John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The customer called with concerns of air quality coming from the crawl space.

These homeowners had problems with big critters entering their crawl space and causing issues. Over time, this also made it easy for water and debris to enter and affect the vapor barrier, causing the fiberglass insulation to sag due to moisture. They also knew their exterior crawl space entry was a mess. It sat at ground level, allowing heavy rains to flow into the crawl space, and allowing critters of all sizes to gain easy access. Knowing that this could become a major issue, these homeowners reached out to us in hopes of finding them a permanent solution to give them peace of mind and protect their crawl space. We went out and thoroughly inspected the crawl space, then met with the owners to discuss the game plan.

We installed a full encapsulation system to address the crawl space. This entails a full perimeter drainage pipe that helps direct water intrusion to our SuperSump that will collect this water and pump it outside through a discharge line. We then install our TerraBlock system onto the dirt floor for insulation and our CleanSpace, 20 mil thick vapor barrier is sealed on top providing 770 mm of protection for this crawl space. We also installed our effective dehumidifier that will dry and filter the air eliminating damp and musty odors all while keeping a healthy relative humidity. Lastly for the inside of the crawl space, we installed our SilverGlo wall system into the foundation walls for insulation. To address the accessway concern, we installed our EverLast Door and EverLast access well. Together they create a safe exterior access into the crawl space. This door seals off outside air, protecting the encapsulated space. The access well is situated around it, allowing anyone to crouch down and enter the crawl space, but also protecting the space from having anything pressing into the space. It's made of very heavy and durable polyethylene and holds back soil from the EverLast Door. This is the solution the homeowners were looking forward to. Now this home has exterior access into the crawl space and is fully encapsulated and protected, giving these homeowners real peace of mind. 

This homeowner had a beautiful finished basement but this last year the wall was softening and has a strange dark area. When our team came out to inspect they discovered that this was due to a large concentration of wet soil behind the basement wall on the exterior. Over time water began to work its way through the concrete wall and now the family risked damage to the finished walls of their home. Our team came in and placed not only a drain system to collect this water but also installed our patented Bright Wall panels to ensure the walls of the basement remained strong for the life of the house. 

This basement started as removing water from the basement and the customer decided that he wanted a nice finished space and decided on Bright Wall finish panels to make the rest of it look finished and clean. 

We replaced this old, wet and dirty vapor barrier with a new one and secured it to the walls so that it will stay intact much longer than the one before.
