Before & After Photos

This homeowner had just purchased her home and noticed after recent rain there were water spots in her crawl space. The old vapor barrier was in poor shape and the prior homeowner left a bunch of cement rock and dust all over. She called us to come to clean it up knowing the water would not stop magically on its own. Our crew went and cleaned all the debris out and the old vapor barrier while also installing a sump pump to help drain the water. We put in a new 6 mil vapor barrier and now her crawl space is completely covered. The homeowner was happy to have a dry and clean crawl space for her to enjoy her new home. 

After experiencing years of water intrusion in the crawl space, this homeowner started noticing a musky odor in their home. They decided to inspect the crawl space and found that the fiberglass insulation was completely destroyed from moisture damage. It was falling from the sub-floor and beginning to mold and mildew. They decided to call John's Waterproofing about a solution for their insulation. We informed the homeowners that when we do full encapsulations, TerraBlock gets installed. This is a 3/4 inch thick insulation foam that goes along the base of the space. It is designed to seal the earth off from the home and help regulate the environment. By keeping the temperature in the crawl space the same, this helps with energy efficiency because the heating/cooling systems don't have to work as hard to keep up with the changing outdoor climate. TerraBlock gets cut to perfectly fit each individual crawl space, therefore it can avoid having gaps or holes for water to intrude through. The TerraBlock is then covered over with CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that anchors along the walls by the rim joist. Overall, this homeowner was very pleased with their new insulation and cleaning up the crawl space to rid the smell in their home.

We replaced this old sump pump that was not working properly with our Supersump Sump pump. with this top of the line sumppump working properly, along with The Cleanspace Encapsulation and the Sanidry Dehumidifier, this crawlspace/basement combination will now stay dry. 

Water was coming into the crawl space, and standing in the low spot. Stagnant water can led to issues, and to be proactive, John's Waterproofing was called in. To make improve the space we would install a pipe, pump, plastic. A full interior drain system was installed. This will collect the groundwater, channeling it to the lowest point in the crawl space. From here the water goes into a TripleSafe sump pump and is directed away from the homes foundation. We than lay down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, which we overlap the edges on and run up the walls and anchor. Now this space is protected against stagnant water. 

These homeowners were noticing some parts of their floors were sagging and they were smelling musty odors in the home. They reached out to John's Waterproofing to schedule a free estimate and inspection. One of our knowledgeable design specialists went and spoke with these homeowners about what options would solve these issues and decided to move forward with the project. We begin this project by removing all of the debris. Next, we install our SmartJack system. These are our high-capacity adjustable supplemental steel piers designed to stop settling and raise the floor up and offer support. Then, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space and lay down a perforated pipe into a silt sock, creating a secure passage for water to drain to the TripleSafe Sump pump at the lowest point in the crawl space. We then install our TerraBlock system directly on the dirt floor of the crawl space. This creates an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. On top of the TerraBlock, we install our CleanSpace system. This goes all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and seals at the footing of the wooden posts with waterproof tape. With the vibrant white finish of the CleanSpace, the space feels brighter and the homeowner will be able to easily see there is no mold, pests or dirt. All the vents in this space are sealed shut to prevent outside air from entering. To control the environment, we then install our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the space all while keeping the home at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly, we install our foam insulation. This is sprayed all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and fills every crack and void effectively insulating the space, this form of insulation ensures an airtight seal, and complete protection for years to come.
