Before & After Photos

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. 

Moisture can cause a lot of damage to the home, especially if left unattended for years, This home would need to be treated for mold, and than we were able to come in to waterproof so we could keep the space dry and healthy. To care for the home, we installed a full encapsulation. This system involves a full interior perimeter drain system, with a TripleSafe sump pump. We also insulate the space using methods that are made to last and fit into the crawl space. This involves TerraBlock along the dirt floor, paired with Spray Foam insulation along the foundation walls and into the rim joists. We also seal the vents shut so we can control the space. CleanSpace is wrapped throughout the crawl space, allowing us to than control the environment under the home with a SaniDry dehumidifier. With control over the moisture content, we can make it so mold and mildew will not find a way back under the home, and it can truly remain dry and healthy over the years. 

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.

This customer in Hood River, Oregon had moisture and rodent activity in his crawl space. One major reason is there was no vent cover to the outside access which made it an easy place for animals and water to get in. Here are good pictures of how important it is to have well working vent covers.
