Home Improvement Contractor in Dallesport, WA

This home's basement had some leaking spots. The homeowners had marked on the floor where these spots showed up and could tell they were getting worse over the years. Wanting to address the problem now instead of later, they called John's Waterproofing to hear about waterproofing solutions to fit their home's needs. We scheduled a Design Specialist to perform a full inspection and help craft the solution for this home. 
To begin our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the home. Here we installed a bed of gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect the groundwater and send it to the lowest point of the basement. From here it is pumped through the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump to be dispelled out and away from the home. We then installed our BrightWall panels along the walls, this ensures any moisture from the walls will be safely guided down into the drainage system. These panels provide a semi-finished look and will not mold or mildew! As a final step, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the humidity within a healthy range.  

Years had gone by since this homes crawl space had been inspected. Since then, the heating and cooling costs for the home had increased. To begin, the homeowners thought it was just based off of inflation and was unavoidable. However, after mentioning it to neighbors, they learned their bills had gone up more than others. Unsure as to why, they glanced under their home and saw the old fiberglass was hanging by threads. They researched online if that was normal and learned that fiberglass does droop and fall in a crawl space, and quickly loses its insulation value. To keep the space insulated, an encapsulation was needed. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled their inspection. 

To begin this project, our crew cleared out the old fiberglass, damaged vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a full drainage system to ensure water wouldn't be an issue, this takes the groundwater to the low point where a sump pump then sends it away from the foundation. Next TerraBlock insulation was laid over the dirt floor, vents sealed shut, and CleanSpace installed. This goes under every wooden post, anchors to the walls, and is fully sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier is installed, and Spray Foam insulation applied to the foundation walls. The homeowner looks forward to their heating and cooling costs going down! 

They basement had some hairlines cracks in the foundation walls. When heavy rains came along, water would enter the basement in these areas. The homeowners hadn't thought much about it, but as the years went by, water deposits were leaving discoloration in these spots. The homeowners looked online, and called up John's Waterproofing to get a full inspection for their home. The design specialist recommended the downspouts as well as the basement be addressed to protect the water from damage. 

To begin, the installation crew addressed the downspouts. Each downspout was extended into the ground where we installed a drainage system to divert the roof water safely out and away from the homes foundation. We then went to the basement. Using a jackhammer, a trench was made along the interior perimeter. Here we installed WaterGuard drainage, graded along to a TripleSafe sump pump. From the pump, water is sent safely away. The walls were then covered with a semi-finished BrightWall paneling. These will guide any wall moisture to the WaterGuard drain system to be addressed. The drain system is then covered over, created a nice smooth finish over the drain system. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space from having an possible issues with mold spores. This basement is now dry and healthy!

This older home had damp walls in the basement.  The homeowners had dealt with this,  thinking it was normal for water to get in.  And while it is normal, it is also unhealthy for your homes air and the homes longevity. After seeing John's Waterproofing at a local home show,  the homeowners were ready to see what a healthy basement could be. They called us up and set up their free inspection and estimate. 

To address the water issue,  we began be digging a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we installed a WaterGuard drainage system in a gravel bed. This has a BrightWall system installed on the foundation walls.  This brightens the space,  will not mold, and directs any wall moisture down into the drain system. The drain system naturally grades the collected water to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump,  from here the water is diverted out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet.  We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure this space remains dry and healthy.  

This new house was getting near completion, the walls were up, and just final touches were being added. While the crawlspace had a generic 6 Mil vapor barrier installed it couldn't keep the water at bay, causing the home to flood when a big rainstorm hit. The homeowners wanted to know why this was happening and wanting to protect their home, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

To begin our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, along with proper discharge. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. This aids in insulating the crawlspace and protects the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to ensure this crawlspace and, therefore the home, stayed dry and healthy. With all the vents sealed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home properly insulated. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay comfortable while reducing their utility bills.

The crawlspace of this home had water seeping up from the dirt floor in the lower portions. This created some slippery and muddy places under the home and was concerned about the possibility of mold spores taking hold. To get waterproofing help, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by removing debris from the crawlspace, the crew then evened out the dirt floor to minimize divots and high places under the home. With a more even terrain, they installed a SmartSump pump to collect groundwater and divert it a safe distance away from the foundation of the home. The crawlspace was then covered in a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help keep water from damaging the home. 

This homes basement was primarily used for storage space and had a good amount of cardboard boxes that were stacked up. When moving some boxes around they discovered some signs of mold growth on some of the cardboard. They wanted to protect their basement and the items they kept down there, so they needed a solution that would waterproof their basement thoroughly. 

For this project, our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter and installed our WaterGuard drainage system. This will collect all the other and divert it to the newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump we installed that will take the water out and away from the homes foundation. To keep water from seeping through the walls into the basement we installed our BrightWall Basement Wall Coverings which is a durable, washable, and non-organic paneling. This will make it so that mold growth and rot cannot ruin the system, and will keep humidity and water vapor from passing into the basement. We Also installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to ensure that the humidity levels were kept at the ideal levels. 

The homeowners were excited to get to put their storage back and know it would be protected from water. 

We received a call from a homeowner who had frustrations and complaints of a wet basement. Our crews went out to the home to help. They installed WaterGuard piping system along the perimeter of the basement to intercept water coming into the basement and drains it unseen and safely away to the sump pump. They also installed an UltraSump sump pump in the basement. The UltraSump has a battery operated backup pump in case of power outages, primary pump failure, circuit breakers tripping or the pump becoming unplugged. Now This homeowner can enjoy his dry basement for years to come.
