Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawlspace was wet with a torn vapor barrier and was unsightly in addition to being a source of heat loss, and unhealthy air for the homeowners. 

Our team encapsulated the crawlspace and installed our dehumidifier system to ensure water and moisture would never be and issue again.

The crawlspace of this home had a section dug out to allow for an easy-to-walk space when checking under the home. There was a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier installed to help with water issues. However, this acted as a trench for the water and since the barrier wasn't secured the water just pushed on top of this and brought dirt and debris with it. To stop this issue from persisting we waterproofed this crawlspace with our Cleanspace vapor barrier and added in a TripleSafe sump pump to successfully divert the water away from the home. 

This homes crawlspace had been cleared of critters, but a mess of debris was left over. The homeowners wanted to keep critters from coming back and didn't want the debris to leave their air quality low, so they called up John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation. 

John's Waterproofing came to this home in Fall Creek to make it healthy and energy efficient. Our solution for this crawlspace was our CleanSpace encapsulation system. This 20-mil thick vapor barrier significantly outperforms the easy to tear 6-mil liners that are commonly used as vapor barriers. CleanSpace can slow or block harmful gasses such as radon and protects the home from dust and allergens while also waterproofing the crawlspace. It acts as an insulation barrier as well and makes a difference of 10 degrees compared to common vapor barriers.

This crawlspace was damp, to say the least. During the initial inspection, there was mud in some areas and tiny puddles. When our crew began digging to install the trench drain it became apparent just how much water the soil was holding. Our homeowner went all out and has not had a water issue since.
