John's Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer called with an active water problem that he knew needed to be fixed soon. Our inspector went out and found that with the water in the crawlspace and high humidity the moisture had been absorbed by the fiberglass insulation. With constant exposure to moisture, mold had begun to grow on the joists and posts. Our crew went out and did a crawlspace encapsulation system for the water situation. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick woven fiber barrier. It is tear-resistant and will not deteriorate with water exposure. When we encapsulate a crawlspace we bring the vapor barrier all the way up to the sill plate of the home. When finished the crawlspace is encapsulated and considered a conditioned space. The homeowner was so relieved to have the mold taken care of and he didn't have to worry about further water damage to his home. 

When this homeowner had called us they previously had installed their own sump pump. Unfortunately, their crawl space still had inches of water all over. Having standing water in your crawl space can damage your foundation and any organic materials in it. Standing water can also lead to mold and damage the air in your home. Our crews installed our TripleSafe sump pump that has a two-level pumping system along with a battery-operated pump that runs in case of a power outage. The difference in this crawl space is shocking and the homeowners couldn't believe it was the same space.  

With long time water issues, this home had mildew growing on the old 6 Mil vapor barrier. After dealing with this for years, the homeowners wanted a solution and called up John's Waterproofing to have a crawlspace encapsulation. 

This homeowner discovered that their crawl space had falling fiberglass insulation and a destroyed vapor barrier. The reached out to John's Waterproofing about how they could fix their crawl space and have it actually benefit their home. They agreed that a full encapsulation would offer them the best solution. We were able to clean and properly insulate the crawl space ensuring clean air could be spread throughout the home.

Our inspection unveiled a wet crawlspace floor, damaged vapor barrier and prime conditions for mold. After our team was done the home owners no longer had water and mold issues.
