Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

This home's owners had done a DIY sump pump and laid out their own vapor barrier, however, it wasn't keeping up with the groundwater around their home, and vermin were getting into the space still. To take back their crawlspace, the homeowners got a full crawlspace encapsulation, keeping this home dry and healthy. 

In 2017 this homeowners called to schedule their inspection and hear about a crawlspace encapsulation. They moved forward with this home project and have been on top of their annual service visits to ensure their system remains in tip-top shape. This space is still looking amazing and working exactly as it should! 

This homeowner had installed a homemade sump pump in their crawlspace. While it did handle some of the water issues, the dirt floor was still damp and wet when the rainy season was in full effect. To make sure they could keep up with the water issue, they called for the professionals. 

This home was having water coming through the hillside walls on their basement. To address this, they called up John's Waterproofing. We waterproofed along the walls using our WaterGuard Drainage System, installed a TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry dehumidifier, and ThermalDry Radiant Wall system so they could finish over the walls. 

After purchasing this home a few years back, they began to smell a damp wood odor throughout their home. They ended up discovering 2-3 inches of water were pooled in their crawl space. They knew that this could cause long term damage to their home and their health if left unattended. So they decided to call upon John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection. During this, the design specialist did a full crawl under the home through the water. Then, working with the homeowner, a solution was crafted. To address the major water issue we would install a full encapsulation. This involved removing the old vapor barrier and insulation. We then dried out the space, and began installing a drain system with a sump pump. The vents were all sealed shut and we laid TerraBlock over the dirt floor. CleanSpace was than wrapped throughout, going under each wooden post, anchored to the foundation walls and sealed fully into place. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the spaces relative humidity at a healthy level and finished up with Spray Foam insulation along the foundation walls.
