Before & After Photos

When you get a crawl space encapsulation system we make sure that the products we use can withstand the test of time. With traditional fiberglass insulation, it is recommended to replace every 5-6 years. However, our spray foam insulation lasts the life of the home. Spray foam insulation really keeps your heating and cooling bills down and with encapsulation, it makes a huge difference in temperature control in your home. The homeowner was so happy with his crawl space job and how open and airy it was in there. 

In the midst of a large mold remediation project, this homeowner knew they wanted to prevent any further mold issues from occurring. At the recommendation of their mold remediator, they called up John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation. 

One of the biggest steps of the encapsulation process is removing all the damaged fiberglass insulation. This can become an issue because once the insulation absorbs the moisture in the air, it increases the exposure to mold and mildew growth. Additionally, once the insulation gets to this point and is sagging from the sub-floor it isn't adding any benefits for the home in controlling heat loss. In fact, it actually makes the home less energy efficient and cost homeowners more in energy bills. By encapsulating the crawl space and adding TerraBlock insulation, it helps improve your homes health by sealing off the earth beneath. TerraBlock is a 3/4 inch thick foam that is cut to perfectly fit each individual crawl space and create a barrier from the outside. This reduces heat loss by keeping the crawl space around the same temperature year round and the heating/cooling systems don't have to work as hard to keep up. Overall, the insulation installation involved when encapsulating the crawl space helps to promote healthier environments from the foundation to the living spaces.

This home had no vapor barrier under the home and some water intrusion issues, we solved these issues by encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace. Keeping this crawl space dry and energy efficient for years to come.

This homeowner was renovating their home and discovered their crawlspace in disrepair. To address it, they researched only and opted to move forward with a crawlspace encapsulation.
