Before & After Photos

Fiberglass insulation was not manufactured to be open to the elements. Because of this, it doesn't uphold in a crawl space. The material will absorb moisture out of the air and this causes it to droop away from the subfloor, negating its insulation value. As water rests in it, this leads to mold and mildew which is held up against the underside of the home and it is an appealing material for rodents to use for bedding. This homeowner had gotten tired of having to replace the fiberglass and they wanted a solution that would actually last for them. This is how they ended up online learning about encapsulation. This system uses insulation which is made to last in the crawl space. Along the floor we install our TerraBlock insulation and along the foundation walls we apply spray foam insulation. These two types of insulation will not rot or mildew, but will actually help to keep your home dry and healthy, while lowering the homes heating and cooling costs. 

This home had fiberglass installed in the crawl space. Knowing that is was meant to be sealed in, the installers had attached a material to help hold it in place. However, moisture was still getting in. And critters got in, pulling out batches of the fiberglass and making a general mess in this space. To get the crawl space properly insulated, we put in a full encapsulation. 

This homes crawl space had been stripped bare. No vapor barrier and now insulation. But the humidity levels were causing some issues, and the owners contacted John's Waterproofing about solutions. We sent out a design specialist who did a full crawl under the home and than began discussing options. After going over the differences between the standard fiberglass insulation and our encapsulation, which uses insulation made for the crawl space, the owners were eager to do the long term solution and have their space encapsulated. We installed a full interior drain system with a sump pump. We than laid down DrainMatt, TerraBlock insulation, and CleanSpace. The Walls were insulated and air sealed with spray foam, and we completed the job by installing a SaniDry dehumidifier. Now the space is set up to be properly insulated and remain dry and healthy. 

This homeowner had experienced power outages in the past due to extreme weather and wanted to find a solution to keep their entire home up and running no matter what. They reached out to John's Waterproofing about the benefits of having an all home generator and decided it was the perfect solution to their problems. The Cummins Whole Home Standby Generator is designed to be able to power your entire home in the case of an outage, while also remaining quiet and neighborhood friendly. Some features it includes is a built in remote powering and load management so that homeowners don't have to worry about being home for it to start and run the appropriate amount of power needed for your home. This is installed and connected to the homes by our in-house electricians. Our plumbing department even attaches it to the plumbing lines to be able to function every aspect of you home. After the Cummins Home Standby Generator is installed, this homeowner is prepared for any unexpected power outages.

Post protection is also very important when encapsulating a crawl space. Each post gets isolated and wrapped in the CleanSpace material ensuring that the entire crawl space stays clean and dry. Safe from any possible exposure to water damage. We take care of the health of your entire crawl space making clean air entering your home possible.
