Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Dead critters in the crawlspace show that critters are making their way in. This homeowner could smell the crawlspace from upstairs and wanted to clear the space out of the debris and intruders. After a full inspection with the homeowner and a sit down discussion about benefits, the homeowner chose to have a full encapsulation with TerraBlock, CleanSpace, TripleSafe Sump Pump, SaniDry Dehumidifier, and Spray Foam. The odor is now gone, and the homeowner is thrilled to know critters will be deterred from coming back. 

This home had their crawlspace for general storage. Because of this they layered vapor barriers over the dirt floor to add extra protection should the plastic tear while they moved through the space. While pools of water were not an issue, humidity was becoming a concern as their old fiberglass began to absorb water and droop. To ensure this space remained dry and healthy they called up John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation, making this space a much healthier storage room. 

Customer called due to water is pooling into crawl space 

This owner had a contractor doing some work in the crawl space. When they emerged, they let the owners know that there were signs of water damage present, specifically along the material with the fiberglass. They were referred over to John's Waterproofing to learn about options. To did a full inspection and than sat down to discuss what was happening, and we than worked on finding a repair plan that would fit their budget. We begin we had to clear the space out, removing the old vapor barrier, debris, and the fiberglass from the subfloor. Once cleared out, we spot treated for mold along the subfloor where the water had been held stagnant against the wood. We than dug a trench along the interior perimeter, within this we installed a perforated pipe within a silt sock. Groundwater will be able to accumulate within this and be direct to the lowest point. From there the water enters a TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the homes foundation through a discharge line, and out of a LawnScape outlet. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was laid out as the final step, we overlap the edges and anchor it into place to help protect the crawl space. 

This crawl space in Rickreall, Oregon had a dirty, torn vapor barrier and moisture issues. John's Waterproofing came in and installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system, keeping the crawl space dry and clean for years to come.
