Before & After Photos

This crawlspace was full of dirt and water and caked-on silt from where water had previously been. Lynn replaced the vapor barrier, installed a sump pump and dehumidifier to make the space dry and functional. 

The season was warming up, and this homeowner kept thinking about planned power outages. The heat from not having a cooling system, the spoiled food, the loss of electronics in everyday life... so they called up John's Electrical. They wanted to have a Cummins whole home generator installed. We had our electrical and plumbing division sent out and we hooked up the generator. This machine will keep their entire home running when the power is interrupted. After checking over the system and all of its features, this project was completed. 

This customer called complaining that they had water leaking thru the foundation and wall of their finished basement. We installed our patented WaterGuard system and TripleSafe sump pump. 

Concrete walls are naturally porous so they tend to act as hard sponges. Absorbing moisture from the surrounding soil and leading to high levels of indoor humidity. This can cause issues with mold, efflorescence and structural damage. The paint on the concrete walls in this basement were peeling and cold to the touch which was also an indication of moisture intrusion. These homeowners reached out and set up their free visit. we went out and thoroughly inspected this basement and came up with our best options for these homeowners so this basement could transform into a dry, stable and healthy space.

We began by creating a trench around the interior perimeter of this basement using a jack hammer, in the trench we add clean gravel rock and our WaterGuard drainage system on top to collect water from the walls and groundwater and direct it to the lowest point. Then this system gets concreted over, level with the floor. At the low point we install our SuperSump Plus to gather the water that enters and pump it outside of the home, away from the foundation. This home had several below below grade windows, for each, we install a WellDuct to direct water from the window well inside into the perimeter drainage system. On the porous concrete walls, we install our BrightWall system which will also help guide any moisture down into the WaterGuard system while providing a semi-finished look for this basement. The final piece was the dehumidifier which helps the space maintain healthy air, removing the excess moisture. Now, with this system in place these homeowners can have peace of mind. 

As this homes basement is prepped to be finished, the windows would need work. They had some minor leaking issues and were far to small to be used in the event of an emergency evacuation. After we had an installation crew waterproof the space, our finishing crew arrived to upgrade the window and the window well.
