Before & After Photos

After years of having to get the fiberglass insulation re-stapled up in their crawlspace, these homeowners were ready for a solution that made sense. They asked around and heard about Johns Crawlspace Encapsulation. After doing some research and meeting with a seasoned design specialist they were ready to move ahead! They enjoy how bright their crawlspace is, and are excited that it will truly insulate their homes foundation, effectively lowering their energy bills. 

This homeowner knew that fiberglass absorbed water if left open to the elements. Trying to get around this, they attached a vapor barrier to the underside of their home, encasing the insulation. However water vapors still got in, and caused a mold issue. After having a mold company out, they were pointed to John's Waterproofing to keep the space dry and healthy with an encapsulation. 

This home's crawlspaces old vapor barrier was not installed properly and the water had been pooling under it, on it, and the moisture was being absorbed by the old fiberglass insulation. This passageway under the home had the old wooden frame rotting under the vapor barrier. To address this waterproofing issue we installed our dimpled drainage matting, insulated it with TerraBlock, and then sealed it all in with Cleanspace. The after photo here is from the work-in-progress stage, showing the layers that go into this encapsulation. 

This homes crawlspace had fallen to disrepair. They had to have pest control out to rid the space of critters and were referred to John's for the best preventative work; encapsulation. We cleaned out the space and brought in the material to have this space dry and healthy. 

When critters find a way into the crawl space, the air quality in your home suffers. This homes living spaces smelled of rodent droppings and the smell wafted into the home from the HVAC system which ran under the home. Wanting to actually rid the home of the issue and deter critters from making their way under the home again, they called and wanted to learn about encapsulation. they are happy to hear how the CleanSpace has a woven fiber, difficult for rodents to crew through, and the system will air seal the space to keep critters away.
