Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner called up John's Waterproofing because they had seen water in their crawlspace. They began looking up what water could mean for a basements health and knew they wanted to protect their home. They called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection and to learn about encapsulation and how it would help keep their home dry and healthy.

This homeowner never knew why she could smell an earthy musty smell in her home. She saw our ad and decided to call us for an inspection. Our design specialist recommended a crawl space encapsulation with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our crew installed our 20 mils thick CleanSpace vapor barrier that is rip-resistant and prevents mold growth. After getting an encapsulation the homeowner couldn't smell that musty smell anymore. She also said there was a noticeable difference in temperature of the home.  

This homes old vapor barrier was no longer doing its job. Moisture had pushed its way in absorbed into the old fiberglass insulation and caked mud had overtaken the barrier. To solve this we did a full crawlspace encapsulation with insulation made for a crawlspace to ensure the home would stay dry and healthy. 

Fiberglass insulation absorbs the moisture from the air, and this causes it to loose its 'r' insulation value and droop away from the rafters in a crawlspace. This crawlspace had a mess in their crawlspace from falling insulation and a dirty vapor barrier. To solve these issues, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. We pulled out these water damaged items and installed a full waterproofing system. 

This crawlspace was a barrage of pipes and vents and wires all residing in a wet and swampy mess. Our team went in and installed a full perimeter drain, a dehumidifier and full encapsulated the space under the home. This sealed space now promotes better air quality and improved energy efficiency for the homeowners.
