Dependable Multnomah County Waterproofing & Home Services Contractor

Shawn had a wet basement in his otherwise fabulous Portland home. Our team came in and installed a partial WaterGuard system. While this took care of the water coming into the basement, it was not a full solution. During one of our proactive service appointments Shawn complained he still had some damp areas in his basement and odor issues. Our service technician recommended finishing the WaterGuard system, and installing a SaniDry dehumidifier to reduce the moisture in the basement.  Shawn could  finally finish his basement remodeling and add more living space to his beautiful Portland home. We also gave him information about Total Basement finishing and our line of products designed specifically for basement environments.

This job was unique. This home had a basement with an attached tunnel that led to a tool shed. Upon entering the tunnel you were able to see areas where the water came in through tiny cracks along the wall and top of the tunnel. The basement was more of the same, as well as the garage. Considering the house was in preparation for sale, the owners new the problem had to be addressed.

Our company came in and installed our WaterGuard system, Drain mat, and a French drain system to address any water that may seep into the home. We also installed ThermalDry Flooring and an Egress Rockwell to add a finished beauty to the system.

The homeowners wrote us this lovely letter to talk about their experience with John's Waterproofing Company:

"We are writing to express how completely satisfied we are with all the John's Waterproofing folks who have guided us through the process of finding a solution to our basement woes. It was only months ago that we could be found washing and drying towels after sopping up water from the basement bedroom and garage floors. Since the new waterproofing system has been completed, we have endured several stretches of rainy days without any problems. We couldn't be happier!

Your staff has been especially helpful in so many ways. Jacob Bilyeu deserves a special thanks for conceiving the system that would capture any water seeping through the walls and floors of our basement bedroom, the tunnel leading down to our garage and the garage itself. I have happily explained to family & friends how the network of Thermal Dry, Water Guard & Drain Mat in the basement bedroom collects water that may seep into the bedroom conveying it to the French drain & Drain mat under the tunnel floor, down to join water that collects in the Water Guard on the perimeter of our garage, and out to the gutter. Your technicians have been most helpful in showing me how to flush the system from two access locations; information I will pass on to the new owner of the house. Of course Egress Rockwell adds beauty to the egress window installed by Lifetime Windows.

We also wish to express great appreciation for the flexibility of scheduling that John's showed which allowed us to arrange for All-American Concrete, Lifetime Windows and our carpenter who did the framing in the basement bedroom to fit us into their busy schedules in order for us to get our house on the market in a timely fashion. Allowing our multiple contractors to have access to a John's Waterproofing representative while doing their part of the project was a critical step in interfacing all efforts. For her efforts and cooperation we must especially thank the scheduler for helping to make it all happen!

The men who labored hard to prepare our house and install your technology deserve credit as well. Manuel and his crew did great work and took the time to explain how the system would work once completed.

After searching the internet for methods of trying to achieve a dry basement we settled on John's philosophy of directing water that manages to find its way into a house. We will make an effort to share that information with other homeowners who seek the same solution as we did. A good start will be our positive report to Angie's List. Thanks to you and all of your staff for what appears to have been a very successful job! Let it rain."

This house now has a beautiful basement room, capable of withstanding the elements and an amazing warranty to go with it. What was once a problem area is now a unique and beautiful feature of the home.

The best way to ensure that your home will not have a leaky basement is to waterproof the exterior walls at new construction. This is less intrusive and can be done rather quickly. After the foundation is poured, and before the dirt is filled in around the home, we install a barrier on the exterior of the home, to keep this space dry and healthy. 

This home owner knew they had musty smells and guessed they might have some moisture issues. (Aside from the one very obvious window leak. They did not expect what they found behind their drywall. Our crew installed a WaterGuard drainage system and will also be installing a wall system to ensure water will not get to the finished walls in the future. 

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. 

This crawlspace in Portland Oregon was complete with standing water and falling insulation. She struggled with water coming in from her open vents and the falling insulation was making her home drafty.  Lupe and his team came and installed our patented CleanSpace Encapsulation system in the crawlspace and the Triple Safe sump pump. This ensures that our homeowner never again has to deal with an unhealthy and wet foundation and can enjoy a safer healthier home for years to come. 

Lupe and his team came in and set to work. The work began by removing Sally's falling wet and moldy insulation. They sprayed and removed the existing mold in the foundation wood with Mold X so that she would no longer have mold moving forward with her new system. Before our crew began work they dried out the space providing a clean work environment to not leave any existing problems that may impact the function of the new system. 

Once dry, our team installed our patented CleanSpace Encapsulation system with Terra Block to insulate from the ground up. Our 20 mil thick CleanSpace provides a thick and reliable waterproof vapor barrier. Her system also includes a Triple Safe sump pump with battery backup to keep groundwater at bay. The SaniDry dehumidifier creates an ideal relative humidity year around to ensure healthy breathable air is flowing up into the home year around. Our crew completed the space by insulating all the perimeter walls with spray foam insulation. 

The Homeowner called because they had damp walls and musty odors. This left the homeowners not wanting to be in their basement, robbing them of valuable space. Our inspector, Bob, came in and provided them with a free estimate, recommending our patented WaterGuard system and gave them an option to finish the basement walls. Excited to finally be rid of the problem, our homeowner happily agreed.

Manuel H. and his team quickly set to work to create Alan's new basement space. The team went through and installed out WaterGuard perimeter drain system. This system ensures that if water does get in to the basement, it's routed into a specific location and directed to our TripleSafe sump pump as opposed to reeking havoc on our homeowner's basement. After ensuring water would no longer be an issue, the team installed BrightWall panels to create a beautiful and bright finished space.

After completing his basement transformation, Alan was over the moon. He was now able to better utilize his space and felt like his home was healthier for his family and their visitors.

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.  

This homeowner was having problems with roof water entering the foundation. Our inspector Ben suggested installing Downspout Extensions. Pedro and his team quickly installed a Lawnscape Outlet which is an underground downspout extension. It connects your downspout to a special LawnScape Outlet sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. It can also connect to a sump pump as a discharge line.

Isaiah is now very happy that water is no longer entering the foundation of the house and likes that the LawnScape outlet is completely camouflaged.

Three homeowners had water migrating through the walls in their basement and called John's Waterproofing out of concern of the negative effects. Our inspector, Travis came up with the perfect solution to help them solve their water issues. He suggested installing Thermal Dry Walls, Bright Wall panels and our patented Waterguard system.

The homeowners quickly agreed to Travis' suggestions and Delfino and his team started waterproofing the basement. They began by installing Thermal Dry walls which improve comfort and energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the basement space. They then installed Bright Wall panels that turn bare basement walls into bright, beautiful finished walls. Bright Wall panels never need paint or any other maintenance and are designed to work with the Waterguard Perimeter Drain system by directing wall seepage into the drain. The drain then channels the water to the sump pump.

Now that our systems are in place, Ben no longer has water entering into his basement and can enjoy his new, dry and usable space.

In this basement, we installed a waterproofing system, along with basement wall systems. The Waterguard perimeter drain system works to channel water into the Triplesafe sump pump, which will then pump the water out of the basement and into an area far away from the home. The wall systems work to add comfort to the basement, while also acting as a vapor barrier against moisture that can seep in through the porous concrete. They will also channel any water that seeps in higher up on the walls into the Waterguard system as well. This basement is now protected against water, moisture and looks great: the perfect foundation for any basement finishing job. 

This home in Portland, Oregon had a basement and crawlspace combination under their home. They both needed waterproofing. We Waterproofed the basement and installed Thermaldry tile flooring since they had planned to finish the basement. Now that the basement was set, the homeowner was able to finish the basement and put up drywall. After they were finished they called us back out to finish the crawlspace section. This presented itself challenging. The access to the crawlspace was a strange one, they had covered it with drywall. It was very small and high up on the basement wall the homeowners had cut out a small space in the drywall so that the crawlspace could still be accessed. Our crew managed to get in the crawlspace though and get the job done! Once the crew got into the space it was not very large either, they installed Cleanspace and Thermaldry wall in the small area to ensure this space would stay dry and clean behind the drywall. The whole space was now waterproof and will stay that way for years to come!

This customer called complaining about water damage in their basement and that they have a hybrid crawlspace area too that collects water that trickles into their basement. Jacob came out to inspect and suggested our full Cleanspace System in the crawlspace as well as drainage and wall systems for the basement. The homeowners were so excited about having a healthy usable space they jumped on the suggestion. Our crews removed all of the wet insulation as well as the torn and dirty vapor that was currently in the crawlspace. Our crews installed a smart drain and perimeter drainage system to prevent catch the water and keep it out of the space. They then finished the space with TerraBlock to provide an extra layer of insulation in the space prior to installing our Cleanspace system and Sanidry Sedona. The crews finished the crawlspace with Spray Foam insulation around the perimeter walls. This will save our customer an average of 30% on their heating and cooling bills over the course of a year. The basement needed a fair amount of work as well. Our crew came in and installed our patented WaterGuard system and finished with walls with BrightWall panels to create a polished finished space. 

Water was leaking into this basement causing structural damage to the cement above and under it. This customer needed quick help to get back on track with their home improvement plans. So we sent out one of our team members right away to inspect his basement and determine how we could fix the problem. 

AJ went out and inspected the basement and suggested we put in our patented WaterGuard system that goes around the perimeter of the basement that drains water unseen safely away. We would also install our Super sump pump that will remove water out of the basement far away from the house. Along with our FloodRing water tank protection system to ensure a watertight seal that contains flooding and an alarm that alerts you if there is a leak. We finished the walls off with ThermalDry wall that keeps moisture and mold out and helps keep heat in. 

He happily agreed to the plan of action and Timothy and his team went right to work. This costumer no longer has to worry about structural damage happening to his home again due to water. 

These homeowners called because they had water leaking from the wall in their finished basement. The water was causing damage to the finished wall and carpeting. So they gave us a call to see what we could do before further damage occurred. 

Our team member Vincent went out to inspect the damage and where the water was coming from. He recommended that we install our patented WaterGuard system along with our TripleSafe sump pump. Our WaterGuard system drains into the sump pump unseen. While the TripleSafe sump pumps the water out to a safe area away from the house with its three-level pumps that have a backup battery operated pump. With the damaged wall we would demo the half that was effected and install Everlast Wall Restoration for a nice finish. 

The homeowners were thrilled to have the problem fixed and not have to worry about water damage again. Along with a nice finish with the EverLast Wall Restoration in the finished space. 

This customer called seeking help for their semi-finished basement. While working in the basement it was discovered that water had been leaking in for some time. The flooring had water damage and needed to be replaced. 

We sent Eric out to do an inspection of the basement and see what we could do to help. Our team first started with installing a Window Well Duct drainage system, where the water drains down from the Well Duct into your basement drainage system.  We pulled up the damaged flooring that was there and replaced it with ThermalDry Elite Dark Walnut flooring that is water resistant with inorganic materials that won't absorb water; Which means they won't swell or rot. They also can increase the temperature of the floor by ten degrees. We also installed our SaniDry XP that keeps the humidity down and filters the air of mold spores and allergens. 

Our homeowner can now enjoy their beautiful finished space without worrying about water damage or a leaking basement window for years to come. 

This customer called because they had water coming into their finished basement. They wanted an inspector to come out and find where the water is coming from and to fix it. 

Our inspector Eric went out and found the water had been leaking from the basement window. Water was coming from outside to the window and leaking down the wall to the basement floor. We installed our patented WaterGuard system along the perimeter of the basement floor. To fix the window leaking we installed a window well drain that goes under the window and drains the water to the unseen WaterGuard system. To which drains the water to the Super sump that pumps the water out and away from the house. 

This homeowner can now enjoy his finished basement knowing that water isn't leaking into his basement for years to come. 

During the Fall these homeowners started to notice puddles on their basement floor. Every time we would get heavy rains water would leak into the basement and create puddles. They gave us a call for an inspection. 

Our inspector Brandon went out and recommended installing our patented WaterGuard system that goes around the perimeter of the basement. Water then drains unseen into the WaterGuard and runs to the TripleSafe sump pump that has three pumps one being battery operated in case of a power outage. It comes with the patented WaterWatch that sounds off an alarm if the water rises above the operating range of the pumps to alert you before damage occurs. It then pumps out a new discharge line we installed. For a nice finished look, we installed our BrightWall paneling. 

Now, these homeowners will never have to worry when the next heavy rain hits to find puddles. They can enjoy a dry basement for years to come.  

The homeowner knew he needed an inspection of his crawlspace and gave us a call. When our inspector Bob went down he found puddles of water all over the crawlspace. 

Bob recommended we do a CleanSpace Encapsulation system to completely seal the crawlspace. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump that has three levels of pumps and a battery back pump that runs in case of a power outage. With our patented WaterWatch Alarm that will sound off if water rises above the capacity of the pump to warn you of an issue before damage occurs. Along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the humidity down and clean air so moisture and mold can't occur. 

This homeowner was so eager for Lupe and his crew to get started. He now has peace of mind that his home is getting clean air and his crawlspace is dry. 

This customer called because water was leaking into their basement when it would rain. They wanted a forever solution to the water problem and called us for an inspection. We sent out our inspector to take a look and see what we should do. 

Our inspector recommended installing our patented WaterGuard system that goes around the perimeter of the basement unseen and collects water and drains it to a sump pump. We would install our TripleSafe sump pump it has three pump system that protects you from pump failure to much water, and power outage. Along with our patented WaterWatch Alarm that goes off when the water rises above the pump level to prevent damage from occurring. For finished walls, we put ThermalDry Wall up first that reflects heat back into the basement and works with our WaterGuard system. BrightWall paneling went up for a nice basement finished look.

The customer was so happy that they didn't have to worry about water damage occurring to their basement. They can now enjoy a finished space for their home.  

This customer called us with a discovered water problem. Water was coming into the crawlspace and was causing moisture and mold spores to grow that it was affecting the walls and air of the house. So we sent out one of our inspectors to see what we could do to fix the problem. 

Our inspector went and found standing water in the crawlspace which had started to ruin the old black plastic vapor barrier and create a muddy mess. We would do a crawlspace clean out and remove the wet sagging fiberglass insulation. We installed our crawlspace encapsulation system with our Cleanspace vapor barrier that is 20 mil thick and tacks on the walls of the crawlspace while sealing the vents. We also installed a smart sump pump that will pump all water out along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will keep all moisture, dust mites, and mold spores clear from the air you breathe in your home. We then used our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the crawlspace efficiently keeping warm air in and a nicely sealed space. 

The homeowner was so relieved to have us encapsulate her crawlspace and they don't have to worry about water or mold again. They now can relax knowing their family will always be breathing clean air in their home. 

This customer called about water getting into her crawlspace and wanting to look into other options into fixing her crawlspace. We went out and replaced her crawl space access well to give better protection and more durability. Before it was a short access that could rust and had a dirt bottom. The door was not properly sealed shut and left the crawl space vulnerable to water, leaves, and pests. The EverLast system is made with long-lasting materials that will never rust, corrode, support mold growth, or rot. No ugly eyesore in your yard. It is finished with river rock to avoid puddling and mud against your foundation. The customer was pleased with how well it blended with her landscape and knowing it was going to last the life of the house. 

This customer called complaining of water leaking into his partially finished basement and you could notice a musty smell every time you entered the basement. Our crew installed our patented WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement that will properly drain the water into our TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe sump has two pumps that will run to drain the water while the third pump is battery operated and will come on in case of a power outage to help prevent water damage. Due to the leaking water coming from the wall, it had caused water damage to the sheetrock, insulation, and wood. We installed our B to B panels that are moisture resistant and well insulated to keep your basement warm. Along with waterproofing the basement, we installed new rain drains so that the water would drain out away from the house to help ensure that water wouldn't drain down into the foundation of the home. This customer was so relieved to have his storage space back without a worry of water or moisture damage. He also didn't notice the musty smell anymore coming from the basement. 

This homeowner had installed their own sump pump in the crawlspace of their home because they had found water. Over time she had started to notice a musty smell in their home and couldn't find the source of the smell. She finally decided to give us a call and have an inspection done on her crawlspace. Our inspector went out and found standing water in the crawlspace that wasn't draining to the DIY sump pump. While doing the inspection he found mold growth on the foundation wall and floor joists. With continuous exposure to water and moisture in the crawlspace, it takes a toll on the posts and some of the wood posts were starting to rot. Our crew went in and replaced the rotting posts with our SmartJack that is adjustable and made of steel.  We replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump; this pump has three different pumps that will adjust to how many run due to the water level. The third pump is battery operated and will run in a case of a power outage. After the installation, we seal the crawlspace with our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and has tear resistant. To further ensure that the crawlspace stays dry and moisture free we put in our SaniDry XP dehumidifier that filters out moisture, mold spores, and dust mites. This homeowner felt so relieved to know that they were breathing clean air in their home and the foundation is protected. 

This customer called with concerns for their basement wall and the water leaking into the basement. Their basement wall sits against their neighbor's hillside and water is coming from a natural spring leaking into the wall creating the perfect space for mold and water damage. Our crew went in and put in a discharge line and our patented WaterGuard system that goes around the basement and drains the water unseen. The  SuperSump pump that has high volume pumping and a built-in alarm that goes off when the water level rises about pump capabilities and is compatible with our WaterGuard system. Due to extreme water damage, we took out the whole wall and installed our ThermalDry wall that helps keep heat in the basement and is made of inorganic material that stops mold and mildew growth. This customer was so relieved to know that water from the natural spring will be properly drained and won't be causing damage to their basement. 

This customer called because he had seen our trucks frequently in his neighborhood waterproofing his neighbor's homes. To his knowledge, he had no water problems and his crawlspace was dry but wanted us to come to make sure. When the inspection was done they found standing water in the crawlspace in multiple spots. The moisture from the standing water had been absorbed into the fiberglass insulation and was starting to sag and mold was growing on the support beams. Our crew pulled all the insulation out and removed the damaged vapor barrier. Our crew installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick and tear resistant. We installed our TripleSafe sump pump that has three pumps; two pumps will run depending on the amount of water draining into the sump and the third one is a battery operated pump that turns on in case of a power outage. To help keep the humidity level down we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that is the perfect size for a crawlspace. It filters out moisture, mold spores, and dust mites from the crawlspace. This homeowner was so relieved that he had us come check his space and now has a dry space. He can feel better knowing that clean air is coming from his crawlspace and water is being drained properly. 

The homeowner called because their neighbors yard is sloping down into the direction of their home. Which started to lead the water straight into their crawlspace causing water damage. They were looking for some kind of drainage system to help filter all the water back out. So we cleaned out all the damaged products and installed the TripleSafe sump system, which is one of our most reliable pumps. It is meant to withstand flooding and any power failures. We also installed 6 mil vapor barrier to help keep the moisture buildup to a minimum. Customer was happy that the water was finally removed and that they had a trustworthy pump to keep their crawlspace clean and dry. 

Brendan had just moved into a 96 year old home 3 months prior. And he was soon to learn that there was water leaking into the basement under their kitchen. And the source was unknown. He found Johns Waterproofing Company online after doing some research. 

Daniel came to investigate and reassured them that it was nothing more then a downspout that needed to be fixed. And that there was only minor damage done to their basement. Fernando made sure to clean out the basement, and fix any damages that were caused by the water intrusion. His crew and him dug out a trench to install LawnScape well, which connects to the downspout and discharges the rain water from the gutters away from the yard. Stopping any sort of flooding or swamp-like buildups. 

Giving the customer a pathway that is usable once again, and curb appeal. Brendan hasn't had any problems since the installment and is happy with the outcome of a job well done. 

This customer had called us because he had been doing research on air quality and just how much air comes thru our homes from the crawlspace. Up to 50% of the air we breathe in our homes comes from the crawlspace, so having a dry healthy crawlspace is a must. Our inspector went out and looked at the crawlspace, it had sagging insulation from it collecting moisture over time. Due to the high humidity and moisture mold was also growing on the posts and floor joists.  He suggested we do a crawlspace encapsulation with a drainage system.

Our crew went out and removed all the debris, old vapor barrier, and sagging fiberglass insulation. After we have the crawlspace cleaned out we did a mold treatment with a product we use called Mold X. It not only removes the mold but removes the mold stains from the wood. After we clean the crawlspace out we seal the vents shut with our vent covers and installed a drainage system with a smart drain sump pump. We lined the crawlspace with our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mil thick and is rip resistant. Our crew installed our SaniDry Sedona that is a dehumidifier which filters out air impurities and humidity. You can't hear it run and it makes sure to keep the crawlspace dry. We finished the encapsulation with our spray foam insulation that goes along the foundation of the crawlspace.

The homeowner was so happy to have the mold treated and know his crawlspace will be dry for years to come. Over the year the homeowner will also notice warmer floors and a decrease in his heating and cooling bill. After encapsulation, your home's air won't leak out of cracks and open vents. 

Customer called due to her basement walls starting to leak. The problem wasn't extreme, so it was perfect timing for her to find our ad in the Oregon Home Magazine. 

Manuel H and his crew started out the job by digging out the trench that the discharge line and WaterGuard would be placed into. ALong with installing the WaterGuard, they had the SuperSump pump installed to cycle the water out of the basement. 

This made it so that when and if the water continues to leak, it would travel down the wall straight into the WaterGuard. Which is then sent down to the SuperSump pump, to be filtered and sent out the discharge line. 

The customer was relieved that it was done in a timely manner. Also knowing that her basement would be dry and clean. 

John called for water problems in the basement. Which seems to be worse during the fall due to excessive rain. The water seems to diminish during the winter, but freezes while under there. 

Manuel H and his crew went out and started the procedure. Digging the trenches along the concrete walls. They installed the WaterGuard with the flanges against the wall to allow the water to drain directly into it. The water will then travel to the SmartSump pump and go down the Discharge pipeline and out of the home. 

There was a plumbing problem in one wall, which caused the drywall to crumble. So the crew had to start tearing the damaged wall down. After they did that they installed ThermalDry inside of the wall for a thermal break to help any built up condensation. So that moisture buildup would no longer be an issue. Leaving the customer with the reassurance that there would not be any mold issues in the future. 

The customer called with concerns of her home being on a hillside. And knowing that she has four separate crawl spaces to look after. She was worried that the water is running down the hillside straight into one, or more of her crawlspaces. 

Our crew went out and first cleaned out the crawl spaces. They then started laying down the TerraBlock so that when moisture starts to buildup in the soil, it stays in the soil. Once all of the TerraBlock is laid down, they then installed the 20 mil CleanSpace. When pairing the two together, the water is completely unable to penetrate and cause any form of damage. 

In two of the crawl spaces, they had the Smart Drain installed to alert of any plumbing problems. They also had to isolate all of the piers so that the foundation would not start to shift or cave in. 

And to try and regulate the humidity in the crawl spaces they recommended two SaniDry Sedona dehumidifiers. Which will also assist with temperature regulations.

The customer was impressed that we were able to encapsulate all four spaces with ease. Leaving the space dry and free of any musty smells. 

Customer called for a crack they found in one of their foundation walls, which was letting water into their basement. We had a simple quick fix, which was Xypex. Its a sealant you paint on cracks and it will temporarily seal them. 

Jake explained to them that their best option would be to go with WaterGuard along the parameter of the basement, and a Paraseal which is a longer lasting sealant. 

About two weeks later we came out again and found that the customer had indeed wanted the lifelong solution. Tyler and his crew installed the WaterGaurd and left the customer with the reassurance that it would keep their basement dry and clean. 

The customer called to have their crawl space sealed, after having a radon mitigation kit installed. So to help complete the fixation of the air quality of the crawl space and basement, they called us looking to seal it all up. 

Francisco and his crew did a full encapsulation of the crawl space and did a complete basement finishing to tie both open areas together. 

For the crawl space, they installed a CleanSpace Drain Matt, that lies underneath all of the other products, to give any water that is building up a space to run in the soil without causing damage to the foundation. On top of that, they then laid down the TerraBlock to keep the water from intruding on the crawl space. To seal it, they used CleanSpace to complete the full encapsulation of the crawl space. 

The basement was a simple and quick fix after the crawl space was finished. They dug out a trench for WaterGuard to take any water and filter it down to the TripleSafe sump pump that was installed. Which will then discharge it out of their home, and off their property. 

Leaving the homeowner happy knowing that the air quality will only be better from here on out. And that any water troubles that may arise will be taken care of in a timely manner. 

The customer us when his sump pump started to flood his basement due to sediment buildup. The discharge line they had installed, cracked leaving them with a bigger mess than they ever imagined. 

We came and dried out the basement. Taking out the old sump pump and discharge line. So that we could install our system without any hiccups. Francisco and his crew dug a trench line along the parameter of the basement for the WaterGuard. 

To replace the old sump pump they installed the SuperSump pump. With a 1 1/2 inch discharge line. Ensuring that when they laid the concrete down no water would intrude the space again. Or cause any more damage, leaving the customer overjoyed with knowing they have storage space once again. 

The customer had groundwater leaking into the basement through cracks in the concrete walls. They were concerned as to what would happen to the living space they created in the basement. 

So our plan was to install a non-intrusive waterproofing system for this family. Which their best option was the WaterGuard system, that lies in a trench along the perimeter walls. With concrete over the top to create a tight seal. 

Which also leads to a SuperSump Plus pump to collect and discharge any collected water straight out of their basement without being seen. 

To finish the basement off, they also had BrightWall Paneling installed on the perimeter walls. WIth a quarter inch gap to give clearance for the water to collect behind the panels, into the WaterGuard without further damage. 

Leaving the family with a beautifully finished basement, and no more musty smells to carry up into the rest of the home. 

The customer called due to having major seepage issues from multiple points in their basement. A large amount of water came from the window, so they weren't sure if they needed a window replacement, or if it was caused by something else. Tyler and his crew went out and showed them that their rain catching basin was full and they cleaned it out for them. Along with a new downspout extension so that the water would be averted from the windows. Ensuring that the water stays dry and clean.

The customer called for a simple entrance replacement on their crawl space. The other one was the original from when the home was built. They had been using plywood to cover the doorway to keep animals out, but it wasn't keeping the water from building up. Which was concerning them, as they didn't want mold growth to occur. We had the EverLast Access Well and EverLast Door installed. It has foam walls that create a tight air seal, not allowing water access into the crawl space. Giving the customers relief that there wouldn't have any water intrusion or mold growth in the future. 

Dave and his wife were having problems with water seeping from the walls. We recommended getting the full Basement Waterproofing System so that there wouldn't be any more problems in the future.

They weren't sure if they wanted it at that moment, however, after very heavy rainfall in January they decided it was time to start the project. 

Ramon and his crew went and took down the bottom half of each wall to install the ThermalDrywall so the rooms were well insulated. But if the water were to buildup, it would filter down into the WaterGuard. To then be carried down to the SuperSump pump. Discharging the water out of the basement discretely behind the Everlast panels. Also placed meticulously over the new installed ThermalDrywall so that the rooms have a beautiful finished look. 

The couple had called after buying a new home that had some not so pleasant secrets. Downstairs was a daylight basement, with a small crawl space attached to one side of the room. But with closer inspection, they found that the vapor barrier that was laid in the crawl space was in shambles. And the moisture from underneath had started to create a very musty smell. Causing the family some concern on if the home would be healthy enough or them. 

They gave us a call, and our salesman reassured them that everything would be fine. As the water had not started to damage anything yet. There was also no sign of mold growth. However, there was one spot that the post was starting to sink into the soil. So he recommended they get a SmartJack to replace the old post. Which will hold up the beams without sinking, due to the crushed stones that we put under it. Giving a sturdy foundation to be on, also allows it to prevent any bowing in the floorboards of the home. 

Our foreman Delfino and his crew had the task of installing the SmartJack, along with the CleanSpace to eliminate excessive water buildup in the home. With the CleanSpace ensuring that the water cant comes up through the soil, they also installed a SmartDrain at the lowest point of the area. To give any water that does make its way in, an exit. The last product they brought to the home was a SaniDry XP, which regulates temperatures and any moisture in the air. 

Giving the family the sense of safety knowing that their home is not going to have low air quality and that the integrity of the house is restored. 

Cindy had some concerns with her crawl space. The last time she had been down there, there was standing water and insulation falling from the beams. Raising a red flag that her health was at risk, along with concerns of water damage. 

Our salesman went down and did find quite a bit of water. But it was not in dire need for an extreme makeover. But to fix the standing water ground they had the SuperSump Pump installed to expel the water from the crawl space. And laid a new 6 mil Vapor Barrier down to prevent water from coming up from the soil into the crawl space. 

They also made sure to clean up all the built-up debris from the falling insulation, leaving it clean and healthy for years to come. Leaving the customer satisfied with a job well done in a timely manner. 

The customer is actually a property management that had a renter send them a video of water coming into the basement when it rains. Which was ruining the renter's personal belongings, as they used the space as a living area and a bedroom. 

our crews installed WaterGaurd around the perimeter of the basement. Which would allow the water to filter down the walls into the TripleSafe sump pump. To then be discharged out of the space without causing any more damage to the renter's things, or the property owners home. 

All the while being discretely done behind  BrightWall paneling. Ensuring the basement stays dry and mold free. 

The customer's basement had been flooding with water within 2-3 hours and they didn't realize it was anything serious. Until they checked their sump pump and found that it was failing every other hour or so. Which led them to want a replacement water removal system.  

To replace the old pump, they got the Ultra Sump pump installed to remove the water. Along with a new discharge line to pump it out of the basement with ease. Giving the customers the satisfaction of a dry and clean basement. 

This family had been wanting to use their basement as a second living space, to have a bigger family room and extra storage space. Unfortunately, water had been leaking in from behind the stairs causing moisture problems and a very musty smell. The homeowner had tried every home remedy they could think of and nothing was working for the smell nor the water issue. One morning they heard our ad on the radio and decided to call for a free inspection. 

Our inspector went out and inspected the whole basement to come up with the perfect plan for the homeowners to utilize their basement. Our crews first started by installing our patented WaterGuard system that goes along the basement wall and will properly drain the water down to a sump pump. Our crew installed our SuperSump pump that allows high-volume pumping and has a built-in alarm that will ring in case the water level raises to high. The pump is also airtight and child safe which was important to this family. After the crew had the proper drainage system installed we also put in our SaniDry dehumidifier to help eliminate the moisture in the air and all other air impurities. Since the family wanted to use their basement as a second family room they decided to have us install our basement finishing products. We demoed the walls and installed our B to B panels that work alongside our WaterGuard system. They are moisture resistant and work as a vapor barrier to the basement walls. 

The homeowners were so pleased with their new space and how different their basement looked. They now had the second family room they had been wanting for a long time and could now use the basement for storage. 

This customer was having moisture problems in her crawlspace but wasn't sure of the extent it was. She saw an ad of ours in the paper and decided to give us a call. When our inspector went out he found that there was actually quite a bit of moisture in her crawlspace. Since the crawlspace had been exposed for long periods of time to the moisture her posts that hold her floor up where also dry rotting. It was important to get the posts fixed due to sagging floors and sooner or later the post would rot away. 

Our crew went out and cleaned out all the debris from the crawlspace including the old ripped up vapor barrier that had once been laid. We started with installing our SmartJacks, they are a steel post that is made to not ever rot away. It is also adjustable so as the ground settles they can be adjusted to stop floors from sagging. Due to the water getting in the crawlspace our crew installed a drainage pipe that drains to our Super Sump. It is a sump pump designed for the crawlspace that quietly pumps the water out and away from the home. This homeowner opted to just replace her black plastic vapor barrier over encapsulation. We installed the 6 mils black plastic in the crawlspace. 

The homeowner noticed immediately how less uneven her floors felt and that the creaking was minimal. She was glad that she called because she was unaware just how much moisture was down there and the effects of leaving it. She now knows that the sump pump is handling the water issues and that she won't have dry rot anymore. 

This homeowner knew that in the next two years he wanted to finish his basement to be able to use it for entertaining. So the first step was to waterproof the basement. Our inspector found that there were several points where water was getting into the basement. The basement also had a very strong musty smell from the dampness in the basement. 

Our crew went to work installing our patented WaterGuard drainage system. It designed to keep basements dry while being unseen. Our crew cuts about six inches away from the wall of cement out to lay the drainage and then repaves over it. The WaterGuard drains down to a sump pump. Since so much water was getting into this basement our inspector suggested installing our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is a three pump sump that runs the pumps automatically to the level of water draining. It comes with the third pump running on a battery operated the pump in case of a power outage to save the basement from water damage. The pump then pumps the water out the discharge line to take the water out and away from the house so it doesn't continue to come in. In addition, the homeowner had us install our ThermalDry wall that is insulation for basement concrete walls. It works with the WaterGuard system and drains all water down to the drain. It also reflects heat back keeping the basement nice and warm to be comfortable to be in. 

The homeowner was so happy to be able to start moving forward with his plans in the basement. Getting the first step done of waterproofing is so important to finishing a basement. The last thing he wanted was a flooded finished basement. He also has noticed a decrease in the heating bill since the basement was not leaking the heat out constantly. 

 After reading our article in the newspaper about standing water, Jane knew that she needed to call and have her crawlspace taken care of. One of our inspectors properly came to her home to provide her free inspection. Jane had standing water, falling insulation, and rotting posts. Our inspector Marcus was able to give her a unique solution which included encapsulating her crawlspace with our patented CleanSpace, installing drainage, and then finishing the space with spray foam insulation. The space is now warm and dry and has clean healthy air as well. 

This crawlspace in Gresham was full of water and had an exceptionally high relative humidity. Due to the nearly 80% relative humidity in the crawlspace, the insulation in the crawlspace was falling and molding. Many of the beams were beginning to show wood rot which if not cared for could threaten the structural integrity of the home. 

Our team removed the water in the crawlspace and installed a drainage system to ensure that they will not have water issues again moving forward. Our Triple Safe Sump Pump will ensure that water will no longer be an issue for the homeowner, and was required prior to the installation of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. 

The system was completed with a dehumidifier installation to ensure that the humidity level in the crawlspace stays at a healthy range to provide quality air to homeowners above. 

Our customer Gary in Portland was purchasing a house and the crawl space had been neglected. His real estate agent suggested he call our company to see what we might be able to do to help him out. Our company has relationships with many realtors in the surrounding areas so we were able to go out to this property pretty quickly due to timeliness involved.

The major components included in the crawl space were the debris, insulation and just the fact that the crawl space had not been maintained regularly. Our crew here at John's Waterproofing Company went out within a few days and cleaned out the crawl space and all of the debris that had accumulated. A full-encapsulation is what got done for this customer. The main items installed were the CleanSpace encapsulating material, a Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier which stops mold growth, musty odors, and dust mites, an UltraSump sump pump, a Zoeller M53 sump pump Spray Foam. 

All of these will allow the crawl space at Gary's house to remain dry and will bring clean air into his house for many many years while also being energy efficient.  

Lydia had some rodent activity in her crawl space and she was worried that they had moved in and made themselves a home there. She had seen our John's Waterproofing Company trucks out about town and decided to give us a call to see what could be done. Shortly after our Design Specialist Carolann was out and underneath the house to take a look. Carolann found some rodent droppings and found some water issues also going on in the crawl space. She explained to Lydia what the benefits of crawl space encapsulation were and Lydia agreed this was a good idea. 

Shortly after, Francisco and his team of professionals went out to Lydia's house, cleaned out all of the damaged vapor barrier and fallen insulation that was there. They then proceeded to do a full encapsulation of the crawl space including replacing the old insulation with Spray Foam so nothing is actually touching the bottom of Lydia's home. The crew also installed a new SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, a SmartDrain, SmartSump pump, an UltraSump pump, and the antimicrobial CleanSpace. 

Lydia is thrilled knowing that she no longer has to worry about rodents, moisture or any mold issues going on underneath her house. And, as always, we were happy to help.

 This customer our office requesting a quote on getting his large crawlspace cleaned and encapsulated so that he could use it as a storage area. Our inspector Daniel Mitchell gave him a bid to remove the debris and old fiberglass, replace damaged posts, ensure that he never struggled with water or humidity and that he could store home items in the space. 

Delfino Gonzalez and his team came out and after securing the space to make sure the surrounding areas stayed clean they set to work. After removing the old insulation and replacing the damaged posts, the crew set forth to finish the space. We installed our patented drainage system prior to covering the ground wit hTerra Block and then CleanSpace. Delfino and the team finished the space with 2 sump pumps and a SaniDry Sedona to keep humidity low. Fernando Hernandez then finished the space with our amazing spray foam insulation to keep the space warmer and provide greater energy savings for the homeowner. 

The customer was elated with the transformation and is now a raving fan. 

David and Jenny stopped by our booth at a Home and Garden Show with questions about the standing water they had in their crawl space. We gladly gave them an appointment with Design Specialist Vinny who went out to take a look and did find standing water and suggested a crawl encapsulation. Lupe and Fernando went out and after some plumbing repairs were able to install a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to help keep the crawl space dry. Then an encapsulation with CleanSpace was done. Now David and Jenny have a clean dry basement with properly functioning equipment that will work for many years. 

Our customer Josh called us stating that there was standing water in the basement of a home he was wanting to purchase. We had helped Josh out before so were happy to go out and take a look to see what could be done. Our Design Specialist Jacob went out to find water in the basement and some foundation damage. Jacob suggested WaterGuard with a new trench drain and Josh agreed. Within a few days, Tim took his crew out and installed a new discharge line, put in WaterGuard and Thermal Dry Wall. Josh now has a dry properly functioning drainage system keeping his basement dry that is virtually maintenance-free, and that he can call on us any time he has any concerns. 

Barbara had some plumbing updated in her home and the crawl space was brought to her attention. She needed a new vapor barrier and had some odor issues as a result. So when Barbara heard one of our adds on the radio it reminded her to call into our office to set up an appointment. Cleone took the call and got an appointment scheduled to have our Design Specialist, Vinny come out to asses the situation. He quickly saw that the vapor barrier was torn in spots and saw some evidence of water damage. He went over the process of crawl space encapsulation with Barbara and they both decided this would be the most efficient option for her. 

Foreman, Jeremy, and his crew were out to Barbara's house shortly after to get things taken care of for her. The crawl space was cleaned out, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was put in to stop moisture. A SaniDry SmartSump was also put in which has an automatic float switch. The lid sump pump basin are designed to accompany the CleanSpace vapor barrier system for an airtight seal. Then Fernando and his team were out to complete the process with Spray Foam insulation. The customer now has a clean, dry crawl space and is consuming less energy as a result. 

Barbara is thrilled with the outcome and is now enjoying warmer floors in her kitchen.  

Robert hadn't been in the crawl space of his house for years and had become concerned about the safety of the space. He saw an ad for John's Waterproofing in the Oregonian, a local newspaper here in Oregon and gave us a call. Our Senior Inspector, Jake went out to take a look and noticed the crawl space had a lot of debris in it and that the humidity levels were high. 

Within just a few days the crews were at Robert's house and cleaning out the debris and old equipment that was in the crawl space including the insulation. They installed a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier to stop the moisture and humidity,  a new TripleSafe sump pump. The entire crawl space was encapsulated and finished off with Spray Foam insulation. 

Robert is thrilled that he now has a healthy crawl space that functions the way it should and will for many many years.

Jenny, out in Portland, OR had some standing water in her crawl space and knew this was not good for her home or her health. So when she saw a commercial for John's Waterproofing on TV she gave us a call to see what could be done. After Vinny, one of our Design Specialists, went out to look around he did see standing water in some spots and suggested a full encapsulation of the crawl space with CleanSpace. Jenny agreed and got this scheduled to be done. 

Nathan and his awesome crew were out and in no time they were able to take care of the waterproofing of Jenny's crawl space leaving Jenny with no worries as to the health of underneath her house. 

 While we usually spend our time installing full-encapsulation systems and basement finishes, we also do a fair amount of vapor barrier replacements when someone just wants to make sure their home is up to code, or they need to get a property ready for inspection. This was one of those jobs. Elizabeth was preparing to sell her home and needed to ensure her crawlspace was up to code. 

Our crew came in and removed the debris from under her crawlspace, installed our simple smart sump and replaced her vapor barrier, and left a dry, and clean space that would no doubt pass inspection. 

This crawlspace in Gresham was full of water and moisture and mold was beginning to form on the posts of the foundation Aurthur called our team to solve the problem. 

Vincent gave him a free inspection in which he included a dry out so that our crews could install the system, a perimeter drainage system, a sump pump, and then finishing the space with our anti-microbial, 20-millimeter thick CleanSpace Encapsulation material. 

The crawlspace was left clear, clean, and healthy for decades to come. 

Elizabeth of Portland, Oregon called into John's Waterproofing because she water coming into her basement through the cement/brick wall foundation. Her basement had been flooding creating a mold issue. Daniel went out to do an evaluation and decided it was best to have Ramon come out and install a WaterGuard system with a SuperSump and an UltraSump.

The WaterGuard system redirects the water to the sump pumps and then is lead away from the structure as far as possible. Then the basement was finished off with BrightWall Paneling for continued waterproofing.

Elizbeth is thrilled that she now has a basement that she can use and that will remain mold-free.

Judy saw an add for John's Waterproofing in the local newspaper and called to schedule an appointment for a free inspection. She knew there some leaking going on somewhere but was sure of the source, but knew it had to be taken care of any structural damage occurred. Our senior inspector, Jake went out, found out the leaking was happening through one of the walls. He went over the importance of waterproofing to protect yourself and your structure and Judy was on board. 

Pedro and his team of waterproofers were on the job and in no time had a WaterGuard XL drainage installed along with a TripleSafe pump system and put up BrightWall paneling for a completely waterproofed area. Judy calls in once a year and has Chase come and make sure everything is running properly and is thrilled with her basement. 

When the homeowner found out his allergies were related to mold he started looking for things that he could fix or improve on in his home. He found out about encapsulating crawl spaces while at a Home & Garden Show, learned that evaluations are always free with John's Waterproofing. At this time the homeowners learned about all of the benefits of encapsulation with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and that our company is also accredited with the American Lung Association. Half of the air that enters the first floor of your home comes from underneath your house, so taking care of any moisture issues in your crawl space is important. 

Our crew arrived and cleaned, and dried out the crawl space. Eliminating the moisture and mold that was down there and encapsulated the space. Now the home owner can breathe easier and healthier knowing that the air coming into his home is cleaner.

This homeowner had enough moisture in his crawl space that it was causing mud in one of the corners. He was concerned about mold and structure damage so he called John's Waterproofing and scheduled an appointment for a free inspection. After discussing options they agreed that encapsulating the crawl space was the best idea. Shortly after, a team was out to the house to install a dehumidifier and get the crawl space dried out and encapsulated. 

Encapsulating your crawl space seals all of the vents underneath your home eliminating all moisture, allergens, and dust mites keeping your crawl space clean and dry for years and years. 

We then went and put in Spray Foam insulation to complete the project which also helps this customer consume less energy. The homeowner is very happy knowing that he no longer has to be concerned about the health of his crawl space or deal with any issues that moisture can cause.

When it rained heavily, Allen noticed that there would be water in his basement and he was concerned about this getting worse. He called into John's Waterproofing where an appointment was made to have Vinny come out for an inspection. Vinny suggested putting in a WaterGuard drainage system to keep water out of the basement and flowing away from the house. Allen thought this sounded like a great idea and a good, reliable solution, so that's when Lupe and his crew were scheduled to go out and start the project. 

The waterproofing entailed installing the WaterGuard XL system along with a SaniDry dehumidifier, a Super Sump, and ThermalDry wall paneling. In just a few days this was completed and now Allen has a waterproofed basement that he doesn't have to worry about.

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. 

This basement has been used as a workshop since the homeowners had moved it. It has one door to the exterior and plenty of room to work in. As the years progressed they began noticing some cracks in their homes foundation, mainly where the concrete floor connected to the walls. While it started having a minor water leak, the water intrusion was getting worse. When the rainy season hit, they needed to move equipment around to keep their shop tools from getting water damage. This was becoming more of a hassle, and it was time to find a solution, so they called John's Waterproofing. 

To solve this water issue, we began by digging a trench around the interior of the basement walls, and we inserted a TrenchDrain by the doorway, and a perforated pipe around the rest of the area. These worked together to bring the water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump which pushed all the water out and away from the home via a discharge line to a LawnScape outlet a safe distance away from the home. We then covered the new pipes with new concrete and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the basements vapor levels at an appropriate level as well. This home no longer has water issues, allowing the homeowners access to their full basement workshop year round. 

The homeowners had a downspout installed, but to get the water diverted a safe distance away from the homes foundation involved a long pipe to extend away from the home. While they had been okay with this at install, they had issues with it getting damaged since it stuck out so far. They were ready for this downspout to get put in the ground. 

Our crew came out and dug a trench from the downspout near the foundation and installed a pipe to extend out and away from the home. This pipe was then covered again with dirt and grass so it would no longer be an issue. The pipe ended with a new LawnScape outlet which kept the water a safe distance away. 

The homeowners wanted to get their basement finished, while they wanted to do the finishing work themselves, they knew that it should be waterproofed by a professional so their handiwork would be protected. To get this handled properly they called on John's Waterproofing. 

To prep the space we began by installing our WaterGuard Drainage system. This is installed in a trench around the interior perimeter and collects the water under the foundation of the home. To keep the moisture content from the foundation walls from damaging the space we installed our ThermalDry Wall system, a foil-faced dimpled material that protects against water and also helps maintain the temperature of the basement to save on energy costs. This wall system works well under finished systems and also gives a clean unfinished look. To pump the water from the drainage system we installed a TripleSafe sump pump that diverts all water a safe distance from the home. The basement is now ready for the homeowners to finish. 

We do offer our Total Basement Finishing system for those who can't take on a finishing project themselves. 

This daylight basement is built into the hillside, with only one corner being below the ground level. While the space had been fully finished, the homeowners had not considered water to be a major issue since only a small portion of the area would have dirt on the exterior. However, this side of the basement began to harbor mold and the drywall was squishy around the baseboards. To find a solution, John's Waterproofing was called in to help.

Our crews came out and began by removing the drywall where mold and water were evident. We then pulled up the carpeting along the side that needed attention. The homeowners wanted to save the carpeting, so we dried it out to be used again. A trench was dug along the affected walls and a WaterGaurd drainage system was installed to direct groundwater to a new SuperSump Plus sump pump. From here water was diverted out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed a ThermalDry wall system to waterproof and insulate the affected walls. The homeowners opted to do drywall over this section, and so they had to use a general contractor for this and they also re-installed the carpeting for homeowners. 

This space is now dry and healthy! 

This homes basement was wet to the touch along the base of the foundation walls, with pooling water evident near the basements exterior entryway. The homeowners were ready for a solution so they didn't need to worry about water damaging the items they kept in this space. 

Our crew began by digging a trench along the interior parameter of the space. In front of the exterior doorway we installed a TrenchDrain to collect water, and than installed our WaterGaurd drainage system around the remainder of the basement. These would collect groundwater and push it along to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here water is diverted out and away from the home to a new LawnScape outlet. 

As a homeowner gets ready to sell their home, they need to ensure that the home is up to code, and over the years a home can begin to settle. This home settled over the years, leaving their crawlspace with an inadequate amount of room for someone. To bring it back up to code before going on the market, the homeowners called in Johns Waterproofing. 

Our crew did a dig out, removing in total, twenty cubic yards of dirt to have this crawlspace compliant with its local codes. We then installed a 6 Mil vapor barrier to protect against water issues. This home will now be ready to go onto the market. 

The homeowner was ready to remodel their basement for more living space but didn't want to risk water damage after the expense of the remodel and their contractor encouraged them to call John's Waterproofing for advice. A specialist explained to the homeowner that it was not uncommon for a basement to be dry for years and suddenly flood due to torrential rain or new construction in the area or even insects or animals burrowing and creating waterways. He explained how John's Waterproofing could give them a lifetime warranty on the patented WaterGuard System in that, so long as the pump was operating, the WaterGuard would gather the water and direct it to the pumps.  

The crew got to work right away, breaking out 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install the WaterGuard. It was placed on top of the footing in a bed of gravel and inspection ports were strategically placed and terminated at the SuperSump location. WellDucts were installed at the below grade windows and the ThermalDry wall system was fastened to walls and both were inserted into the flange at the back of the WaterGuard to ensure any wall seepage or window well overflow was directed into the new drainage system. ThermalDry also aids in the insulation of the basement. Over the ThermalDry wall, BrightWall was installed to give the basement light, a bright and clean look. Homeowners also invested in a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air clean and dry.

Now this homeowner could invest in his basement remodel with confidence that it will stay dry and healthy.

After seeing our booth at a Home and Garden show, this homeowner wondered how their crawlspace was holding up. They imagined it was in good condition, so they decided to look under their home themselves. This was when they discovered pooling water in the lowest portion of their crawlspace. Upon this revelation, they called up John's Waterproofing to protect their home from water damage. 

To begin our crew cleaned out the area, and then they began to waterproof. We started by installing a three-inch perforated pipe. This is installed in a silt cover and goes around the interior parameter of the space, grading down to a newly installed SmartSump with an UltraSump backup. From here the water is pumped out and away from the home's foundation. We then laid down a 6 mil vapor barrier to help this space be dry and healthy. 

This homeowner was interested in waterproofing their basement so they could finish it. After doing her due diligence in research, John's Waterproofing was notified and a System Designer was scheduled to come out and take a look. 

The System Designer walked the basement with the homeowner and pointed out what was causing the water intrusion and how John's Waterproofing would fix the problem with WaterGuard, an award-winning interior gutter system, and our TripleSafe Sump system for the best protection of her remodel investment. The crew began by breaking out 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install the WaterGuard. It was placed on top of the footing in a bed of gravel and inspection ports were strategically placed and terminated at the SuperSump location. Well Ducts were installed at the below-grade windows and a ThermalDry wall system was fastened to walls and both were inserted into the flange at the back of the WaterGuard to ensure any wall seepage or window well overflow was directed into the system. ThermalDry also aids in the insulation of the basement.  Homeowners also invested in a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to keep the air clean and dry.

Now this homeowner can invest in their basement remodel with confidence that it stays dry and clean.

This basement had been finished, but never waterproofed. While there had been no water issues when it was finished, after years of the home settling and new construction happening around the home, water ended up finding a way into the home. There were now moldy spots on the drywall, and when the carpet was lifted up, more mold was found growing. The homeowners called us to come and waterproof the space so they could safely keep using their basement area. 

Our crew came out and removed the moldy portions of walls and carpeting. We then dug a trench along the interior walls and installed a WaterGaurd drainage system which graded the water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. From here the water was safely diverted out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed ThermalDry wall panels to ensure moldy walls wouldn't be an issue as well as ThermalDry gray carpeting. 

Mold in the crawlspace can make its way into the insulation and wood under your home. This home was suffering from musty odors which led the homeowners to consult John's Waterproofing for a solution.

A crews was dispatched to the home. In the crawlspace, the old barrier and moldy insulation were removed followed by an application of MoldX2 to kill the mold. 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. Then a new 6mil plastic barrier was installed on the floor of the crawlspace and attached to the foundation walls to ensure that any water seeping in via the footing or wall was captured and removed by the perforated pipe system. Now, these homeowners could enjoy a clean, healthy home along with some savings on utilities!

Legal clearance for a crawlspace is 18" so there are times that call for a "dig out" of a crawlspace to bring it up to code and, quite frankly, make it possible to inspect, perform plumbing repairs and more. Such was the case with this home. We had to excavate approximately 6" of dirt out of the crawlspace before doing the necessary work to mitigate the water problems and put down a proper barrier.  Excavation is priced by the cubic yard so our System Designer took concise measurements of the crawlspace's footprint to come up with an accurate proposal.

The crew arrived a few weeks later to begin the arduous work of excavating the dirt out of the crawlspace. It had to be dug out by hand and hauled out a bucket at a time. A tough job, but after it was all done and a new vapor barrier was laid throughout, this homeowner was happy to have a crawlspace that was navigable and up to code. 

This customer had a nice-sized finished basement and a small crawlspace with water present in both. She was disheartened that her carpeting was getting wet and her baseboards were wet and she feared mold might develop.  She called us for an assessment of the situation, to find out what she needed to do to remedy it and, of course, how much would it all cost. A System Designer was sent out and he checked the exterior perimeter to look for problems and then made his way to the basement and measured everything and took many photos. He pulled out his computer and with pointed questions to the homeowner, built a proposal to suit the homeowners needs and wants.

The crew got to work quickly breaking out 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install the WaterGuard drainage system. It was placed on top of the footing in a bed of gravel and inspection ports were strategically placed and terminated at the SuperSump location.  They also ran leach lines from the center of the floor to the SuperSump. WellDucts were installed at the blow-grade windows and the owner chose BrightWall panels to replace her walls. BrightWall wall systems were fastened to the walls and inserted into the flange at the back of the WaterGuard to insure any wall seepage or window well overflow was directed into the new system. BrightWall is a textured wall system that lightens and brightens the basement and is easy to clean.  Homeowners also invested in a SaniDry XP to keep the air clean and dry. In the crawlspace, they cleaned up debris, and old barrier, and failing fiberglass insulation. They put in a perforated pipe system around the perimeter and drilled a hole through the wall that divided the crawlspace from the basement and strategically placed a WellDuct in front of it so the water could find its way to the WaterGuard, onto the SuperSump, and then safely out and away from the foundation. A job well done!

Here at John's Waterproofing we always recommend a full perimeter system to solve basement waterproofing issues, but we tailor-make our proposals to fit the needs and desires of our customers and their pocketbooks. The nice thing about WaterGuard basement drainage is that it can be added to in the future if necessary. This customer only wanted a partial system so that's what we designed for them. 

The crew installed a partial system of WaterGuard, our award-winning basement drainage system by first removing about 6" of concrete. They laid the WaterGuard in on top of a footing of gravel, then back-filled it in with more gravel before going over and leveling the floor with concrete. The WaterGuard terminated at a SuperSump Plus that has a battery backup pump and it was all put in a TripleSafe container should the homeowner want to upgrade his system at a later date. BrightWall was then added to the walls where the WaterGuard was installed for a brighter cleaner look. The homeowner chose to invest in a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to keep the air in the basement and home dry and clean.

One of the great things about our WaterGuard waterproofing system for basements is that it can easily be added to at a future date if needed. On the advice of his contractor, this customer called to request that we complete a full perimeter waterproofing job that we had initiated a few years prior. We had done a partial system for the issues at hand at the time, but before he invested in a full basement remodel, it was determined that completing the full system was the best way to protect his considerable investment should other water issues arise. 

Our system installers arrived at the home to do the work. The WaterGuard was extended to cover the full perimeter of the basement.  A TripleSafe Sump system had already been installed, so we hooked up the new WaterGuard to this. ThermalDry Wall was also added to all the walls to block moisture from the basement and finished walls. It also serves as insulation for the basement. Now it's a greenlight for the remodel to commence!

One of the great things about WaterGuard is, that while we always recommend a full perimeter installation, it's always the choice of the customer, and they can do a partial. If they are looking to fix one area of a basement, we can accommodate that and if needed we can come back at a later date and easily extend the system to the full parameter. That is what this customer chose to do and we were happy to accommodate.  Our system designer went to the home and determined the area of concern, took measurements and determined the best place to install the sump system.

The installation crew arrived at a later date and they installed the WaterGuard drainage system in a 'U' shape within the basement, addressing the areas where water was found. This graded to the newly installed SuperSump pump with a battery backup to discharge the water out and away from the foundation. Then, ThermalDry Wall paneling was applied to the walls to block moisture and aid in properly insulating the basement. 

This customer called to have us come inspect their basement where they 'had a couple of minor leaks in their unfinished basement that all seem to be the result of hydrostatic pressure: seeping in where the slab meets the foundation, weeping through the walls, and slowing dripping out of existing cracks. We only see water pooling on the floor after very heavy rains or several successive days of average rainfall. It's not a ton of water but we aspire to finish our basement within the next couple of years and so we feel like any water is too much water if we're gonna install drywall and flooring.'

Seeing as a basement remodel is a significant investment we were happy to help them protect their future investment. Our system designer put together a proposal and explained the options for improvements and they were happy to know that we had options besides drywall that could have their basement up and useable quickly.

Our system installers arrived and got to work installing a WaterGuard drain system. To install this we break out 6" of concrete around the perimeter. This is placed on top of the footing in a bed of gravel and includes inspection ports, strategically placed and terminating at a SuperSump pump. ThermalDry wall paneling was installed to block moisture from the walls and aid in insulating. We then installed BrightWall, a wall system that is fastened to walls and inserted into the flange at the back of the WaterGuard to ensure any wall seepage and moisture were directed into the system. BrightWall is a semi-finished, textured wall system that lightens and brightens the basement. Homeowners also invested in a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to keep the air clean and dry.

Customers are often shocked by what they find when they decide to check out their crawlspace after several years of ignoring it. This Customer found a big mess. Fiberglass insulation was failing and water, mold, and a rodent infestation were all present. They called John's Waterproofing in need of help. A system designer was sent out to survey the situation and it wasn't pretty.  He took multiple photos and detailed measurements so he could build an accurate proposal. He also explained the many benefits of encapsulating the crawlspace to protect the home. 

A few weeks later one of our experienced installation crews came out. The first order of business was to remove all of the debris, old insulation and muddy vapor barrier.  A perforated pipe drain system was installed around the perimeter and graded to a TripleSafe Sump system at the lowest point. TerraBlock was laid on the dirt floor and vents were sealed up with the wooden posts isolated. A CleanSpace barrier was then installed and all of the seams were sealed and it was run up the foundation walls. This vapor barrier is also fastened under the rim joist to help hold it in place. 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, closed-cell spray foam was applied to the foundation walls to ensure that the home's insulation factor met industry standards.

This homeowner was fed up with water coming into her basement so she called on John's Waterproofing to solve the problem. A System Designer was sent out and discovered that there were problems with damaged and clogged downspouts. The house was also located near a waterway leading to high water tables with the yard sloping towards the home. The homeowner opted for a full perimeter WaterGuard system, repairing of the downspouts combined with a SuperSump Plus, ThermalDry Wall and BrightWall. 

WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without worry of clogging pipes from the soils under the flooring. Our crew installed it around the perimeter terminating it at the newly installed sump pump. The SuperSump Plus is a two-pump system with a primary pump and a battery backup to ensure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. ThermalDry Wall paneling is specially designed to help with insulating the space and it also helps with humidity from wall moisture and driving that moisture into the below WaterGuard system. BrightWall is a wall system that gives the basement a semi-finished look. It's also durable and washable! Now this homeowner can enjoy a comfortable space without the worry of water intrusion.

There were water issues in the basement of this apartment building and it needed to be fixed to keep the building dry. A system designer went to the property and assessed the situation. A full perimeter WaterGuard system was recommended, but on the knowledge that it could be added to at a later date, the property owner chose to install the WaterGuard only where the water was an issue.

The installation crew came out to install the WaterGuard. This is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without worry from clogging pipes from soils under the floor. Our crew installed it in the area as diagrammed by the system designer terminating it at the sump pump we installed. The SuperSump Plus is a two-pump system with a primary pump and a battery backup to assure continued pumping in the event of a power outage. Now the area was ready for a contractor to come out and repair the wall to its original condition.

Living in the Pacific Northwest we often run into crawlspaces where a simple vapor barrier just can't keep up with the water we receive. This home was recently purchased and had a new vapor barrier laid down in the crawlspace. After the first heavy rain in the home, the homeowners checked under their home and found a sludgy mud on top of the barrier in multiple places. They were worried about what this would mean for their home's health, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing for help. 

To begin, our crew cleaned out the crawlspace, removing the 6 mil vapor barrier. We then installed a drain system. This consists of a perforated pipe in a silt sock in the dirt ground. This system grades the water to an UltraSump pump which then diverts water safely away from the home. We then encased the space with our 20 Mil vapor barrier; CleanSpace. This is a woven barrier that is inserted under each wooden post, anchored along the walls, and sealed in place. We then air sealed the foundation walls and replaced the vent covers. The homeowners were thrilled with the difference and so happy that their home is protected against water issues!

This older home had a few doors that were beginning to stick in their home. The homeowners thought this was normal for an old home so they hadn't thought much about it, until they saw us at a home show. This is where they learned that sticking doors, could be a sign of rotting wooden posts in their crawlspace. To ensure their home was safe, they decided to sign up for a free inspection and estimate. Our design specialist inspected the exterior and interior and found some standing water in the lowest point of the space, and this was causing four of the wooden posts to have rot. 

To get this home healthy our crew firstly removed the general debris from under the home. We then went in and safely removed the damaged posts and installed SmartJacks to support the home as needed. We then installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest point to collect the water and send it safely out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid down a 6 Mil vapor barrier to help keep water from causing damage to the home. 

Water in the crawlspace can lead to mold, mud, and unhealthy air filtering up and into the home. This home had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier installed years ago, but due to the amount of water this home experienced, this had led to pooling water rising above the barrier, creating caked on mud, and early signs of mold spores. The homeowners called up John's Waterproofing for a solution that could help them. 

To address their needs we began by removing the old vapor barrier and general debris from the space. We then installed a SuperSump Pump to collect the groundwater which grades towards it, and then sends the water safely out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We the laid down CleanSpace. This 20 Mil woven barrier is inserted under each post, anchored along the walls and sealed into place. Next we sealed up the vents with new covers, and inserted a SaniDry dehumidifier to help the air be healthy. Our spray foam specialist then came out and insulated the foundation walls with a layer of spray foam. This home will be dry and healthy from here on out!

These homeowners had a combination finished basement and crawlspace and both had water intrusion issues. They requested help with a solution that would keep their home dry and protect their finished spaces. A System Designer met with them and surveyed the situation. After thoroughly inspecting the interior and exterior, he sat down with the homeowners and explained everything and offered a great solution; WaterGuard for the basement and a full Encapsulation for the crawlspace. 

Two crews worked simultaneously on this project; one on the crawlspace and one in the basement. In the crawlspace, they removed the old 6 mil vapor barrier, fiberglass insulation, and debris. They then installed a 3" perforated pipe drainage system around the perimeter to collect the water and direct it to a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump which pushes the water safely out and away from the home. TerraBlock, a high-density foam product was laid over the dirt floor to aid in insulating the crawlspace. We then laid down CleanSpace, a 20mil, nylon-reinforced barrier. This is used to isolate each wooden post and is anchored to the foundation walls. With all the vents sealed, a closed cell spray foam insulation was applied to the full wall of the foundation to keep the home insulated. 

Meanwhile, the other crew, after pulling back the carpet and removing approximately 18" of flooring and 18" of the lower wall of the basement, removed approximately 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install WaterGuard. WaterGuard is an award-winning piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively and without the worry of clogging pipes from soils under the floor. Our crew installed it around the perimeter and connected it to the drainage in the crawlspace. A SaniDry dehumidifier was vented to both spaces to keep the humidity levels controlled and filter the air. Later, our finishing crew arrived to repair the walls. 

Now everything was put back together and because they had a tall encapsulated crawlspace, it could be used for storage!

This homeowner called because he suspected "water in spots" and was interested in encapsulation. When our design specialist arrived, it was clear there was more then a little water pooling in this space. One of the telltale signs that a crawlspace has seasonal water intrusion is when layers of silt build up on an old vapor barrier. It can also show how high the water levels get. In the case of this crawlspace, about 2 feet or so during heavy or prolonged rain. Our system designer came out and took photos of the crawlspace so he could show the homeowner how much water was coming in at times and assured him that the water could be controlled with our great warrantied systems. The homeowner was very excited to get going. 

A crew came out later and got to work removing the old barrier and dirty fiberglass insulation that was falling down. They installed a 3" perforated pipe in a silt sock around the full perimeter of the crawlspace and graded it to a SuperSump Pump System which is made up of a primary pump with a battery backup to assure it would continue to operate in the event of a power outage. The water is then properly discharged from here out and away from the home. Following this, they laid TerraBlock, a 3/4" flexible foam insulation sandwiched in a plastic barrier that adds R-value, and is puncture resistant and protects the CleanSpace barrier. This offers padding when walking on the CleanSpace barrier which is installed next. CleanSpace is used to isolate the posts and all the seams are sealed. It is fastened to the foundation walls just under the rim joist. The vents around the crawlspace were sealed using closed cell spray foam on the foundation walls and rim joist, effectively encapsulating the space and insulating the home to industry standards. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at bay and filter the air.  

These homeowners called because they were tired of their basement getting wet during heavy rains. The home was from the 1940's and the homeowners had just figured this was an issue with old homes, but after seeing our ad in a magazine they wondered if there was hope to stop the water intrusion issues. We had a design specialist come out to perform a thorough inspection and craft a solution to address the issues. The homeowners were thrilled that the problem could be handled!

Our installers arrived a few weeks later and began by digging a trench around the interior parameter. Here we laid down gravel with our WaterGuard drainage system. The walls were then covered with our BrightWall panels, these waterproof panels are easy to clean and brighten the space to create a semi-finished look. This directs all moisture from the walls down to the new drain system which then grades all water to a new TripleSafe sump pump. The water is then safely sent out and away from the home. The home is now dry and healthy, the homeowners are so happy to no longer have to stress over a wet basement. 

We love returning customers. This was a call from a contractor who was renovating a home and there were serious issues with the basement leaking and ponding water near the home. Ponding water creates hydrostatic pressure at the footing area of the exterior of the foundation wall and this pressure will push water until it can find a porous spot to enter the basement.  As this contractor had used us before for other projects they were happy with our diagnosis and happily shared the warranties to the homeowners, ready to begin work! 

An installation crew was dispatched and they began by installing a WaterGuard drain system around the perimeter of the basement which was directed to a TripleSafe sump system to gather and remove the water. ThermalDry Wall was fastened to the basement walls and driven into the WaterGuard to make sure that any moisture from the foundation walls would be captured and directed the sump system. ThermalDry will also aids in insulating the space and save on energy bills. On the exterior, french drains were installed to drain the ponding water out and away from the property. 

This family was ready to remodel their basement and knew it would be futile unless they solved their water intrusion problem first. They called on John's Waterproofing for a solid solution. A System Designer was dispatched to the home where he walked the basement with the homeowner, took photos and measurements. Then he walked the perimeter of the exterior looking for signs of problems that were adding to the problem and needed addressing.  He explained to the homeowner what hydrostatic pressure was and how it was causing the water to intrude at the footing and reassured him that we had a great system to take care of the problem which includes a lifetime warranty on our products.

When the crew arrived to do the work, they started by breaking out 6" of concrete around the perimeter to install the WaterGuard below. This drain system is an award-winning product specially designed for basements. We then installed a ThermalDry Wall system which is attached to the walls and tucked behind the WaterGuard to create successful directing of the water/moisture to the drain system. This graded all collected water to a TripleSafe sump system complete with proper discharge. This sump system includes a main pump, backup pump and battery-operated pump to protect the system in the event of a power outage. Now this basement was ready for remodeling and the homeowner knew it would stay dry!

This long time customer was very happy with the SmartSump and drainage system we had installed for them a few years ago. They had opted to use a 6 mil vapor barrier under their home to help keep moisture from damaging their home. With any 6 Mil job, they knew that it would need to be replaced every few years based upon how it holds up to their homes environment. We did annual service visits to keep their system running smoothly, and now after five years they were ready for their vapor barrier to be replaced. Our installation crew came out, removed the old barrier, and brought in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. We laid it down, overlapping the edges and ran it up the foundation walls. We will be sure to continue the homes annual servicing, and advise the homeowners when the barrier needs to be replaced again. Should they ever choose to upgrade their system to an encapsulation, we will easily be able to add this on top of their drain and pump system.  

After having installed a 6 mil vapor barrier themselves, they were hoping the water issues in their crawlspace would be solved. However after a year, they checked and found pools of water on top of the old vapor barrier. The homeowners knew they would need a drainage system to address the excess water and called up John's Waterproofing. We had a Design Specialist go out to perform a full inspection, and found the home sat upon a high water table and to solve, they would need to encapsulate. 

To begin our crew removed the old vapor barrier, and pulled out the water logged fiberglass insulation that was present as well. We then installed a full interior perimeter drainage system in a silt sock. This will diverge water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump to push water well away from the foundation. We then insulated the dirt floor with TerraBlock. Next we installed CleanSpace, a 20 Mil woven vapor barrier that is inserted under each wooden post, attached along the rim joist, and secured in place. We also sealed up the vents, and applied spray foam along the foundation walls to help keep this home dry and healthy. To ensure humidity wouldn't become an issues, we finished by installing a SaniDry dehumidifier. 

This home experienced flooding around their foundation and in their basement. The homeowners had tried making channels along one side of the home for water to drain, but this became a muddy mess and the problem was only better for a short period of time. They knew they would need a better solution or else their basement would suffer more from pooling. They called up John's Waterproofing for some help. We sent out a design specialist who found their home was near a high water table and the water was wanting to pool around the home since that dirt was still generally looser from when the home had been built. 

To solve the homes water issues we began by working on the exterior. We extended the downspouts into the ground and attached them to a drainage system that would divert the roof water well away from the homes foundation to a LawnScape outlet. In the basement we then dug a trench along the interior perimeter, here we laid down a bed of gravel and WaterGuard. This will collect water and grade it along to a newly installed SuperSump pump which pushes all collected water well away from the home. The homeowner liked the idea of making the basement more energy efficient, so to finish off this job we installed ThermalDry radiant barrier along the foundation walls. This acts as both a vapor barrier and a waterproof insulation. This home will now enjoy being dry and healthy! 

This home didn't have any water issues during the rainy season,  but each summer, a smell would occur, only to lay dormant until the heat came back. They couldn't figure out the outdoor but wanted it fixed,  so they called up some crawlspace experts from John Waterproofing. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection and created a solution for their home.  

The odd odor was due to humidity issues, causing mold spores to grow along some of the wooden beams under the home.  To begin we cleared out the old fiberglass that had been present under the home,  we then applied Mold X2 as needed.  We then insulated the floor with TerraBlock insulation.  Next came CleanSpace, a 20-mill vapor barrier made with a woven material to help ensure its longevity. Next, the walls are insulated with Spray Foam, and a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity levels healthy for this home from here on out. 

This home smelled a little off. The homeowners tried to identify the issue and ended up finding the smell getting worse as they neared their crawlspace. When the opened up the entrance to look, they found water moisture along the foundation walls and water mold growing in patches. They ended up calling up John's Waterproofing to schedule their free inspection and see how they could properly address their homes needs. 

To protect the home, we began by cleaning out the crawlspace. We then installed a drainage system around the interior perimeter, this would collect water and grade it to a newly installed UltraSump Pump to send the water well away from the home. We then applied Mold X as needed to ensure the mold was treated properly. The next step was insulating the dirt floor with TerraBlock and sealing up the vents. CleanSpace was then inserted under each wooden post, anchored to the walls and sealed into place. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier and applied spray foam along the foundation walls. This home will now stay dry and healthy and the homeowners noted the odor is gone!

While getting ready to list their home, the realtor suggested the homes crawlspace get repairs. It's old vapor barrier was caked in mud, and had debris throughout. To help them receive a better price for the home, the homeowners opted to use John's Waterproofing Fix it to List is program. Our usual real estate job is the PPP. This includes our installation crew clearing out the crawlspace. We then install full Pipe, which is a drainage system throughout the crawlspace, which collects groundwater and grades it to the lowest spot. Here we install a Pump, in this home it was a SuperSump pump to divert all collected water safely away from the homes foundation. Finally we install the Plastic, a 6 Mil vapor barrier. This program gets the home ready to sell, and should the homeowner choose to upgrade their system in the future to a full encapsulation, it is easy to upgrade. 

Water stains along the foundation walls are an easy way to see that water issues are occurring. While water will be present during the rainy months, after years of water leaking through, mineral stains are left behind. This homes basement had a majority of its walls covered with storage shelving, so the homeowner hadn't seen water creeping through. However, after performing a deep clean of the shelves, they noted many of the walls were stained. They called up John's Waterproofing to schedule their in-home inspection. 

To address the homes needs, we crafted a solution. To begin, a full interior perimeter drain system was installed, consisting of a bed of gravel, WaterGuard, and then sealed up. WellDucts were then installed by the windows that showed water stains around them. These will collect the water and guide it down into the drain system. The drainage system is graded to a low spot of the basement where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed, sending all collected water safely away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. This thick woven barrier will keep moisture from the wall guided down to be collected in the drain system. A SaniDry dehumdiifer was then installed and an Aspen in the homes living space. These two machines will work together to keep the homes air clean from the foundation up. 

Water on the basement walls. That's what these homeowners discovered, and they wanted to find a way to solve this issue, so they called up John's Waterproofing. We send out a design specialist who did a full inspection and crafter a solution to suit the homes needs and the owners wants. 

To begin our crew dug a trench along the interior perimeter of the space. here we laid in a bed of Gravel and our WaterGuard drainage system. To guide water from the walls down into this, we installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier. The drain system is then carefully graded to send the water along to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. We then installed a SaniDry dehumifier. 

A bouncy floor and door sticking in its frame let this homeowner know that something might be off. They did some research and learned that it could be a sign of issues with their homes wooden posts. This can be a big expense to address, but if left unchecked, will only become more costly. They decided it was better to handle it now, and called up John's Waterproofing to assess the damage and see what their solutions would look like. During the inspection, four wooden posts had extensive dry rot, due to water levels rising in the area when heavy rains hit, and would need to be replaced. The homeowners were also talked through options to help prevent damage from occurring, and they opted for our middle option, that will set their home up well should they want to encapsulate in the future. 

To begin our crew pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris from under the home. We then replaced the four rotting wooden posts, exchanging these for SmartJacks. We then dug a trench along the interior perimeter, this will collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest spot of the crawlspace where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump to push the water away from the homes foundation. As a final step we laid down a new 6 mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and running it up the wall. We let the homeowners know this would need to be replaced every few years, as a 6 mil is not a long term form of protection. But the new drain system would keep water from rising up to the wooden posts like it had been doing. 

Heavy rains kept pushing this homes 6 Mil vapor barrier out of place, and water would pool in the low spot of the crawl space. The homeowners tried to build a trench along the outside of the home to help, but this would fill in with run off from the hillside and quickly became ineffective. To solve their crawl space woes, they called up John's Waterproofing for a long term solution. 

To begin our crew went under the home and removed the old vapor barrier and debris. We then installed a TripleSafe sump pump to collect groundwater from the low point and pump it away from the home. This will keep the water moving and the space from flooding. We then laid down TerraBlock insulation, and sealed the vents shut. CleanSpace was then installed throughout, going under the wooden posts, anchoring along the rim joists, and sealed into place with our special four inch wide waterproof tape. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to keep the air healthy, and spray foam applied to the foundation walls. This space will now be dry and healthy and the homeowners no longer need to stress about water issues. 

This home went through a routine inspection before being sold, and the crawl space was in need of some help. The ground here was a wet mess from groundwater coming up. To keep the water from laying stagnant here, it would need a drainage system. For this, the inspector recommended John's Waterproofing. We sent out our realty expert who was about to quote the job and streamline the process to fit the quick nature that the housing market requires. We pulled out the old vapor barrier and debris. A full interior drainage system was laid throughout, a SuperSump Plus then pulls the water out and away from the homes foundation. We then laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier. The space is now ready to go to sale!

This home had a basement that we had waterproofed and finished many years ago and were keeping up on their annual maintenance visits. During this year's visit, they learned that we offer radon testing and mitigation. Knowing there was high radon around their home, they wanted to have us test their home. We did a continuous test to see how the homes radon levels fluctuate over three days, finding the homes average was at 8.1 pCi/L. This is within the 'needs mitigation' level and the homeowners gave the thumbs up to mitigate. We installed a pipe that would go down into the basements floor. This will have a fan that is installed on the exterior of the home. Using this, the radon gases are pulled out from under the home before it gets into the living spaces and the gases are sent out and away from the home. To ensure the system is working properly we left behind a charcoal testing kit. This will test the radon level at the moment, providing a snapshot of the home's radon levels. The kit is sent to a third party and the results are then sent to the homeowners, ensuring the mitigation system has done its job. 

This home sat on the hillside and water would run down the hill and go under the home. Because of this, the crawl space was a mess. Water would push the simple 6 mil vapor barrier to the lowest point of the crawl space the space also contained old fiberglass insulation that was falling down and falling in strips. To search for some help, they called upon John's Waterproofing. We went out and did a full inspection both around the home and through the crawl space. After which we sat with the homeowners and walked through a solution to set their home up to remain dry and healthy. 

Firstly we pulled out the old fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. Following this we encapsulated the space. We installed drainage to guide groundwater to the lowest point of the crawl space, here a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. This will pump the water away from the foundation. Next, we laid in a TerraBlock insulation along the dirt floor. CleanSpace was then wrapped throughout, going under each wooden post, anchored and sealed along the rim joist, and sealed along all seams. Then we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air moisture under control and applied spray foam to the foundation walls. This space is now set to keep the space healthy and the homeowners don't need to worry about water under their home! 

This homeowner called us a couple of years back. Their small basement was finished and consisted of a bedroom, bathroom, hallway, and garage. They had noticed a damp smell and some water on the floor in their garage. Because of this, they called up John's Waterproofing. We put together a waterproofing solution and scheduled their installation. But a week before installation, they called and canceled. They said the water was gone, and they didn't need the work performed now. We let them know that if the issue comes back they should call us, foundation leaks are persistent. Two years later they called back, the water was back, and it was worse than before. They had set up fans to try to dry the space out, but the water was leaking in and still puddling in some places. We sent out a specialist who did an inspection and updated the job. 

To begin, we removed the drywall that was present, the back of the insulation was damp against the foundation walls and smelled musty. We then pulled the carpeting up, while some dampness was evident the first time we were out, this was now moldy. We then installed a full drain system. This includes a trench made along the interior perimeter. We laid in a bed of gravel and along the walls, we installed WaterGuard, near the garage door, TrenchDrain. These will collect groundwater and grade it to the lowest point where it goes into a TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped safely away from the foundation. We ensure moisture from the walls is guided to the new drain system, we installed our ThermalDry radiant vapor barrier along the walls in the finished spaces, BrightWall paneling in the garage. The ThermalDry was then reinsulated with SilverGlo and re-covered with Drywall by our finishing department. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed at the end to keep the moisture content here dry and healthy. The homeowners are glad they no longer need to worry about water and are glad they ended up getting the work done.
