John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement was semi-finished with some rooms left bare for general storage, and others finished for a bedroom, craft room, and bathroom. Over the years, water began to come in through the foundation along the rim joist and the floorboards. It was a slow intrusion, but over time became water mold and an odd odor took hold of the space. To fix up the basement, we removed the damaged portions of the basement walls and flooring. A full parameter WaterGuard drainage system was installed to collect water and grade it to a TripleSafe sump pump. On the unfinished walls we installed CleanSpace panels, and the finished spaces we insulated with a ThermalDry radiant barrier. Our finishing crew came out afterwards to re-finish the livable spaces for the homeowners to enjoy once more.  

During a crawlspace and foundation inspection, our Structural Design Specialist discovered several cracks within this concrete foundation wall. The cracks had been caused by many years of soil compression and expansion, allowing the foundation to shift and settle. With the weight of the home constantly putting pressure on the shifting foundation wall, many cracks were created over the years. A cracked foundation eventually creates cracked walls and ceilings inside of homes, and greatly threatens the integrity of the entire structure. To repair the cracks, and stop them from worsening, our crew of Structural Repair Experts first injected each crack with our Crack Epoxy Injection material, to bond and seal all of the jagged edges back together. Next, they covered each crack with several strands of Carbon Fiber Stitching. They attached the Carbon Fiber Stitching horizontally across each crack - permanently holding them together - and preventing them from worsening. Carbon Fiber Stitching is 10 times stronger than steel, and is a highly effective long term repair solution that returns structural stability to foundation walls. Our Structural Repair Experts have now reinforced the damaged foundation wall of this home with heavy-duty components that will provide permanent and effective structural support for many years to come!

This customer had a finished basement that was used for kids living space, but without the proper waterproofing system in place they started to get water seepage and leaks down in the kids’ bedrooms! This was destroying their stuff and leaving it an unsafe place to dwell in. Our team came out and put in a full WaterGuard system and put in our Thermaldry Wall system which will help reflect heat and make the room much warmer for the kids as well. The homeowners chose to finish the basement themselves so we set up the basement for them to finish over. 

As you can see in the photos, encapsulating your crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier protects the structure of your home from mold and dampness. 

The crawlspace of this home had evidence of critters living there, and the homeowners were looking to keep them out. As our design specialists discussed options we learned that the home had oddly high energy bills as well. To combat both the vermin and energy costs we did a full encapsulation with our crawlspace-specific insulation. This home will now be dry and healthy.
