Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homes heating and cooling costs were high, and the homeowner knew their poorly insulated crawl space added to this. They had replaced and reattached the fiberglass a few times over the years, but it would droop and fall again. They were ready to find a solution that would actually last, and they were ready to invest so they could save in the long run. To do this, they called up John's Waterproofing to learn about encapsulation. Our system uses TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor and Spray Foam along the walls to provide lasting insulation to the crawl space. 

This homeowner knew they had repeat rodent issues and the smell of mold was in the crawl space. They wanted to issues solved, not just temporarily, but with real solutions. So they called up John's Waterproofing, they had heard good things about encapsulation from a neighbor and were eager to learn more. After a full inspection and having their questions answered, they were ready to move forward! 

This home's crawlspaces old vapor barrier was not installed properly and the water had been pooling under it, on it, and the moisture was being absorbed by the old fiberglass insulation. This passageway under the home had the old wooden frame rotting under the vapor barrier. To address this waterproofing issue we installed our dimpled drainage matting, insulated it with TerraBlock, and then sealed it all in with Cleanspace. The after photo here is from the work-in-progress stage, showing the layers that go into this encapsulation. 

This homes crawlspace had fallen to disrepair. They had to have pest control out to rid the space of critters and were referred to John's for the best preventative work; encapsulation. We cleaned out the space and brought in the material to have this space dry and healthy. 

This crawlspace had standing water throughout the whole space, making it a muddy mess. We came in and dried it out and installed CleanSpace, a smartsump sump pump, a sanidry dehumidifier and added spray foam insulation for added energy efficiency. This homeowner will now have a dry crawlspace while saving money on energy costs for years to come.
