Before & After Photos

This homes crawl space was not in the best condition. The old fiberglass was drooping and smelled bad. The below vapor barrier had debris over it and had a few puddles littered across it, adding to the damp odor of the space. To get the area into good shape and protect it against water damage, the owners decided they would like a full encapsulation. We removed the old vapor barrier, debris, and fiberglass. We then installed a drain system and sump pump to address the groundwater issue. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor and CleanSpace installed over the top of this. We than installed a SaniDry dehumidifier which will keep the spaces relative humidity at a healthy range. To finish we applied spray foam insulation along the foundation walls. Now this crawl space will remain dry and healthy all year round. 

Standing water in the crawl space is an overt way to identify that a water problem is present in the crawl space. This owner contacted John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection to see what was happening in the crawl space and how they could solve the issues. For full protection we suggested a full encapsulation. This system begins with a full drain system and sump pump. These will work together to ensure groundwater is channeled and pumped safely away from the homes foundation. Next we layer TerraBlock and CleanSpace along the floor. This will insulate and seal the space from exterior elements, each vent in the space sealed as well. A SaniDry dehumidifier addresses the spaces relative humidity and spray foam is applied along the foundation walls to air seal and complete the insulation process. 

This homeowner had a previous company come and install a sump pump in their crawl space. It began overfilling, unable to control the passage of water, and the crawl space started to flood. They called John's Waterproofing about getting their sump pump replaced and finding a long-term option for keeping water out of the crawl space. We informed them about our TripleSafe sump pump being the perfect solution to their problem. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three-pump system designed to be able to safely collect gallons of water and push it out and away from the homes foundation. We install it in a 22 in. deep trench at the lowest point in the crawl space so that water collected from a perforated pipe can be securely guided to the sump pump. The pipe goes inside the container bin to ensure the water gets exactly where the pump needs it to be. The first pump is a high quality 1/3 hp Zoeller pump that has a sensor so whenever water gets to a certain point, it knows to begin sending it out through the discharge line. The second pump is a 1/2 hp Zoeller pump that's set higher in the sump hold. It turns on in the event that the first pump can't keep up with the high volume of water. This is one reason for how our sump pumps differ from others, because there are two pumps which work together to ensure no water gets back into the crawl space. The final pump is a battery operated pump in case of a power outage. Ensuring that no matter the circumstance, your sump pump will be able to still pump water out. We also schedule annual maintenance checks on our TripleSafe sump pumps so that homeowners feel comfortable that it won't fail. Overall, at John's Waterproofing we want to keep crawl spaces as dry and healthy as possible and that begins with a proper way to dispel the water.

This homeowner contacted us when they noticed that their crawl space had water in it. When heavy rains hit, puddles of water would be found over top of their 6 Mil vapor barrier. The owners of the home were concerned about the negative effects this would have on their home so they contacted John's Waterproofing to discuss options for their home. After a full inspection we sat with the owner and worked on a repair plan, ultimately moving forward with a full encapsulation. This system will seal the crawl space off from the exterior elements, allowing the space to become more energy efficient and remain dry and healthy over the years.  

This cabin was a vacation spot for the owners. And they had noted that over the past few years the living spaces were beginning to smell mustier and damper. The owners opened up the exterior entryway and could see the fiberglass insulation was drooping, and the vapor barrier was riddled with debris and droppings. Since the owners wanted this space to be out of site out of mind, they figured they should upgrade the space so it could remain healthy, even when they weren't around. To provide a solution we did a full encapsulation. This includes installing a drainage system and sump pump to address standing water. We then insulated the floor with TerraBlock. We installed out CleanSpace, and sealed the vents all shut. A SaniDry dehumidifier will keep the relative humidity controlled and we installed spray foam along the foundation walls. Now the owners can enjoy knowing their cabin is dry, stable, and healthy.
