This crawlspace had water logged insulation, pooling water, and needed help. To solve this issue we installed a full drainage system to divert water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump and out and away from the foundation. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier.
After years of having to get the fiberglass insulation re-stapled up in their crawlspace, these homeowners were ready for a solution that made sense. They asked around and heard about Johns Crawlspace Encapsulation. After doing some research and meeting with a seasoned design specialist they were ready to move ahead! They enjoy how bright their crawlspace is, and are excited that it will truly insulate their homes foundation, effectively lowering their energy bills.
This homeowner knew that fiberglass absorbed water if left open to the elements. Trying to get around this, they attached a vapor barrier to the underside of their home, encasing the insulation. However water vapors still got in, and caused a mold issue. After having a mold company out, they were pointed to John's Waterproofing to keep the space dry and healthy with an encapsulation.
By installing The ThermalDry Wall System in this basement, we prevent moisture from seeping in and causing issues like smells, mold and rotting. When installed properly with WaterGuard it will also channel the water into the WaterGuard drain system and out of your basement. ThermalDry has a reflective surface along with bubble wrap like material to help reflect and keep heat in the basement keeping it dry and warm.
We installed Thermal Dry walls and our patented WaterGuard perimeter drain in this homeowner's basement. The before picture shows evidence of water intrusion under the floors and behind the baseboards. The after photo shows our Thermal Dry system preventing any water from getting to the drywall that will be installed after our systems are in place.
