John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

During the nasty winter of 2017 we had many calls to our office from people who were having water flooding into their basements and crawlspaces. this home was no exception. Sometimes when things like this happen some home owners improvise until we can make it out to the home. That’s exactly what this homeowner did, he put a make shift sump pump in the crawl to at least minimize the water coming in. you can see in the before picture that it helped, but definitely was not a permanent solution to this homeowner’s problem. Our crew came in cleaned up the crawl installed a more efficient sump pump in a proper low point spot of the crawlspace along with a back-up battery and dehumidifier. It was also encapsulated without Cleanspace system to help keep out any water or moisture. Later on our crew came back out to finish putting in spray foam insulation.

Paraseal is installed on the exterior walls of the new basement before it is back-filled in order to prevent any water intrusion in the future.

This crawlspace in Lebanon was your typical crawlspace in terms of water and moisture and falling insulation. Our crew installed our patented CleanSpace System to finish the space and make it look amazing! 

This home suffered from high energy bills and noted their crawlspace was a mess. From falling fiberglass, mud crusted on the old vapor barrier, and general debris that had accumulated. To address these issues and work towards a healthy home, they opted to have a full crawlspace encapsulation. 

The right side of this home had settled, due to many years of a gutter downspout, pouring all collected rain water onto the affected side of the home. Our Design Specialist arrived, and kindly explained to the homeowner that the foundation of the home would need to be lifted back up, and the downspout would need to be tied into a Rain Drain Line. This solution would expel all collected rain water safely away from the home. The homeowner was excited to get these repairs scheduled! Our Structural Repair Crew arrived, and successfully lifted the settling foundation through the installation of 10 Steel Helical Piers. First, we attached 10 steel brackets directly onto the outside of the concrete foundation walls. Next, we hydraulically drilled the Piers through the brackets, deep into the earth, until the home was lifted back to its correct height. The Piers will remain permanently in place to prevent any further settling. With the foundation now secured, our Waterproofing Crew arrived, to tie the gutter downspout into an underground Rain Drain Line. For this, they first dug a narrow and shallow trench, from the downspout to a safe distance away from the home, they then buried the line with dirt. At the end of the drain line, they attached a LawnScape Outlet, ensuring that all gutter water would be evenly dispersed into the lawn. The foundation of this home is back to its correct and level height, and will be permanently supported by 10 Steel Helical Piers embedded deep into the weight bearing stratum of the earth. Additionally, the ground on the formerly settled portion of the home, will no longer be weak and water logged, thanks to the installation of the underground Rain Drain Line. All of these essential repairs were completed by the Structural and Waterproofing experts at John's, using components of the highest quality! This homeowner can now rest assured, knowing that she hired the right company to permanently restore strength and integrity to the entire structure of her home!
