Before & After Photos

Most crawl spaces are unintentionally neglected. That is, until a problem that cannot be ignored presents itself. This crawl space was causing humidity and damp smells throughout the living area, which concerned the homeowners. Water in the crawl space causes moisture that raises indoor humidity leading to musty smells, discomfort and potential damage to the flooring, walls and even furniture. Wanting to find a permanent solution, these homeowners gave us a call and we went out to perform a free estimate. During the thorough inspection we found signs of active water, rodent nests and droppings. After the inspection we met with the homeowners to discuss options that will not only address all the issues but will keep the home protected for years to come. We went over the benefits of a full encapsulation and the homeowners moved forward with the estimate and scheduled their project.

First, we start by removing all of the debris and old vapor barrier. Next, we dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space and placed a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for water to properly drain to the lowest point. At this low point we installed our TripleSafe system that collects all of the water that enters and pumps it outside through a discharge line. We then make sure all of the vents in the crawl space are covered and sealed shut. Next, we install our TerraBlock. This system is designed to be installed onto the dirt floor to insulate and help block moisture. On top of the TerraBlock, we installed our CleanSpace system which is a heavy duty 20 mil thick barrier. We seal this at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof CleanSpace tape. This liner also gets anchored into the foundation walls, up to the rim joists. Outside, we install our EverLast door to create sealed exterior access into the crawl space. To control the environment, we install our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that will eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air and keep the home at a healthy relativity humidity; promoting healthier air throughout the entire home. To finish this encapsulation, we install our spray foam insulation onto the foundation walls. These homeowners can now have peace of mind knowing that their home is protected for years to come. 

This homes crawlspace dirt floor was moist to the touch, and mold spores were creeping up some of the wood. To address the issue we installed a full encapsulation system to keep this space dry and healthy. 

This homeowner had a homemade sump pump in their crawlspace, however, it couldn't stand up to the water that was pooling into the space. To properly handle the water issue, we did a full encapsulation with a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. 

This homeowners crawlspace had a humidity issue. Because of this water would be absorbed into the fiberglass insulation and mold spores would grow. The homeowners needed to change out the fiberglass and treat the mold every few years to keep on top of it. The were done with the constant upkeep and after searching online, decided to call up John's Waterproofing for an encapsulation. 

 This homeowner called to tell us he wanted his crawlspace looked at because it is dirty. When he saw the photos of water in the crawlspace that our inspector showed him, he decided it was time to get it taken care of once and for all. Our team removed the water, the damaged vapor barrier, and the falling insulation. After getting the space clean we sealed the crawlspace with our patented Clean Space material and the home owner was amazed at the transformation.
