This homes crawl space had a good slope, and the water would pool in the lower areas, causing damp odors. To address this issue the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing to get a quote to replace the 6 Mil. We ended up installing a pipe system to ensure water was directed to the lowest point where a new TripleSafe sump pump is installed and we installed a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping edges and running it up the walls to help it last a few years until the barrier will need to be replaced or upgraded again.
This homes crawlspace had an old 6 Mil vapor barrier, and after a few years, these need to be changed out. They dont fully seal a space, and can move around over time. This one had been installed a little over six years ago, and some chew marks were present, bringing water over the barrier, and humidity issues were causing the homes insulation to sag and fall in places. To keep the home healthy, the homeowners opted to have a full encapsulation solution installed, providing their home with a long term solution.
This crawlspace had mud caked throughout, to control the water issues present we did a crawlspace encapsulation.
When we arrived, this homes crawlspace entrance was clogged with mud and very difficult to enter. To start work on this job, we dug out the entrance, safely cut into the foundation wall and created an entryway that would be user friendly with our Turtl entryway.
This crawlspace was a barrage of pipes and vents and wires all residing in a wet and swampy mess. Our team went in and installed a full perimeter drain, a dehumidifier and full encapsulated the space under the home. This sealed space now promotes better air quality and improved energy efficiency for the homeowners.
