This very large space created cold drafts into the house and cold wood floors throughout the year. Our crew removed the old torn black plastic from the floor and encapsulated the space.
Homeowner says,
“A very positive experience! Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The contractors were punctual, work was completed professionally, and they cleaned up after themselves. What used to be a wet and musty crawl space is now a dry, clean space after their careful work and installation of a sump pump. They also offered a discount for paying on completion! John's Waterproofing comes highly recommended by this customer; I have already referred them to friends!”
This Portland homeowner was using his crawlspace as storage and where his water heater was installed. He had water leaking and it was ruining his belongings that were stored down there. With water in the crawlspace over time, his posts started to rot and he noticed soft spots on the floor. He gave us a call and our crew came out and encapsulated his crawlspace and put in new posts. He now has more storage than ever before and doesn't have to worry about his belongings being destroyed.
There is nothing more frustrating than when you're selling your home and find out your crawl space needs attention. This homeowner had their realtor call us for an inspection and job to be done in a timely manner. The crawl space was wet and the vapor barrier was a mess. We came out cleaned out all the debris and put in a new vapor barrier. This homeowner was relived and sold their home in no time.
Our jobs are primarily repairing older homes from water damage, but more and more often we are doing work on new homes. As we are educating more construction professionals as to why basements and crawlspaces leak, they are calling us out for new construction. This work prevents problems from happening.
This customer found a big mess in their crawlspace with falling insulation, water, rodent infestation and mold. To address the issue we installed a full encapsulation.
