Your Leading Stayton, OR Wet Basement Professionals

This homes crawl space was tight and difficult to go through. The homeowners knew they wouldn't be able to go through this area, but they could see small puddles of water over the vapor barrier that was present. So they called up John's Waterproofing. We scheduled their free inspection, went over home goals, budget, and crafted a solution to help their home. 

To begin we removed the old vapor barrier and debris that was present. There was also a damp fiberglass insulation along the underside of the home, this was pulled out as well. Once pulled out a few spots of mold were discovered, these were spot treated with Mold X2. We then installed a full drainage system. This involves a perforated pipe within a silt sock along the interior perimeter. This will collect groundwater and grade it carefully to the lowest point of the space where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed. We then laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping edges and running this up the walls to help it stay in place so it can last a few years before needing to be replaced or upgraded again. 

This home had a few electrical items they were looking to have addressed. Having had John's do work on their homes below-grade space, they decided to call us up for our Electrical department now. The first item on their agenda was adding a 100 Amp panel for their barn, as well as installing a 50 Amp RV plug. We also installed a new overhead light in the barn to brighten the space as well as a new back porch light. Our electricians got the jobs all done efficiently and checked all of the work over to ensure things were all good to go! 

Our Electrical division is proud to be installing Cummins whole home generators. This homeowner wanted to ensure their home would keep going, even if a power outage occurred. They had found us online as the areas Cummins dealer, and were happy to call us to to discuss the process of getting their home set up. We went over the process, the pricing, and the timeline of installation. To begin the location for the generator was selected, and a level platform was installed. We then had the generator installed and our electricians and plumber worked together to run the needed lines, hooking up all aspects to have the system wired to the home. It is set to turn on as soon as a power interruption occurs. This homeowner will no longer need to stress over any loss of power. Once things were hooked up, we checked the system in its entirety, ensuring the homeowner is properly cared for! 

This home experienced flooding after heavy rains, the homeowners were unprepared to address below-grade issues, but knew they would need to. After asking around, they gave John's Waterproofing to receive a free inspection and estimate. After examining the home and identifying the major issues, the specialist worked to craft a solution that fit the home, and the homeowners budget. 

To begin work, our crew had to dry out the space, we installed some temporary pumps and drained out the water. We then cleared out the space and began our work. We dug a trench through the crawlspaces perimeter. This will collect the groundwater and is graded to the lowest spot in the crawlspace. Here we installed a SuperSump Plus to collect the drainage water and then send it safely away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then laid down a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges to help protect the home from major water issues. The barrier will need to be replaced or upgraded in a few years, as a 6 Mil is not a long term solution. 

The homeowner of this home called up John's Waterproofing when they found pooling water in their basement. They heard about John's Waterproofing from a family member and wanted to have their issue addressed. One of our design specialist arrived and did a full inspection, and found water creeping in through the foundation walls. 

To waterproof this space we began by digging a trench around the interior perimeter. Here we installed our WaterGuard drainage system. This rests in a bed of gravel and grades the water to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. We then installed BrightWall paneling along the foundation walls to divert any wall moisture down into the drain system. The WaterGuard is then sealed up to make it flush with the flooring. The sump pump then pushes the collected water and sends it out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. As a final step we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to ensure the space remains dry and healthy. 

Older homes did not have a need for a water line to be directed to their refrigerator. However this homeowner had recently purchased a brand new fridge that had a water dispenser and ice maker. The homeowner was thrilled with this new feature, but needed to have water line set up so this would work. They were referred to John's Waterproofing plumbing department for help by a friend. 

Our plumbers arrived and added in a new water line that was fed up through the kitchens walls and added for the fridge. Since the fridge was already there we hooked up the whole system and helped the homeowner place their fridge where it would stay. The homeowner was thrilled with how quickly and easily this occurred. 

This customer called wanting to see about getting a sump pump for her crawlspace after a plumber's inspection showed water in her crawlspace. John's Waterproofing was more than happy to get her scheduled with one of our highly trained System Designers.

After he arrived at the property, the designer hopped down into the crawlspace and inspected it thoroughly.  After inspecting the crawlspace he did a full inspection of the exterior of the home of those areas that related to the foundation and took measurements so he could give the homeowner an accurate proposal.  After agreeing on the work, the office was called and the work was scheduled.

To begin, our crew removed the 6 mil vapor barrier and 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 SuperSump Plus pump and battery backup to assure continued operation in the event of a power outage along with proper discharge. Finally, a 6mil vapor barrier was laid over the dirt floor and overlapped at a minimum of 18' at the seams and up the foundation walls where it was fastened to keep it from moving around. It also ensured that any water beaching from footings or walls would be driven into the drain system. 

These homeowners needed to move their water heater, and to do this properly and get all of their lines extended and moved in accordance, our plumbing division went out. They moved the water heater, and connected all of the lines once more. They then checked that everything was in working order. With everything moved over properly they headed out. 

This homeowner found us online because when it rained, water would get into her basement through the front porch of the house. She set up an inspection with us, and Carolann came out to take a look. Carolann determined that the water was, in fact, coming in from all of the walls, but the front was especially bad. She recommended that we install Cleanspace walls, our patented Waterguard perimeter drain, and a Super Sump pump.

Roberta consented to our suggestions and Manuel and his team quickly went to work. They installed the Cleanspace walls which capture and direct wall seepage/leaks into the perimeter drain. Cleanspace walls are maintenance free, and look bright and beautiful once in place. The Waterguard perimeter drain was installed around the perimeter of the basement to collect wall and floor seepage and direct it to the Super Sump pump. The Super Sump pump can remove up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour while working smoothly and quietly. 

With our systems all working together, Roberta now has a dry, healthy and usable basement once again.
