Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Standing water in the crawlspace is never a good thing but when it is causing a muddy mess everywhere what do you do? This customer faced this problem when he discovered his crawlspace had standing water and it was causing damage to his vapor barrier. We had our inspector go out and see what we could do for them. We did a dry out of the crawlspace and then cleaned out the old muddy vapor barrier. We installed our Smart sump pump with a new drainage line to keep all future water out of the crawlspace. We put in a new 6 mil black plastic vapor barrier and now this customer will not have to worry about future water problems. 

Mud in the crawlspace makes for an inviting space for critters. To deter critters and keep a crawlspace dry and healthy, we offer crawlspace encapsulation. This project provides a huge upgrade for this homes, deters critters, lowers the home energy bills, and protects the home from water damage throughout the years! 

This homeowner was in search of a long-term solution. They had been replacing their simple 6 mil vapor barrier every few years and reattaching their old fiberglass when it fell or when it got too nasty. This was when they heard about encapsulation and were ready to see if it could protect their home. They reached out to John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection, eager to learn. 

Our home owners knew they had some water under their house when they called our office, but they had no idea the extent of their water issue. When our inspector Bob went through his inspection and showed them the photos they were shocked to see close to 4" of water hiding under the black visqueen. The thin black plastic had floated on top effectively hiding the severity of the problem. 

This homes foundation was cracked and leaking, causing issues in the Crawlspace. We did a full encapsulation to solve this water issue.
