John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Portland homeowner was using his crawlspace as storage and where his water heater was installed. He had water leaking and it was ruining his belongings that were stored down there. With water in the crawlspace over time, his posts started to rot and he noticed soft spots on the floor. He gave us a call and our crew came out and encapsulated his crawlspace and put in new posts. He now has more storage than ever before and doesn't have to worry about his belongings being destroyed.                                      

This home had a basement with leaking foundation walls. For years they had been applying a waterproof paint over the walls, but the water kept coming back. The homeowners were ready for a long term solution, and turned to John's Waterproofing. 

This basement had water coming in, the homeowners quickly boxed and bagged up the items in the space and moved it to the portion that had remained dry. They called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection and estimate to see how they could solve this problem. We installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to grade the collected water to a TripleSafe sump pump. The walls then had BrightWall paneling installed to keep any wall moisture directed down into the drain system to be dispelled. To complete the job we installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier. 

This homeowners basement was used as a utility space and general storage. The walls had cracked old waterproof paint, and water seeped in along the floor, leading to musty and damp odors throughout. To get the space to be usable and enjoy a semi-finished look, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. We installed a full interior drainage system using our WaterGuard, which will collect and channel the water to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Along the walls we then installed our BrightWall paneling which is shingled into the new drain system so any moisture or water is safely collected. BrightWall is a waterproof material which will not mold or mildew, and brightens the space, giving it a semi-finished look once fully installed. To finish the project we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

This homeowner was concerned about the air quality in the home after noticing some rodent and pest activity. They reached out to John's to find a solution. After our free inspection and estimate, our system design specialist met with the homeowner to discuss the best options. Our team began this project by removing all of the insulation and debris from the crawl space. Next our team digs a trench around the interior perimeter to then lay down a perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for water to drain to the SuperSump at the lowest point. Then, we install our TerraBlock system. This goes on the dirt floor creating an insulated barrier, separating the home and the earth. Directly on top of the TerraBlock, we install our CleanSpace system, which goes all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and is sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape. We then cover all the vents shut so no outside air can enter. Next, we install our SaniDry Sedona to control the environment, this dehumidifier will help with drying and filtering the air to eliminate damp musty odors and will keep the space at a healthy relative humidity. To ensure a complete and airtight condition, we spray our foam insulation all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists making sure every crack and void is filled. This type of insulation will make the home much more energy efficient. Lastly, we install our Aspen in the living area of the home. This is the highest performing air filtration system in the world, with three stages of custom designed filters. This will remove large particles like dust and pollen, gasses and odors, and the tiniest of particles like smoke and viruses. These homeowners can be sure their air quality is substantially improved and their home protected for years to come.
