John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners were noticing some parts of their floors were sagging and they were smelling musty odors in the home. They reached out to John's Waterproofing to schedule a free estimate and inspection. One of our knowledgeable design specialists went and spoke with these homeowners about what options would solve these issues and decided to move forward with the project. We begin this project by removing all of the debris. Next, we install our SmartJack system. These are our high-capacity adjustable supplemental steel piers designed to stop settling and raise the floor up and offer support. Then, we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space and lay down a perforated pipe into a silt sock, creating a secure passage for water to drain to the TripleSafe Sump pump at the lowest point in the crawl space. We then install our TerraBlock system directly on the dirt floor of the crawl space. This creates an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. On top of the TerraBlock, we install our CleanSpace system. This goes all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and seals at the footing of the wooden posts with waterproof tape. With the vibrant white finish of the CleanSpace, the space feels brighter and the homeowner will be able to easily see there is no mold, pests or dirt. All the vents in this space are sealed shut to prevent outside air from entering. To control the environment, we then install our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will eliminate damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the space all while keeping the home at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly, we install our foam insulation. This is sprayed all along the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and fills every crack and void effectively insulating the space, this form of insulation ensures an airtight seal, and complete protection for years to come. 

The crawlspace of this home had been overlooked for a while, leaving the old insulation to fall apart from water weight and the old vapor barrier to be torn, ripped, and caked in mud. To fix this we did a full crawlspace encapsulation. 

This home had a water issue in the basement. The walls and floor were damp to the touch and a weird smell was present. The homeowners wanted to finish their basement, but knew the water should be addressed first. They had John's Waterproofing come out and install a full WaterGuard parameter, TripleSafe Sump Pump, Thermal Dry Radiant Wall Barrier, and a SaniDry dehumidifier to get this space properly addressed before they continued with their finishing project. 

This home had bouncy floors. While the homeowner used to go under the home to replace his vapor barrier, as years progressed and he got older, this had been to difficult to do. He knew the crawlspace was overdue and that the bounce wasn't a good sign. Our design specialist found eleven wooden posts rotting from prolonged water exposure. To address this, they were replaced with SmartJacks and we did a full encapsulation. 

This homes crawl space was in disrepair. The homeowners had tried some DIY options, but nothing was providing a real solution. So they called up John's Waterproofing for a professional opinion. While not ready for a full encapsulation, they opted for a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic. This will provide them a full drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a brand new 6 Mil vapor barrier. This system will be able to stand up to the amount of water that the home faces. The homeowners like how much cleaner the crawl space looks and it smells fresher to. Now when they are ready for an encapsulation down the road, they already have the drains and pump in place.
