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 homes crawl space was tall and the owners liked to use it for long term storage. After using the space for a few years they decided to check how things were holding up, only to discover it was nasty under their home. The vapor barrier was caked in mud and the space smelled foul. They called up John's Waterproofing after reading up about encapsulation, eager to learn how this could benefit their crawl space and make it healthy for them to continue using for a storage space. From our system fully sealing the space against outside elements, the 20 mil thick woven vapor barrier that is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears, to the dehumidifier that will protect the space from excess moisture in the air, the owners were sold! With the work all done, they can now happily enjoy and dry and healthy crawl space, made perfectly to ensure they can use the space for storage, and beneficially their home can be healthier. 

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.
