John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When John's Waterproofing does an inspection for a basement waterproofing system, we want to ensure we check every aspect of the basement for possible water entry. While installing a drainage system and wall systems are important, we want to address all of the basement and that starts with checking the basement windows. These below grade windows are prime spots for water intrusion issues because the soil around the home is loose and water can easily pass through to the foundation and windows. If there's no form of protection against that loose soil, water will build up and need somewhere to go. This tends to be through the cracks and crevices around the windows. To make sure that water can't gain access into the basement, we install Window Wells and drainage. A Window Well is the barrier that goes outside around the below grade windows. It is lined with gravel and surrounds the entirety of the window to ensure water won't end up pushing against the window frame. The U-shape of the Window Well will also allow for light to reach the basement and add comfortability. We also install a drain system which collects the rainwater that goes into the window well, this will guide water collected here to can safely pass through the foundation and be guided to the waterproofing system we installed inside the basement. After the below-grade windows have been addressed, this basement can rest assured their basement is waterproofed on all fronts. 

This customer called complaining that they had water leaking thru the foundation and wall of their finished basement. We installed our patented WaterGuard system and TripleSafe sump pump. 

This customer called because they had a musty smell coming into their home from their crawlspace. The crawlspace was dusty, had some moisture on the vapor barrier, and had a strong musty smell. Our crews went in and encapsulated the crawlspace using our CleanSpace Vapor barrier. It is 20 mils thick and is rip resistant to keep animals and bugs out. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help keep the moisture out of the crawlspace and filter the air. After encapsulating the crawlspace the homeowner was so relieved that they didn't have a musty smell coming into their home. 

The customer called due to concerns on a small vapor barrier covered crawl space in the basement. There were a very strong musty smell and moldy shelves that were next to it, which were also raising red flags. We encapsulated the small crawl space and got a dehumidifier down in the daylight basement to regulate any unforeseen future humidity problems. 

This customer called us with concerns of moisture in his crawlspace and wanted to have it inspected. We pulled out the wet and dirty vapor barrier and cleaned all the moisture out and put in a smart drain so that water wouldn't collect in his crawlspace again.
