Before & After Photos

This homeowner had purchased the house only a year ago, and rats became occupants of their crawlspace. They had a pest company help them get rid of the issue, but now they needed a solution to keep them away. They contacted John's Waterproofing for a long-term solution and were ready to move forward with a full encapsulation. 

Fiberglass absorbs any moisture from the air, and the ruins the insulation value. This homeowner thought fiberglass was their only option and had been having it replaced and reattached in the crawlspace, but figured their had to be a better way that would last. After searching online, they read up about encapsulation and gave John's Waterproofing a call. We cleared out the crawlspace of the old insulation and fiberglass and installed a full encapsulation. The homeowners are thrilled to see savings on their heating bills already!

This fiberglass insulation was wet and heavy from condensation, leaving the home with high energy bills. To help the homeowners take back control of their homes' temperatures we did a full crawlspace encapsulation with insulation solutions made for crawlspaces. 

This homeowner knew their vapor barrier was getting pushed around by water. They tried to stop this by placing rocks over the vapor barrier, thinking the vapor barrier would stop falling out of place. However this just allowed the water to more easily pool on-top of the barrier. To find a solution to the crawlspace issues, they chose to have John's do a full encapsulation. 

This Crawlspace was full of water and mud when our crew started. But after our crew worked hard for hours in what most people would consider harsh conditions, drying out the crawlspace, cleaning it, encapsulating, installing sump pumps and a dehumidifier, hanging back up fallen ducts and insulation and then cleaning up again, they were finally able to make this Clackamas Crawlspace clean and dry!
