The customer had us come out in 2015 for an inspection. We had found water, but she wanted to do more research and get other companies opinions on encapsulation. Three years down the road and she decided she was ready to get her crawlspace encapsulated. And was left pleasantly surprised by how fast the job was finished along with the finished looks.
This crawlspace had a sump pump that was not working and had standingwater and debris. Our crew came out and removed the old pump and all of the debris. Installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which can remove up to 95 pints of water per day and installed a SuperSump Plus and an Ultra Sump sump pump. This customer no longer hs to worry about moisture or mold.
This home was built on a hillside and the slope carried water where it would puddle in the low spot. To address the issues properly, the homeowner wanted to have a full encapsulation.
After years of water entering the crawl space, tons of dirt and debris had been brought in from the outside. This is a problem because over time water evaporates into the air and leaves that outside sediment behind on the vapor barrier. Sometimes rocks and large objects can even slip through which can cause rips and tears in the liner. At John's Waterproofing, we are able to solve this problem by encapsulating the space. This is the process of closing the crawl space off from the outside and controlling the environment so it isn't exposed to harsh weather conditions. This involves installing a drainage system with a perforated pipe and a SuperSump Plus sump pump. Also, we install TerraBlock insulation foam and a new CleanSpace vapor barrier. These help seal the earth off from the crawl space floor and prevent water from being able to seep through again. A SaniDry dehumidifier helps with air filtration and Spray Foam completely air sealing the space. Once the encapsulation is completed, it leaves the crawl space brand new and cleaned up so that homeowners don't have to worry about water damage in the future.
The customer found us on our website to have their crawl space encapsulated due to not having any form of protection.
