John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner was experiencing leaking water in their basement. This can happen if there's cracks in the foundation walls or improper drainage was installed. It is usually the cause of too much water pressure puddling up and seeping into the basement. Once this homeowner noticed that their was a water problem, they called John's Waterproofing to get the issue solved and stop the water from flooding in. After discussing their options, they agreed to doing a basement waterproofing so they wouldn't have to worry about it happening again. Our crew first installed a drainage system, WaterGuard, along the interior perimeter of the basement. This is super important in order to control the flow of water and be able to direct it to the sump pump. Our SuperSump Plus sump pump is able to collect the water from the WaterGuard and send it safely away from the homes foundation. Because the homeowner wanted this to be a finished space, we then installed ThermalDry along the foundation walls. ThermalDry is a vapor barrier, made of waterproof material to prevent mold growth, that helps guide moisture from the walls down to the drainage system. It is shingled to the WaterGuard to ensure secure waterflow. Additionally, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed that works to pull moisture out of the air and control the basement's environment. After the basement waterproofing process is completed, the homeowner gets to enjoy their healthy and dry basement again. 

After years of water entering the crawl space, tons of dirt and debris had been brought in from the outside. This is a problem because over time water evaporates into the air and leaves that outside sediment behind on the vapor barrier. Sometimes rocks and large objects can even slip through which can cause rips and tears in the liner. At John's Waterproofing, we are able to solve this problem by encapsulating the space. This is the process of closing the crawl space off from the outside and controlling the environment so it isn't exposed to harsh weather conditions. This involves installing a drainage system with a perforated pipe and a SuperSump Plus sump pump. Also, we install TerraBlock insulation foam and a new CleanSpace vapor barrier. These help seal the earth off from the crawl space floor and prevent water from being able to seep through again. A SaniDry dehumidifier helps with air filtration and Spray Foam completely air sealing the space. Once the encapsulation is completed, it leaves the crawl space brand new and cleaned up so that homeowners don't have to worry about water damage in the future.
