John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This crawl space was showing all of the signs of water intrusion. High levels of humidity, musty smells, sagging insulation and so much more. The homeowner reached out to John's in hopes of addressing this issue permanently and completely transforming this crawl space. After going out and thoroughly inspecting this home we came up with the best plan that will give them peace of mind.

We begin this project by removing all of the debris, fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. We dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space where we place a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock to create a secure passage for water to drain to the lowest point, where we install the SuperSump Plus. This system pumps the water outside of the home through a discharge line. We make sure all of the vents are covered and sealed shut to prevent outside air from entering. Dirt floors can be full of moisture so we install our TerraBlock system. This is our 3/4th inch foam with a vapor barrier on both sides that will help insulate and block out moisture. Our 20 mil thick liner (CleanSpace) is then anchored into the foundation walls, placed between each footing and post as well as laid over top of the entire TerraBlock system and sealed with our heavy duty CleanSpace tape. To keep the environment stable, we install our SaniDry Sedona which will eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air keeping a healthy relative humidity throughout the crawl space. To complete this project, we install spray foam insulation. This is sprayed onto the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and it expands, which fills every crack and void. This form of insulation guarantees a complete airtight seal. Now this crawl space is dry, stable and healthy which will give these homeowners peace of mind. 

Due to excessive moisture this foundation support is cracking and giving way. Thankfully our team was there to replace it with a SmartJack so a sinking home will not be a worry for them. 

Although we recommend a full encapsulation system this vapor barrier replacement still looks pretty good and will help a home be sale ready. 

This customer called because spiders and other insects were getting into his crawlspace. So we sent out our inspector and they recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier will keep his crawlspace dry and humidity down. Now having a CleanSpace encapsulation he will never have to worry about water or insects again. 

This homeowner called because anytime we got any amount of rain the crawl space would puddle up with water and between the water and mud the black plastic vapor barrier was crumbling and being of no use. They called to have an inspector come out and do a free inspection. The inspector found water damage, mud, debris, and puddles in the crawlspace. Our crew cleaned out the crawlspace and did a crawl space encapsulation. We used a 20 mils thick woven fiber vapor barrier called CleanSpace along with a smart drain. That next rainy season, they called to thank us since they didn't have any water in the crawlspace, it stayed completely dry. They were so glad to have a healthy crawlspace. 

On this project we were able to lift the building piers so we could slide our CleanSpace 20 Mil Vapor barrier in.
