John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Sump Pumps work best when they can have annual service. When left unchecked they can accumulate silt and sediment which can lead to flooding the Sump Pump. 

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! 

Having the entrance to the crawl space outside can be a good and bad thing. Good so that you don't have to worry about smells crawling up into your closet. But, it can also be a bad thing if its outside and it isn't tightly sealed. These entrances are optimal spots for rodents to get under your home and tear up your vapor barrier. It also can cause water to have easy access into the crawl space and cause mold to grow and the wooden posts to rot. Luckily, at John's Waterproofing one of our products that we offer is the Turtl. This is a crawl space entry system that helps to keep it dry, clean, and healthy. It is made of materials that are resistant to the outdoor elements so that mold and rot can't occur on it. The system offers an airtight seal that prevents water or debris from getting inside. A lot of homeowners feel safer with the Turtl because it can lock and offer a sense of security that a normal crawl space entrance can't. So, when your thinking about upgrading your crawl space in the future, be sure it will stay healthy by installing the Turtl entry system.

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.
