Your Leading Linn County, OR Basement Waterproofing & Sump Pump Installation Pros

This homeowner complained that they have some occasional water in the winter and in heavy rains and some puddles in the crawlspace. They figured that summer was the best time to get it taken care of. Our inspection revealed that the problem was much larger than anticipated. The concrete foundation was crumbling due to constant moisture under this home. The lines on the ripped visqueen and the drainage pipe under the home, show the depths that water has sat during the rainy times. Our crews came and installed a perimeter drain and sump pump to ensure they never had to worry about water issues again. 

Our crews went out to Cascadia after a homeowner called with complaints of her 1926 home having constant water intrusion. Our team installed BrightWall paneling on all of the walls of the basement. BrightWall not only gives the basement a nice, clean looking finish but also guides any and all water coming in through the walls into the WaterGuard system that was installed along the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard piping system channels any water that comes into the basement right to the TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump makes sure that in the event of one of the pumps failing, there's a backup pump. That backup pump is also there case there's ever a plumbing leak and there's too much water for just one pump to handle. The TripleSafe also has a third pump that is battery operated in case there's ever a power outage. The customer now has a dry and healthy basement for years to come.

A homeowner in Harrisburg called our office to see what we could do for their wet crawlspace. Our crews went out and first cleared out all debris in the crawlspace. They then installed CleanSpace encapsulation system. CleanSpace will keep any moisture or water vapors from coming into the crawlspace through the floor or walls. This will help lower heating costs for the homeowner and improve the overall health of the crawlspace and rest of the home. Our crews also used Spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation won't be affected by cold, warm or moist air. It fills in every crack, space, and void, helping reduce energy costs and reduces the risk of mold. A CleanSpace Vent Cover was also installed over the crawlspace vent. This keeps outside air where it should be, outside. This means that no cold, hot or humid air is coming into the crawlspace and causing mold issues. A SuperSump sump pump was put in the crawlspace as well. The SuperSump sump pump not only has a powerful pump that can pump 2,650 gallons of water an hour smoothly and quietly but also has a built-in WaterWatch alarm system that will alert the homeowner to a water problem before any damage is done. There is also now a SaniDry CX dehumidifier in the crawlspace to filter out the air, removing any moisture in the air and ensuring a dry and healthy crawlspace and home. Our teams also installed Smart Jack crawlspace stabilizer to stop settling and raise the floor back to the proper level. This means no more sagging floors or inoperable doors. The homeowner now has a dry crawlspace and a healthier home for years to come.  

After receiving a call from a homeowner in Mill City, Oregon with complaints of water in their crawl space, our crew went out to the home to fix the problem. This home, like many other homes, had a vented crawl space. This means that any cold, hot or humid air from outside can and will come into the crawl space and therefore into the rest of the house. Our crews installed an insulated vent cover to fix this problem. Having this vent cover will help lower energy costs for the homeowner and improve air quality.

Another way our team helped lower heating and cooling costs from the crawl space was by using Spray Foam insulation in the crawl space. Spray Foam fills every space and void, improving air sealing. Our crews then installed TerraBlock on the floor of the crawl space for extra insulation and padding. Our CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed on top of the TerraBlock and the walls. CleanSpace prevents any moisture or water vapors from entering the crawl space. This means no new mold growth or wood rot. Now this homeowner can have peace of mind knowing that they have a dry and healthy crawl space.

A homeowner gave us a call after getting tired of always having water in her basement. Our crews went out to the home in Shedd, Oregon. They installed WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. WaterGuard intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it unseen safely away. It has special wall flange that creates space between the floor and wall which allows wall seepage to drain while keeping dirt and debris out. The WaterGuard drains the water into the sump pump. Our crew installed a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe has three separate pumps so that in the event of a plumbing leak or power outage, the sump pump will still drain away any water. It also has a built-in WaterWatch alarm system to alert the homeowner if there is a problem before any damage has occurred. Now this homeowner will be able to fully enjoy their dry basement. 

This builder had sat in on a class by John about water intrusion and knew when he built his new home he wanted to invest the extra money into making sure it was correctly waterproofed from the beginning. Most builders are so concerned with the price that they will choose the cheapest option that meets code.

Our crew installed Paraseal, a thick waterproofing membrane, around the foundation of the home and a drainage matting called Tremco to protect the home from any water intrusion after construction. 

Now this builder will have a safe and dry foundation for years to come and not have to worry about water intrusion. 

We received a call from a homeowner who was having difficulties keeping their energy costs at a reasonable rate. Our crews went out to the home to help. Having dirt crawl space can drastically effect heating and cooling costs in a home. So our crew installed CleanSpace encapsulation system on the walls and floor of the crawl space to prevent any moisture or water vapors from coming into the crawl space through the floors or walls. It also keeps the floors warmer which helps lower heating costs. This home also had a vented crawl space. Having an open vent means that any cold, hot or humid air from outside can come directly into the crawl space. So our team installed an insulated vent cover to prevent this from happening. Preventing cold air from the ground and all the air from outside drastically helps to lower heating and cooling costs for the homeowner. 

A customer called with concerns of water in the crawl space and wanted one of our inspectors to come out and take a look. The inspector did happen to find water, but what he also found was mold and rotted-out posts due to the moisture and water being the crawl space. He offered a solution to the water issues and to the rotted posts, that solution was our SmartJack Post Replacement System. With the SmartJack along with our CleanSpace encapsulation, SmartSump and SaniDry dehumidifier this home will have sturdy new posts and a dry crawl space that will last for many years.

This homeowner was having problems with water intrusion in his finished basement. Our inspector Bob suggested installing our ThermalDry Walls, our patented WaterGuard drainage system, and a TripleSafe sump pump.

Pedro and his team quickly set out to stop the water intrusion in Travis's basement. They installed ThermalDry walls, a flexible material placed over the concrete walls that drains wall seepage into the perimeter drain. The Waterguard perimeter drain system collects wall seepage from the ThermalDry walls and directs the water to the TripleSafe sump pump that the team installed. The TripleSafe sump pump is the most reliable, three- pump system that works even when there is a power outage.

After our systems were in place, Travis no longer has water intrusion issues and now has a beautiful and usable basement.

This home had water entering through the exterior stairwell entrance to the basement, and out of concern, the homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing. Our inspector, Bob suggested installing a Trench Drain with a Waterguard perimeter drain. Delfino and his team quickly installed the Trench Drain next to last bottom step. The Trench Drain design prevents water from entering the house and easily connects to the Waterguard sub-floor drainage system. The homeowner no longer worries about water getting into his basement.

This homeowner was concerned about water coming into his basement through the cold joist. Our inspector, Bob confirmed the homeowner's suspicions and came up with a plan to waterproof Kyle's basement. Bob suggested installing Thermal Dry walls, our patented Waterguard perimeter drain and a Super Sump pump.

Ramon and his team immediately began to install our products to waterproof Kyle's basement. They first installed Thermal Dry walls that easily fit over stone or concrete walls. It is designed to reflect heat back into the basement to improve comfort and lower energy costs. The Thermal Dry walls work perfectly with the Waterguard perimeter drain by directing wall seepage into it. Our patented Waterguard system is jackhammered into the perimeter of the foundation to collect the wall seepage and channel it to the sump pump. In Kyle's basement, a Super Sump pump collects all collected water and pumps it out of the basement space. The Super Sump works quietly and efficiently and comes with a built-in alarm system for when water levels get too high.

Now that our systems are in place, Kyle no longer sees water entering into his basement and has a dry, healthy and usable new space.

This building company has worked with us at John's Waterproofing for many years. As they were building this new home they knew that it would be a good idea to begin waterproofing before they finished the home. John's Waterproofing can waterproof basements and crawlspaces whether the home is new construction, in the middle of construction, or finished. Our inspector Carolann knew that for this basement, Paraseal was the best option.

Kent agreed, so Pedro and his team installed it. Paraseal is a waterproofing membrane that is installed around the exterior basement walls before it is backfilled. It is made of expandable, granular bentonite that prevents water from causing major issues in the interior basement walls. Due to the fact that concrete is porous, it allows water to filter in slowly over time. Luckily, with Paraseal as a barrier, it will make a big difference to the structural integrity of the home in the future and is a great product for new construction homes. Kent is grateful for our hard work and knows that the future homeowner will not have to worry about water intrusion for years to come.

The homeowners were getting ready to sell their house and knew there were moisture problems in their crawl space that they knew they needed to address first. So they called into John's Waterproofing and scheduled to have a design specialist come out to take a look. We found the source of moisture and found some mildew so suggested to a full encapsulation. They agreed and soon enough one of our crews arrived to clean and dry out the space. He installed a new Super Sump and made sure that it was draining as far away from the structure as possible. 

Shortly after the homeowners were able to put their home up for sale, providing the new homeowners with a clean dry crawl space that will stay that way for a very long time.

When a big rain storm hit, the homeowners knew they needed to keep an eye on their Crawlspace. They had been used to a small amount of pooling water in their crawlspace, and expected it. However, since it had been left untreated, they were not prepared for how quickly the situation could get worse. Overnight, their small pools of water, became a full flooding situation. The water had filled the crawlspace and was penetrating the wooden posts under their home. If left unchecked, this issue would begin to cause wood rot, mold, and could permanently damage the house. The homeowners knew they could delay waterproofing any longer, and they called Johns Waterproofing to get a free estimate for a full crawlspace encapsulation. 

To fix their issue, we began by drying the crawlspace out, we needed a dry foundation so we could prevent damage while we worked. Our install crews removed the debris and added in a Smart Sump and UltraSump under the home. These systems would collect the water from under the home and direct it away from the homes foundation. To keep moisture from getting into the crawlspace, we then laid down our TerraBlock and Cleanspace barriers. These non-organic materials work together and cannot mold, they are tear resistant and are sealed under each post and along the walls so that nothing can get into the home. We then added new vent covers so that nothing could enter the crawlspace via the vents. 

The homeowners were so pleased with their newly encapsulated crawlspace and were happy that they didn't need to worry about water damage under there home any longer. 

The homeowner had a few rooms in their basement that had been waterproofed and finished by another company a few years back. But their home also had a small crawlspace that was entered via a small doorway from one of the basement rooms. While the basement section had been sealed off from water issues, the crawlspace had not been addressed. The homeowners learned that this was a mistake when they noticed water seeping through the crawlspace entrance door and dripping into their finished basement. Upon opening the door, they saw flooding, and sagging insulation. 

Our crew came out and removed the debris from the crawlspace and got to work! They added in a Condensation Pump and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. These would work together to keep the water and humidity out of the crawlspace. We then added in a 6 Mil Vapor Barrier and Spray Foam around the rim Joists to guarantee water wouldn't be making its way in. To top it off we added new vent covers and an EverLast door so things could be truly sealed off from water damage. 

While we are happy to go and waterproof a crawlspace or basement that is experiencing waterproofing issues, it is nice when we can be a part of the project from when a home is initially built. With this home we were able to come in after the foundation was poured to waterproof the basement from the exterior. While possible to do this after a home has been built, it is not ideal, which is why most of our work is done on the interior of a space. This home still had the deep wells around the homes foundation and so our crew was able to come in and work directly on the freshly dried foundation walls. 

Our team laid out a dimpled Drainage matting to help divert water down and off of all of the walls, we then overlaid this with a Paraseal material. This product will swell when in contact with water to help keep it from entering a basement at all. When we can get to a house as it is being built we can ensure that no water problems happen from the start, we were happy to create a healthy and dry basement for this home so early in its lifetime. 

This old house experienced very little water throughout a year. The homeowners did not experience flooding, and no condensation could be found on the walls. However, with dirt floors in the crawlspace, water vapor had made its way up into the homes foundation. The homeowners had originally thought that the drooping places in the floor was due to the homes age, so they would add make-shift supports under their home, usually consisting of a cement blocks with various two by fours under support beams. This was done just to keep the floors from sagging further and they would just put as many pieces of wood in a spot as they could. While this provided some support to the noticeable places, it was not addressing the actual problem, water had made its way into the original wooden posts and they were slowly rotting, causing the flooring to sag and droop throughout the years. 

Since the original posts for the home had the wood penetrating the dirt floor, this direct contact was allowing the moisture in the dirt to slowly work its way up the posts, absorbing into the wooden pieces of the foundation, without enough excess water to be otherwise detected.  To repair this, we brought in twenty three SmartJacks to support and save this home from succumbing to rot. Our SmartJacks are made with strong, corrosion-resistant galvanized steel. Since it will not rust, it can be adjustable for years should the need to adjust arise. Once these were in place we safely removed the homemade posts and removed the rotten piers so that the wood rot wouldn't make its way further into the home. Since there would no longer be wood for the water to absorb into, we laid out a 6 Mil black plastic to keep the water from entering the crawlspace. This was secured throughout the crawlspace to save the homes foundation from any further damage. 

The homeowners went to check on their crawlspace after noticing an odd smell wafting up into their home. Upon further inspection, they found that the crawlspace was a wet and muddy mess. The old vapor barrier had never been sealed, and the massive amounts of water that the are faced had pushed the old barrier around. It was bunched up and muddy with large areas under the house being left as deep mud puddles. They knew this kind of damage can lead to costly repairs and could ruin a homes foundation if left untreated, so it was time to call John's Waterproofing. 

The crew came in and removed all of the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home. Due to the high amounts of water we dug a trench around the interior of the space and put in a three inch perforated pipe to direct the water to a SuperSump sump pump made specifically for crawlspaces. The sump pump will move all of the water out and away from the home so it can stay dry and healthy. We then added in a 6 Mil black vapor barrier and sealed this into place so it wouldn't cause problems for the homeowners. The odd smell quickly went away, and the crawlspace is ready to handle the Oregon rain. 

The homeowners had a small water heater for their home. It was common to have to pause washing dishes to let the water heat up again, as well as needing to space out showers to ensure that people would have enough water to clean with. But, the homeowners were ready to change that, they wanted a new water heater and needed a professional to come in and install it. Since the new water heater was larger, they wanted to make sure that the system was set up properly and done to code.

To assist, our plumbing division went to help. After removing the old water heater, the new one was set in place. We upgraded their on demand W/H valves so it would work with the set up they had and in no time at all they had their new water heater tank up and going. They will no longer need to worry about running out of warm water while doing dishes and can now have people take back to back showers if needed. 

We are happy to come out and ensure all your plumbing needs are done the right way, the first time around! 

Homeowners have a small basement, where they noticed some hairline cracks. The cracks seemed minor, so the homeowners were going to wait until the rainy season had come and gone before addressing the problem thinking that working on a dry basement after the rain would be ideal. However, as the rainy season progressed and water pushed on the foundation walls, the cracks grew. During  a particularly big storm, they noticed pooling in the basement, and this grew to flooding. The cracks had grown under the pressure, and to make sure the damage didn't increase, John's Waterproofing was called. 

While John's doesn't handle large structural issues, we can help with minor damage repair. While this home experienced large amounts of water dripping through the cracks, it was still within our capability to solve. We began by getting all of the water cleared out. Since it was still wet outdoors, we put a dehumidifier in the basement to help us keep the space dry enough for our installers to work efficiently. They began by sealing up the cracks with a waterproof material that can reinforce the structural integrity of the home so it will withstand the exterior water pressure. Since the home had a monolithic foundation (the floor and walls were poured at the same time and connected), we added in a Dry Trak basement drainage system to direct the water to a sump pump that then pulled all water out and away from the home. 

This home had a vapor barrier installed years prior and they would routinely check it in the summer to make sure it was in place. Upon inspection they noticed a lot of mud was caked on top of their vapor barrier, specifically around the areas where the plastic would overlap... it hadn't been sealed. They knew they needed to get this fixed, so they called the company that has been around since 1974; John's Waterproofing.

Our crew came out and removed the old barrier and the other debris we found in the crawlspace. We then added in a SmartSump, made specifically for crawlspaces. This was connected to a discharge line that we installed that took the water a safe distance away from the home to a new LawnScape Outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil black plastic vapor barrier that was secured in place so that the homeowners could rest assured could combat their waterproofing needs. 

This home had some ruts in the crawlspace. When they had some work done on the underside of the home, a few pathways were dug down and their old vapor barrier had been pushed aside so workers could move freely in the crawlspace. The homeowners approved of this happening so they could make their home upgrades, but now any water that went under the home was pooling along these pathways and it was creating a very musty smell in the home above. To solve this problem, they called John's Waterproofing. 

When our crew arrived we began by removing the old vapor barrier, then our team put in the work to dig out and level the dirt floor under the home. Once we had a level and clean area to work in, we laid down a 6 Mil plastic vapor barrier that we secured in place. The home didn't experience a lot of water under their home, but this would provide enough protection in this case. 

This home had a pretty regular water issue in their crawlspace, resulting in pooling under the home. The homeowners had just accepted this as something that comes along with the rain, until they noticed some of the wooden piers under the home were showing signs of rot and mold from the water penetrating the wood. To get some help, they turned to John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews began by removing the old debris from under the home. We then installed a SmartSump pump to collect the water under the home and push it out and away from the home through a new drainage pipe. To help water flow easily to the pump we laid down a dimpled drainage matting, and then encapsulated the space with a Cleanspace vapor barrier. This was sealed under each pier and along the foundation walls. To reinforce the piers that had been showing signs of water damage, we install three SmartJacks as needed. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to pull the water vapors out of the air so keep the crawlspace dry and healthy year round. 

These homeowners had noticed a substance building up on their crawlspace walls that was giving off a musty smell. They called John's Waterproofing to take a look. The substance was mineral deposits creeping through the porous foundation walls from the water moisture leaking through. With over fifty percent of the air breathed in the home coming from the crawlspace, these minerals were causing the smell they had noticed. 

To solve this issue our crew installed a SuperSump Pump and installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the crawlspace and up along the crawlspace walls. This was sealed in place along each wall, around each footing, and together to create a barrier that would keep moisture out! As preventative work we also installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the moisture levels at a healthy level to ensure this home would remain dry and healthy. 

After every hard rain, the crawlspace would experience pooling water in the same spots. The homeowners knew that standing water under a home can lead to issues and so they called John's Waterproofing to get some assistance. 

Our crew began by installing a SmartSump pump to get any water pushed out and away from the homes foundation via a discharge line. Next each pier was isolated so water couldn't penetrate the woodwork. CleanSpace was then sealed throughout the crawlspace to really lock the moisture out. Since a few of the vent covers had some damage we also changed out those so that critters couldnt break into the newly waterproofed crawlspace. 

The homeowners were so happy when they discovered that their crawlspace was still dry after the rain! 

Homeowners noticed that they had some wet places throughout their partially finished basement. The home was built into the hillside and on that side, there was water coming in under their stairway. The wood there was starting to rot a bit and that  was seeping into the wall that was nearby. They didn't want the water damage to keep working its way through the basement and they were ready to put it to a stop. 

Our crew began by removing the portions of the basement that were beyond repair, this included the lower steps on the stairway and have to remove a portion of the wall that had been built to separate the basement into rooms. Due to how the home was build, our usual WaterGuard drainage system wasn't an option so we installed a Dry Trak system around the interior parameter to collect the water and divert it to a newly installed SuperSump pump. We then rebuilt the stairs so they were safe to use again and rebuilt the walls that had been taken down. Next to help keep the walls from being damaged by water and giving it a cleaner look we added in our ThermalDry Wall panels. The homeowners wanted to keep the flooring unfinished, but this system will give their basement a clean and dry environment that looks nice as well. 

This large crawlspace had an old vapor barrier that was caked with mud. Due to the uneven dirt floor, there were places present with pooling water that was surrounding some of the wooden posts that support the home above. Because of this, the above flooring had some structural issues where the floor was uneven. To find an issue with their water intrusion and their structural integrity, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing.  

Our installers came out and began by removing the old vapor barrier and other debris from under the home. We had to replace ten wooden posts with our SmartJacks to ensure the home would be stable. We then installed two sump pumps, one on each side of the crawlspace, a TripleSafe, and a SuperSump. This work to divert groundwater a safe distance away from the home and out via a LawnScape outlet. The space was then encased in our Cleanspace vapor barrier which is inserted under each post and seals against the walls so that a sold seal is established. Our installers then installed new vent covers and some spray foam where needed. This home will now be dry and healthy!

This home had an old vapor barrier under their home that was ripped and caked with mud. Due to the high levels of water the house experienced, it had been dealing with water flooding over the top of the simple barrier and this water had caused wood rot on some of the foundation posts. The above home was experiencing sagging floors and musty smells because of this. 

To solve this issue we went out and removed the old vapor barrier and dug out a few portions of the crawlspace to make it easier to work in. We also widened the crawlspace entryway and installed an EverLast Access well and an EverLast door. We then installed twelve SmartJacks to replace the rotted wooden posts and provided support as needed to keep this home sturdy and safe. Our SmartSump pump was then placed at the lowest point in the crawlspace to collect groundwater and have it safely diverted away from the home's foundation. The entire space was then recovered with a vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was inserted to control moisture levels so that musty smell would be a thing of the past. 

This homeowner had called when they noticed their crawlspace had a musty smell, while our design specialist was inspecting under the home, the owner asked if we knew anyone who could do attic insulation work, and we can help with that! For the crawlspace was installed a TripleSafe Sump pump and Cleanspace was sealed throughout, and for the attic, we did our comfort package. 

Our crew began by removing the old insulation so we could have a clean start. We began by doing an air seal throughout the space, sealing off the chimney, can lights, and all wire and pipe penetrations' throughout the attic. Once we knew that the uncontaminated air for outside wouldn't be getting into this area, we installed our TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout. This attic space will now be dry and healthy, as well as energy-efficient! 

This home had high energy costs and a very humid and stuffy crawlspace. The homeowners knew that to stop mold from being present, they would need to waterproof their crawlspace, and since they needed work under their home, they wanted to look into energy-efficient solutions so they could save money on their heating and cooling costs. 

Our crew came out to help them on both fronts. They began by clearing out the crawlspace. They then installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect groundwater and push it out and away from the foundation of the home. Our install crews then wrapped each post in CleanSpace and installed our SilverGlo insulation on all of the foundation walls. TerraBlock crawlspace insulation was then laid on the ground of the crawlspace and it was all sealed with our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier. The seams are all sealed, and anchored to the walls. To combat any unconditioned air from entering the space we also installed vent covers and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This crawlspace is dry and healthy and the homeowners look forward to seeing how this helps with energy costs! 

This homeowner had recently purchased an older home that had a pretty run-down kitchen. It had all been built in, and none of the kitchens fit a generic size palette. When this kitchen got a remodel, the old sink pipes were misaligned and wouldn't line up at all, so the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our plumbing division arrived and quickly got to work, we replace the old drainage pipes and waterlines to give the sink a standard size, so it would be easier for the homeowners to work on should they want to. Each pipe was moved to fit the new sink and our plumbers also hooked up a line so that a dishwasher could be installed. The homeowners were so grateful that they could get the plumbing aligned properly so their kitchen could come to life!

This home had a lot of water build-up when it rained. The water would pool around the home, causing a wet mess of mud when the rainstorms hit. The downspouts from their gutters were dropping the water right near the home's foundation and this added to the issue, leading the homeowners to have to make a pathway using wooden boards over the mud to keep from sliding as they walked around their home. To solve this issue, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews arrived and began by drying out the crawlspace, with so much water around the home it was difficult to see how the crawlspace was holding up. A perforated pipe system was then installed around the home under the surface to collect groundwater, this hooked up to each downspout and hooked to a TripleSafe sump pump that went into the crawlspace. These would all work together to collect and direct water out and away from the home. Once the dry out was complete we then installed a 20 Mil thick Cleanspace vapor barrier which secures under the wooden posts and anchors to the walls to keep the water out!

The homeowners were so pleased with how the system kept up with the water demands when the rain hit, no more makeshift pathways! 

This home had water evident in the crawlspace, the homeowners noticed a musty smell drifting up into the house and wanted to address the water before the problem got worse. To help with this, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew went out and began by clearing out the debris in the crawlspace. With a clean start, a SmartSump pump was installed in the lowest portion of the crawlspace. This would collect the groundwater and push it out and away from the foundation of the home to a newly installed LawnScape outlet. To finish off this project we installed a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help control the water. This home is now dry and healthy! 

This home had water evident in the crawlspace. It was seeping up through the dirt floor and water stains were lining the interior parameter of the space. When our design specialist arrived they noticed that the old fiberglass insulation was waterlogged and needed to be removed before mold grew. 

Our crew took out all of the old and damaged insulation as well as any debris that was found in the crawlspace. A SmartSump pump was then installed, this would direct all groundwater out and away from the foundation of the home. The walls were then insulated with our SilverGlo crawlspace insulation. Each post was then isolated with CleanSpace, which was also installed over the entire dirt floor and anchored to the walls so it would stay in place. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was also inserted to protect the crawlspace. Each vent cover was also replaced and a new Turtl crawlspace entryway was installed. 

This home's insulation was waterlogged and falling down from the weight. Wanting to keep their home fully insulated to keep the home energy efficient, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

We began by removing the old and damaged insulation, with a clean slate we began installing crawlspace-specific insulation. This included out SilverGlo Foundation wall insulation and a layer of TerraBlock insulation over the top of the dirt floor. The space was then encased in CleanSpace, a 20 Mil vapor barrier. This will seal under the wooden posts and anchor to the walls. This home is now properly insulated from the ground up! 

This crawlspace had water trickling through it, and some musty smells were beginning to appear. To get the home protected and healthy, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crews removed the debris from under the home and installed a SmartSump pump to collect the groundwater and divert it out and away from the home. The space was then encased in our 20 mil vapor barrier; Cleanspace. This was sealed under each wooden post, and anchored along each wall to create a secure watertight barrier. We then changed out the vent covers and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.  This home will now be dry and healthy. 

The homeowner wanted to upgrade their home to a tankless water heater. This will allow them to save on energy costs and provides them more hot water than their previous system. Our plumbers came out and moved the old water heater out and away and properly hooked up the new tankless water heater. We checked that everything worked and were on our way! 

This home had high energy bills and the homeowners were looking to save. To get their crawlspace insulated right, they called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew cleared out the crawlspace for a clean start. We then installed a SmartSump pump to collect groundwater and push it out and away from the home. The walls were than covered with out SilverGlo crawlspace insulation. Next our 20 Mil thick CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed. This seals under the wooden posts and than in anchored to the SilverGlo along the walls for a nice seal. We than installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy. 

High energy bills can be frustrating, but one way to lower this bill, is to address your crawlspace. If the floor is cold to the touch during the winter season, a crawlspace insulation solution could help you save. 

Our crew began by removing the old debris from under the home. We than installed out TerraBlock crawlspace insulation along the dirt floor. The foundation walls were than covered with out SilverGlo insulation. This is anchored along the walls. To ensure it was sealed up, our crew than installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This wraps around each post footing and is secured along the walls. The homeowners quickly say their energy bills lower, and were very happy with how much warmer the floors were. 

Exterior entryways to a basement can be very convenient and nice to have, however, if water can creep into these stairways, it can become an easy access point for water damage to find its water into this space. This home's stairway collected water and allowed it to seep into the basement, causing flooding at the bottom of the stairs as well as inside the basement near the doorway. The homeowners had been using a shop vacuum to handle the water, but they noticed a musty smell was still evident in this area due to the moisture still sitting along the walls. To solve this problem, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew came out and began digging a trench. This traced along the interior parameter of the basement. The entryway had a TrenchDrain installed to allow water to fall into the new drainage system. The remaining of this had our WaterGuard system installed. These will work to collect the groundwater and push it towards a newly installed SuperSump pump with an UltraSump pump backup should a power outage occur. The drainage system was then sealed up and smoothed over making the basement dry, healthy, and clean.

Water damage under the home can slowly creep into the foundation of a home. When it occurs slowly, it is much easier to overlook until a more serious issue is obvious. This home had a slow water issue that led to multiple wooden beams having mold and rot which was evident from the sloping floors in the home. 

We began by removing the excess dirt in the crawlspace and then turned to address the foundation issues. We installed ten SmartJacks which can adjust heights should any further issues be present. To finish we then laid out a new six mil vapor barrier to keep water from damaging the home again. 

When standing water can be found in a crawlspace, we always suggest a drainage system to help combat the evident water issue. For this home, we installed a three-inch perforated pipe system to collect groundwater and direct the water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From there all water is pushed out and away from the home's foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid out a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help keep water from penetrating the wooden portions of the home's foundation. 

These homeowners had their crawlspace encapsulated a few years prior. They ended up having some new piping installed, which brought the construction workers under their homes. While under the home, some items had to be moved around and altered. To fix things up once again, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

The first thing we saw was that the crawlspace entryway, which the homeowners had opted out of upgrading, was very swollen from water. We began by installing a new EverLast doorway. This will provide a waterproofed entryway. We then used spray foam to air seal a few places under the home that had been altered by the new plumbing work. We then did a general service visit, by cleaning the sump pump and replacing the filter on the SaniDry dehumidifier that is present. 

A homeowner visited our booth at a Home and Garden Fair. They explained that they had a crawlspace in a recently purchased home and had never looked at it but they believed the sump pump was no longer working. They signed up to have a salesperson come and do a thorough investigation of the crawlspace so they could give the homeowner a detailed evaluation, complete with photos.

The inspection revealed that, indeed, the pump was not working and was improperly installed, and as a result, there were obvious signs that the crawlspace barrier was being breached by water repeatedly and was heavy with layers of silt.  There were also water stains from the vents so it was clear that water was streaming through the vents when it rained. This was a result of garden bark being piled up over the rim of the vents.

The inspector recommended a drain system and a SuperSump pump and proper discharge to take the water away from the home.  The crew came out and removed the old, dirty barrier and installed a perf pipe drainage system and graded it to the new SuperSump and a discharge line was connected to the downspout drainage for discharge.  The bark was raked away from the vents and a new 6mil vapor barrier was installed, properly overlapped, and run up the side of the foundation walls to ensure that any water intrusion from the footing would be captured in the drainage system. The homeowner was very pleased with the price, the work, and the great warranty! 

A customer called because there was standing water in the crawlspace of a detached office they were building. The building sloped outward on all sides, however, water was still found pooling in the lowest portion under the home. After inspecting the crawlspace and surrounding area the Design Specialist sat down with the owner and explained the different options John's waterproofing could offer. She opted for the encapsulation and was quite excited about it.  

The crew came out and dried out the crawlspace and then returned a few weeks later to install the system.  They installed a perforated pipe drain system that led to a TripleSafe sump pump to remove the water and a discharge line was extended down the hillside, well away from the building. Next, they isolated all the posts from moisture contamination and then covered the dirt floor with TerraBlock for insulation purposes. Then they proceeded to seal all the vents with specially designed covers and line the crawlspace with CleanSpace, a 20mil, nylon-reinforced plastic barrier, and sealed all the seams with specially designed 4" tape. The barrier was extended up and fastened to the walls of the foundation. Once completed, 2.5" of spray foam was applied to the interior walls, effectively air-sealing the space. Finally and most importantly, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to filter the air and reduce the moisture to keep the crawlspace mold-free and clean. 

Homeowners are often captivated by what they learn when they stop at our booth at Home and Garden shows. This homeowner was unaware that the musty smell and mud were a sign of an unhealthy crawlspace, and was eager to solve their water issues before long-term damage to their home ensued. 

Our Installation crew arrived at the home and began by removing the old barrier, fiberglass insulation, and other debris. A Turtl crawlspace access entryway was installed for better accessibility and all the exterior vents were sealed. A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe pump system at the low spot of the crawl space. TerraBlock, a condensed foam barrier was laid out on the dirt floor to aid in insulation and protect the new barrier.  The CleanSpace 20mil, the nylon-reinforced barrier was laid on top of the TerraBlock and used to isolate all the posts. All the seams were sealed and the barrier was run up and attached to the foundation walls. SilverGlow rigid foam insulation was attached to the walls over the CleanSpace and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the space stayed dry, free of mold, and the air was cycled and filtered. Lastly, a single cell spray foam was applied to the rim joist to make sure the space met insulation code requirements.

While this crawlspace had a generic 6 Mil vapor barrier it couldn't keep the water at bay and the home ended up flooding whenever a big rainstorm hit. The homeowners wanted to know why this was happening and that their home was protected from water damage, so they called in John's Waterproofing. 

A System Designer was scheduled to visit the home and do a thorough examination and evaluation of the problem and take numerous photos to share with the homeowner. He explained what was happening and why as well as how to fix it. 

To begin our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris and placed a sump and fans in the crawlspace to dry it out so we could work. A couple of weeks later, the installers laid a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed SuperSump Plus sump pump, along with proper discharge lines out and away from the home. Finally, a new 6mil vapor barrier was installed, overlapped a minimum of 18" and run up and attached to the foundation walls.

This homeowner called John's Waterproofing because they were suspicious that there was water in their crawlspace. A System Designer was scheduled to visit the home and do a thorough examination and evaluation of the problem. He explained what was happening and why and how to fix it.  He also told the homeowner that the sagging floors were due to some posts that were sinking. He assured the homeowner that John's could take care of that problem as well and get his floors back to being even. 

To begin our crew removed the damaged 6 mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris and placed a sump pump and fans in the space to dry it out. Once we could work in the crawlspace, the crew arrived and installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed SmartSump Plus sump pump, along with proper discharge. Lastly, a new 6 mil plastic barrier was installed on all dirt surfaces and fastened to the foundation.

If a home doesn't experience much rain, a 6 mil vapor barrier alone can help out, however, if there is enough water that it can rise above the barrier and get on top of it, then more issues can happen as the water is held in place, leading to mold and mildew. This home had a simple vapor barrier installed, but they quickly found that water was collecting on top of this, and water mold was evident here. 

To have this crawlspace waterproofed to combat the amount of water it sees, John's Waterproofing was called out. We removed the old vapor barrier and cleared out the debris. We then installed a perforated pipe drainage system. This would collect the groundwater and push it along to a newly installed SmartSump pump and then out and away from the foundation of the home. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, and the homeowners are happy that no more pooling water will be found. 

Crawlspaces generally have dirt floors, and this one was wet to the touch. The crawlspace emitted a damp musty smell, and the homeowners were looking for a solution. To reclaim fresh and clean air in their home, they called up John's Waterproofing for help. 

Our installation crews arrived and began by cleaning out the crawlspace. Once it was clean a three-inch perforated pipe system was installed to collect the groundwater and push it along to a newly installed SuperSump pump, and then out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier, was laid in the space. It was wrapped under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and secured in place. This home will now remain dry and healthy, and the home above is experiencing clean and fresh air. 

A farmer called us out to see what we could do about drainage around his old barn.  It had French drains that had been installed many years before and they were failing. Not uncommon as improperly installed French drains typically fill with dirt over the years.  

A system Designer went out and showed the farmer some of the newer techniques and products used today and how and why they are superior. First, the grass was carefully removed and the old pipes were dug up and removed and the trench depth increased. Next, a 3" bed of gravel filled the bottom of the trench and a more modern, 3" perforated pipe in a silt sleeve was laid before the grass was carefully reinstalled. Lastly, the discharge lines were extended to keep the water far away. The farmer is much happier now, knowing their barn will remain dry!

The roof of home experiences a massive amount of water, and this runs down the roofs, through the gutters, and exits through the downspouts. The roof of This home had three downspouts, and they didn't dispel the water more than two feet away from the home. The homeowners would experience flooding around their downspouts during heavy rains, and they wanted to find a solution to this issue. 

To solve this issue we extended the downspouts down into the ground and installed discharge lines from the downspouts to direct the roof water out and away from the home.  For this particular home, this entailed eighty feet of piping which was completed at a new LawnScape outlet. This home now doesn't have flooding around the downspouts, and the homeowners are happy their home is protected from this excessive water pressure. 

Every customer is equally important to John's, no matter the size of the job. This customer was very limited in what she could spend and with respect to this, a proposal was designed and she was offered financing that enabled her to move forward with the much-needed work and protect her home.

Our experienced crew arrived and went to work right away removing all the old debris and vapor barrier from the crawlspace. The crawlspace had exterior access but the old wooden door was decayed and falling apart so it was replaced with a new custom-sized Everlast Door. Everlast Doors are made of 3/4" thick PVC to last a lifetime and are strong enough to keep rodents and animals out. Because rodent activity was apparent, the inspector noted that 2 vents were compromised and the crew replaced the screens to keep the little buggers out! Lastly, a new 6mil black plastic vapor barrier was installed, thoroughly covering the crawlspace floor and overlapping a minimum of 18 inches, and fastened up the foundation walls. The customer was thrilled with the improvements and knowing the rodents wouldn't be scurrying about under her home was comforting.

Certain things have to be brought up to code for a home to pass inspection for a real estate transaction, and one of the most frequent problems is when the crawlspace is in disrepair and/or wet. In this case, water wasn't an issue but the vapor barrier was in poor condition and not covering the entire crawlspace.  Our Real Estate Specialist was sent to inspect and write a proposal that included our Real Estate discount pricing.

A week later our System installers were dispersed to do the work.  The old barrier, hanging insulation, and all other debris were removed from the crawlspace. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls The new owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty we provided as well!

This older home had signs of sagging in their dining room, when they went under their home they found three of the wooden posts in the crawlspace had rotted and were squishy to the touch. The homeowners were concerned about what this rot would do to their home, so they called up John's Waterproofing for a solution. 

Our crew arrived and installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest point of the crawlspace, under the dining room. Water must have been pooling in this space, leading to the posts rotting out. We then installed five SmartJacks to add support to this space and relevel the flooring. To ensure water wouldn't cause more problems, we then encased the space in CleanSpace. Installing this woven 20 Mil barrier under each post, anchored to the walls, and fully secured. We then replaced each vent and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space dry and healthy. 

This home had high humidity and this can often lead to mold spores and damage the homes longevity. The homeowners had a mold expert clear out the mold problem, and when asked about preventing mold, they were informed that crawlspace encapsulation was the only way to fully stop mold spores from occurring. The mold experts recommended John's Waterproofing. 

To encase the space we installed a SmartSump to direct groundwater safely away from the homes foundation. We then installed SilverGlo panels along the foundation walls. The space we then encased in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil woven material is inserted under each wooden pier, anchored along the walls, and sealed into place. We then replaced the vent covers and inserted a SaniDry dehumidifier to control the humidity levels to keep mold spores away. The homeowners were excited to have clean and healthy air and protect their home! 

This customer was well aware of the issues with water in their crawlspace and after many attempts to control the water themselves, the customer realized they needed professional help. One of our System Designers measured the home, checking the home's exterior as well as interior.  He found the downspouts in good shape and operating. However, under the home was a water intrusion which had led to falling insulation and mold starting to grow on the posts and beams. The designer walked him through the issues and suggested CleanSpace encapsulation as it was the ONLY way to get rid of the mold for good. The homeowner was eager to sign a contract and get going. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced installation teams arrived and laid down barriers to keep the home free of dirt and debris. Then all of the debris, old insulation, and damaged vapor barrier was removed.  A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the low point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed and wooden posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was installed and all seams were sealed, run up the walls, and fastened under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and the air was filtered for a healthy home. Finally, Spray foam was applied to the rim joist to aid the TerraBlock in insulating the space.

This person ventured into their crawlspace to learn that there was no insulation and no vapor barrier so they called on John's Waterproofing for the necessary repairs. A System Designer was sent to the home and confirmed all the homeowner had called about and more. Though currently dry, there were clear signs that there had been water intrusion during heavy rains and there was mold growing on the beams and posts. He showed the homeowner how we could solve all the problems with encapsulation and presented a proposal that the homeowner signed as he was anxious to get the work done. 

After arriving a few weeks later our crew got right to work and removed some construction debris and other debris. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and directed 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, and sealed all the seams. This is also 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.

This homeowner called because he had a rather tall crawlspace that he was using to store items. But there was water getting in during heavy rains and he feared that his belongings would get ruined with mold or mildew. He called on John's Waterproofing for a cure and a System Designer arrived at the home and did a quick measurement of the home's footprint and discovered that several downspouts were emptying out right next to the foundation wall. While discussing solutions, the design specialist recommended a solution to the downspouts and a full encapsulation. The crawlspace encapsulation would give him a great storage solution as well as improve the air quality for his family and help him save on his utility bills. 

The homeowner had cleared the crawlspace of all the items stored to make way for the crew. Our installers then cleaned out the debris, old insulation, and 6 Mil vapor barrier.  A perforated pipe drainage system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe sump pump. TerraBlock was then laid on the dirt floor to aid insulation and the vents were sealed and the posts were isolated. We then installed a 20mil nylon-reinforced CleanSpace vapor barrier and all seams were sealed up and run up the walls, fastening under the rim joist. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed in this area to ensure the humidity was controlled to prevent mold growth and filter the air for a healthy home and crawlspace. Finally, a single cell spray foam was applied to the rim joist and foundation walls to bring the insulation to the required R factor. The downspouts were also addressed by connecting underground discharge lines that were extended well away from the home. The homeowner was thrilled with his large and safe storage area and the other bonuses of clean, filtered air for his family and utility savings!

If your energy bills end up hiking up faster than expected, the reason could be found in the crawlspace. If a crawlspace has a water intrusion, this can be soaked up into any fiberglass insulation, causing it to become water logged and fall in pieces. This home had such a problem, and was missing a large portion of insulation. This is why we do not use fiberglass insulation in a crawlspace, we recommend a crawlspace encapsulation to provide a crawlspace specific insulation solution. 

Our installation crew began by removing all of the old insulation and debris from under the home. We then installed a SuperSump Pump with an UltraSump battery back up; this will collect the groundwater and push it safely out and away from the foundation. To insulate we then installed TerraBlock over the dirt floor, and SilverGlo wall insulation over the foundation walls. We then isolated the wooden piers with our 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This is then anchored along the foundation walls and sealed into place. The vents were then sealed up and a SaniDry dehumidifier installed to ensure this space stays dry and healthy. 

We received a call from an elderly couple from Lyons. They were heading to a new town and needed to sell their home. The real estate broker told them that according to the inspection report, a few things needed to be done in the crawlspace for the buyers so we sent out a Design Specialist to help them out. The couple showed the Design Specialist the inspection report where the inspector noted that the vapor barrier needed to be replaced, a few vents repaired and a post needed to be replaced. 

A crew was sent out and they removed the old, torn barrier and laid a new 6mil vapor barrier and overlapped it well, replaced some of the vent screens and replaced the bad post with a SmartJack. SmartJacks are heavy-duty, adjustable jacks that are made of steel so they are made to last.

It wasn't a big job, but it made a big difference to this couple.

This crawlspace was a bit drafty and had evidence of critters creeping into the area. The homeowners were done with the nasty smell this was bringing up into the home and called up John's Waterproofing for a solution. 

To address this we began by removing the debris from under the home. Once the space was cleared out, we installed a SmartSump to collect groundwater and send it out and away from the home. We then covered up the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels. Next we isolated each wooden post with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This barrier also anchors along the walls and is sealed in place with our specialized Cleanspace waterproof tape. As a final piece we installed new vent covers to keep the critters from re-entering the space and a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air at a healthy humidity level. The homeowners are thrilled with how much cleaner and fresher their home smells.  

This crawlspace had mold spores taking hold. It was growing along the wooden beams and posts. While the homeowner had a general vapor barrier laid down, it wasn't handling the water that was present and had been pooling over the top of the old vapor barrier. The homeowners knew they needed a better system to handle their water issue. To help out, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew arrived and began by removing the old vapor barrier. We then applied MoldX2 along the beams and posts, killing the spores and to prevent more mold spores from appearing. We then installed a drainage system along the interior parameter to collect the groundwater, this graded to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump, and then out and away from the foundation. As a final piece we installed our 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This was installed under each wooden post, and anchored up along the walls under the rim joists. It was then fully sealed into place, to keep this home dry and healthy. 

A sloping floor is problematic, and this homeowner noticed their floor was sloping when some of their interior doors began sticking in the door frames. While the foundation walls were still in good order, they noticed that some of the wooden posts under the home were rotting out from the bottom. The homeowners were nervous about what this meant for their home's longevity and called up John's Waterproofing for a stabilizing solution. 

Our crew began by cleaning out the home. We then installed fourteen SmartJacks to add support, remove the damaged posts, and place around as needed to keep their home happy and healthy. To prevent more issues from occurring we then installed a pipe system to collect groundwater and divert it to a SmartSump pump, and then the water went out and away from the foundation. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 20 Mil vapor barrier goes under each wooden post, anchors along the walls, and full sealed in place. We then installed new vent covers and a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

Certain things have to be brought up to code for a home to pass inspection for a real estate transaction and one of the most frequent problems is when the crawlspace is in disrepair and/or wet. In this instance, it was both, water had breached the old vapor barrier and the vapor barrier was in poor condition; not covering the entire crawlspace and the fiberglass insulation was falling everywhere. Our Real Estate Specialist was sent to inspect and write a proposal that included Real Estate discount pricing.

We then sent out our system installers to do the work.  The old barrier, hanging insulation, and all other debris was 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 was installed to gather the water and discharge it out and away from the home. 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 pipe system. The new owners were happy and thrilled with the warranty that was inherited with the purchase of their new home!

Water has a way of slowly exuding pressure onto a home until it can find a way in. This home had water begin with a section of the wall being damp to the touch. A year later, mold spores became evident on some of the items stored here. Next the homeowners found a small leak of water coming in along the basement egress window. And after that when heavy rains were present, there became a small pool of water along the floor. The homeowners were worried about what the next step in this issue would be, so they called up John's Waterproofing to help craft a solution. 

To begin, our crew used a jackhammer along the interior parameter of the basement. In this space we laid down gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. Since water issues had been around the egress window, we then replaced the egress windows, ensuring they would be waterproofed properly. The walls were then waterproofed with our BrightWall paneling. This is a waterproof material that is easy to clean, and durable, leaving the space with a semi-finished appearance. This will direct water down the wall safely to the new drainage system. From here, water is sent along to a TripleSafe sump pump, and then out and away from the home. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space wouldn't have further mold issues by keeping the moisture levels at bay. 

A homeowner contacted John's Waterproofing over concerns that there might be a rodent problem in the crawlspace. This is a common problem that we see because rodents love to nest in old fiberglass insulation and that is just one of the reasons we refuse to use it. A system designer went to inspect the situation and he confirmed that there was an abundance of rat droppings and that the fiberglass insulation had pretty much been destroyed by the critters. He also inspected the exterior of the home for downspout damage, ponding water, etc. and one thing he noted was that the owner had several bird feeders around the property and he pointed out to the owners that, while he understood their enjoyment of the birds, they are a magnet for rodents as well. 

The decision was made to encapsulate the crawlspace to deter rodents, improve the health of the home, and save on utility bills.

When the crew arrived to install the system, they began by clearing the crawlspace of the dirty insulation, old vapor barrier and other odds and ends. They then trenched around the perimeter and installed a 3" perforated pipe drain system that terminated at a SuperSump pump. This is comprised of a 1/3HP Zoeller sump pump and a battery backup to ensure continued service in the event of a power outage.  A layer of TerraBlock flexible foam insulation was laid on the floor followed by a layer of CleanSpace, a 20mil nylon reinforced vapor barrier. The seams of the barrier were sealed and it was used to isolate the posts from any moisture. It was attached to the foundation walls along the rim joists and the vents were sealed with Everlast vent covers. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity to a level where mold could not grow and to filter the air continuously.  A 3" layer of closed cell spray foam was applied to the foundation walls to bring the insulation to industry standards.

When a homeowner visiting a home show discovered that we did attic insulation, they were very interested in what we could do for them. A system designer arrived and when he entered the attic, he discovered that the problem was there was no insulation at all. Not uncommon for an older home. He took measurements and explained how insulating their attic would keep it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer and save them money on their utilities. They were excited to get the work done.

Our crew went to the home and began their work. All of the fans, lighting fixtures, and other voids where air could escape were carefully sealed and the access door was blocked off. The cellulose insulation was then blown into the attic with an insulation blower that takes densely packed bales of cellulose which are fed into the hopper where it is fluffed up and then fed into long tubes and out of the application nozzle. The cellulose is allowed to fill the cavities and blanket the attic floor. No pressure is placed on the loose-fill cellulose insulation so it can settle around and conform to most of the obstructions found in attics. With the job completed, these homeowners could look forward to lower utility bills and a more comfortable home.

A customer called who was flipping a house and knew she needed to get the crawlspace cleaned up. She had flipped several houses so she was well versed in what was expected from future buyers. She called John's Waterproofing because she had used them several times and was happy with the work and that we offered Real Estate discount pricing.  Our Real Estate Specialist went out to measure and take photos and make sure there weren't problems unknown to her.

It was a simple job of removing and replacing the 6 mil vapor barrier and removing the old fiberglass insulation. Our install crews then repaired two vent screens that were in disrepair. They were able to complete the work in just a few hours so the broker could complete readying the property for sale. 

This homeowner was getting their home ready to be sold. They had the general inspection of the home, and learned their crawlspace was not up to code. It had mud sitting on top of the old 6 mil vapor barrier, and some mold spores were showing up along the base of some of the wooden posts. Knowing this could cause issues when trying to sell a home, they called up Johns Waterproofing. 

To have the sale go smoothly we offer our pipe, pump, plastic as the go to for realty homes. To begin, our install crews removed the old vapor barrier and debris from this space. We applied Mold X as needed, and installed a perforated pipe system around the interior of the space. This grades the collected groundwater to a newly installed SuperSump pump plus where water is then sent out and away from the home. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier to have this home ready to go! 

This older home was getting ready to convert their basement to be a useable space. While they had a contractor set up, they were informed that it would be in their best interest to waterproof the space before finishing. They were directed to John's Waterproofing and decided to move forward so they could protect their home and investment. 

Our installation crew arrived and began by installing a WaterGaurd drain system along the basement walls. This would collect water and grade it to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. We then covered and sealed the foundation walls with ThermalDry radiant barrier. This will add a vapor barrier and act as insulation for the foundation walls. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to the space to keep it dry. The space is now ready to be finished and used!

This old farmhouse and its crawlspace had been neglected. It had an old ripped up clear plastic barrier and the home had not met local code requirements for many years. The barrier didn't cover the floor of the crawlspace as required and because it allowed the moisture in the floor to rise, mold was growing on the beams and the subfloor over the crawlspace. The farmhouse needed a big facelift and the new owner, after being shown the benefits of encapsulation, decided this was the right thing to do. 

The crew came out and cleared the crawlspace of all of the debris and the old barrier. They installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed UltraSump pump, along with proper discharge safely away from the foundation. Next, TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor. It aids in properly insulating the crawlspace and protecting the new CleanSpace vapor barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and anchored along the foundation walls. To address the homes humidity issues, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and all the vents were sealed. As a final piece, we used a closed cell Spray Foam insulation on the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated, allowing the homes energy costs to go down. 

A homeowner called because he was very concerned about the condition of his crawlspace and how it could affect his family's health. A System Designer was sent to the home and began inspecting the crawlspace, taking photos to show the homeowner of the damages there were and explain how John's Waterproofing could address it. Due to the mold spores present and the early set signs of wood rot and falling insulation, one of the options presented was a crawlspace encapsulation, after discussing the health benefits encapsulation provides for the home and family the homeowner opted for this.

To begin our crew removed the old 6mil vapor barrier and falling fiberglass insulation and debris. The crew then placed a TripleSafe sump pump and fans in the crawlspace to dry it out sufficiently before we could continue working. A couple of weeks later, the crew returned and they installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to the sump pump, along with proper discharge away from the foundation. 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 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, a single cell spray foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated. Healthy, dry, filtered air helps the homeowners stay healthy and comfortable

After buying his new home, this homeowner was dismayed to find his crawlspace was a mess. There was wood chip debris everywhere and a sump pump that wasn't working. After learning that the original installers of this system had gone out of business, he did some research and called up John's Waterproofing. A System Designer was scheduled and when he arrived, he did a thorough examination of the crawlspace and exterior areas so he could compose a proposal for the homeowner.  Under the home, there was a lot of debris, no system to direct the amount of water present to the pump and, improper installation of the sump pump. 

When the crew arrived to do the work, they removed the old 6mil vapor barrier, general debris, and the inoperable pump to prepare for the new system. They installed a 3" perforated pipe system around the perimeter of the crawlspace and terminated it at the low point of the crawlspace which was where the new SuperSump pump system was installed, along with an UltraSump battery backup to ensure that the system would be operational in the event of a power outage. The discharge line then directed all collected water safely out and away from the home. Lastly, a new 6mil black plastic vapor barrier was carefully laid on the floor, well overlapped, and attached to the foundation walls to make sure that any water intrusion by way of the footing would be captured and directed to the system. 

A homeowner contacted one of our System Designers from a referral that a friend gave her. She had a basement that was leaking and it was home to her college-aged son. After meeting with her and measuring everything and taking photos, our System Designer sat down, explained what causes basements to leak, and together they agreed on a plan of action. 

The installation crew arrived and got to work removing walls and framing so they could remove 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install WaterGuard, an award-winning drainage system, specifically designed for basement waterproofing. The WaterGuard terminated at a TripleSafe sump system and discharged into the rain drain system for water removal. A Rockwell egress window well with its durable fiberglass construction and natural rock look and feel was added as well as a large galvanized window well on the other window. Tucked into the back of the flange of the WaterGuard, ThermalDry Wall was attached to the walls that were to be finished with framing and drywall to make sure moisture was driven into the WaterGuard and it aids in insulating the space. BrightWall was added to the unfinished areas to give them a clean semi-finished look and also drive moisture into the drain system.  Our finishing crew followed up by rebuilding the walls in the living area.

It's very distressing for homeowners to find their finished basement is leaking. Having to rebuild is expensive, time-consuming and the space is rendered unusable while the work is being done. This homeowner called to find out why it was leaking after 20 years of being dry and what could be done about it. A System Designer was sent to the home to help. She found that it was leaking at the footing. The System Designer explained how hydrostatic pressure affects this area on the exterior and while original waterproofing often takes care of this problem, over time the original work, especially drains, can wear out and the drains can become compromised by roots and dirt. Hydrostatic pressure can become worse as new construction in the area and insect tunneling create new paths for water intrusion to occur. He explained how WaterGuard, an award-winning drain system could solve her problem and give her a great transferrable warranty. Needing her basement living area back in use, she was sold.

When the crew arrived they began by removing the walls and framing. Next a 6' trench around the perimeter was dug out to prepare for the WaterGuard and sump pump. The WaterGuard was placed in the trench in a bed of gravel and terminated at a TripleSafe sump system, complete with its battery backup pump to ensure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. Concrete was poured over the top of the WaterGuard and smoothed to match the concrete floor, only leaving a 1/2 flange on the back of the WaterGuard and for driving moisture into the WaterGuard from the walls with any one of our wall systems.  In this instance, BrightWall was chosen to give the basement a semi-finished look. Made of durable PVC it's easy to keep clean, quick to install, and cost-effective. In very little time, this space was ready to be used.

The homeowners noticed that water was found pooling in their crawlspace on the northern side of their home. They knew this wasn't healthy for their home, so they reached out for some help. They had heard about french drains on the exterior of the home, but knew this would require their landscaping to be torn up and disturbed around the entire parameter of their home. Searching for a better solution, they reached out to John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew provided a solution, and began by removing the general debris from under their home. They also discovered that two of the wooden posts had water logged into them, causing rot. These were both removed, and replaced with SmartJacks. Next a three inch perforated pipe system was installed in a silt sock around the parameter of the crawlspaces interior. This graded the water to a SuperSump pump in the lowest spot and then discharged the water safely out and away from the home. We then used a 6 Mil vapor barrier, this was run up the walls eighteen inches and overlaid to provide protection against water issues. 

We were called to this home because the homeowner wanted to replace the dirty and falling fiberglass insulation in his crawlspace. The scheduling desk explained that we don't do fiberglass insulation because we feel it's a terribly inferior product and he asked what we do for insulation and she explained encapsulation to him and the benefits it offered and he said he was very interested so an appointment was made for him to meet with a System Designer and learn more about encapsulation and build a proposal. He decided that it was a much better solution and so he opted in.

The installation crew arrived later that month and cleared the crawlspace of all the old dirty fiberglass insulation, the old barrier and other assorted debris to prepare for the encapsulation. The crawlspace showed no evidence of water intrusion so a drain/sump system was unnecessary. The crew laid TerraBlock, a dense, flexible foam barrier that would be the first stage in insulation and protect the CleanSpace barrier from rips and tears on the dirt floor. This was covered with the CleanSpace a 20mil, polyester-woven barrier. All the seams were sealed and it was secured to the foundation walls just below the rim joist. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed and all the vents were sealed and, lastly, a closed cell spray foam was applied to the foundation walls and rim joist to completely seal the crawlspace and complete the encapsulation. 

We were called to this home because the homeowner wanted to replace the dirty and falling fiberglass insulation in his crawlspace. The scheduling desk explained that we don't install fiberglass insulation because we feel it's a terribly inferior product, to offer a quality solution, we do a crawlspace encapsulation. The homeowner was intrigued, so a System Designer was sent out to perform a full inspection and build a proposal.

Though we don't see them often there a more than a few crawlspaces in Oregon with concrete floors. We refer to them as "rat slabs". Such was the case with this home. The System Designer went to the home and discovered that none of the posts had been placed on piers. Although it had a sump pump, it was clear that it was unable to handle the amount of water the space experienced. It was also clear that the base of the posts were rotting out due to repeatedly getting wet and the risk to this home's floors and foundation would gradually become compromised so they would need to be replaced and a second sump pump needed to be added in. The System Designer created a proposal for the homeowner which the homeowner readily accepted.

The installation crew arrived and cleaned all of the dirt from the crawlspace. They installed two Zoeller M98 sump pumps. One was installed in the well where the existing pump was located and the second pump was installed in a culvert outside of the crawlspace. All 14 wooden posts were replaced with new wooden posts on a concrete pier. This homeowner can now be assured that his foundation will be stable for years to come. 

A homeowner realized that his rain drains were a big problem and he made a valiant effort to design and implement a solution to the problem, but after all of his hard work, it failed. He called us to rescue him. A System Designer arrived at the home to do an inspection of the crawlspace and took photos to show the homeowner the water damage. He walked the perimeter of the foundation and surveyed the homeowner's handy work. He could understand the homeowner's thinking but in heavy rain, the water spilled over the top of his creation. He sat with the homeowner and described what the problem was and how John's Waterproofing could solve it to give him peace of mind. The homeowner agreed so the work was scheduled. 

The installation crew arrived and they dismantled the homeowner's work and began making repairs. They removed the vapor barrier and assorted debris and dug a trench around the perimeter of the crawlspace, inserting a 3" perforated pipe that was encased in a silt sock to prevent dirt from getting in. This system grades the collected water to the low spot in the crawlspace where they installed a SmartSump pump. They discharged the pump to a rain drain and all of the rain drains were extended away from the home to LawnScape outlets. We left one happy homeowner. 

This older homes crawlspace had an odd moldy smell, that was getting stronger as time passed. They knew this would damage the homes air quality and could cause the homes longevity to decrease. They wanted to solve the issue, so they called up John's Waterproofing. Our design specialist found the old fiberglass insulation was water heavy and mold was taking hold within the insulation up against the wooden beams of the home. To solve the problem the homeowner was ready to do a full upgrade of their crawlspace. 

To begin out installation crew removed the old insulation and the ruined 6 Mil vapor barrier that was present. We then applied Mold X2 along the wooden beams as needed. Next a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the lowest point of the crawlspace. This will collect the groundwater and divert it safely away from the home. The dirt floor was then insulated with TerraBlock, and the walls were insulated with SilverGlo. Each vent cover was replaced and sealed up. As a final step we brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven vapor barrier was inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls under the rim joists and fully sealed into place. The home smelled better right away, and the energy bills went down!  

This homeowner was upgrading their kitchen sink, and had purchased a new faucet. However, while looking to install it, they found it to be a bit harder than expected. They didnt want to mess up the installation, so they called up Johns Waterproofing. We had installed their water heater a couple of years back, so they were happy to invite our plumbers out again. They arrived, turned off the water and quickly switched out the old faucet for the new one. They turned on the water and checked that everything was set up and sealed as it should be. The homeowners were happy with how quick and easy it went! 

This home had a 6 Mil vapor barrier, but quickly found that they had more groundwater than expected when heavy rains made water appear over the vapor barrier. They called up John's Waterproofing and we had a design specialist come out. The home was still pretty new and no moisture or cracks were found along the foundation walls, all water was coming up through the dirt floor. We then worked with the homeowners to craft a solution to suit their needs and their budget. 

We removed the old vapor barrier. We then dug a trench through the crawlspace and laid in a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect the groundwater and naturally grade it to a newly installed SmartSump. This will then pump all groundwater safely out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. We can this up the foundation walls and overlapped it to help this home stay safe from water. 

This homes crawlspace had a damp odor in it, and whenever the homeowners used their heater, this odor was brought up into the home.  To address this issue they tried to look under the home.  While they saw dust and debris, no standing water was found,  but the smell was definitely coming from under the home.  To get to the bottom of the issue,  they called up John's Waterproofing. Our design specialist found that the spaces humidity level was high,  and this was causing mold spores to grow on the wooden beams and posts, causing the damp and nasty odor. 

To truly solve the issue the homeowners opted for a crawlspace encapsulation.  We began by removing the old vapor barrier and debris. We then applied Mold X as needed throughout the area.  We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock. Next came CleanSpace. This 20 mil woven barrier is inserted under the posts to isolate them from moisture. It is also anchored under the rim joist and sealed into place. A few days later our spray Foam specialist arrived and insulated the foundation walls. As a final step we sealed off the vents and undertakes a SaniDry Dehumidifier to keep this home dry and healthy.  

This home's exterior entrance to the crawl space was a piece of plywood. The plywood was rotting and squishy, and water would pool around it, pushing into the crawl space. The homeowners wanted a better solution, so they called up John's Waterproofing. After performing a full interior and exterior inspection, the design specialist worked to craft a solution for the home and the family's budget. 

To begin, our crew pulled the debris out from under the home. We then installed an EverLast door so it won't rot or mold, and can keep water from going under the home. We then replaced the screens on all of the crawlspace vents. As a final step, we laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier. The homeowners were happy with the upgrade and know that the vapor barrier will need to be changed out every few years to keep the home protected. 

After homeowners noticed water was pooling in their crawlspace, they did their research and called up John's Waterproofing. During our inspection we found that the local high water table was causing the crawlspace to flood pretty regularly. To address the homes needs we purposed an encapsulation to properly protect their home. 

To begin our crew did a full dry out of the space. After a couple weeks we were able to go back out, and remove the debris and old insulation. We then upgraded the spaces exterior entrance to an EverLast Well and EverLast doorway. This will help to keep the home from molding, and keep water from entering the crawlspace. Each vent was then sealed up. Throughout the space, we then dug a trench and laid in a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest point, where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is sent well away from the home. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock. Next we laid out CleanSpace, a 20 Mil vapor barrier. With the space sealed up we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier, and applied spray foam to the foundation walls. 

The homes unfinished basement had some water leaking into it. The homeowners had seen our ad online, and were interested in how we could help their basement be dry and healthy. We set up to have a design specialist go out to perform a full inspection. We found that water was coming in through the foundation walls, due to hydrostatic pressure. To address the issue we would need to install a drainage system with a wall system in place as well. 

To begin our installation crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement. Here we installed WaterGuard in a bed of gravel. The walls then had BrightWall paneling attached. This waterproof material wont mold or rot, but will divert any wall moisture down the walls and into the drain system. The drain system then naturally grades to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump which pushes the water safely out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The homeowners were thrilled with how much brighter and cleaner the basement looks, and are happy to know they wont need to stress about water issues here. 

The homeowners could smell a nasty odor throughout their home. They tried a deep clean of their home, and didnt notice a change. After sniffing around more, they determined the smell was coming from the crawlspace. They opened up the crawlspace entrance in their closet and found standing water throughout the space, with the water higher than the post footings. Knowing that water can cause long term damage to wood, they called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin working on this space, we needed to dry it out. We brought in a temporary sump pump and fans, and dried the space out. A week later we returned. The home had six wooden posts beyond repair. We replaced these with SmartJacks. To ensure the space remains stable, we added in an additional four SmartJacks to keep this home safe. We then applied MoldX as needed, and installed a full drainage system to collect groundwater and send it along to the lowest spot. In this place we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to push all the water out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid out a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. This home will now remain dry and healthy, and the odd odor is gone!

A basement with water, isnt a healthy environment. It attracts water mold, condensation, and if humidity issues are present then rot can occur. This homeowner had an unfinished basement, and water condensation would appear on the basement windows and some water mold was taking hold on some of the items stored down here. The homeowners were ready for a solution to their homes water problem, and called up John's Waterproofing for options.

To begin working on this home, our crew used jackhammers to break out a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we installed our WaterGuard drainage system on a bed of gravel. The foundation walls were then covered in BrightWall paneling. This will send any water from the walls down and into the drain system. The water then travels along to a SuperSump Plus to push water out and away from the home. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space dry and healthy. 

After living in this home for many years, the homeowners noted that the exterior crawlspace entry was rotting along the bottom, they pulled of the cover and found standing water throughout the crawlspace. They called up John's Waterproofing and signed up for a free inspection and estimate. Upon inspection we found that twelve of the wooden posts were rotting away from extended water damage. The homeowners were eager to waterproof their home to protect it from issues. 

To begin out work, we had to do a dry out of the space. Once the space was dry enough for us to waterproof, we began by addressing the rotting entrance. We removed this and installed a new EverLast Well and EverLast Door. These cannot rot or mold and will ensure water stays out of the crawlspace from this spot. We then ventured under the home and replaced the 12 rotting posts with our SmartJacks. These will not rot or mold, and they add in the structural stability a home needs. Next an interior drainage system was installed consisting off a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and naturally grade it along to a newly installed SmartSump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace, where water is then pushed out and away from the home. As a final step we laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the wall. This will need to be changed out every few years. 

This homeowner gave us a call, their neighbor had been installing a new fence line, and one of their fence posts hit the water line from the street to the home. This was causing excessive flooding and the homes water bills rocketed. They dug down to see the extent of the damage and knew it was no simple task, a professional was needed. We send out our plumbing department who removed the damaged portion of the pipe, and inserted a replacement section with couplings and clamps. The water line was tested to ensure it was attached with no leaks or issues. Once confirmed, the pipe was buried once more. The homeowner was happy with how quick the problem was fixed. 

This home flooding issues, both in the crawlspace as well as around the homes foundation, specifically around the downspouts. They could see the water was up against the homes wooden posts and knew this could lead to issues. They did some research and decided to call up John's Waterproofing for some help. We sent out a design specialist who performed a full inspection both under the home and around the exterior. To begin helping out we addressed the exterior. We extended the downspouts into the ground and installed a drainage system that would guide the water under the yard to be dispelled safely away from the home. As we did this, we set up the crawlspace with a dry out. As was, the space was to wet to work in, so we had to make the space maneuverable. When the space was dried out we installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest spot to collect groundwater and send it out and away from the home. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier and applied Mold X2 as needed.  

This old home had cold floors, the homeowners were used to wearing warm socks, but weren't pleased with how year after year, their energy bills were going up. They began searching online about ways to lower their homes energy bills. This was how they stumbled upon crawlspace insulation. They hadn't really thought about their crawlspace, and decided to glance under the home, finding the old fiberglass insulation in shreds, dripping water into the puddles on the dirt floor. They called up John's Waterproofing to see how we could help. 

To begin, our crews pulled out the old fiberglass insulation and debris from under the home. We then installed a TripleSafe in the lowest spot, the crawlspace had a natural slope, so no drain system was needed. The sump pump would dispel water well away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. To properly insulate we then laid down TerraBlock along the dirt floor and SilverGlo along the foundation walls. These were then sealed into place with CleanSpace. This is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and tapped into place with a special four inch wide waterproof tape. Each vent was covered up and the space was air sealed with Spray Foam. To ensure moisture wouldn't occur we then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The home will now retain its heat and the homeowners called a few weeks later thrilled that their floors were staying warmer. 

After a damp Spring, the homeowners went under their home and discovered condensation on the foundation walls in their crawlspace. No excessive puddling was present, but the wet to the touch was an issue, especially since some wooden support beams were damp. To put an end to this water issue, they called up John's Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection and crafted a solution to suit the home and homeowners needs. 

To begin our crew pulled out the debris from under the home. We had a few places that needed Mold X2, and once those were addressed we installed a drainage system. This included a perforated pipe in a silt sock along the interior perimeter to guide water along to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump which then dispels the water out and away from the home. Next we laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and then encased the space with CleanSpace. This goes under each wooden post, anchors along the foundation walls, and secures in place with a four inch waterproof tape. The walls were then insulated with Spray Foam and each vent was sealed closed. As a final step we brought in a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space truly dry and healthy from here on out. 

This hillside house had water pooling at the low spot in their crawlspace, and with the idea of mold and rot threatening, the homeowners knew they would need to address things before they worsened. While the homeowners were not ready financially to have a full encapsulation, they did want to begin working towards this long term solution. To begin this process, they had us clear out the crawlspace and install a drain system. This would collect the groundwater and grade it down to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump which sends water safely out to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier, and will check in with the homeowners in a few years about upgrading their system. 

When odd smells seem to be getting worse, even when you are keeping your home clean, it is time to look outside of your living spaces. This is how these homeowners found their crawlspace to be the source of the smells. Under their home had been attracting some unwanted critters, and they had been leaving their mark through the crawlspace. While not a major pest issue, the smell was terrible. After searching online, the homeowners decided to call up John's Waterproofing and get a solution to their below grade issues. 

The homeowners decided to do a full encapsulation. While no major water issues were present, they wanted to ensure critters would be deterred from coming back. Our encapsulation seals the space off, and the CleanSpace vapor barriers 20 Mil, woven material makes it difficult to chew through. It also comes with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. They system includes the vents being fully sealed up, and the Cleanspace attaches along the foundation, making is so critters and insects cant find a way in. We also install a SaniDry dehumidifier to make the crawlspace environment unwelcome to critters. This home can now stay healthy and that nasty smell is a thing of the past. 

This homeowner knew they needed crawlspace repairs. While no standing water was present, the space was damp to the touch, and the old vapor barrier had dirt over it. The homeowners were searching online for a long-term solution and strolled across our website. From here they were curious about encapsulation, and called to schedule their free inspection. Our design specialist went out and discovered that high humidity was an issue in this crawlspace which was causing condensation to occur. 

To begin helping with this home our crew cleared out the crawlspace. We then installed a SmartSump in the lowest spot, this sump pump will only kick on if heavy rains occur and it will send unwanted water out and away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and sealed up with vents. We then brought in CleanSpace. This 20 Mil vapor barrier is installed under each wooden post, anchored to the walls and sealed into place. The walls were then air sealed and insulated with Spray Foam. As a final step to keep the space healthy we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. This crawlspace can now be dry and healthy! 

Heavy Rains caused this crawlspace to experience standing water, this had occurred for years and eventually left the homes wooden posts to suffer from rot. This left the homeowners wondering how their home would hold up over the years. To ensure their home would remain safe over the years, they called up John's Waterproofing to receive their free inspection. The design specialist found the downspouts were a major issue for this home, and that a some structural repairs would be needed.  

To begin our installation crew addressed the exterior issues. We extended the downspouts down into the ground where we installed a drainage pipe to direct the collected roof water well away from the homes foundation. We then cleared out the crawlspace and replaced the three rotting posts with SmartJacks. A trench was then dug through the crawlspace where we installed a three inch perforated drain pipe in a silt sock to direct water to a newly installed SuperSump Plus to then send the water out away from the home. We then laid out a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges to help protect the space. The homeowners know that this 6 Mil barrier will need to be replaced every few years, or they may upgrade to an encapsulation when they are ready.  

Checking under the home should be a normal part of maintenance for a home.  This homeowner would venture under their home once a summer to ensure the crawlspace was in good order.  This year when they checked,  they found condensation on the wooden beams and foundation walls.  With water threatening the wooden aspects of their home,  they opted at call John's Waterproofing to schedule an inspection. 

After having their home checked,  the design specialist say down with the homeowners and discussed what was happening in the home, and their options. The biggest issue that this home faced was humidity related. To begin work,  we pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed an UltraSump pump in the lowest spot of the crawlspace.  This will collect any groundwater and send it safely out and away from the home.  We then laid down TerraBlock and sealed up the vents. Next Cleanspace was brought in to seal up the space. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and Spray Foam applied to the foundation walls.  A small amount of Mold X was applied as needed. 

Due to a high water table, this home had been dealing with water in the crawlspace since purchasing the home. They had installed a store bough sump pump, but they still found moisture accumulating on the 6 Mil vapor barrier that was present. They weren't sure if they installed it wrong, needed a high powered pump, or what route to go, so they called up John's Waterproofing for professional help. We sent out a design specialist who inspected the home and discussed options, landing on an encapsulation to provide a long-term solution. 

To begin working, our installation crew pulled out the old vapor barrier, debris, as well as the old sump pump. We then dug a trench through the crawlspace and installed a drainage system to guide ground water to a low spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. Water is then sent safely out and away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid out TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace. The CleanSpace is installed under each wooden post, attached along the rim joist, and fully secured into place and sealed off the vents. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed and spray foam applied to the foundation walls to keep this space dry and healthy year round! 

When searching for a company to choose for crawlspace repairs, this homeowner read through reviews, and testimonials, landing on John's Waterproofing. They called us up to schedule their free inspection. Our design specialist found the space drafty and damp, and when asked, the homeowners exclaimed their heating and cooling costs had been rising. In the end the decided to have an encapsulation installed, stating that the science behind it really sold them on the system. 

To begin our work, we cleared out the old fiberglass that was in disrepair, as well as the old vapor barrier. We then installed a SmartSump with an UltraSump battery backup. This is installed in the lowest spot to collect groundwater and divert it well away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor and SilverGlo insulation over the foundation walls. This seals off all of the old vents, making this space sealed. We then brought in CleanSpace, installing it under each wooden post, anchoring it along the foundation walls, and sealing it fully into place. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space remains dry and healthy!

When the first warm day of the summer hit, this homeowner decided to glance under the home to see how the crawlspace was holding up. When they looked, they discovered moisture on the wooden beams. Knowing water and wood can causing issues, they called up John's Waterproofing to get some help. We scheduled their free inspection and sent out a specialist to assist and make their home dry and healthy once more. 

To begin on this project we pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris that had been left under the home. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down a perforated pipe in a silt sock to collect groundwater. We graded this system to the lowest spot of the space where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to dispel the water well away from the home. TerraBlock insulation was then laid over the dirt floor. CleanSpace was then installed, inserted under each wooden post, attached along the rim joists and sealed into place. Next we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the crawlspaces humidity levels at a healthy level. As a final step our spray foam installer applied spray foam insulation along the foundation walls.

This home had settled over the years, what once was a standard crawlspace, it was now very tight to fit into and filled with miscellaneous yard debris, that was touching the base of the homes wooden posts. They knew this could cause structural issues, and called up John's Waterproofing to get some help. They scheduled their free inspection. 

To begin helping the home, an exterior entrance was created, involving cutting into the concrete and installing an EverLast Access Well and Entrance. Here the crew was able to enter the crawlspace to remove the debris and dirt until the homes crawlspace was up to local codes. Once the space was cleared out, it was found that twelve of the wooden posts were rotting and needed to be replaced with SmartJacks to stabilize the home. A full interior perimeter drain system was then installed to guide groundwater to a newly installed SmartSump pump which dispels the water out to a LawnScape outlet. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was laid down throughout, while this will need to be replaced every few years, the home is now up to code and a much healthier space! 

When a plumbing issue occurs, the race is on. This homeowner called us to request plumbing work, their old pipes sprung a leak to the kitchen sink. They had turned on the faucet, heard a noise, and the water pressure to the sink dropped. Luckily they were able to get the water turned off to the kitchen, but they knew they would need help. Our plumbing division went out and saw the old pipes had rusted and cracked. They would need to be replaced. The plumbers removed the damaged old pipes and installed a new system to the faucet. While there they examined the rest of the houses pipes, checking for any other points that could crack soon. Luckily for the homeowner nothing else had cracked through the rust yet, but they would need to re-plumb the rest of the house in the next five or so years or else more issues would sprout up. They re-tested the kitchen sink, and happy with the work, headed out. The homeowner was pleased with how friendly and knowledgeable the team was, and are so happy their kitchen sink can be used again. 

This new home already had water present in two places in the crawlspace. The homeowners wanted to ensure their home would last, so they knew the water would need to be properly addressed. They called up John's Waterproofing to hear about the long-term solutions we could provide to protect their investment. After hearing about a full encapsulation, they liked the science behind the system and the warranties to back it up. 

To begin our crew dried out the wet spots and removed the general debris from the area. The area had a natural downgrade so no drainage system would be needed to guide water to the lowest spot of the crawlspace. Here we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect the water and send it well away from the home. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation over the dirt floor. Each vent was covered and CleanSpace was installed. It went under each wooden post, attached along the walls, and is secured into place. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to control the spaces high humidity issues and Spray Foam was applied along the foundation walls. 

When water is found on top of the vapor barrier, it is easy to know what high water has been an issue. This homeowner had looked under their home and found small pools of water on their old 6 Mil vapor barrier. There was also mud and debris, a sure sign that this home needed a new vapor barrier and some additional work. We scheduled them for a free inspection where a design specialist went over their options to find a solution that suited their budget. 

To begin we had to do a full dry-out. Once the space was dry enough for our crew to perform their work, they pulled out the old vapor barrier and the debris. Next, they dug a trench around the interior perimeter, laying down a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect the groundwater and naturally grade it to the lowest spot where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. From here the water is pumped out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the wall. This will need to be monitored, as a 6 Mil vapor barrier needs to be replaced every few years, but the new pipe and pump will keep water from rising over the barrier, prolonging its usefulness. 

When pooling water ends up next to a homes foundation, this causes excessive water pressure, and leads to water in the crawlspace. This homes gutter downspouts were dumping the collected water next to the home, and as a result, the crawlspace had water pooling along the foundation walls. To address this, the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing. After discussing options, they chose to address their downspouts and install drain system and new vapor barrier. 

To begin each downspout was extended into the ground and an underwater drain system was installed to divert the roof water safely away from the foundation. Under the home, the old vapor barrier and debris was fully removed. Some mold X2 was applied as some spores had been found. A drainage system was installed to collect groundwater and this was run to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump to be guided away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was then installed, with overlapping edges. This simple vapor barrier will need to be replaced every few years, or upgraded to an encapsulation to keep this space dry and healthy. 

To prepared for the unexpected, this homeowner wanted to have a whole home generator installed. They called up John's Waterproofing after learning we were the local Cummins dealer. John's is in a good position in which we can do the project in house from start to finish! To begin our crew set up a flat surface for the generator to be set upon. The generator was placed and we had our plumbers and electricians run lines from the home to the generator. Each line was installed and checked to ensure things were all in place. This generator hooks directly into the electrical panel and will switch on should any power outage occur. 

Mold, in a damp environment where no one ventures, it can spread quickly and begin emitting a damp and odd odor. This homeowner had been cleaning throughout their home trying to identify why the home smelt so off. Only after searching around for a few weeks did they glance in the crawlspace. They ended up discovering their old fiberglass was housing mold, and the mold had spread onto the wooden beams of the home. They had a mold remediation company come out and address the issue, but they were informed that with the space still open to the elements, the mold could be expected to come back in a few years and need to be treated again. Knowing they didn't want to deal with this issue, they decided to search for a solution to keep their home dry and healthy. After having their free inspection with John's Waterproofing, they opted to have a full encapsulation. 

Our crew began by clearing the crawlspace out. We then installed a drainage system, consisting of a perforated pipe in a silt sock, carefully graded to the lowest spot where a TripleSafe sump pump was installed. The space was insulated with TerraBlock and the vents sealed off. We then brought in CleanSpace, which goes under each wooden post, attaches along the rim joists and seals into place. Spray Foam was applied to the foundation walls, acting as an air seal and insulation. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to make the space dry and healthy for the homeowners. 

This home was purchased with the intention to flip! The home was gutted and getting redone. During the process, mold was discovered in the crawlspace and would need to be addressed to protect the homes foundation. They called up John's Waterproofing as they had used John's for their own home. We ended up pulling out the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a perforated pipe to collect groundwater and grade it along to a newly installed SuperSump Plus to dispel the water away from the home. We then applied MoldX as needed and replaced the vent screens that had been damaged. As a final step we laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier and let the owners know that the crawlspace should be checked regularly, since the space is still open to the elements and not encapsulated, the mold can be expected to come back. 

This homes attic was used for storage, and it needed to be addressed.  The original insulation in this space was rolls of fiberglass that had been attached to the roof. But over the years,  these had fallen down and the homes heating and cooling costs had been going up over the years.  To get control of their energy costs again,  they called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection and heat about our attic insulation. 

To begin our work,  we pulled out the old insulation and debris. With the space cleared out,  we then went around the attic and air sealed. This meant addressing each protrusion, dealing around the can lights, and any wires that ran through this space.  We than installed new soffits and blew in cellulose insulation. Since the space is used for storage, we also built in a decking space for the homeowner to fit their items on safely.  The homeowners are pleased that their home feels cozier already!  

With a muddy mess accumulating near the homes downspouts, the homeowners began to wonder how this would affect their crawlspaces health. They glanced under the home and shined a flashlight around, noting that standing water was in a few places. They decided to call up John's Waterproofing for a thorough inspection and see what their options were to address them. After our design specialist crawled under the home and performed a fill inspection on the exterior of the home it was confirmed that the standing water under the home, corresponded with where the downspouts sat outside of the home. We went over a few different options with different cost options, and settled on the solution that best fit the homeowners needs and budget. 
To begin our crew extended the downspouts into the ground and installed a drainage system for the downspouts water to be sent safely away from the homes foundation. We then went under the home and cleared out the old vapor barrier and debris. A full perimeter trench was dug where we installed a drainage system in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and grade it naturally to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump which we installed in the lowest point of the crawlspace. From here the water is pumped out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the walls a bit to help protect the space. This vapor barrier will need to be replaced every few years, or they can upgrade to a full encapsulation to provide a long term solution should they wish to do so. 

This homeowner called up John's Waterproofing since their old vapor barrier was torn up in multiple spots. They could see the damp earth and some mold spores were appearing.  To keep the damp from negativity affecting their homes life,  they wanted to talk about long term solutions.  After a full inspection,  the design specialist recommended a crawlspace encapsulation to address all crawlspace concerns. The homeowners liked how comprehensive this solution was and got into our schedule.  

To begin,  our crew cleaned out the crawlspace. This entails removing the old vapor barrier,  old fiberglass insulation,  as well as the general debris that was present. We then installed a full drainage system to collect groundwater and guide it to a newly installed SuperSump Plus which pumps the water safely away from the home. TerraBlock insulation was laid out over the dirt floor and the vents were sealed shut. We then brought in CleanSpace,  a 20 mil woven vapor barrier that fully seals the crawlspace. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air healthy.  As a final step we applied Spray Foam to the foundation walls to insulate and air seal.  The Homeowner is thrilled with how clean and healthy the space is now 

The home was on the market, but during the inspection, the crawlspace was discovered to be to tight to meet local code requirements. To have the home ready for sale, it would need to have this issue addressed. The inspector suggested they call John's Waterproofing to use their Fix it To List it program. They called them up and got their quote for a full dig-out and our realty crawlspace package; a pipe, pump and plastic. 

To begin, our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris that was present. We then used shovels to clear out an average of six inches of dirt throughout the crawlspace to bring it to local code. Once the space met the height requirements we installed a full drainage system in the crawlspace. This is a perforated pipe in a silt sock. The groundwater will be collected within this and graded to the lowest point of the crawlspace where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which then sends the water safely out and away from the homes foundation. We then brought in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, the edges were layered over one another and run up the wall. This will allow the vapor barrier to last a bit longer, but since it is a simple 6 Mil, it will need to be replaced in a few years. For a long term solution, the buyers can upgrade to a full encapsulation should they want to. 

Out of sight, out of mind. That is until this home began experiencing some bouncy floors, doors sticking in the door frame, and musty odd odors coming up from their crawlspace. The homeowners began to wonder what was going on under their home, and decided to take a look. They discovered the old vapor barrier was crusted over with a thick layer of dried mud, and some of the wooden posts were hovering above their footing. The homeowners knew they needed some crawlspace repairs, and called up John's Waterproofing to receive their free inspection. 

To begin with this home, we had to clean the space out, removing the old vapor barrier, remnants of the old fiberglass, and debris that was present. We then replaced 12 wooden posts with SmartJacks. The old posts were rotting, or hanging above their footings and the new SmartJacks provide the needed structural support to protect the homes stability. A full drainage system was installed, with a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest spot, which will pump all water away from the home. We then insulated the floor with TerraBlock and closed off the vents. CleanSpace was than installed, going under each post, attaching to the foundation, and sealed into place. We installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and applied spray foam along the walls to finish insulating the space. This home can now rest assured it is safe against water issues and will remain dry and healthy.

This homeowner had a basement that they wanted to have finished. While they couldn't detect water yet, the contractors they had selected for finishing the space highly recommended waterproofing before they did their work to ensure their investment would be protected. The homeowners figured it was better to get that handled beforehand, so they called up John's Waterproofing for their free inspection. 
To begin our work we dug a full trench along the basement walls from the inside. Here we install the drain system. This is our WaterGuard system on a bed of gravel. It collects the water and grades it to a low point in the basement where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. From there water is pumped safely out and away from the home. We then installed our ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier on the foundation walls. This will act as a vapor barrier and insulate the walls before they and finished. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The space is fully prepped to now be finished. 

This homeowner had flooding in the crawlspace. They had not been ready for investing in their crawlspace, so this was a shock, but they knew it would need to be dealt with so long term water damage wouldn't occur. They called up John's Waterproofing to get their free inspection and decided on the solution that would fit their homes needs and their current budget. 

To begin our work, we did a full dry-out, pumping out the excess water and drying the space. Once done we were able to pull out the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home. To ensure the space wouldn't flood again, we installed a drainage system. This involved a three inch perforated pipe in a silt sock that goes around the interior of the crawlspace. This will collect groundwater and guide it to the lowest point, where a TripleSafe sump pump will then pump the water safely out and away from the homes foundation. The sump pump was hooked up to a new electrical outlet installed by our electrical division, and new 6 Mil vapor barrier was installed. 

This homes living spaces smelled of mold. After searching around the living spaces and finding no mold, they glanced under the home. The odor was much worse here, and the homeowners saw the old fiberglass was hanging and blackened from mold. To address this they would need a professional. They scheduled with John's Waterproofing and found a solution that would suit their needs and their budget. 

To begin we removed the old insulation and vapor barrier. We then applied Mold X2 as needed throughout the space. This will kill all of the present mold. To deter water issues we then installed a full interior perimeter drainage system to collect and guide the groundwater to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. This will discharge all water safely away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was laid throughout the space. Since the area is still open to the elements, it will need to be checked regularly to ensure the mold isn't back and to check the 6 Mil for when it will need to be replaced or upgraded. 

This older home still it is original knob and tube wiring. The homeowners were ready for an upgrade and called up Johns Waterproofing to speak with our electrical division. Our crew went through and updated the wires for the whole home, bringing the electrical needs of the home into the modern era. In the process we updated the living room light fixture to a fan/light. We also upgraded the homes electrical outlets. All but three of the outlets within the home were ungrounded, so these were switched out to help keep the home safe. 

With some new upgrades done in the home, the homeowners knew they would need to upgrade their electrical panel. It was old and was no longer able to properly handle new appliance and electronics needs. If the panel wasn't replaced, this could lead to either sluggish performance or a dangerous failure. The homeowners called up John's Electric to get a quote and then move forward with us. Our electricians went out and installed a new panel and wired it up properly to the home's electronic elements. With the new panel we were also able to run wires to install a few new outlets as requested by the owners. this home will now be ready for the new era of electronics and be safe! 

This old home had the crawl space flooding often during the rainy season. Knowing that long term water damage would lead to costly repairs, the owners knew they would need to address the water head on. They called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection and discuss options. In the end they landed on a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic solution. We cleared the space of its old vapor barrier and debris. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter, laying in a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This collects ground water and grades it to the lowest point where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump which will then direct the water safely away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was laid down, with the edges overlapping and run up the walls. The vapor barrier will need to be replaced every few years, but the area will no longer flood. 

This home was just purchased and the homeowners were flipping it. There would be a lot of updates, and one thing that needed to be addressed was the crawl space. The old vapor barrier hadn't been replaced in far to long, and was a torn mess, covered in dried mud. To solve this issue and have the home addressed properly, they called up John's Waterproofing. They choose to have us install our pipe, pump, and plastic. We removed the old vapor barrier and debris. A full interior drainage system as installed and graded to the lowest point of the crawl space. Here we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect the ground water and send it safely away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, which will need to be replaced or upgraded in a few years. 

During the inspection process, water was found in this homes crawl space. Needing to address this before being able to move forward with a sale, John's Waterproofing was called in. Using our Realty program we got the ball rolling to be able to meet the time constraints that generally accompany real estate transactions. To get the space selling ready, we would do a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic. We dried the crawl space out, removed the old vapor barrier and debris. We then dug a trench through the crawl space and installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This will collect groundwater and guide it to the lowest point, where a SuperSump Plus is installed to pump the water away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier was then laid down, over lapping the edges and run up the wall. The 6 Mil will need to be replaced or upgraded after a few years to keep the crawl space protected. 

A brand new refrigerator, and with built in water and ice machine. However, the home had not been set up for this. With the fridge in place, a new waterline would need to be installed to use the new features. The homeowners called up John's Plumbing Division to get the job done! Our plumber arrived and crawled under the home. He ran a new line with its own on/off switch over to where the fridge is located. The new water line was run up through the floor and connected to the refrigerator. The water was turned on and the new plumbing was all checked. With everything in working order, the job was complete!
