This homes panel was outdated and had no breakers left for any electrical components to be added. Wanting to upgrade the panel and clean up this mess, the owners contacted John's Waterproofing for our electrical department. We scheduled them for a consultation, at which point the system was looked over thoroughly and we were able to make our game plan. We then replaced the old panel with one that had more breakers, and organized the system so it was much safer.
Customer called to have crawl space cleaned out and encapsulated
New homeowners realized their home didnt have waterproofing installed in the basement before it was finished. To protect their investment, they asked John's Waterproofing to come out and pre-emtivly install a waterproofing system before the home could get damaged.
While we had to redo some of the basement to get it sealed up, we were happy to waterproof and re-finish the basement.
Accumulation of standing water had been a persistent issue for this concrete patio. Living in the PNW, there is no shortage of wet conditions throughout the year. Due to the downward sloping of this patio, all rainwater, as well as runoff from watering potted plants, continuously ran downhill to the lowest portion of the slab. The homeowners didn't like having to look at the ugly collected water, and they were concerned that the standing water could pose a safety risk. They called John's, and we came out to inspect the issue. Our Design Specialist explained to the homeowners about the possibility of permanent water damage, as well as how the damage could go further than only impacting the patio - it could also, overtime, cause catastrophic damage to the foundation walls of the home. This is because too much water seeping through the patio, and into the earth below that supports the foundation, could cause erosion of that soil, eventually leading to the sliding and crumbling of the foundation walls. Fortunately, the homeowners were on top of this issue, and called on us as the leading waterproofing experts, to intervene before it was too late. Our Design Specialist offered them the perfect solution, the installation of an XL TrenchDrain into the patio, to collect all water, and route it away from the home. They signed the Job Proposal, and we got them on our schedule! When our crew arrived, the first step was cutting out a narrow, 35 foot portion of the patio at the lowest point, to create a trench. Inside of the trench, we placed 35 feet of XL TrenchDrain, which is a metal drain that will remain permanently in place to collect all water intrusion, and will route it safely away from the home via a drain line. After placement of the TrenchDrain, we poured new concrete around it to hold it firmly in place, and to provide a nice finished look. The TrenchDrain has a metal cover on it, that is easily removeable for cleaning. These homeowners are happy to no longer have to look at dirty standing water while they're resting on their patio after a long day. They are also glad to know that they have made the right decision to protect the entire structure of their home from the devastating affects that years worth of standing water can cause, without proper implementation of quality solutions.
