Before & After Photos

Wet crawl spaces can often go unnoticed until issues such as musty smells, rodent activity, and high humidity start affecting the living area above. These homeowners were experiencing all of these issues and decided to give us a call to come find them a proper solution. We sent out a design specialist and he thoroughly inspected this crawl space and worked with the homeowners to craft the best plan, ensuring the problems in this crawl space are properly addressed.

We begin this project by removing all of the debris, fiberglass insulation and the old damaged vapor barrier. Afterwards, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space, in which we place a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for water to drain to the lowest point. At this low point we install our TripleSafe Sump system that will collect the water that enters and pump it outside of the home through a discharge line. In the crawl space, we make sure that all of the vents are covered and sealed shut to prevent outside air from entering. Next, we install our TerraBlock system. This is 3/4th inch ground insulation that is designed to be installed on dirt floors and will help block moisture from making its way up. Our CleanSpace system is then placed on top of the TerraBlock and also anchored into the foundation walls. This is our 20 mil thick barrier that will not only brighten up this crawl space but will keep it protected from water intrusion, rodents, mold, humidity and more. During this project we made sure to create exterior access into the crawl space, so we install our EverLast door. To then keep the humidity controlled, we install our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. Finally to finish this project, we anchor our SilverGlo wall system into the foundation walls to raise the R-value and help insulate the home. Now that this crawl space is encapsulated, these homeowners can have peace of mind that their home is protected for years to come. 

This customer had standing water in their crawlspace due to a certain area not draining to the sump pump correctly and causing damage to the vapor barrier. We went in and installed a new pipe to help drain the water to the sump pump. Along with a new vapor barrier for a clean and dry crawlspace.

This homes crawlspace had standing water, and the homeowners wanted a solution to protect their home. After a full inspection and going over their options and the benefits, they opted to have a full encapsulation installed! 

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.
