Before & After Photos

New homeowners realized their home didnt have waterproofing installed in the basement before it was finished. To protect their investment, they asked John's Waterproofing to come out and pre-emtivly install a waterproofing system before the home could get damaged. 

While we had to redo some of the basement to get it sealed up, we were happy to waterproof and re-finish the basement.

The wooden posts in the crawl space are designed to provide support to the floors of the home. Without the wooden posts in the best condition, this can cause homes to settle and the floors to sag. Once the structural damage occurs, this is when homeowners tend to notice that the doors won't shut properly and the foundation can collapse. For this homeowner, they started noticing those structural issues in their home with slants along their floors and wanted John's Waterproofing to come and level out the posts. Upon inspection, we found that they had experienced a lot of water damage, which was causing them to rot and mold. The discoloration and pattern distortion are indicators on the posts where water absorbed into. The white marks at the base of the post is also known as efflorescence. This is a salt mineral deposit that gets left behind on posts or walls after water seeps through. In order to fix this issue, we informed the homeowner about SmartJacks. These are steel adjustable piers that help to stabilize the homes foundation where it is needed. They can re-level the floors and offer proper support to prevent settling. With the new SmartJacks installed, this homeowner feels safer knowing their home is protected.

This homes entryway had a small landing outside their door which rested upon a larger slab. The owners found this uncomfortable and had caused people to stumble and trip. In order to improve the appearance and safety of this, our Design Specialist recommended to the homeowner that we enlarge the step by pouring concrete around it to create a more comfortable space. The new step will be flush with the foundation wall, and extend outward towards the lower step. The homeowner approved of our recommended solution, and we got her on our schedule quickly. When our crew of concrete experts arrived, we began by building wooden forms, and placing rebar to offer structural support to the enlarged step. Next, we poured and finished the concrete with a broom. After it was dry, we removed the forms - revealing a beautiful and large new front step. The homeowner was pleased with our work, and happy to have both a better looking and less dangerous front entrance into her home!
