John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

There is nothing more frustrating than when you're selling your home and find out your crawl space needs attention. This homeowner had their realtor call us for an inspection and job to be done in a timely manner. The crawl space was wet and the vapor barrier was a mess. We came out cleaned out all the debris and put in a new vapor barrier. This homeowner was relived and sold their home in no time. 

This customer called us because every time there was a  heavy rain water would leak into the basement and leave puddles on their floor. We installed our patented WaterGuard system and BrightWall paneling making it a dry living space. 

The customer called with concerns of air quality coming from the crawl space.

After living with significant water damage in the basement for a long time, this homeowner decided it was time to do an upgrade and make the space usable again. They called John's Waterproofing about fixing their leaky basement walls and offering a cleaner look. We informed the homeowner about our basement waterproofing process and they agreed it was the best solution to saving their basement. First, we installed a drainage system. This basement was clearly experiencing water damage from the cracks in the foundation walls and seeping in through the footing. We installed a WaterGuard drainage system that goes below the flooring and along the interior perimeter of the basement. This is able to collect any water that tries to seep through and offer a safe passageway for it to flow through as opposed to flooding. It is lined with gravel to help filter the water through and connects to a SuperSump Plus sump pump. The sump pump takes any water that is collected and can push it out of the basement and away from the homes foundation through a discharge line. After the drainage system is installed, we cover it with concrete so that the homeowner can still use the space however they want without noticing there is a full system beneath. Afterwards, we installed a CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier. This is a 20 mil thick liner made with woven fibers to keep moisture out. It is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears to ensure long-lasting protection. Once this basement waterproofing process is completed, the homeowner gets the upgrade they needed to their basement and can use the space freely again.

This very large space created cold drafts into the house and cold wood floors throughout the year. Our crew removed the old torn black plastic from the floor and encapsulated the space. 

Homeowner says, 

“A very positive experience! Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The contractors were punctual, work was completed professionally, and they cleaned up after themselves. What used to be a wet and musty crawl space is now a dry, clean space after their careful work and installation of a sump pump. They also offered a discount for paying on completion!  John's Waterproofing comes highly recommended by this customer; I have already referred them to friends!”
