Before & After Photos

New homeowners realized their home didnt have waterproofing installed in the basement before it was finished. To protect their investment, they asked John's Waterproofing to come out and pre-emtivly install a waterproofing system before the home could get damaged. 

While we had to redo some of the basement to get it sealed up, we were happy to waterproof and re-finish the basement.

The wooden posts in the crawl space are designed to provide support to the floors of the home. Without the wooden posts in the best condition, this can cause homes to settle and the floors to sag. Once the structural damage occurs, this is when homeowners tend to notice that the doors won't shut properly and the foundation can collapse. For this homeowner, they started noticing those structural issues in their home with slants along their floors and wanted John's Waterproofing to come and level out the posts. Upon inspection, we found that they had experienced a lot of water damage, which was causing them to rot and mold. The discoloration and pattern distortion are indicators on the posts where water absorbed into. The white marks at the base of the post is also known as efflorescence. This is a salt mineral deposit that gets left behind on posts or walls after water seeps through. In order to fix this issue, we informed the homeowner about SmartJacks. These are steel adjustable piers that help to stabilize the homes foundation where it is needed. They can re-level the floors and offer proper support to prevent settling. With the new SmartJacks installed, this homeowner feels safer knowing their home is protected.

This homeowner found some concerns with the support in their home and decided to inspect their crawl space. In certain areas, doors weren't closing properly and the floor felt like it was sagging. This was occurring due to the the wooden posts in the crawl space being water damaged and deteriorating. Once the wooden posts absorb moisture, they begin to rot and mold. This makes them unstable and unable to properly support the home. At John's Waterproofing, we are able to fix this issue with SmartJacks. These are steel adjustable piers designed to stabilize the home in areas where the wooden posts no longer can. They are made of materials that won't rot or grow mold, which helps make them durable during any situation. Each year they can also be adjusted to ensure the home is staying steady and supported. Now, this homeowner feels much safer in their home knowing that the foundation is supported and secure. 

This homeowner noticed that the floors in their living room were beginning to sag. In certain spots, the floors even felt bouncy when you walked on them like the house was settling into the soil. Knowing that this was an older home and the soil had changed, the homeowner decided to call John's Waterproofing about our foundation repair solutions. For this home, we recommended installing 5 Push Piers along the foundation of the home to raise the house and keep it stabilized. These piers are driven into the ground using a hydraulic ram and uses the weight of the structure to help add more support. By installing these steel Push Piers, this offers the homeowners a permanent solution to their homes settling foundation.
