6mil black plastic vapor barrier was laid and overlapped a minimum of 18" and run up the foundation walls, and secured just below the rim joist. This ensures that any water that comes in at the footing or wall can't breach the barrier and is driven into the drainage system.

This homes basement was suffering from water leakage. The homeowner would have to clean up the water after heavy rains, and as the years went by the homeowners were ready to find a solution to fix the issue, instead of just having to deal with the aftermath. For help they called up John's Waterproofing after seeing one of our trucks at their neighbors home. 

To waterproof this space we began by digging a trench along the basements interior parameter. We installed WaterGuard here to grade all collected water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water is pushed out and away from the homes foundation. To ensure all water from the walls went to this drainage system, the walls were covered with BrightWall paneling. The homeowner is much happier with their basement now, they enjoy how bright and easy it is to keep clean, and enjoy not having to worry after heavy rain. 

This homeowner was getting ready to sell their home, to make this a smooth transition, they called up John's Waterproofing for our Realty Program. After crafting an initial quote based on home plans, the specialist arrived to get hard numbers based off of the home's issues. This particular home had water intruding up to a few inches on top of the barrier. To have the home pass inspection the homeowner opted for a PPP or Pipe/Pump/Plastic.

Because there was so much water, the crawlspace was first dried out sufficiently so the present mud wouldn't slide back as they did their digging. A service crew was sent out to remove the old barrier and install a couple of temporary sump pumps and several large fans to get the crawlspace ready for the real job. 

Our System installers were dispersed to do the work once the crawlspace was dry enough. The old barrier, hanging insulation, and all other debris were removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the drainage system. The new owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty!

This appointment took our System Designer to the coast to visit a customer who called to find out how we could help her with her wet crawlspace. More than happy to, he drove to her home and asked her a few questions so he could understand her concerns. Her biggest fear was mold. She was allergic to mold and didn't want her home to make her sick. The System Designer told her that encapsulation was the only sure way to keep her home mold-free. She knew something about it because she had read through the highly informative book that John's Waterproofing had mailed to her prior to his visit and she was very interested. The System Designer went into the crawlspace to thoroughly inspect it and measure the humidity levels. After assessing the space, he sat with her and put together a proposal explaining every expenditure and any options she may want to consider. 

As scheduled, the crew come over to do the work. All of the debris, old insulation and barrier were removed.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point of the crawlspace. TerraBlock was laid over the dirt floor and the vents were sealed up and posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed up, and run up the walls, fastening under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth with the air filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

A customer called John's Waterproofing after seeing an article about encapsulation and was eager to learn more.  A System Designer was sent to the home to take a look and answer all questions the customer had on the benefits and the process of a full encapsulation. He explained how it would help them save on utility bills, give them healthy and clean, mold-free air, increasing the value of their property and even offering storage space. 

A crew came out later and got to work removing the old barrier, dirty fiberglass insulation, and general debris. They then installed a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock around the full perimeter of the crawlspace and graded it to a SuperSump system (a primary pump with a battery backup pump to assure it would continue to operate in the event of a power outage) and a method of discharge for the water. Following this, they laid TerraBlock, a 3/4" flexible foam insulation sandwiched in a plastic barrier that adds R-value, and padding for when walking or crawling in the crawlspace. Over the TerraBlock goes the CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is a 20mil, nylon-reinforced plastic vapor barrier. It is used to isolate the posts from moisture under the barrier and all the seams are sealed. It is fastened to the foundation walls just under the rim joist. The vents around the crawlspace are sealed with Everlast plastic covers that are designed to last forever and the old wooden access door was replaced with an Everlast well and door. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to keep humidity at bay and filter the air. Lastly, a closed cell spray foam is applied to the foundation walls and rim joist, effectively encapsulating the space and insulating the home to industry standards.

This homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing because of the continual flooding in their basement. They wanted to use the basement for more living space but they knew it was impossible unless the flooding problems were solved first. A System Designer went to the home and walked with the homeowner through the basement and educated him about WaterGuard, an effective and reliable way to solve wet basement problems-permanently! There was also flooding near the downspouts which was adding excess water pressure on the exterior of the home which needed to be addressed. 

A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the interior of the basement and the gutter system downspouts were extended into the ground to hook up with a discharge line, pushing all water safely away from the home. Inside, the WaterGuard system was installed along the interior, grading all collected water to the TripleSafe Sump System with its triple pump system and a battery backup to protect their future finished basement investment. Once completed, ThermalDry Radiant Wall systems, a flexible vapor barrier that helps to insulate the basement, was installed. Now the basement was ready to remodel without fear of damage to their investment.

We were requested to come out and examine this homeowner's crawlspace. Even though they had another contractor come out to dry out and keep the crawlspace dry, clearly something was amiss because they discovered that there was still quite a bit of water in the crawlspace. They had tried to contact the original company, but they had gone out of business. John's Waterproofing has been around since 1974 so they opted to call us. A system designer went to the home and she found that the work was poorly done. The drain pipe was just laid on the surface and not in a trench and the sump pump was a plastic pump, not designed for a crawlspace it was put in a plastic bucket that was not below grade so the water couldn't get to it. Furthermore, the sump wasn't in the low spot of the crawlspace and the discharge was inadequate. Now mold was growing and this homeowner was not happy. After consulting with our designer, this customer decided that John's Waterproofing and a full encapsulation would be the right choice. 

After arriving a few weeks later our crew got right to work and removed the old 6 mil vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation, debris and the failing sump pump installed by the previous contractor. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace and protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. The CleanSpace is used to isolate each wooden post and each seam is sealed before it's anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, 3" of closed-cell spray foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated to industry standards to keep the air clean and free of mold.

Seeing a crack develop in your basement wall can be very disconcerting. The homeowner, in this case, was noticing that there was moisture at the base of a small area of the basement when they removed some drywall. Here, they discovered a long crack in the foundation. They called John's Waterproofing even though there were no signs that it was leaking badly. A system designer came out with a moisture meter to spot-check the full perimeter of the basement's baseboards, and found no indication of moisture anywhere but where the crack was. The homeowner opted to fill the crack. 

A 2-man crew came out to take care of the crack. First, they opened the crack slightly with it being wider in front and closing in a V-shape to the back. They filled the crack with Bentonite, a clay material known for its ability to swell when it comes into contact with moisture, and then a layer of Xypex, a crystalline, fast-drying hydraulic cement. 

This home had recently been purchased and had our usual realty crawlspace work; pipe, pump, and plastic. This basic system will keep the water under control, safely collecting groundwater and pumping it out and away from the foundation. After living in the home for about a year, we had a service technician out to see how the system was holding up. They cleaned the sump pump up, checked all of the functions and mentioned how they could upgrade their crawlspace and save on energy bills if they wished to. The homeowners had noted that energy bills were high on the home, so they opted to move forward. 

Our install crew removed the 6 Mil vapor barrier and laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. The foundation walls were covered with SilverGlo paneling to aid in insulating the space. We then used CleanSpace, a 20 mil woven barrier, this was installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed into place. The homeowners were thrilled and saw their energy bill go down the very next month. 

Homeowners noted an odd, musty smell coming from under their home. While they had a general six Mil vapor barrier installed, they knew the odor meant an issue was occurring. After seeing us in a local magazine, they decided to call up John's Waterproofing for help to find a long term solution to keep their home dry. Upon inspection our design specialist noticed that water was pooling in the lowest point of the crawlspace, rising above the vapor barrier. This moisture had caused one of the wooden posts to begin rotting at the base, and the old fiberglass insulation was falling in pieces from the accumulated water weight. 

To fix the issue, our installation crews arrived and began by doing a dry out of the space before coming back to clear the space of the old vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, as well as the general debris. We then replaced the rotting post with a SmartJack to add the proper structural support. Next, they installed a SuperSump plus to collect the groundwater and send it out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new six Mil vapor barrier, running this up the foundation walls by eighteen inches to help keep water out of this space. 

An odd smell coming from the crawlspace is something to look into. When the homeowners of this home recognized the odd smell in their home was in their crawlspace, they called up the local experts; John's Waterproofing. Our system designer investigated and discovered signs of critters chewing through their old exterior crawlspace entrance, and had signs critters had been living in this space. The old fiberglass insulation was falling in strips from water weight, and parts were put into areas for critter nesting. 

To absolve the issue we came in and removed all of the damaged insulation and debris from under the home. We then replaced each vent cover as well as installed a new EverLast exterior entryway. We then installed TerraBlock insulation on the dirt floor, and SilverGlo insulation on the foundation walls. Using CleanSpace, we then encased the crawlspace. This is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed in with special four inch wide tape. As a final step we then installed a Sanidry dehumidifier to keep this space dry, and the home above healthy!

It's not always crawlspace or basement leaks that we address. It can be common for a slope to bring water into a garage as well. The solution for this issue is much like that of a basement. For this home, we installed WaterGuard on the problematic walls in the garage and led it to a SuperSump pump to be discharged out via a rain drain system. WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without worry of clogging pipes from soils under the floor. The owner also opted for the BrightWall panel system to be installed on the walls to create a bright semi-finished look that could be easily cleaned. 

These homeowners hadn't checked their crawlspace in years, knowing a healthy home starts at the foundation, they decided to glance under the home. They found the old fiberglass insulation was falling in pieces and layers of mud were caked on the old vapor barrier. They knew this was an issue and they called up John's Waterproofing for help. After a thorough inspection we crafted a solution to clean up under their home. 

When our installers arrived they began cleaning out the space, this included removing the old insulation and the nasty vapor barrier. We then strapped up the loose air ducts throughout the space. We then installed a three inch perforated pipe system around the interior parameter in a silt sock to collect the groundwater. The water graded to a newly installed SuperSump pump which then pumped the water out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new six Mil vapor barrier, running this up the foundation walls eighteen inches to keep the water directed to the pump system. This crawlspace is once again a dry and healthy space, and we will do annual service visits to ensure it remains that way. 

This homeowner called because they discovered water in their crawlspace. A system designer went out to meet with them and found more than just water in the crawlspace. The vapor barrier was nearly obsolete and insulation was falling from the floor above. He thoroughly examined the crawlspace and the exterior of the home to determine if there were outlying problems that could be contributing to the problem. The specialist then crafted a solution to solve the water issues and the homeowners were excited to have their crawlspace encapsulated. 

After arriving a few weeks later our crew got right to work and removed what remained of the old 6mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed SuperSump pump, along with proper discharge. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. CleanSpace is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this home stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, a closed cell Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated to industry standards while keeping the air clean and free of mold. With proper crawlspace insulation, the homeowners will also enjoy savings on their energy bills!

We were contacted by a property management company to check a rental home. When he got there the System Designer noted that the floors were uneven and when he entered the crawlspace, there were several inches of water on the crawlspace floor and the bottom of several posts were wet and rotting out. This was causing the posts to float over the piers, hence the sagging floors. The answer to the problem was to replace the wooden posts with SmartJacks, a galvanized metal and adjustable jack that would last for years to come. 

First, the crew had to dry out the crawlspace by dropping in some temporary sump pumps and large fans. After a few weeks, the crawlspace was ready for installation. The wooden posts were replaced with the SmartJacks and a 3" perforated pipe drainage system was trenched in around the perimeter and graded to a new TripleSafe Sump System. Drainage from the pumps was led well away from the house and directed downhill. A new 6mil plastic vapor barrier was laid on the floor and attached to the foundation walls to protect the home. 

We love returning customers. This was a call from a contractor who was renovating a home and there were serious issues with the basement leaking and ponding water near the home. Ponding water creates hydrostatic pressure at the footing area of the exterior of the foundation wall and this pressure will push water until it can find a porous spot to enter the basement.  As this contractor had used us before for other projects they were happy with our diagnosis and happily shared the warranties to the homeowners, ready to begin work! 

An installation crew was dispatched and they began by installing a WaterGuard drain system around the perimeter of the basement which was directed to a TripleSafe sump system to gather and remove the water. ThermalDry Wall was fastened to the basement walls and driven into the WaterGuard to make sure that any moisture from the foundation walls would be captured and directed the sump system. ThermalDry will also aids in insulating the space and save on energy bills. On the exterior, french drains were installed to drain the ponding water out and away from the property. 

This homeowners basement had water gathering in a few spots along the walls. For a while the homeowners would just pull items away from these spots when heavy rains came around. However, they noticed that the pooling was expanding. With the knowledge that this water intrusion was getting worse, they searched for a solution that could protect their home. This is how they ended up finding John's Waterproofing online. 

To begin, our crew dug a trench along the interior parameter. Here we laid in a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the water and grade it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is pushed out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. To ensure no water creeps in through the walls we then installed BrightWall paneling along the foundation walls, this will ensure any moisture safely travels to the WaterGuard system. The homeowners are thrilled with how it turned out, and love that in addition to knowing their home is properly waterproofed, it is also so much brighter and more welcoming. 

Homeowners here were getting older, and they knew it wasn't an option for them to keeping checking under their home. For years they had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier and would go under the home after heavy rains to straighten out the barrier, and tape up patches as needed. But with it becoming more physically difficult to crawl under the home to do so, they wanted a solution that would make it easier on them. They ended up seeing our ad in a local magazine, and called us up to see what our options are. 

To provide the top notch solution, and ease their mind, the homeowners chose to get a crawlspace encapsulation. To begin we cleared out the general debris, damaged vapor barrier, as well as the old damaged fiberglass that the homeowner had been strapping up as it got worn down by water weight. While under here we discovered two of the wooden posts were beginning to rot at the base, we replaced these with SmartJacks. Each vent cover was then replaced and sealed up. A trench was then dug to lay down a three inch perforated pipe system to divert water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Water was then sent away from the homes foundation. Next we insulated the space, this included TerraBlock along the dirt floor and SilverGlo along the walls. The space was then fully sealed with CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven barrier is inserted under each post, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place with a specialized waterproof tape. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space remains dry and healthy. 

Our System Designer was assigned to go see a home out on the coast with a real mess in the crawlspace. Due to all the fiberglass insulation that was falling down, it was difficult to move through the space. However with much effort, he found signs of water intrusion which caused some of the piers to sink into the soft sandy dirt, causing foundation problems. The floors above were warping and the homes downspouts were dumping far too close to the home. The designer then sat down to explain the issues at hand, and built a detailed proposal complete with a drawing of her crawlspace.

Later the installation crew headed to the coast to do the job. They cleared the crawlspace of all of the fiberglass insulation and the old remnants of the 6 mil vapor barrier. Three of the posts were replaced with adjustable steel SmartJacks and a full perimeter drain system was installed and graded to a SuperSump Plus at the lowest spot of the crawlspace. The discharge was attached to one of the downspouts so the collected water could be led well away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. Our installation crew then laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier to help this space remain dry and healthy. 

We received a call from a homeowner saying they needed a new vapor barrier because there was standing water on top of it. When there is standing water on top of a vapor barrier, the answer to the problem extends beyond a new vapor barrier. It's a clear sign that too much water is in the crawlspace and a more thorough solution to control the water is needed. One of our System Designers was scheduled and arrived at the home. He did a complete inspection of the crawlspace and around the exterior of the home. He then went inside and sat with the homeowner and showed him the photos he took and explained that the most likely reason for the water being so high was because of the surrounding high water tables. Together they built a proposal that offered a solution that would take care of the problem and satisfy the homeowner and his pocketbook.

The installation crew arrived and got to work removing the old vapor barrier, assorted debris, and all of the insulation from the floor below and remnants remaining above. A trench was dug around the perimeter where a perforated pipe in a silt sock was laid to gather the water and it was all graded to the low spot where a SmartSump and an UltraSump battery backup were installed. The discharge from the pump was connected to the downspout drain so it could discharge properly. A new 6mil vapor barrier was laid on the dirt floor, generously overlapped and attaching to the foundation walls and a few of the post piers to keep it firmly in place.

Homeowner's were curious about what their crawlspace looked like. After seeing one of our commercials, they noticed they hadn't looked under their home in over a decade. Upon inspection they found the dirt damp to the touch and many points of the foundation walls glistened with moisture. Their old vapor barrier had been pushed and scrunched up, with chew marks along it. They decided it was a good idea to call up John's Waterproofing. 

After a thorough inspection, they were scheduled for a crawlspace encapsulation. Our installation crew began by removing the old vapor barrier. We then installed a SmartSump with an UltraSump back up in the lowest spot of the crawlspace. This will also groundwater to naturally grade to the sump pump to then be sent safely out and away from the homes foundation. The dirt floor was then insulated with TerraBlock. The vents were then sealed up and we brought in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the foundation rim joist and sealed into place. As a final piece our spray foam specialist arrived a few days later and insulated the foundation walls. The homeowners can now rest assured their home will be dry and healthy. 

As water moves down the hillside, it was running under this home,  right through the crawlspace.  The homeowners were concerned about the damage this could do to their home.  To address the issue,  they reached out to John's Waterproofing for a solution.  After a full inspection, the design specialist worked with the homeowners to find a solution that fits their homes needs and budget.

To begin our crew cleared the crawlspace out.  We then dug a trench through the crawlspace,  where we installed a three inch wide perferated pipe system.  This grades the water to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump which pushes the water safely out and away from the homes foundation.  We then laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier,  running up the walls and overlapping the layers to help keep this space protected against water damage.  

The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing when they noticed their old 6 mil vapor barrier was due to be replaced. They didn't want to encapsulate or do any extra work, just replace. Our installation crew came out and pulled out the old vapor barrier, and debris. The old barrier had chew marks and tears, and had been moved around over the years. We then brought in a new 6 mil vapor barrier. We overlapped the barrier edges and ran it up the foundation walls to add extra protection against water issues. We then replaced two of the vent screens since they had been chewed through by rodents. 

When a home experiences flooding the the crawlspace this can lead to a rapid deterioration of the homes health.  These homeowners called us up when they found a few inches of standing water under their home.  They knew they needed help to keep their home safe and dry. 

To begin working,  we needed to dry out the crawlspace. We installed fans, temporary pumps, and came out a few weeks later to begin officially Waterproofing the space.  With the area now dry and ready for work we removed the old vapor barrier and debris.  We then installed a perforated pipe system in a silt sock.  This will collect water and run it along to the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump which pushes the water out to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation and encased the space with our 20 mil CleanSpace vapor barrier.  Our crew them sealed up the vents and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. A week later our spray Foam specialist arrived and insulated the foundation walls. This home will now be dry and healthy! 

Downspouts have an important job at keeping the roof water from dumping off of the roof. However, if this water is just dumped near the homes foundation, this causes excessive water pressure along the home. This homes three downspouts were creating large puddles during heavy rains, and the basement was seeing moisture on the foundation walls in accordance to where the downspouts were. To get the issue sorted out, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. 

Our installation crew arrived and began by addressing the exterior issue. Each downspout was extended into the ground and a pipe system was installed leading this water safely away from the home. Then in the basement we installed a full perimeter drainage system. This consists of digging out a trench, laying down a bed of gravel, and installing WaterGuard. The walls were then covered with CleanSpace wall to safely send any moisture down into the drain system. All water is then graded to a TripleSafe sump pump to then be pushed out and away from the home. This home will now be dry and healthy! 

This homeowner called when their rental property had a must damp odor drafting up and into it. They knew to keep the home healthy, the crawlspace would need to be properly addressed. They called us up and we did a full inspection and we crafted a solution to address the homes needs. 

To begin our crew removed the debris from under the home. We then had to replace two of the wooden posts that had begun to rot out. To keep water moving out of the space we installed a SmartSump to send the water out and away from the homes foundation. We then applied TerraBlock along the dirt floor and laid out CleanSpace. This is a 20 Mil vapor barrier that goes under each wooden post, anchored along the rim joists, and sealed into place. Each vent was fully sealed up and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. A few weeks later our spray foam specialist applied spray foam along the walls to keep this space dry and healthy. 

This homeowner found moisture coming up through the basement floor in a few areas. It wasn't pooling yet, but was wet to the touch and they were nervous about what this water issue could grow into. The searched online and decided to call up John's Waterproofing to find a solution before it got worse. 

To begin work, our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we installed a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the groundwater and give it a safe path to grade to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Since the basement was large we also added some perforated pipes cutting through the space to collect groundwater and move it along. From the pump all water is sent well away from the homes foundation. The walls then had BrightWall paneling installed, this will divert any wall moisture down into the drainage system as well. As a final step to protect this space we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. This home is now dry and healthy! 

This basement had water intrusion issues, moisture was present along the foundation walls, and damp spots would appear on the floor. The basement wasn't very large, but, the homeowners wanted to utilize the space for storage. They searched online and sought out John's Waterproofing for a solution. We scheduled a design specialist who did a full inspection inside and out, determining that the basement would need to be waterproofed, and the exterior downspouts needed to be addressed as they were dumping the roofs water near the foundation, adding to the water issues. 

To begin helping, our installers extended the downspouts down and dug a trench for a drainage system to guide the water safely away from the home. In the basement, we then dug a trench along the interior perimeter, here we installed a WaterGuard drain system to guide the water to a TripleSafe sump pump to discharge water away from the home. To guide any wall moisture to the drain system, we then installed BrightWall paneling along the walls. The homeowners are thrilled with how bright and clean the basement now looks and are happy the space can safely be used for their storage needs. They also enjoy how water no longer pools around their downspouts. 

Water flows downhill, and in this home case, pooled in the crawlspace's low spot. The homeowners saw water mold growing along the low spot, leaving stains on the foundation walls. The homeowners tried to have a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier, but it ended up bunching up in the low spot as water moved downhill. Thus, they searched online and called the industry experts here at John's Waterproofing. They had read up on our encapsulation system and were intrigued. 

To begin working, our crew removed the old vapor barrier and the debris that was present. We then installed a SmartSump pump with an UltraSump back up in the low spot. This will collect water and safely dispel it away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. TerraBlock insulation was then laid down over the dirt floor and encased with CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that is fully sealed into place. The vents were all sealed up and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. As a final step we send out our spray foam specialist who applied spray foam along the foundation walls to both air seal the space, as well as lower the homes energy costs. The final product, stays in place even if moved on, and the homeowners were thrilled that it will also make their home more energy efficient. 

When a home is built it is common practice to have open vents, it used to be thought that this would help, but it actually traps in moisture, leads to high humidity, and causes a host of issues. The homeowners had dealt with critters, flooding after snow melt off, and chilly floors throughout the years. After speaking with a neighbor, they heard about John's Waterproofing and how there was a solution to crawlspace issues. They called us up for a free inspection to see how we could help out. 

We crafted an encapsulation system to suit their needs. We began by pulling out the old debris out from under the home. We then sealed up the vents and upgraded the exterior entrance with an EverLast doorway. This will keep the space blocked off from the elements. We then installed a drain system along the interior perimeter, leading all collected water to an UltraSump Pump. Water is then sent away from the home. The dirt floor was insulated with TerraBlock and CleanSpace was installed, isolating the wooden posts from any moisture, and anchoring along the rim joists. Spray Foam was applied along the foundation walls to properly insulate and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. This crawlspace was now brighter, dry, and healthy. 

Weird smell in the crawlspace? This is a good sign that some waterproofing needs to occur. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing and after a full inspection, the design specialist informed them that they had high humidity which was causing water droplets to occur on the wooden beams under the home, which leads to mold spores. For a long term crawlspace repair solution, a full encapsulation would be the best route. 

To begin our work, the installation crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then applied Mold X2 as needed to ensure the space would be healthy. We then installed an UltraSump pump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace to guide any groundwater well away from the homes foundation. The space was then insulated with TerraBlock over the dirt floor. Next we wrapped the space in CleanSpace, this 20 Mil woven vapor barrier goes under each wooden post, anchors to the walls, and is sealed into place. Each vent was sealed up and we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. We then sent out a spray foam specialist who applied spray foam along the foundation walls to keep this space dry and healthy! 

When heating and cooling costs elevate, it is time to look for ways to save. This homeowner turned to the internet and discovered that a poorly insulated crawlspace could be a reason for their bills to be going up. They glanced under their home and discovered the old fiberglass insulation under there was falling down. To see what their options were, they called up John's Waterproofing. After discussing insulation for crawlspaces, they homeowner opted for an encapsulation. 

To begin our crew pulled out the old insulation. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation, this goes over the dirt floor. We then brought in CleanSpace, inserting it under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed fully into place along every edge. Our spray foam specialist then went out and finished insulting the space with spray foam on the foundation walls. This space is now fully encased, and the homeowners can enjoy lower heating and cooling costs! 

When a water problem is evident, it is not a question of if it will get progressively worse, but when. Once water has a way through a homes foundation, it will just keep coming and time will allow the water to come through more efficiently. That is why we provide long term solutions that keep this water moving out and away from the home safely. These homeowners had noted that what was once condensation along their basement walls, had become small puddles along their basement floor. After a full inspection with a design specialist, they were ready to waterproof! 

Our installation crew began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement, here we installed a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the groundwater and all the water from the walls and grade it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump to be pushed away from the home. To ensure the water from the walls makes it here, we installed a BrightWall panel system on the walls. This material cannot rot, mold, and is easy to clean while brightening the space. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air in this space healthy as well. The homeowners are pleased the basement looks so bright and nice now, no longer a damp burden.  

With an odd odor coming from the crawlspace, these homeowners decided to look under their home. They discovered the old fiberglass insulation was falling in pieces from water weight, and the odd odor was stronger here. They recalled an ad they had seen for John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection and crafted a solution made to fit their homes needs. 

To begin our crew had to clear the crawlspace. To begin we upgraded the exterior crawlspace entrance to an Everlast Entryway. Next we pulled out the old fiberglass insulation, the 6 mil vapor barrier, and other general debris. We then installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest spot to collect groundwater and run it along a discharge line to a LawnScape outlet safely away from the homes foundation. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and brought in CleanSpace, and sealed off the vents. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam was applied on the foundation walls. The homeowners are thrilled with how clean and bright the crawlspace is now! 

A basement is a convenient space for storage, a laundry room, and for this homeowner a crafting space. However, the humidity levels were high and some of the canvases were not pleased with the unnecessary dampness. They had tried a store bought dehumidifier, but it wasn't enough and the issue persisted. To address the water concerns, they called up John's Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist who found condensation along some of the foundation walls, and confirmed that high humidity was present in this basement. We drafted up a design, and once things were settled, scheduled the installation. 

To begin this project we had to dig a trench around the interior perimeter. Here we laid down WaterGuard drainage, with a TrenchGuard along the exterior entrance that was present in this home. This drainage system grades along to the lowest spot of the basement where we installed a TripleSafe Sump pump. The walls were then given a semi-finished loom with our BrightWall paneling. This is a waterproof material, that will guide moisture from the foundation walls down in the drain system. It is also easy to clean, which was an appealing addition for this crafty space. A SaniDry dehumidifier was then installed to ensure this space is dry and healthy! 

After dealing with a large critter issue in the crawlspace, this home would need their crawlspace taken care of. The old exterior entrance had been chewed on, the vent covers were falling apart, and fiberglass insulation and the old 6 Mil vapor barrier were a mess under the home. They were pointed to John's Waterproofing for a system that could keep the space dry and healthy while deterring critters from coming back. Went sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection and crafted a solution to meet the homes needs. 

To begin, the space was cleared out. With a clean base, the waterproofing could begin. The area had a slope to it, so no drainage system was needed, just a TripleSafe Sump pump in the lowest spot, to dispel water safely away from the homes foundation. TerraBlock insulation was then laid over the dirt floor. The vents were sealed up and CleanSpace was brought in. This 20 Mil vapor barrier has a woven fiber in it that deters critters from chewing through. It is also a bright white color, so should any issues arise, it is easy to spot and address. The exterior entrance was then upgraded to an EverLast doorway system and a SaniDry dehumidifier was brought in. To finish off, spray foam insulation was applied to the foundation walls, both air sealing and insulating the space. 

This homeowner wanted to have their basement finished, and knew that the space had damp spots already. To ensure their new finished space would remain dry and healthy they wanted to have the space waterproofed. They called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection and estimate. At this appointment the issue was identified as hydrostatic pressure. The specialist went over the options with the homeowner and a solution was selected and scheduled for installation. 

To begin work, the crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel and a WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect any water and moisture, and direct it to a low spot where a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to then dispel the water well away from the home. To address the walls, we then installed ThermalDry radiant barriers. This acts as both a vapor barrier and thermal barrier to help keep the basement comfortable year round. A SaniDry dehumidifier was then brought in to keep the spaces humidity levels at a healthy level. The homeowners also really liked our ThermalDry flooring that looked like a gray wood floor, so we then had our finishing crew arrive to install this. This space will now be ready for the homeowners selected contractor to finish the space completely. 

This homes basement was used as general storage with an exterior doorway that walked straight into the backyard, making it a great space to keep yard games and outdoor equipment. However when pulling out some camping gear, they found water on the foundation walls. They knew long term water damage could cause many negative health effects, and wanted to have their home healthy, so they called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection. Afterwards the design specialist talked through their options and benefits to each product we offer. 

To begin work, our installation crew dug a trench along the interior of the basement, this is carefully graded to a low spot in the basement. In this trench we install a bed of gravel, a TrenchGuard by the basement door, and WaterGuard around the rest of the space. BrightWall paneling is then installed along the foundation walls, this will not rot or mold, but will carefully guide water from the walls, into the drainage system. The drains take the collected water to a newly installed SuperSump Plus which then dispels the water safely away from the home. A SaniDry dehumidifier was then installed to keep the humidity levels under control, making this a dry and healthy environment. 

When a crawlspace is open to the elements, it becomes cold, drafty, and the home above will suffer. This homes crawlspace was uninsulated and the vents and exterior entrance were all opened up. The homeowners began looking into their options and knew from their research that they didn't want fiberglass, they wanted a long term solution. So they called up John's Waterproofing, the leading locals for encapsulation. 

After the full inspection, a design was drafted and the homeowners were excited to see their savings once the job was completed! The space was cleaned out, and work began. An UltraSump was installed in the lowest point of the crawlspace, there to handle any groundwater that arose. TerraBlock was laid over the floor to insulate the ground. Each vent was sealed up, and the entrance was upgraded to an EverLast door. CleanSpace was then installed, going under each wooden post, attaching along the foundation walls, and sealing into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam insulation was applied to the foundation walls. This space is now sealed against the outdoor elements, and the homeowners can enjoy savings on their heating and cooling bills! 

This homes attic had been insulated a few years back, but the company that had done it had just installed new insulation over the old insulation, leaving all the accumulated debris in place. When the homeowner went up the the small attic decking to pull down some boxes from storage, they saw that the attic would need to be re-insulated. The insulation had compacted and now sat below the recommended 'r' level that was marked for the homeowners to reference. This year they opted to have John's Waterproofing inspect the space and quote the job. When we discovered that insulation had just been placed over insulation we explained how this traps debris and items, which is bad for the homes overall air quality. To fix the issue we pulled out all of the old insulation and debris. We air sealed around every protrusion in the attic, this will keep the space temperature regulated. New soffits were installed and we then insulated with blown in cellulose. The space is much cozier now and the homeowners say the air smells fresher than it did before. 

When looking under the house, this homeowner saw their old fiberglass insulation was in stripes and falling down. They called up John's Waterproofing to get their crawlspace addressed for insulation. We informed them we do not offer fiberglass since it absorbs moisture and causes many issues, but let them know we have a crawlspace encapsulation we would be happy to discuss. They agreed, and after their inspection, they were happy to move forward. 

Our crew arrived and began removing the old insulation and vapor barrier. Once cleared out, we installed a full drainage system with a SuperSump Plus and sealed off the crawlspace vents. To insulate the floor we laid down TerraBlock insulation. Next we installed CleanSpace, this goes under each wooden post, up to the rim joist, and seals full into place, keeping moisture out of this space. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air quality healthy and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. This space is now dry and healthy, with product warranties to ensure it lasts. 

Pooling water is an easy way to determine that a water issue is present. When the rainy season came along, this basement would have pooling water along the foundation walls. After noticing that this issue was becoming more frequent, and the water spots were growing, the homeowners decided to research solutions. They knew they wanted a long-term approach to this issue, so they scheduled their free inspection with John's Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection, and sat down to discuss options, and products to find a solution for the homeowners needs. 

To solve this issue we began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. We lay in a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drain system. The walls are then covered with BrightWall paneling. This will guide any wall moisture down into the drainage system. From here it is carefully graded down to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump to then be pushed safely away from the homes foundation. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and an Aspen air purifier to keep the air healthy in the basement and the home above. 

A sloped driveway can mean water being guided to your homes garage, such was the case here. And while there was a drain in the garage, that meant water traveled to the drain, and a stream of water would trickle into the garage when rain came along. After living with this issue, and seeing how bad it can get when heavy rains hit, the homeowners were ready for a real solution. They called up John's Waterproofing to receive their free inspection. 

To address the homes water issue we dug a trench on the exterior of the homes garage door. Here we installed our TrenchGuard, this will collect the water and grade it along to a newly installed pipe system to be guided safely away from the homes foundation. The homeowner is happy to have the water stopped before it enters the garage and they no longer get wet feet when getting into their vehicle. 

This homeowner knew they had water under their home, and they wanted to fix it themselves. They went online, watched a few videos and bought a pump from the store, a 5 gallon bucket, and some pipes. They dug a hole, placed the bucket in, the pump in and ran some lines out a vent for the water to go. However, the water dumped next to the home, allowing the water to creep back under the home again instead of being sent away from the home. The pump also only addressed the water immediately around the pump, and small pools of water were still in other spots. The crawlspace smelled damp and that smell was wafting up into the living spaces. They didn't want to have to install a sump pump where each puddle was, so they decided to bring in an expert. 

To begin our work, we pulled out the pump and old vapor barrier. We then dug a trench around the interior perimeter and through the crawlspace. Here we installed a drainage system in a silt sock to collect groundwater and guide it all to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water is pumped out and away from the home, keeping it from re-entering the crawlspace. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation on the dirt floor, and sealed the vents shut. CleanSpace was brought in, going under each wooden post, attaching along the rim joists, and sealing into place. A dehumidifier was installed, and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. The space is now officially waterproof, and the damp odor is no more. 

Damp odors are something that need to be addressed. This homeowner knew there was an off smell and began to search for the origin, leading them to the crawlspace. They crawled in a bit and the smell got stronger, they could see the old vapor barrier was a bit messy, but the foundation walls were damp to the touch, and the water was causing mold to begin growing in the crawlspace. They decided to search online, and ended up setting up a free inspection with John's Waterproofing. In the end, they decided to have a full encapsulation installed to ensure their crawlspace would remain dry and healthy and they wouldn't have to stress about water issues again. 

To begin our work we pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then treated the mold spores that were present. A full drain system was installed to collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest point of the crawlspace where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to send the collected water away from the homes foundation. We then installed TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and we sealed the vents shut. We then used CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier to seal the space, going under the wooden posts and attaching along the rim joist of the foundation. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure condensation wouldn't cause issues, and spray foam was applied to the foundation walls, both air sealing and insulating the space. The homeowners are so happy the odor is gone and they love that they will save on their heating and cooling costs with the new system as well. 

This homes basement had water coming in near the floor and foundation walls. At first the homeowners hadn't thought much about this issue, but they noticed that year after year, the amount of water gathering here was growing. They knew to get the water issue under control, they would need to address it head on. For professional help with this, they called up John's Waterproofing to have their free inspection. 

To begin our work we used a Jackhammer to dig a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid in a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect all water and grade it along to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe Sump pump which will pump the water safely away from the home. To ensure the moisture from the walls makes it down into the new drain system a BrightWall panel system was installed. This will not mold or mildew, and safely guides water down to be addressed. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air healthy. The homeowners are pleased to have the water problem solved and not have to worry about it taking over their basement. 

When walking into the basement, this homeowner found water pooling along the basement floor. They quickly began to pick up items and move things around. They wanted to ensure things wouldn't get water damage. They put a fan in the basement and dried up the water. They hoped that the issue wouldn't come back, but when the rain came back, the water did as well. They decided to call up John's Waterproofing to hear how they could address the water. 

To begin our work, the crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. We then laid in a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the groundwater and grade it down to a TripleSafe sump pump. From there, the water is pumped out and away from the homes foundation. We also installed a WaterGuard wall system to keep any water from the foundation walls moving down into the drainage system. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to address the spaces humidity issues and keep the air dry and healthy. The homeowners were so happy to see that the basement didn't have water pooling in it the next time heavy rains came through. 

The basement had water stains along the foundation walls, and the homeowners wanted to get this issue under control. They searched online and decided to give John's Waterproofing a call and scheduled their in person inspection. We then discussed their options and found the solution that fit their homes needs and their budget. 

To begin this work, our crew dug out an interior perimeter trench. Here we installed a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the groundwater and grade it to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to pump all collected water well away from the homes foundation. We then installed BrightWall paneling along the foundation walls, this will guide water from the foundation walls into the WaterGuard system to be dealt with. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air dry and healthy. 

Water was in the basement, it was leaving water stains and the homeowner was concerned this could lead to water mold. They contacted John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection to see how they could address this. During inspection we found that water was trickling through the foundation walls, predominantly on the sides of the home where the downspouts were location. To solve the homes water issues we would need to address both the downspouts and the basement. 

To begin our crew extended the downspouts into the ground and attached them to a pipe system that diverts the roof water safely away from the homes foundation. This will significantly reduce the external water pressure on the homes foundation. In the basement, we then dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the space. Here we installed a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drain system. This will collect water from the walls and from the ground, grading it along to a TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. To protect the walls, we installed our CleanSpace wall system. This will guide any wall moisture safely to the WaterGuard below. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the spaces air dry and healthy. The homeowner is pleased with how bright and clean the basement is now, and relieved they don't have to stress about water issues here. 

Water in the basement isn't reassuring. This homeowner called us up when they discovered standing water in their basement. They couldn't determine where the water was coming from, so they wanted to bring in the professionals. During our inspection we found the water was coming in through the foundation where the floor met the walls. Over the years water had made it's way through. To protect the home from water issues, we walked the homeowner through our products and warranties, landing on a solution that would keep the basement dry and healthy! 

Our crew began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. Here we laid in a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the water and is graded to guide the water to the lowest point, where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. From there the water is pumped out and away from the homes foundation. For the foundation walls, the homeowners chose out BrightWall panels, providing a semi-finished look for the space. It will not rot, mold, or mildew, but will safely guide wall moisture to the below drainage system. We then installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to keep the humidity levels under control. 

This basement had a nasty odor that was getting worse over the years. The homeowners had tried to clean the space thoroughly but the odor only came back and would be just as strong as before. Eventually, the owners decided to call up John's Waterproofing to see if the could determine the odor. The space had high levels of humidity, and mold spores were even found along the wooden parts of the homes foundation. To address the odor, waterproofing would be needed. 

To begin our work we applied Mold X2 as needed throughout the basement. With the mold addressed, we then needed to waterproof the basement to ensure the mold wouldn't come back. We dug around the perimeter in the basement, laying in a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. This collects groundwater and grades it to the lowest point of the room where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump, which pumps the water safely away from the homes foundation. We installed our CleanSpace Wall system on the walls to guide any moisture from the walls to the new drain system. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the humidity levels are addressed and mold will not come back. 

This homes crawl space was generally clean, the home had been built in the last few years. However, the homeowners knew that neighbors had critter issues. They had seen pest control vans at multiple homes and decided to glance under their home. While they didn't see a major issue, they noted droppings were present and some of the crawl space vents had been chewed on. They didn't want this issue to endure so they called up John's to learn about an encapsulation and how it would deter critters from this space. 

To begin we cleared the area by removing the old vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. Since the home had a natural slope we installed a SuperSump Plus in the low point, allowing gravity to guide any moisture to the pump to be addressed. We then installed TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floors and sealed the vents shut. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is 20 Mil thick with a woven fiber through it, that will deter critters from chewing through it. This goes under each wooden pier, anchors to the walls, and is fully sealed up. We installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and air sealed with spray foam. The space is now ready and critters will be deterred from making their way under this home! 

This new homeowner was in the process of finishing their basement, and once the drywall was installed, they saw water pooling on the floor by the new drywall. The homeowners knew this was a problem and put the project on pause. After searching online, they called up John's Waterproofing to get their free inspection and receive an estimate. 

To begin helping we removed the new drywall. We then installed a full interior perimeter drainage system with out WaterGuard. This will collect groundwater as well as get fed any moisture from the walls. Water moves along the new drainage system to the new SuperSump Plus to be pumped safely out and away from the home. To ensure water is guided safely down the walls we then installed ThermalDry Radiant Vapor Barriers along the walls to create a thermal break and vapor barrier. Our finishing crews then went out and reinstalled drywall to bring the space back to what it was. A SaniDry Dehumidifier was installed and the original contractors are free to continue their work. 

This homeowner had a 6 Mil vapor barrier under their home but while checking some pipes under the home, they saw that the foundation walls had condensation on them. They went to investigate and saw that the wooden beams near this section of the crawl space were also damp. Knowing prolonged water damage could cause costly damage to their home, they called up John's Waterproofing to hear about options for the home. In the end the homeowners chose to encapsulate and ensure the home would stay dry and healthy. 

To begin this job, we cleared the space of the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a SuperSump Plus to collect groundwater and send it safely away from the homes foundation. Next TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor and the vents were sealed shut. We then installed our CleanSpace throughout, going under the wooden posts, attaching to the rim joist, and fully sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and as a final step we air sealed the area to deter critters from creeping into this space.
