Before & After Photos

This homeowner reached out to John's Waterproofing due to strong odors coming from the crawl space as well as rodents and pests intrusion. They scheduled their free visit and we went out to thoroughly inspect the crawl space and address all of the problems. We then met with the homeowner to go over all of the findings and discuss the best way to properly address the issues found. After going over options and creating a plan, they decided an encapsulation was the best way to permanently solve the issues. Encapsulation offers improved air quality in the home, prevention of mold and mildew and deters both pests and rodents.

We begin this project by removing all of the debris, fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. We dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the space in which we place a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for all the water to drain to the lowest point. Then, at this low point we installed our SuperSump Plus which collects all of this water and pumps it outside of the home via gravity. We make sure to cover and seal the vents to prevent outside elements and pests from entering.  Then we install our TerraBlock system on the dirt floor of the crawl space, creating an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. Over top of this entire system, we place our 20 mil vapor barrier, CleanSpace, which is anchored into the foundation walls and placed below each wooden post to protect the wood from moisture. We seal this down with our heavy duty CleanSpace tape. To keep the environment controlled we install our SaniDry Sedona that will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors in the home by drying and filtering the air and will keep the home at a healthy relative humidity. Finally this project is completed by installing our foam insulation. This foam is sprayed onto the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and expands, filling every crack and void to ensure the ultimate airtight seal. Now that this crawl space is fully encapsulated, it is protected for years to come and these homeowners can have peace of mind knowing that their crawl space is now dry, healthy and stable. 

For your crawlspace to be up to code you need a vapor barrier laid down in the crawlspace to help protect your home from gases and water vapors. These barriers often get dirty and torn up, they need to then be replaced. We clean up the crawlspace and laid down a new intact 6 mil vapor barrier.

This home had critters creeping under the home. To stop this issue they had an exterminator come by, followed up by John's Waterproofing to install our woven 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. 

After dealing with fiberglass insulation in the crawl space this homeowner was over it. Every few years it needed to be either changed out or tied up again and mold would have to be dealt with. Since the spaces environment didn't change, the mold just kept returning. This homeowner was ready to try something new, and called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection. In the end the warranties on the products and installation gave this homeowner the confidence to get a full encapsulation! They are pleased with how nice the space looks and look forward to testing how it holds up! 

Customer called concerned about their crawlspace because there was standing water. Our crew went in and installed a discharge line, Smart Sump, and new vapor barrier so they don't have to worry about their crawl space.
