Many years of persistent water intrusion into this crawl space had caused the original wooden posts to rot, shift, and become unstable, leaving the subfloor at terrible risk of structural collapse. The job of the subfloor is to evenly support the weight of the home, to ensure level interior floors, and a safe, stable home. When structural components beneath the home are compromised, the entire structure of the home feels the impact. Over time, effects will only worsen in the form of uneven interior floors, doors that won't shut, cracks in the walls, and in extreme cases, interior flooring collapsing into the crawl space. In order to reinforce damaged subfloors, our crew of structural experts removes the original wooden piers, and replaces them with Steel SmartJack Piers. SmartJacks are adjusted with precision, until the entirety of the subfloor is level, and the weight of the home is evenly distributed. Because they are made of steel, they are resistant to rot, allowing them to remain in place permanently to support the weight of the home, and ensure overall structural stability. When structural damage is present within crawl spaces, it is imperative to not only reinforce the subfloor, but to also professionally encapsulate the space. John's professional crawl space encapsulation seals, waterproofs, and insulates the entire space to protect the home from the devastating effects of water damage. This crawl space has now been professionally reinforced, and encapsulated by the experts here at John's, providing this family with a dry, clean, and stable home for them to grow and thrive in for many years to come!
Encapsulating with CleanSpace and adding our Spray foam insulation leaves this crawlspace dry and warm for years to come.
Before and after of cleanspace encapsulation system
The customer had ventured into their crawlspace, and found that it was "a complete mess down there." So they decided it was time to have someone go down and clean it out. They had the space encapsulated with our 20 mil CleanSpace and a TripleSafe sump pump to help control the moisture buildup in the space.
This homes basement had been finished, but the homeowners noticed an odd musty smell coming from the drywall. They ended up removing the drywall and finding the fiberglass insulation was soaking up water from the foundation walls and molding. We ended up installing a full parameter drainage system with a SuperSump pump and EverLast wall system to ensure it would stay dry and healthy.
