Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawlspace was full of water and dirty as well as rodents. Our team came in and cleaned the debris and completely finished the space leaving him with a dry, usable and healthy crawlspace. 

Even though we really encourage a crawl space encapsulation we also know that it's not always achievable. This crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier replacement. The old one was muddy from water coming in and not protecting the home like it was supposed to. We did a traditional black plastic replacement and what a difference. You can see when we replaced it our crew made sure the vapor barrier went up the foundation wall and made sure the protection was there. The homeowner was very pleased to have it done. 

This home had a hillside crawlspace, that included some poured flat spaces. The homeowners wanted to utilize this for storage space, but they knew any water intrusion could cause damage, so they called up John's Waterproofing for encapsulation! 

Having the entrance to the crawl space outside can be a good and bad thing. Good so that you don't have to worry about smells crawling up into your closet. But, it can also be a bad thing if its outside and it isn't tightly sealed. These entrances are optimal spots for rodents to get under your home and tear up your vapor barrier. It also can cause water to have easy access into the crawl space and cause mold to grow and the wooden posts to rot. Luckily, at John's Waterproofing one of our products that we offer is the Turtl. This is a crawl space entry system that helps to keep it dry, clean, and healthy. It is made of materials that are resistant to the outdoor elements so that mold and rot can't occur on it. The system offers an airtight seal that prevents water or debris from getting inside. A lot of homeowners feel safer with the Turtl because it can lock and offer a sense of security that a normal crawl space entrance can't. So, when your thinking about upgrading your crawl space in the future, be sure it will stay healthy by installing the Turtl entry system.

This customer called needing her house posts replaced in the crawlspace. We replaced them with our inorganic smart posts that will never rust, break down, or rot like traditional posts.
