Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

This home's owners had done a DIY sump pump and laid out their own vapor barrier, however, it wasn't keeping up with the groundwater around their home, and vermin were getting into the space still. To take back their crawlspace, the homeowners got a full crawlspace encapsulation, keeping this home dry and healthy. 

The crawlspace of this home had a digger portion dug out to allow for easy accessibility, however it became a large muddy pool when the rains came along. To allow the homeowners access to a dry and healthy crawlspace we installed our dimpled drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SmartSump pump, SilverGlo insulation, and this home was ready to go!

This homeowner had fashioned a sump pump for their crawlspace from some online tutorials, however, it could not compete with the groundwater and clogged up, creating a muddy mess. To get them waterproofed we did a new SmartSump pump, burred perforated pipes to direct the water, a vapor barrier, three SmartJacks to support the home as needed, and some seismic retrofitting to add stability to the home. 

This DIY sump pump couldnt keep up with the water in the crawlspace. The dirt floor was constantly wet and water was seeping through the porous concrete walls. To make this space healthy we installed a TripleSafe sump pump, a CleanSpace vapor barrier, and spray foam where needed. 

This home had an older sump pump in the crawlspace, installed before the current homeowner purchased the home. After living in the home for a few years, they went under the home to see how it was holding up. They discovered the hold vapor barrier had slide around a bit, leaving damp earth exposed and some mold growth. When they got to the sump pump they saw it was a mess, and there was a pool of water in the nearby corner. They called up John's Waterproofing for some assistance. 

The sump pump issue was because the pump had not been placed properly, it should be in the lowest spot, ensuring it collects the groundwater. We installed a full drainage system, a brand new sump pump, TerraBlock Insulation, CleanSpace, a SaniDry dehumidifier and will be adding Spray Foam insulation to the foundation walls as well. This crawlspace is now properly cared for and can remain dry and healthy.
