Before & After Photos

This homes heating and cooling costs had been rising over the years. The owners first thought this was due to the cost of living going up. But after chatting with some neighbors, they learned theirs was going up more than others. To search for ways to lower their energy costs, they glanced into the crawl space. They discovered the old fiberglass insulation was drooping and pieces were laying on the ground, soggy with water. To remedy this problem, they contacted John's Waterproofing so they could learn about encapsulation. This process uses insulation which is made to last in the crawl space. We use TerraBlock along the dirt floor and apply spray foam along the foundation walls. These insulate the crawl space, bringing it into the homes envelope and reducing the homes energy costs. 

This crawlspace was dirty, musty and full of stagnant wet air. Our team came in and removed the debris from the crawlspace, provided appropriate drainage and completed the system with our patented SaniDry dehumidifier. Now the air in the home is cleaner and healthier and the crawlspace is safe from mold and rot. Next week this crawlspace will receive spray foam insulation to better regulate the homes temperatures and increase energy efficiency throughout the home. 

This homes crawl space emitted a foul odor that was wafting throughout the living spaces above. The owners were noticing that they were getting sick more often and wanted to find a way to make their home healthier. For a full solution for their home, they contacted John's Waterproofing and scheduled a free inspection. They wanted to get a solution that would last, and they were excited about the idea of encapsulation. This allows the space to be controlled and regulated. The relative humidity was kept at a healthy level and the space was sealed against exterior factors, keeping the air that travels from the crawl space up, healthier for the occupants of the home. 

With indoor allergens, this homeowner was concerned about their indoor air quality. They ended up hearing how the crawl space could negatively impact the living spaces air quality, so they figured it wouldn't hurt to have a free inspection for their crawl space so they could see what was going on down there. To improve their homes breathable air, they moved forward with a full encapsulation to keep their home healthier! 

A tall crawl space can be a wonderful storage space, and this homeowner was fully using the area. However, they noticed that the space was damp and some of the items boxes were exhibiting signs of water damage. Wanting to continue using the space as they wish, they knew they would have to find a way to keep this are dry. For this, they contacted John's Waterproofing to learn about encapsulation. The owners loved that the encapsulation seals the crawl space away from exterior factors. We also use a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier in our encapsulations, this has a 25 year warranty against rips and tears, making it very useful for crawl space storage. The woven fibers through this also make it helpful in deterring critters from coming into the space.  The owners were excited to get a full crawl space upgrade!
