Before & After Photos

This crawlspace had flooding issues occur, and left water stains and mineral deposits across the old 6 Mil vapor barrier. The homeowners could tell that water was an issue, and they would need some professional help. They called up John's and scheduled their inspection. After they spoke with the design specialist, the homeowners chose to move forward with a full encapsulation. 

A large crawl space in Clatskanie had yet to see better days. When a call came into John's Waterproofing, our crew was ready to make that happen. A design specialist came out to the home to inspect what was going on. Fiberglass insulation fell onto the ground, trash piled up, dirt and debris covered the space, and the worst part: standing water. After devising a plan alongside the homeowners, we got right to work. 

First things first, all bits of debris were cleared out of the crawl space. Once a clean slate was made, a trench was dug along the interior perimeter of the crawl space, allowing room for a Perf Pipe to be installed. This drainage system, wrapped in a silt sock for protection against dirt and debris, takes excess water and directs it to a sump pump. Next, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the lowest point of the crawl space for minimal resistance from the Perf Pipe. The TripleSafe provides the most efficient water removal, featuring three separate pumps inside. Lastly, a brand-new 6-mil vapor barrier was laid across the dirt floor, keeping the ground moisture in the soil and not in the crawl space. This home was finally protected, and the crawl space was prepared to fight whatever the weather might bring. 

This homes foundation had shifted greatly. When their Old vapor barrier was installed it was not fully sealed and water was getting in. As the water penetrated the wooden posts, the homes foundation was badly damaged. We had to replace multiple piers with our SmartJack to keep the house safe. 

This homes crawlspace was in disarray. To insulate it properly and protect it in the long run, we installed our Crawlspace Encapsulation system. 

This home had rotting wooden posts in their Crawlspace. The above home smelled damp and the floor was warping in response to the water damage. To stop this we installed six SmartJacks to provide stability to the home and we then added a pipe drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a 6 Mil vapor barrier.
