John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home had a hillside crawlspace, that included some poured flat spaces. The homeowners wanted to utilize this for storage space, but they knew any water intrusion could cause damage, so they called up John's Waterproofing for encapsulation! 

The Homeowner was constantly battling with a musty smell in her home. No matter what she did, or cleaner she used, the smell just wouldn't go away. When she heard John talk about musty smells possibly coming from your crawlspace she called us out to investigate. Sure enough that was where Janine's problem began. The relative humidity in Janine's crawlspace was 70% (it is relative humidity that leads to moisture and unwanted smells) and the dank air filled the room. We encapsulated her crawlspace, installed a dehumidifier and solved Janine's problem. Now the air in her house is clean and she is saving every month on her heating and cooling. 

Thermaldry Baesment Wall System helps protect against moisture and reflects heat back into the basement.

The Xypex is put over the crack in the wall and will expand when water hits it, preventing the water from leaking through that crack into the basement. 

Unknown to this homeowner every time it would rain the water was leaking into their crawlspace. The standing water was raising the humidity in the crawlspace creating mold and causing their fiberglass insulation to sag. When our inspector went out the biggest problem that was being caused for them was their wooden posts were rotting due to the water damage. Our inspector suggested doing a post-replacement with our SmartJack. Our Smart Jack is a steel adjustable pier that stops settling and won't rot, shift, or settle.
