Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us up, their crawlspace had fiberglass insulation and a 6 Mil vapor barrier. There was no water or mold or rot visible, but there was an obvious smell. Upon inspection we found mold spores in the wood that was being hidden by the fiberglass insulation. This insulation was holding any condensation up against the homes wooden foundation causing mold to take hold. We removed this, applied Mold X2 as needed and encapsulated the space to provide proper insulation and protection for this home. 

This homes crawl space was a mess of old fiberglass that was adding no real insulation value to the home. To get the space done properly, the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing and scheduled their free inspection. They chose to encapsulate the space, providing them with lasting insulation as well as a system that will keep their home dry, stable, and healthy throughout the years. 

When water permeates the air, it will get absorbed into what is around it. In this case, into the old fiberglass insulation. From there the weight of the water will pull the insulation down in either strips or in globs. To insulate a crawl space properly, our encapsulation process uses TerraBlock over the dirt floor and spray foam along the foundation walls. This provides a long lasting insulation that is not damaged by water. 

After years of having to get the fiberglass insulation re-stapled up in their crawlspace, these homeowners were ready for a solution that made sense. They asked around and heard about Johns Crawlspace Encapsulation. After doing some research and meeting with a seasoned design specialist they were ready to move ahead! They enjoy how bright their crawlspace is, and are excited that it will truly insulate their homes foundation, effectively lowering their energy bills. 

This homes insulation was water logged and almost completely falling down. To address this, the homeowners called upon John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation.
