To keep the water moving, a sump pump should be installed in the lowest point. This home had caked on mud and rocks that had gathered in this point over the years. Now that grade will help the water flow and be pumped out safely.
Insulation is an important step to keep moisture out of your crawl space and help with your homes energy efficiency. At John's Waterproofing we are able to completely seal the crawl space off from the earth and add moisture protection with TerraBlock insulation. TerraBlock is a 3/4 in. thick and puncture-resistant foam that insulates and helps control the environment in the crawl space. The earth is naturally always cool and applying the TerraBlock helps to keep the temperatures the same year round so that your homes heating/cooling systems don't have to work as hard to keep up with the changing climates, which leads to lower energy bills. It is made of materials that won't rot or grow mold which helps to keep moisture out. It is installed along the crawl space floor and is cut to perfectly fit into each individual space. We seal the TerraBlock in the crawl space with 4 in. thick waterproof tape and anchor it to the base. This ensures that groundwater can't rise up over top the insulation and evaporate into the air causing higher humidity levels. Overall, insulating the crawl space floor is an important step for our encapsulation system to keep your home dry and healthy.
Our service team came out to do a service on this homeowners waterguard system. They decided that they wanted to upgrade their system and wondered if there was anything we could do to make the basement warmer. Now that it was dry they wanted to spend more time in there but it was still pretty chilly. We suggested our thermaldry wall system that acts as an insulation and reflects heat back into the basement. Now they have a dry and warm basement for years to come!
Partially done crawlspace was bothering customer, so they called us to finish it
This homeowner in King City had another company come out and work on their crawlspace and after a few years, a cable installer showed them photos of their crawlspace. They were disappointed to see the entire space covered in a thick and sloppy layer of spray foam insulation covering everything in their crawlspace.
Our crews came in and removed the old insulation and installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier and then applied the spray foam properly around the foundation of the space so that the homeowner and workers could still access the space and work when needed.
