Premier Home Improvement Contractor Serving Brothers, OR

This home had been dealing with some critters in the crawl space. They had set out traps, but these would need to be cleaned out and reset to keep it working. Tired of dealing with this, the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing to learn how encapsulation would seal up the space and deter critters from getting in.

To begin we clear the space out, removing the old 6 mil vapor barrier and debris. We then install a SmartSump as a back up should it be needed. The vents were sealed shut. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the floors and our CleanSpace 20 Mil vapor barrier installed. This woven material deters critters from chewing through, it goes under each wooden post, anchors and seals along the foundation and each seam is sealed. A SaniDry dehumidifier is installed and an Everlast doorway which critters cant chew through was installed. We then finished off by air sealing the space with spray foam. Now the crawl space will deter critters from entering and the homeowners can enjoy some peace of mind. 

With creepy crawlies in this homes crawl space, it was a mess. From cobwebs and dead bugs, to the spiders that would crawl into the home through the HVAC vents, the homeowners were sick of it. They had a pest control company out, and the problem was addressed. But without a system in place to deter bugs, they would come back. For this step, John's Waterproofing was called upon. We removed the old 6 Mil vapor barrier and sealed the exterior vents shut. We then laid in TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace. This is sealed into place along every edge to block out bugs and any moisture. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space healthy, and applied spray foam along the walls. This both insulates and air seals so bugs cant get in through the foundation walls. This homes crawl space will now deter bugs from coming back. 

This older building had been battling some unwanted critters in the crawl space. The homeowners had pest removal companies out on a few locations and had replaced crawl space vent screens and the exterior entrance as they kept on getting chewed up. After dealing with this on a few occasions, it was time to look at bigger solutions. This is how the homeowners stumbled upon John's Waterproofing encapsulation. This system will deter critters from getting under the home. The homeowners called us up to schedule their inspection and learn more. 

To begin, we cleared the crawlspace out. The area didn't deal with much water, so no drainage system needed, just a SmartSump as an emergency backup. We then laid down a TerraBlock insulation and closed all of the vents off. We then used CleanSpace, which has a woven fiber through it, making it difficult for animals to chew through. This goes under each wooden post, anchors along the rim joist, and is fully sealed into place. We then air sealed the foundations walls with spray foam to ensure no space for a critter would be found here and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space healthy. A new EverLast doorway was installed for the exterior entrance, and the homeowners are excited to have their home all taken care of. 

Odd odors were coming up and into this home. Upon investigation, the homeowners searched and found the crawlspace littered with chew marks on the old vapor barrier and droppings. They had pest control come out and clear the space, but they still needed a way to deter critters from coming back. They searched online and learned about John's Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist, and after a full inspection, we crafted a solution. 

To begin, our crew cleared out the crawlspace of all debris and the old, damaged vapor barrier. We then sealed up the vents and laid down TerraBlock insulation over the floor. We then encased the space with CleanSpace, a 20-mil thick woven barrier. The woven fibers deter critters from chewing on the material and come with twenty-five years against rips and tears. The walls were then insulated with Spray Foam, and we installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to help make this space unwelcoming to critters in the future. 

This homeowner called us after they had an exterminator out to their home. They had a bug issue in their crawlspace. While the issue had been handled, they were informed that a great way to prevent critters from coming back is to make the crawlspace an unwelcome environment for them. To do this, the exterminator suggested a crawlspace encapsulation with John's Waterproofing. Our system designed came out to perform a full inspection and crafted a solution to suit the homes needs. 

To begin our crew removed the general debris from under the home. We then installed TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor. We followed up with CleanSpace. This 20 mil vapor barrier is woven and comes with a warranty against rips and tears. It is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the foundation walls, and fully sealed into place. Each vent was then sealed up and our spray foam specialist came out a few days later to apply spray foam to the foundation walls. This home will now have a crawlspace that critters will not want to live in and the home will be healthy! 

These homeowners went to check under their home after heavy rain and discovered six inches of water standing throughout the crawlspace. The homeowners were worried about the damage being done to the old fiberglass insulation and what it could do to the floors of their home and called John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our crew arrived and began by removing the debris from under the home and this included removing the old and damaged insulation that was falling apart due to the water weight. Before we could properly waterproof we had to do a dry out with sump pumps and large fans for a few weeks until we could properly address the crawlspaces needs. We then installed a perforated pipe drain system around the interior perimeter and a SuperSump Plus to collect groundwater and push it out and away from the foundation of the home. A new 6 mil polypropylene vapor barrier was installed over the crawlspace floor and fastened to the foundation walls to keep this space dry.

This home had an issue with critters living in their crawlspace. With over fifty percent of the air in the home drafting up from the crawlspace, the homeowners could smell the signs of critters and wanted to protect their home. To begin they called up an exterminator to clear out the space, they were then referred to John's Waterproofing to encapsulate the space to prevent critters from inhabiting the space again. 

Our installation crew began by removing the debris from under the home. We then laid down a layer of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is inserted under each wooden post, it was anchored up along the joist of the foundation walls and fully sealed up with a special four-inch thick waterproof tape. The foundations were air sealed with spray foam to ensure no critters would be making their way back into the space. We then upgraded each vent cover and the entryway to ensure they were fully sealed up. The homeowners were glad their home now smells fresh and clean. 

This homes crawlspace had chew marks on the old vent covers. When the homeowners looked under the home they discovered traces of vermin that had been living under their home. Worried that the critters would take over, they called John's Waterproofing to make sure that the critters would stay out! 

Our crew began by clearing out the debris under the home. If this issue was an infestation, then the homeowners would have needed pest control, but since it was a small issue that appeared recent we were happy to set up the house to prevent critters. We sealed the dirt of the crawlspace with our Cleanspace woven vapor barrier. This is a 20 Mil thick material that is protected for twenty-five years with our ripe and tear resistant warranty. Once that was sealed into place we installed new vent covers. The homeowners can rest easy that their crawlspace is taken care of now!

A customer called John's Waterproofing after multiple attempts to stop the water leaking into their basement. The customer had tried many different methods, installing their own sump pump, painting the basement with waterproof paint and trying to dig trenches around the home all by themselves. Finally, the customer had given up and called us.

Our inspector came out the next day to look at the basement, he quickly identified where the water was coming into the basement and offered a solution, along with the cost. The solution he offered made sense to the homeowners so they went ahead and scheduled the work ASAP. Our crew was out there within the week and started on the job.

To waterproof this basement for good, we installed a number of products. One was our perimeter WaterGuard system. A full perimeter drain system has a lifetime warranty on it. Along with the Waterguard system was a Triplesafe sump pump. This pump is top of the line and our inspector knew it would be the best choice to install to keep up with the amount of water that was coming into this home's basement. Our crew then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, another top of the line product that helps keep the moisture out of the basement and cleans the air. To top off the system they also installed CleanSpace wall system in the basement which acts as a vapor barrier on the basement walls and channels any water seeping in through the walls down to the WaterGuard system. All of these products working together can ensure this homeowner that they will have a dry basement for years to come.
