Before & After Photos

This before and after is of a Super Sump installation. The Super Sump pump removes up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour smoothly and quietly. It comes with a built-in alarm system that will alert when water levels rise too high.

This home's basement doorway had a slope down to it, causing excessive water pressure, leading to water leaks under the door. This doorway had a small lower platform to accommodate the door, the homeowners weren't looking to dig down the rest of their basement, but this landing was severely damaged from cracks due to water pressure. We broke the apart, installed a TrenchDrain to collect the water, and re-poured the concrete.  

This homeowner wanted to redo their basement and make it a usable space in their home. After discovering that their basement had been experiencing water seeping in through the walls, they decided to reach out to John's Waterproofing to solve the issue before they completed their basement. We suggested that a full basement waterproofing process would the best long-term protection against water from seeping through again. This process begins by installing a drainage system along the interior perimeter of their basement. A trench is jackhammered into the concrete to make space for the WaterGuard drainage pipe to be installed. It is capable of collecting any water that tries to get through and offers it a safe passageway to flow through. It is placed along the footing of the basement and is lined with gravel to help prevent clogging. The WaterGuard connects to a TripleSafe sump pump. This three-pump system can collect gallons of water and push it out and away from the homes foundation. Once drainage is installed and the passage of water is controlled, then we install a ThermalDry vapor barrier. This silver vapor barrier goes along the basement walls to guide any moisture down below to the drainage system. It is able to do this securely because it is anchored to the walls and sealed with 4 in. thick waterproof tape. We shingle the base of the ThermalDry into the WaterGuard system, thus ensuring no water will have access into the basement. Something that makes ThermalDry different than other vapor barriers is that it is also provides a thermal break. This helps improves the homes energy efficiency to help control the environment in the basement and add comfortability to the space. Once this process is completed, the basement is fully waterproofed and ready for the homeowners to finish, thus adding more usable space to their home.

This store needed to have their electrical meter moved from one side of the building to another. We sent out an electrician who reviewed the changes that the owners wanted made, and submitted the proposal for PGE to approve of. Once we had permission we got to work. The the new electrical meter was installed in the new location, hooking up all power aspects to the new meter. We then removed the old power pole as it would no longer be needed. 

These homeowners found standing water in their basement. They quickly moved the items around to help keep things dry. However, they knew this was only a temporary way to address the issue, and a drain system would be needed. They called up John's Waterproofing for help and we worked with them to find a long term solution with products backed by our amazing warranties.
