Before & After Photos

These homeowners got an inspection done by John's Waterproofing and our Design Specialist broke the news to them about what they found inside their crawl space. The existing vapor barrier was torn, exposing the earth, dirt was everywhere, and letting moisture seep into the crawl space. The owners and the Design Specialist came up with a plan to solve these issues. 

The scheduled day came and so did our crew, ready to make the repairs. First they began with removing all dirt, debris, and the non functional vapor barrier. They proceeded with the pipe, pump, plastic system to restore the state of the crawl space. Starting with the pipe. A perforated pipe was installed around the perimeter of the interior, collecting water that will lead to the lowest point of the crawl space, where the SuperSump Plus is stationed. This is a sump pump that will gather the water into the container and pump it through the attached discharge line to release the water safely away from the home. Lastly, they lay down a new vapor barrier, the 6 Mil black plastic. This clean plastic will keep moisture out of the crawl space and provide a fresh look without dirt and debris. Now that the crawl space is waterproofed and pristine, the owners are happy with their safe, dry, and clean home!

John's Waterproofing came to this home in Fall Creek to make it healthy and energy efficient. Our solution for this crawlspace was our CleanSpace encapsulation system. This 20-mil thick vapor barrier significantly outperforms the easy to tear 6-mil liners that are commonly used as vapor barriers. CleanSpace can slow or block harmful gasses such as radon and protects the home from dust and allergens while also waterproofing the crawlspace. It acts as an insulation barrier as well and makes a difference of 10 degrees compared to common vapor barriers.

This homes crawlspace had a critter issue. The homeowners had to stock and clean out mouse traps. After doing this for a short while, they wanted a long term solution so the critters would be deterred and they wouldn't have to worry about the smell of dead rodents. After some searching online, they opted to look into a crawlspace encapsulation. After a thorough inspection, the homeowners were ready to move forward. This are thrilled with how fresh and clean their crawlspace is, and are excited to no longer have to stress over rodent issues.  

Stagnant water in the crawl space causes issues for the home. This home had large puddles of water on top of their 6 mil vapor barrier, and the crawl space had very high levels of humidity which had to lead to mold being a common issue for the space. Once water is trapped on top of the vapor barrier, the only place for it to go is to wait until it evaporates, enters the air and then it can affect the wooden subfloor of the home. To better protect the home, John's Waterproofing was called in. While the owners were not ready to fully encapsulate the crawl space, they did know taking a step in the right direction was progress. They had us spot treat the space for mold and than install a pipe, pump, and plastic system. This system contains a full interior perimeter system which collects groundwater and channels it to a sump pump in the low point. This than ensures that water is diverted away from the home and it doesn't just end up on the vapor barrier. 

This crawlspace entrance had cracks and was allowing water to enter under the home. We updated it to an EverLast Access Well with an EverLast doorway to keep water out and protect the homes foundation.
