We love transforming dirty, neglected crawl spaces into pristine, professionally waterproofed areas that help protect the health and longevity of families and their homes. John's crews have been waterproofing and repairing crawl spaces in the PNW for over 50 years, making us the company to call for all things crawl space! Crawl space encapsulation is the best solution in the industry. It seals, waterproofs, and insulates the space entirely, fully transforming the area into a clean, dry space. Clean air inside of your crawl space is of paramount importance, as 40% of the air inside of your home, comes from below-grade. This means that whatever is beneath your home, is also inside of it. If your crawl space contains rodents, mold, or bacteria, then microscopic air particles from those toxins are seeping into your home through your floors everyday. This is a reality for many homeowners, as crawl spaces often are overlooked and not properly managed. This is where we come in! John's specializes in encapsulation. We use the highest quality, professional-grade waterproofing components available, and our crews are dedicated to providing WOW service every step of the way. When installation is finished, homeowners can expect to save up to 40% per year on energy costs, and with proper yearly maintenance. With an Encapsulated crawl space, the structural stability of home is protected, ensuring that the soil beneath the home is dry and strong, and that moisture cannot damage the structural framing of homes. Additionally, these professionally sealed and insulated spaces work behind the scenes everyday, deterring rodents, preventing mold growth, and maintaining a safe air quality at all times - allowing families to thrive in health and stability for many years. If your crawl space is in need of a tune-up, give our office a call, and we will schedule your Free Inspection with one of our highly trained Design Specialists!
Encapsulating your crawl space with our system will leave your crawl space looking bright, clean and waterproofed! All while benefiting your indoor air quality and energy bills! If you have a nasty, wet or unhealthy crawl space, encapsulating it with our cleanspace system is the way to go!
The Spray foam insulation we use is a closed cell which means it acts as a barrier to moisture and air. Giving the homeowner added protection and a more comfortable home, along with saving money on energy bills!
This customer called with concerns of water in their crawlspace and had seen us at a home show. When our design specialist went out they found water and moisture in the crawlspace, when left untreated it can cause mold and wood rot problems to your crawlspace. Our crew went out and cleaned all the debris and old worn vapor barrier out. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and rip-resistant. To help keep the water from pooling in the crawlspace we installed Smart Sump and a new discharge line to make sure the water that is pumped out does not come right back in. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that keeps humidity levels down which stops the moisture and also filters out mold spores, dust, and other allergens. This customer was so happy that they now have a dry and clean crawlspace and peace of mind that the foundation of their home is protected for years to come.
This crawl space was dark, filthy and humid, which created the perfect environment for rodent activity. They completely took over this crawl space and these homeowners wanted to create a healthy and stable space that benefits them and will keep problems away. They reached out to John's and we went out for a free visit. While thoroughly inspecting this crawl space, we found rodent droppings, fiberglass insulation used as nesting and a damaged chewed vapor barrier. There was also a high level of humidity that had caused mold in some spots. After hearing this, the homeowners were ready to transform their crawl space so they moved forward with the estimate and we began.
We start by removing the fiberglass and old vapor barrier, than spot treating the mold spots with our Mold X-2. This effectively removes mold stains in 20 seconds. Since there was not much water, we install our SmartDrain system that will alert the homeowner of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm, draining the water into a drywell underneath the CleanSpace until they can fix it. Next, we install our TerraBlock system directly onto the dirt floor of the crawl space creating an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. Over this is our CleanSpace system, going in between the footing and the wooden posts. This 20 mil thick liner is also anchored into the foundation walls and up to the rim joists. It all then gets sealed with our heavy duty waterproof tape. We want to keep the environment controlled so we then install our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air all while keeping the home at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly we finished this project by installing our foam insulation. This is sprayed along the foundation walls up to the rim joists filling every crack in void providing a complete airtight seal that will not allow any outside air, rodents, or water to enter. With this finished and protected crawl space these homeowners no longer have to worry about rodents taking over their home and living beneath their feet.
