This home had a history of water issues. They had done a big structural repair a few years back to replace the damaged wooden beams and posts in the crawl space. Now that a few years had passed, they were ready for their next crawl space investment, a system built to prevent water damage from occurring. For this, they called up John's Waterproofing to get a full encapsulation!
These homeowners had us go out for a free visit since they were having issues in their crawl space. One of their main concerns was their exterior access since they noticed it was one of the big reasons rodents, pests and moisture were entering. We went out and thoroughly inspected this crawl space, then met with the homeowners and they decided that a full encapsulation was the best choice for them. This encapsulation included removing all of the debris, digging a trench and installing a sump pump at the lowest point with a discharge line to pump the water out of the home. Our ground insulation, TerraBlock for the dirt floor was then installed and our CleanSpace 20 mil liner on top and anchored along the foundation walls. Then, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to control the environment and keeping it at a healthy relative humidity. For insulation along the foundation walls we install Spray Foam. Since these homeowners wanted to a solution to their exterior access, we installed our EverLast Door. This airtight crawl space access will seal off outside air, and will last in all weather conditions while looking good for years to come. Leaky crawl space access doors let in cold air in the winter and humid air in the summer, causing high levels of humidity that will only cause damage in the crawl space. Wooden access doors rot and warp and are difficult to keep in a damp environment. Our EverLast Crawl Space door will keep outside air out, will never need paint and will never rust or rot. This solution will guarantee the homeowners peace of mind.
Due to excessive moisture this foundation support is cracking and giving way. Thankfully our team was there to replace it with a SmartJack so a sinking home will not be a worry for them.
Although we recommend a full encapsulation system this vapor barrier replacement still looks pretty good and will help a home be sale ready.
This customer called because spiders and other insects were getting into his crawlspace. So we sent out our inspector and they recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier will keep his crawlspace dry and humidity down. Now having a CleanSpace encapsulation he will never have to worry about water or insects again.
This homeowner called because anytime we got any amount of rain the crawl space would puddle up with water and between the water and mud the black plastic vapor barrier was crumbling and being of no use. They called to have an inspector come out and do a free inspection. The inspector found water damage, mud, debris, and puddles in the crawlspace. Our crew cleaned out the crawlspace and did a crawl space encapsulation. We used a 20 mils thick woven fiber vapor barrier called CleanSpace along with a smart drain. That next rainy season, they called to thank us since they didn't have any water in the crawlspace, it stayed completely dry. They were so glad to have a healthy crawlspace.
