John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had high humidity levels in the crawl space. The homeowners had tried to have fiberglass insulation but due to the moisture content, this was drooping and needing to be re-tacked up. To address this, they were ready to try something new. Our encapsulation offers long-lasting crawl space insulation with TerraBlock over the floor and Spray Foam along the foundation walls. The new SaniDry dehumidifier will address moisture issues and this space will be dry, stable, and healthy. 

By installing the CleanSpace Encapsulation and a SuperSump sump pump we were able to solve this homeowner water intrusion issues. This crawl space will now be dry for years to come.

This homeowners DIY sump pump couldn't keep up with the homes water issues, and they were using a shop vacuum to clear the pump to keep it running. They knew a long term solution was needed to keep their home dry and healthy. They turned to John's Waterproofing had had a full drainage system and TripleSafe Sump Pump with a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space truly dry and healthy. 

This homeowner had a previous company come and install a sump pump in their crawl space. It began overfilling, unable to control the passage of water, and the crawl space started to flood. They called John's Waterproofing about getting their sump pump replaced and finding a long-term option for keeping water out of the crawl space. We informed them about our TripleSafe sump pump being the perfect solution to their problem. The TripleSafe sump pump is a three-pump system designed to be able to safely collect gallons of water and push it out and away from the homes foundation. We install it in a 22 in. deep trench at the lowest point in the crawl space so that water collected from a perforated pipe can be securely guided to the sump pump. The pipe goes inside the container bin to ensure the water gets exactly where the pump needs it to be. The first pump is a high quality 1/3 hp Zoeller pump that has a sensor so whenever water gets to a certain point, it knows to begin sending it out through the discharge line. The second pump is a 1/2 hp Zoeller pump that's set higher in the sump hold. It turns on in the event that the first pump can't keep up with the high volume of water. This is one reason for how our sump pumps differ from others, because there are two pumps which work together to ensure no water gets back into the crawl space. The final pump is a battery operated pump in case of a power outage. Ensuring that no matter the circumstance, your sump pump will be able to still pump water out. We also schedule annual maintenance checks on our TripleSafe sump pumps so that homeowners feel comfortable that it won't fail. Overall, at John's Waterproofing we want to keep crawl spaces as dry and healthy as possible and that begins with a proper way to dispel the water.

This customer called us when they discovered a water was coming into the crawlspace and causing moisture and mold spores to grow. It was affecting the walls and air of the house. So we sent out one of our inspectors to see what we could do to fix the problem. 

Our inspector went and found standing water in the crawlspace which had started to ruin the old black plastic vapor barrier and create a muddy mess. We did a crawlspace clean out and remove the wet sagging fiberglass insulation. We installed our crawlspace encapsulation system with our Cleanspace vapor barrier that is 20 mil thick and tacks on the walls of the crawlspace while sealing the vents. We also installed a smart sump pump that will pump all water out along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will keep all moisture, dust mites, and mold spores clear from the air you breathe in your home. We then used our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the crawlspace efficiently keeping warm air in and a nicely sealed space. 

The homeowner was so relieved to have us encapsulate her crawlspace and they don't have to worry about water or mold again. They now can relax knowing their family will be breathing clean air in their home.
