Locally Preferred Basement Waterproofing in Deschutes County, OR

This homeowner reached out because they were concerned about their existing torn vapor barrier, and wanted to address the several leaks in their crawlspace and future prevention. Our inspector, suggested our patented CleanSpace Encapsulation. 

The team swiftly began the project and installed the new system which completely separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry. The team then installed the SmartSump crawlspace system that is specifically designed for crawl spaces and provides all necessary protection from leaks. They also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier which is an effective moisture control strategy that improves energy efficiency and creates healthier air quality.

Once the project was finished the homeowners now have a healthy and happy home, without concerns about outdoor issues affecting the foundation of their house.

After receiving a call from a homeowner in Sisters, Oregon about a wet crawlspace, our crews went to help fix the problem. Our team removed debris from the crawlspace and then installed Terra Block underneath the CleanSpace encapsulation system to add extra insulation and padding. CleanSpace will not only keep out water vapors from entering the crawlspace but also help keep the heating costs down by keeping the floors warmer. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also put in the crawlspace to dry and filter the air, getting rid of damp or musty odors that may travel into the rest of the house. The customer and our team agreed that a SmartDrain plumbing leak system would be important to have in the crawlspace as well. Never again will the homeowner have to worry about plumbing leaks going unnoticed and possibly causing serious damage to their home. Th SmartDrain system not only alerts the homeowner of a leak but also drains away the water until the leak can be fixed. The customer can now rest easy about their dry crawlspace and overall health of their home.

A customer called John's Waterproofing after multiple attempts to stop the water leaking into their basement. The customer had tried many different methods, installing their own sump pump, painting the basement with waterproof paint and trying to dig trenches around the home all by themselves. Finally, the customer had given up and called us.

Our inspector came out the next day to look at the basement, he quickly identified where the water was coming into the basement and offered a solution, along with the cost. The solution he offered made sense to the homeowners so they went ahead and scheduled the work ASAP. Our crew was out there within the week and started on the job.

To waterproof this basement for good, we installed a number of products. One was our perimeter WaterGuard system. A full perimeter drain system has a lifetime warranty on it. Along with the Waterguard system was a Triplesafe sump pump. This pump is top of the line and our inspector knew it would be the best choice to install to keep up with the amount of water that was coming into this home's basement. Our crew then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, another top of the line product that helps keep the moisture out of the basement and cleans the air. To top off the system they also installed CleanSpace wall system in the basement which acts as a vapor barrier on the basement walls and channels any water seeping in through the walls down to the WaterGuard system. All of these products working together can ensure this homeowner that they will have a dry basement for years to come.

This homeowner called John's Waterproofing because he had water in some areas of his crawlspace. Our inspector, Vince suggested installing a Smart Sump and Triple Safe Sump pump to manage the water issues.

Delfino and his team installed a Smart Sump which is easily installed with a Cleanspace vapor barrier. It has an alarm system that will alert the homeowner of a plumbing leak. They also installed a Triple Safe sump pump, the most reliable three pump system that automatically adjusts to meet pumping requirements. Dean also opted for a 6 mil plastic vapor barrier with his sump pumps that the team also installed.

Dean now has less concern for water issues in his crawlspace.

This homeowner had various issues in her crawlspace and sought help from John's Waterproofing. Our wonderful inspector, Jack recommended that for her crawlspace, we install our patented Cleanspace encapsulation system, a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and a Super Sump sump pump.

Delfino and his team started the waterproofing project by installing our Cleanspace encapsulation system. It comes with a 25-year warranty and protects the crawlspace from moisture, humidity, cold drafts, mold and mildew growth while leaving it looking beautiful and clean. The team installed a high-performance SaniDry dehumidifier that is designed to keep the crawlspace dry. They also set in a Super Sump sump pump that quietly and smoothly removes excess water from the crawlspace.

Carol is happy with her new system and is glad that the crawlspace is drier, healthier, and waterproof.

Over time moisture had been getting into this customers crawlspace causing a huge issue. Mold had started to grow all over the crawlspace. Since up to 50% of the air you breathe comes from your crawlspace, he decided to give us a call for an inspection. 

Our inspector Vincent went out to check the crawlspace and come up with a plan to fix the problem. He recommended that we do a crawlspace encapsulation with our CleanSpace system. First, we would take care of all the mold with our Mold X2 cleaner that not only kills all the mold but removes the stains left behind.  We would install our TripleSafe sump pump that has three levels of pumps to ensure any water issues moving forward would be covered, and it also has a WaterWatch Alarm that will alert you if the water rises above the range to prevent damage. Paired with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and air filtration to keep the humidity down, mold and moisture cannot form. Encapsulated with our Cleanspace barrier and a new downspout for water to drain far away from the building water will never be an issue. 

Our customer was eager to have Delfino and his crew get started on his crawlspace. He now doesn't have to worry about water and moisture causing issues in his crawlspace and peace of mind knowing there is no more mold. 

The homeowner noticed a damp and musty smell would take over the home after every heavy rain. Unsure of what the issue was, they found that waterproofing could provide a solution. When our design specialist arrived, they learned that the crawlspaces humidity levels were very high and that the old insulation was falling down since it had gotten water saturated over the years. 

The homeowner did not wish to deal with any issues in their crawlspace and they chose to encapsulate their crawlspace. Our crew removed the old materials and cleaned out the area. We installed a Smart Drain Sump Pump and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to combat the water issues. Together these will tackle the humidity that is in the air, as well as direct any ground water out and away from the home. We then laid down our Cleanspace Barrier which is a 20 Mil think tear resistant material to keep the crawlspace safe and dry. The Cleanspace was properly sealed under each post and along all walls so that it was fully sealed. We changed out the vent covers and also added an EverLast door, that way every entrance to the crawlspace would be able to be sealed tightly and fit. This crawlspace is ready for anything! The homeowner is very pleased that no more smells will enter their home and can rest easy knowing their home is safe from water damage. 

The Homeowners just purchased their home and wanted to redo some of the interior before moving in. The removed the old wood stove, and ripped up all the old carpeting, and that was when they discovered that the floor was sagging, especially in the spot where the old stove had been. The crawlspace never had additional support put in to be able to handle the weight. Over the years the moisture had seeped into the floorboards and the weight of the wood stove escalated the issue. With the carpet, this was difficult to see, but with the space bare, it was blatantly obvious. 

To protect this house we started by going in and removing all the old debris. Our experts then added in SmartJacks to the sagging floors so that the homeowners wouldn't have to worry about the homes floors giving out. We then added in a new 20 Mil Plastic Vapor Barrier that is tear resistant and sealed it along the interior of the crawlspace, securely inserting it under each post so no water or moisture could creep into the woodwork. 

This home in La Pine had regular snow and ice in the Winter, and when it melted, there would be some pooling around the foundation of their home. After years of this, the homeowners noticed a musty smell drafting from their crawlspace. Upon inspection, they found drooping fiberglass insulation and evidence of mud and dirt all over their old vapor barrier. Apparently the old system was not up for the job at hand and was allowing a good amount of moisture and water build up under the home causing damage to the foundation. They knew that this was creating unhealthy air in their home and could lead to serious foundation issues, so they called John's Waterproofing.

Our inspector quickly put together a plan of action. Our install crews removed the damaged insulation, old vapor barrier, and all the debris from the crawlspace. They then installed a TripleSafe sump pump, capable of pumping out 6200 gallons of water per hour. This would be able to handle the amount of runoff created when the snow and ice melted and would direct all of the water out and away from the home. A layer of drainage matting was laid out to direct water towards the pump. We then installed our TerraBlock insulation barrier to help keep water our and heat in. To top this off, a layer of Cleanspace, a 20 Mil weaved barrier, was secured to the entire crawlspace floor, isolating the posts and connecting along the concrete walls and the SilverGlo wall insulation. To finish encapsulating the space we added in new vent covers and a new crawlspace entrance door. This property is prepared and ready to take on the PNW weather!

This homes crawlspace had chew marks on the old vent covers. When the homeowners looked under the home they discovered traces of vermin that had been living under their home. Worried that the critters would take over, they called John's Waterproofing to make sure that the critters would stay out! 

Our crew began by clearing out the debris under the home. If this issue was an infestation, then the homeowners would have needed pest control, but since it was a small issue that appeared recent we were happy to set up the house to prevent critters. We sealed the dirt of the crawlspace with our Cleanspace woven vapor barrier. This is a 20 Mil thick material that is protected for twenty-five years with our ripe and tear resistant warranty. Once that was sealed into place we installed new vent covers. The homeowners can rest easy that their crawlspace is taken care of now!

This cottage had been built in the early 1900s and as the years passed the foundation has settled, leaving the crawlspace cramped and difficult to maneuver through. While unable to examine the entire underside, the homeowners know that water damage is present as a musty and damp smell permeates from the crawlspace. To have a thorough understanding of the extent of the issue, the homeowners called out John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by doing a dig out to make the crawlspace accessible. We dug out an average of 13 inches throughout the area to make it easy for the crew to move. From water damage, we ended up installing 11 SmartJacks to reinforce the home's structural integrity and prevent the home from experiencing sloped flooring in the more damaged portion. We then installed a SmartSump pump to divert all groundwater out and away from the home. Each post was then isolated with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and the entire area had Cleanspace secured to protect against water intrusion. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to control moisture levels.  

This home had experienced very high heating costs during the Winter season. Looking to save money, they turned to their crawlspace to look for a solution. 

Our crew came out and began by cleaning out the crawlspace. Our TerraBlock crawlspace insulation was laid out on the floor to help maintain a warmer temperature. The crawlspace walls were then covered with our SilverGlo panels. Each post was then isolated with our CleanSpace vapor barrier which encased the entire crawlspace flooring and against the walls. New vent covers were then added in and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The homeowners quickly saw their energy bills lower, and their home was more comfortable year-round. 

Snow can be fun and exciting, but the melt that follows can bring a lot of water in a short amount of time. This home was dealing with an overflow of water every year as the melt would run past their home, flooding their crawlspace. As the years went by, this caused a lot of damage to this space including drooping, water-heavy fiberglass insulation, and mud caked on their old vapor barrier and around the foundation posts. Worried about the long-term damage that was ensuing, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew began by doing a thorough cleanup, removing all of the old insulation, removing the vapor barrier, as well as all debris from under the house.  With a clean slate, we began by installing a perforated pipe around the interior parameter that would collect groundwater and divert it to a newly installed SmartSump pump. This then pushed all water out and away from the house. We then laid down TerraBlock crawlspace insulation and sealed the space with our Cleanspace vapor barrier. This is anchored into the foundation walls and under each post for secure waterproofing. The foundation walls were then insulated with spray foam and we added in some new vent covers. The homeowners were very excited to see the difference with the snowmelt comes this year. Here's to a dry and healthy home! 

High levels of water need a direction to flow, and when a house is built, the upturned soil creates a less dense space for water to travel, often causing water to pool under a home. This house was recently built and that softer soil was creating a pathway for water to seep through the dirt flooring of this crawlspace. To protect the home, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by burying a three-inch perforated pipe around the interior parameter of the space, this would collect the groundwater and divert it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water is directed along a forty-foot pipe out and away from the house to a LawnScape outlet. The dirt floor was then covered in a 6 Mil vapor barrier. 

If your home's old vapor barrier has water coming over the top of it, then it isn't doing all of the work it should. This home was experiencing more water intrusion than a simple vapor barrier could stop, so it had water puddling on it, with some mold spores evident on the lower portions of the wooden posts. 

To address this issue we began by removing the old vapor barrier. With the space cleaned out, we used Mold X to remediate the mold issue that was starting to take hold. We then installed a drainage system to keep the groundwater under control. This included a three-inch perforated pipe system that collected water throughout the crawlspace and directs the water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, then pushed the water out and away from the home. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier to help protect the home. This crawlspace will now be prepared for water, and keep the home dry and healthy. 

This home had significant amounts of water that had soaked up into the fiberglass insulation. Each year when the snow and ice melted, this crawlspace would take on a lot of water. With the melt-off coming down the hill, it led to high water levels which soaked up into the insulation, leading to this falling down in pieces. Due to the falling fiberglass, this crawlspace was difficult to maneuver through.

To begin we removed the old fiberglass insulation and debris from under this home. Then a 3" perf-pipe drain system was done around the perimeter and graded to a new Sump system. Then Terra Block was laid throughout and all posts were isolated with our 20 mil vapor barrier the barrier was laid out in the crawlspace and sealed with special 4" tape at all seams; SilverGlo was installed along the walls with spray foam to air seal the space. As another layer of protection, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to truly keep this home dry and healthy. 

Uneven, creaky floors and doors that won't close and cracks in the drywall are enough to alert any homeowner that something is seriously going wrong. This home in the high desert of Oregon didn't have a water problem but structurally it was being undermined by the sandy soil it was built on.  The homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing and was pleasantly surprised to learn we serviced the area.  

Our trained salesperson found that, because it was slowly sinking the home needed extensive reinforcement. The 94 ft main beam in the home was cracked in several places due to the post supports failing.  The solution was a new beam and 24 new SmartJacks to support the home.  SmartJacks are adjustable and can be checked and adjusted.  Made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, they are made to last and protect your home for a long time.  Our trained crew was able to make the necessary repairs and restore the home to a level and stable condition. While not inexpensive, it was far less than having to rebuild.

A Crawlspace is easy to not think about, it can often be an 'out of mind' item for homeowners, and this is why it is important to have a good waterproofing system in place. This homeowner had a 6 Mil vapor barrier installed when they first moved in but hadn't given it another thought since. However, years down the road, they noticed their floor sagging in some portions of the home. When they checked under their home for any issues, they found water pooling on the old vapor barrier, and many of the wooden posts were soaked and soft to the touch along with the footings. To get help, they called in John's Waterpoofing. 

Our crew began by removing the old vapor barrier and cleaning up the debris in this space. They then installed 27 SmartJacks. This replaced the 14 wooden posts that were rotten, and the others added support where needed to enforce the structure of the home. Once the space was safe, we installed a SuperSump with an UltraSump pump backup. The dirt floor was then covered up with TerraBlock insulation. Each pier footing was then isolated with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The vapor barrier was also encased throughout the space, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed. Spray Foam was then sprayed along the walls to add insulation and create a water-tight seal. We then added new vent covers and an EverLast doorway to ensure the space is fully encapsulated, keeping this space dry and healthy. 

This home had an issue with critters living in their crawlspace. With over fifty percent of the air in the home drafting up from the crawlspace, the homeowners could smell the signs of critters and wanted to protect their home. To begin they called up an exterminator to clear out the space, they were then referred to John's Waterproofing to encapsulate the space to prevent critters from inhabiting the space again. 

Our installation crew began by removing the debris from under the home. We then laid down a layer of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is inserted under each wooden post, it was anchored up along the joist of the foundation walls and fully sealed up with a special four-inch thick waterproof tape. The foundations were air sealed with spray foam to ensure no critters would be making their way back into the space. We then upgraded each vent cover and the entryway to ensure they were fully sealed up. The homeowners were glad their home now smells fresh and clean. 

This homeowner suspected that some cleanup and repairs might be needed for her crawlspace so one of our Design Specialists was scheduled to go take a look.  Once there he thoroughly examined the crawlspace. After sitting with her and showing her pictures of the problems, including the mold that was growing on the beams, flooring, and the options available to her including encapsulation. The homeowner didn't hesitate to choose encapsulation for its advantages of permanently ridding the home of mold and improving the health for her family.

When our crew arrived, they got right to work and removed the damaged 6 mil vapor barrier, drooping 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, and then out and safely away from the foundation to a LawnScape outlet. When then laid down TerraBlock, a high-density foam insulation over the dirt floor. Next we installed CleanSpace, a 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this 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 insulated and keep the air clean and free of mold.

John's Waterproofing services a large area for its customers and will even entertain stretching the boundaries of that footprint for a travel fee. This job was over the mountain and down to Bend, OR. The homeowner was getting ready to list this home for sale and they preemptively hired a real estate inspector to ensure a smooth transaction. He discovered several issues in the crawlspace that would prevent the sale to go smoothly. A System Designer was sent out and confirmed that the crawlspace was in need of repair. There was water in the crawlspace and the fiberglass insulation was falling from the floor above. The old vapor barrier was pushed out of place in many areas and dirty. The homeowner was presented with a bid that included John's special Real Estate discount pricing that was accepted right away.

The crew was sent over the mountain weeks later. The old barrier, hanging insulation, and all other debris were removed from the crawlspace. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump pump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the new drainage system. The owners were happy and thrilled with the the great warranty we include to pass on to the new owners!

This homeowner suspected that some cleanup and repairs might be needed for her crawlspace so one of our Design Specialists was scheduled to go take a look. Once there, he thoroughly examined the crawlspace and shared his findings with the homeowner. After sitting with her and sharing the options, the homeowner chose a full crawlspace encapsulation for its advantages in health and more, so the job was scheduled.

Our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier, drooping 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 protecting the new CleanSpace, 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is also used to isolate each wooden post from any moisture and all seams were sealed up and anchored to the foundation walls. Lastly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure this 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 insulated and keep the air clean and free of mold.

This new homeowner was suffering from breathing problems after moving into their new home and suspected mold was growing in the crawlspace. To asses the space, she contacted John's Waterproofing. A highly trained System Designer was dispatched to the address to do a full assessment of the situation where he did, indeed, find mold growing on the beams and flooring above.  He also discovered a rodent infestation. They had destroyed the old fiberglass insulation and left their droppings everywhere. He was able to show the homeowner his findings through the many photos he took as well as the evidence of persistent water intrusion. He measured the crawlspace and presented the homeowner with a proposal and explained the warranty offered. The homeowner was impressed, signed the proposal and work was scheduled. 

A crew was dispatched to the home a few weeks later. In the crawlspace, the old barrier and moldy insulation were removed followed by an application of MoldX2 to kill the mold that was attaching itself to the wood. A 3" perforated pipe drain system was then installed around the perimeter and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where a SuperSump was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. The crew then installed a new 6mil plastic barrier on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the drainage system. The family also purchased a SaniDryXP dehumidifier for the home to help keep the air clean and healthy.

These homeowners went to check under their home after heavy rain and discovered six inches of water standing throughout the crawlspace. The homeowners were worried about the damage being done to the old fiberglass insulation and what it could do to the floors of their home and called John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our crew arrived and began by removing the debris from under the home and this included removing the old and damaged insulation that was falling apart due to the water weight. Before we could properly waterproof we had to do a dry out with sump pumps and large fans for a few weeks until we could properly address the crawlspaces needs. We then installed a perforated pipe drain system around the interior perimeter and a SuperSump Plus to collect groundwater and push it out and away from the foundation of the home. A new 6 mil polypropylene vapor barrier was installed over the crawlspace floor and fastened to the foundation walls to keep this space dry.

This was a very tall crawlspace and the homeowner knew there was a water intrusion issue. What they didn't realize, was that they had a significant mold problem as well. The inspector pointed out how toxic this was to the family and especially the young children in the home. Most children under the age of 10 are highly allergic to mold. It also causes breathing problems in many adults. He explained that, although there are products that can kill and remove the signs of mold, they are only a temporary fix, and usually the mold returns within 3-6 months.  Encapsulation was the ONLY way to permanently remove and keep the mold away. They didn't hesitate to accept the proposal for the encapsulation. 

Later, our experienced installers came out and removed all of the debris, old insulation, and vapor barrier.  A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe system at the low point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor to aid insulation and also protect the CleanSpace barrier.  All the vents were sealed and the posts isolated. The 20mil nylon-reinforced CleanSpace barrier was installed and fully sealed up. It was run up the walls and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to kill the existing mold and prevent mold regrowth. The SaniDry also filters out dust mites, dust, and pollen.  A single cell spray foam was applied to the rim joist and foundation walls to bring the insulation to the required R factor. Now the homeowner has a clean and usable storage area and a cleaner and healthier home! He would also realize a reduction in his energy bills.

The homeowner was nearly finished with this beautiful home in Sisters, when they discovered a large amount of water in the crawlspace after a rainstorm. This was not something that was expected, so John's Waterproofing was called up for help. A System Designer traveled over the mountain to check out the situation. The homeowner was pumping out the water when he arrived so he was able to go into the crawlspace to inspect. He could see by the water line on the foundation that the crawlspace had roughly 8 inches of water at the peak of the flooding. He measured the space and sat with the homeowner and put together a proposal on his computer that would take care of the problem. The homeowner didn't want this new home to be compromised so they chose to move forward with a full encapsulation solution. 

The crew arrived a few weeks later to do the work. They had very little debris to remove from the crawlspace and then they got to work digging a trench around the perimeter of the crawlspace to hold a 3" perforated pipe encased in a silt sock to gather the water. This system terminates at the lowest spot of the crawlspace to a new TripleSafe sump system. The sump discharged the water to a 60' line of drain pipe that was installed underground down the slope of the property, terminating at a LawnScape outlet so the water could safely run downhill. Next the crew laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. We then brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven vapor barrier is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and fully sealed into place. The vents were then sealed up, and a SaniDry dehumidifier is installed to control the moisture, preventing mold from being able to form. A few days later our spray foam specialist arrived to apply spray foam along the foundation walls to make this space fully insulated and lower the homes energy bills. 

This homeowner had fiberglass in their crawlspace to help insulate the home. They did annual checks on their crawlspace, and the fiberglass would need to be replaced almost every two years. The homeowners were annoyed with the frequency this needed to be done. They knew water was a leading cause in this damage and had tried a simple six mil vapor barrier. However, they noticed it quickly accrued mud over the top of it. In an effort to solve this issue, the homeowners searched online and learned about our crawlspace encapsulation system. They called up our offices for a full inspection and estimate for an encapsulation. 

To begin the project our installation crew removed the old vapor barrier, insulation, and general debris. They then began to dig a trench through the crawlspace and installed a three inch perforated pipe system in a silt sock to keep debris out. This system directs all water to a newly installed UltraSump pump plus. From here water is pushed away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. Next we installed insulation made to last in a crawlspace. TerraBlock was laid over the dirt floor and SilverGlo panels were anchored along the foundation walls. Next our crew air sealed the space and sealed up the vents. CleanSpace was then brought in, inserted under each wooden post, sealed against the walls, and taped into place with a specially crafted four inch waterproofing tape. This vapor barrier is 20 Mil thick and woven, backed with a twenty-five year warranty against rips and tears. As a final piece we brought in a SaniDry dehumidifier to help the air remain dry and healthy. 

This homeowner called us after they had an exterminator out to their home. They had a bug issue in their crawlspace. While the issue had been handled, they were informed that a great way to prevent critters from coming back is to make the crawlspace an unwelcome environment for them. To do this, the exterminator suggested a crawlspace encapsulation with John's Waterproofing. Our system designed came out to perform a full inspection and crafted a solution to suit the homes needs. 

To begin our crew removed the general debris from under the home. We then installed TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor. We followed up with CleanSpace. This 20 mil vapor barrier is woven and comes with a warranty against rips and tears. It is installed under each wooden post, anchored along the foundation walls, and fully sealed into place. Each vent was then sealed up and our spray foam specialist came out a few days later to apply spray foam to the foundation walls. This home will now have a crawlspace that critters will not want to live in and the home will be healthy! 

This homes crawlspace had destroyed old fiberglass insulation. It was falling into pieces, and the homeowners wanted to ensure the crawlspace was well insulated since their HVAC system was in this space. After doing some research online, the opted to check out crawlspace encapsulation so they could have a solution that was made to last. 

To begin helping, we removed the old fiberglass insulation and cleaned out the space. We then replaced the old exterior entrance and upgraded it to a EverLast doorway. The dirt floor was then insulated with TerraBlock insulation. Next came in our CleanSpace. This is inserted under each wooden post, attached along the rim joists, and sealed into place. We then sealed up each vent cover and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. As a final piece our spray foam installer came out a few weeks later to finish insulating the space. The homeowners are thrilled with how much brighter and cleaner their crawlspace looks and look forward to the energy savings they will experience. 

This homeowner was looking to start working towards a finished basement. They wanted to space to be livable, but knew that as is, they had a big moisture issue. After researching online, they knew waterproofing was the first step they would need to take. They called up John's Waterproofing and had a full inspection performed so they could talk about options. 

To make the project more budget friendly, they decided to start with waterproofing and get the space finished at a later time. To set up the space properly, we began by digging a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we installed a WaterGuard drainage system. The walls were then waterproofed and insulated with out ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier. This will direct any wall moisture to the drain system and keep the spaces temperature regulated, lowering the homes energy bills. The water in the drain system then grades along to a new TripleSafe sump pump to be discharge away from the home. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. This space is now waterproofed and will be ready to finish when the homeowners are ready!

Odd scuffling and odors were coming from the crawlspace. When checking what this was, the homeowners saw evidence that critters were present, and making a mess here. They called up pest control and were told to deter animals from coming back, the best thing was to encapsulate the space, and John's Waterproofing was recommended. We sent out a design specialist and worked with the homeowners to craft a solution for this home. 

To begin, our installation crew cleaned out the space. We a fresh crawlspace we installed a SmartSump in the lowest spot. This will ensure any water is collected and sent away from the homes foundation. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. The vents were all sealed up and CleanSpace was brought in. CleanSpace is woven and comes with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. CleanSpace is inserted under each wooden post, attached along the walls, and sealed into place. The space was then air sealed to make sure all nooks and crannies were secured against unwanted house guests. The homeowners are pleased with how fresh their home smells already and are happy to know their home is healthy! 

Odd odors were coming up and into this home. Upon investigation, the homeowners searched and found the crawlspace littered with chew marks on the old vapor barrier and droppings. They had pest control come out and clear the space, but they still needed a way to deter critters from coming back. They searched online and learned about John's Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist, and after a full inspection, we crafted a solution. 

To begin, our crew cleared out the crawlspace of all debris and the old, damaged vapor barrier. We then sealed up the vents and laid down TerraBlock insulation over the floor. We then encased the space with CleanSpace, a 20-mil thick woven barrier. The woven fibers deter critters from chewing on the material and come with twenty-five years against rips and tears. The walls were then insulated with Spray Foam, and we installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to help make this space unwelcoming to critters in the future. 

The fiberglass was falling in clumps in this homes crawlspace. Some portions of the insulation were still pretty full, but other sections were barely there. The inconsistency was felt in the living spaces above, with cold floors versus warm flooring, and ultimately higher heating and cooling bills. They had debated on installing new fiberglass but figured a free inspection and discussion about other options could be beneficial. After speaking with a design specialist, they knew they should change things up, and they moved forward with a full encapsulation to provide a solution to their crawlspace issues. 
To begin our crew pulled out the old fiberglass and debris from under the home. A SmartSump was installed and a Radon system was installed to combat the high radon levels that existed in neighboring homes. This homeowner opted out of getting a radon test and just opted to mitigate anyways. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the floor, and CleanSpace was brought in. This goes under each wooden post, anchors to the walls and is sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. This home will be ready for the highs and lows from the seasons, and the homeowners look forward to their savings. 

This homeowner wanted to get their cabins crawlspace addressed. The cabin was used during the warmer seasons, so they had always turned off and drained the homes pipes before the cold hit. However, the homeowner was now setting up his father to live in the cabin year-round. To ensure the pipes wouldn't burst due to the cold weather, they wanted the space to be properly insulated, and wanted an encapsulation.  They called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled their inspection and estimate, happy to learn more about encapsualtion and getting their project scheduled. 

To begin, our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier, debris, and falling fiberglass. We then installed a full perimeter drainage system under the home to collect groundwater, guide it to a TripleSafe sump pump, and out and away from the home. We then closed off the vents, laid in TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor, and brought in CleanSpace. This goes under each wooden post, attaches to the rim joist, and is sealed into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier is installed and the foundation walls are air sealed and insulated with spray foam insulation. The crawlspace is now in the homes envelope and insulated properly. 

When the ice and snow melts, this basement gets musty odors, and moisture can be found along the foundation walls. Wanting to protect their home for extensive water damage, they decided to schedule a free inspection. Upon inspection, we moved some items away from the walls and found mold was already growing in the home. To stop the mold and keep it from coming back we suggested a waterproofing system. The homeowner agreed, and we scheduled their installation. 

To begin the job our crew dug an interior perimeter drainage system. This consisted of a bed of gravel and WaterGuard that is graded to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here all water is sent out and away from the homes foundation. Since the walls had moisture on it, we then installed our BrightWall paneling. This will guide water to the drain system to be dealt with. It also will not mold, mildew or rot, and is easy to clean. As a final step we installed our SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space remains healthy and mold isn't able to grow here. 

This homes crawl space had water issues that had developed into mold problems. The homeowner had noticed their mold allergies begin acting up, and they wanted to keep their home healthy. They had a mold remediation company out to find and treat the mold, with the issue being found in the crawl space. Over 40% of the air in the living spaces, comes from under the home. The mold was addressed and treated, but if no preventative means were taken, the mold would only come back as the years progressed. To protect their home and health, they called up John's Waterproofing to learn about encapsulation and how it would help them. 

To begin on this project we removed the old vapor barrier, falling fiberglass, and general debris. With the mold already treated we were ready to encapsulate. To begin a full interior drainage system was installed to collect water and use a TripleSafe sump pump to pump the water away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor, and sealed the vents off. CleanSpace was then installed, going under each wooden post, anchoring to the walls, and sealed fully into place. To keep the air healthy we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and installed spray foam along the foundation walls. The home smells fresher and the homeowners allergies already seem to be much better. 

This older building had been battling some unwanted critters in the crawl space. The homeowners had pest removal companies out on a few locations and had replaced crawl space vent screens and the exterior entrance as they kept on getting chewed up. After dealing with this on a few occasions, it was time to look at bigger solutions. This is how the homeowners stumbled upon John's Waterproofing encapsulation. This system will deter critters from getting under the home. The homeowners called us up to schedule their inspection and learn more. 

To begin, we cleared the crawlspace out. The area didn't deal with much water, so no drainage system needed, just a SmartSump as an emergency backup. We then laid down a TerraBlock insulation and closed all of the vents off. We then used CleanSpace, which has a woven fiber through it, making it difficult for animals to chew through. This goes under each wooden post, anchors along the rim joist, and is fully sealed into place. We then air sealed the foundations walls with spray foam to ensure no space for a critter would be found here and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space healthy. A new EverLast doorway was installed for the exterior entrance, and the homeowners are excited to have their home all taken care of. 

If water frequently floods the below grade space of a home, this can lead to some major structural issues. For this home, that meant sloping floors and doors sticking in their door frames, all due to six of the wooden posts rotting in the crawl space. Knowing this would only worsen with time, the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. 

To address this homes water issues, we began by making the home safe. We replaced the six rotting posts with SmartJacks. Due to the structural issues present, we also added in an additional four SmartJacks to bring the floor back to its original position. These will not rot or mold and can adjust should the home settle over time. We then pulled out the old vapor barrier and general debris that was under the home. To ensure flooding wouldn't happen, we installed a full interior perimeter drainage system. This consists of a perforated pipe in a silt sock that will collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest point where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. This then pumps the water a safe distance out and away from the home's foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the walls. This 6 Mil will need to be replaced every few years or upgraded to a full encapsulation. The homeowners are pleased to have their home on a stable footing now and not to have to worry about the home's structural stability on those damaged posts anymore. 

Rodents kept getting into this homes crawl space, the homeowners had mouse traps done here, but that also meant that they would have to periodically go under the home and clean/replace these. They had replaced the mesh on the vents a few times, had replaced the wood that covered the exterior entryway, but the rodents kept finding ways in. To deter critters from coming back they were ready for a better solution, so they called up John's Waterproofing to learn more about encapsulation. 

To begin on this project we cleared the space out of its old vapor barrier and the old fiberglass that was present. We then sealed the vents shut. We installed a SuperSump as a back up, for while no water issue was present this would still help should anything change. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock insulation. CleanSpace was then installed, going under each wooden post, attaching to the rim joists and sealed into place. This has a woven fiber through it that is difficult for any critter to chew through, and is backed by our 25 year warranty against rips and tears. Spray foam was applied to the foundation walls, this will both insulate and air seal. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and the final step was a new EverLast exterior doorway to stop critters from chewing in!

With creepy crawlies in this homes crawl space, it was a mess. From cobwebs and dead bugs, to the spiders that would crawl into the home through the HVAC vents, the homeowners were sick of it. They had a pest control company out, and the problem was addressed. But without a system in place to deter bugs, they would come back. For this step, John's Waterproofing was called upon. We removed the old 6 Mil vapor barrier and sealed the exterior vents shut. We then laid in TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace. This is sealed into place along every edge to block out bugs and any moisture. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space healthy, and applied spray foam along the walls. This both insulates and air seals so bugs cant get in through the foundation walls. This homes crawl space will now deter bugs from coming back. 

This homeowner had a family history of lung issues. To get on top of preventative measures for themselves and their kids, they wanted to ensure their new home would have healthy air quality. They knew the homes crawl space had a general 6 Mil laid down, but wanted to upgrade to an encapsulation and check the homes radon levels. For these issues they called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled their homes inspection. They decided to move forward with a full encapsulation with us and to have a radon system installed at the same time. 

To begin our work we pulled out the old vapor barrier and general debris out from under the house. We then installed a full drainage system and UltraSump to keep any groundwater guided and directed safely away from the homes foundation. Next we laid in a TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor, with CleanSpace over. This is a 20 Mil thick woven vapor barrier that goes under each wooden post, anchors and seals along the rim joist and seals along the seams of the barrier. At this point we installed the radon mitigation pipe, it goes down into the dirt to pull radon gases out of the soil. This wraps up along the side of the home and uses a mitigation fan to direct the gases to be dispelled above the home. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and applied spray foam along the foundation walls to insulate and air seal. 

This home had high radon levels. They had some neighbors who had a mitigation system installed which had them look into radon. After learning this was a gas that breaks down in the soil, they knew if their neighbor needed a system, they were very likely to need one as well. They called up John's Waterproofing to get their testing scheduled. We would do a continuous radon test, dropping the kit off and returning three days later. We then go over the homes radon levels as recorded. This shows how the homes radon levels fluctuate as well as where the homes average level sits. This homes level was sitting around 5.4 pCi/L. Any level over 2.0 pCi/L is recommended to mitigate, so they home would benefit from a system for sure. We scheduled their install. This meant installing a pipe into the basement foundation to pull radon gases directly out from the soil. The pipe wraps to the exterior of the home and the mitigation fan then pumps the gases up over the homes roofline. We left behind a charcoal testing kit so the homeowner's can send this in to a third party company and see how their homes radon levels have improved. 

This homes crawl space smelled musty and moldy. They called out John's Waterproofing to do a full inspection, and we found the old fiberglass very damp, and mold spores were throughout it. The mold was pressed against the wood underside the home, and had a grip here as well. To address the mold the homeowners would need to call up a full mold remediation company and then we would come out and install an encapsulation. 

The mold company had removed the nasty fiberglass and treated the mold. We then removed the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a full drainage system with a sump pump, and sealed the vents shut. To once again insulate the space, but to do it right this time, we laid in TerraBlock over the dirt floor. We then laid in CleanSpace, wrapping this under each wooden post, sealed along the foundation walls and sealed along the walls. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and we completed the insulation with Spray Foam along the foundation walls. This space now smells fresh and healthy, and the homeowners can enjoy their heating and cooling costs going down. 

Keeping the power on, even if the weather has other plans, is important for this household. As a family that hunts and relies on their freezers to keep their meat frozen, and a family that has some medical equipment that needs to stay on, they knew the right home generator would save them a lot of hassle. So they called up John's Waterproofing to get their free consultation and map out their homes solution. We then scheduled our plumbing and electrical divisions to perform the install. We set the home up with an automatic transfer switch so if the power clicks off, the generator will click on, providing the home with continuous power no matter what. 

This home had been dealing with some critters in the crawl space. They had set out traps, but these would need to be cleaned out and reset to keep it working. Tired of dealing with this, the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing to learn how encapsulation would seal up the space and deter critters from getting in.

To begin we clear the space out, removing the old 6 mil vapor barrier and debris. We then install a SmartSump as a back up should it be needed. The vents were sealed shut. TerraBlock insulation was laid over the floors and our CleanSpace 20 Mil vapor barrier installed. This woven material deters critters from chewing through, it goes under each wooden post, anchors and seals along the foundation and each seam is sealed. A SaniDry dehumidifier is installed and an Everlast doorway which critters cant chew through was installed. We then finished off by air sealing the space with spray foam. Now the crawl space will deter critters from entering and the homeowners can enjoy some peace of mind.
