John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homes heating and cooling costs were high, and the homeowner knew their poorly insulated crawl space added to this. They had replaced and reattached the fiberglass a few times over the years, but it would droop and fall again. They were ready to find a solution that would actually last, and they were ready to invest so they could save in the long run. To do this, they called up John's Waterproofing to learn about encapsulation. Our system uses TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor and Spray Foam along the walls to provide lasting insulation to the crawl space. 

We installed Thermal Dry walls and our patented WaterGuard perimeter drain in this homeowner's basement. The before picture shows evidence of water intrusion under the floors and behind the baseboards. The after photo shows our Thermal Dry system preventing any water from getting to the drywall that will be installed after our systems are in place.

This home's crawlspaces old vapor barrier was not installed properly and the water had been pooling under it, on it, and the moisture was being absorbed by the old fiberglass insulation. This passageway under the home had the old wooden frame rotting under the vapor barrier. To address this waterproofing issue we installed our dimpled drainage matting, insulated it with TerraBlock, and then sealed it all in with Cleanspace. The after photo here is from the work-in-progress stage, showing the layers that go into this encapsulation. 

This homes crawlspace had fallen to disrepair. They had to have pest control out to rid the space of critters and were referred to John's for the best preventative work; encapsulation. We cleaned out the space and brought in the material to have this space dry and healthy. 

When finishing a basement, it is a good idea to waterproof the space first. Even if water isnt evident now, over time, water will find a way to creep in. This homes basement had been finished, but now a funky smell was detectable. The homeowner claimed the walls smelled musty and damp. They ended up pulling some of the drywall off of the wall, and found the foundation had condensation on it. They called up John's Waterproofing to get their space Waterproofed and refinished.
