Your Willamina, OR Expert Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Encapsulation Company

This home had a few things they needed upgraded. To address these concerns they called up John's Electrical Division. We installed a bathroom fan with a power switch and proper venting. We also updated two of the homes light fixtures. These had been simple exposed lightbulbs, but were replaced with dome light fixtures. 

This homeowner had called us when water began pooling in their basement. They scheduled their free inspection. The day before, they called and cancelled, informing us the water was gone, they were no longer interested in having us out. While we advised them to not cancel, they still wished to and we obliged. The following month when rain came back, they called us back. The water was pooling again, it didn't solve itself. This time around, they kept their inspection scheduled and spoke with a design specialist. We worked on a solution that would keep their basement dry all of the time. 

To begin our work we created a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement. Here a drain system was installed using a bed of gravel and out WaterGuard drain system. This moves the groundwater and water from the walls to a newly installed TripleSafe sump pump in the lowest point of the basement. To ensure water is directed down the walls safely we installed a CleanSpace Wall Vapor barrier. We then installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the air to moisture level within a healthy range. Now, the home won't have to worry about hard rain, it has a system in place to keep it dry all year long. 

When a home goes to be sold, it needs to pass inspection. This homes crawlspace didn't pass inspection, to ensure the seller got the price they wanted for the home, they would need to address this space first. Per the inspectors recommendation, they called up John's Waterproofing. They were then able to work with our Fix it to List it Program, offering them realty benefits, where they chose to get out Pipe, Pump, and Plastic System. Our crew pulled out the old and damaged vapor barrier and debris. We then dug a trench where we installed a full drainage system in a silt sock to collect groundwater. This is guided along to a new SuperSump Plus which sends the water away from the home. A new 6 Mil vapor barrier is then laid throughout, overlapping the edges, and running it up the walls to help the space stay dry. The vapor barrier will need to be changed out every few years, but it is set to be sold now! 

With heavy water, this basement would flood along its hillside walls. The homeowners would have to clean it up but water stains were still persistent and the basement was consistently damp feeling, leaving mold to grown on some storage boxes. Then they heard about basement waterproofing at a local home show. They were curious if this could really solve their homes water issue, and scheduled their free inspection. 

To begin on this project, our crew went out and dug a trench along the homes interior perimeter. Here we installed a bed of gravel and our WaterGuard drain system. This is graded along the edges of the room to the lowest spot where we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. From here all collected water is send out and away from the home to a LawnScape outlet. We then installed BrightWall panels along the walls. These non-organic panels do not mold or rot and will guide water moisture from the walls down into the drainage system to be discharged away from the home.  As a final step we installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to keep the space dry and healthy. 

This homeowner called us up, they had used another company to waterproof their basement only a few months prior. They had a drainage baseboard system installed with an above ground sump pump. They had liked the price point and that no major work would need to be done to the space. However, the system had never been properly sealed and was already leaking in multiple places. That company wouldn't do anything about it, so the homeowners called up John's Waterproofing. 

To begin we pulled out the other system, we then dug a trench along the interior perimeter. Here we laid down a bed of gravel with a WaterGuard drainage system. Due to the homes high water table, a baseboard system would not be able to handle the homes water issues. They needed something that would suit their homes needs. The drainage system guides water along to the new TripleSafe sump pump which will pump all water well away from the home. Th walls were then waterproofed with BrightWall paneling, giving a bright and easy to clean surface. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to the space, ensuring this space will remain dry and healthy. 

This homes basement had condensation found along the foundation walls. The homeowners used the space as a general 'hang-out' space, and found condensation appearing along their pool table and on the backs of their recliners. Worried about the damage that could ensue, they called up John's Waterproofing for some professional help. 

To fix up the space we began by digging a trench along the interior parameter. Here we laid down WaterGaurd, a drainage system to collect all water and moisture and direct it to a TripleSafe sump pump. This pump will collect all water and divert it safely away from the homes foundation. We then installed BrightWall panels along the foundation to have all moisture from the walls directed into the drain system. As a final piece we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep this space dry and healthy so the homeowners could continue to enjoy their space. 

These homeowners had ignored their problematic basement for too long so they contacted John's Waterproofing to see what could be done to clean it up and create a dry space to use as storage. A System Designer was sent to the home and discovered a number of problems and presented solutions to address all of them. The first thing he noticed was the 9"x9" linoleum tiles were made of asbestos and this had to be addressed first by getting a professional asbestos removal company to come out and remove the tiles. Once that was accomplished one of John's Waterproofing's highly trained crews was sent out to do our part of the work.

The first order of business was to clear the basement of all the old construction debris. Then WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement floor. WaterGuard is an effective and reliable interior drainage system that will solve wet basement problems permanently! The system was installed to lead the water to a TripleSafe Sump System and discharged out to an underground pipe system which leads the water to a surface drain well away from the home.  The old sump pump that was in the middle of the basement was removed and the well was fill with concrete to give the homeowner a continuous flat floor and a dry and healthy home. 

When water levels are pretty consistent, an environment for mold can be created, and that's exactly what happened in this home. The basement was experiencing standing water in a few corners and along the cove joint where the floor and walls meet. In these spots, some water mold was growing, and creating a musty smell. To get control over this situation before health concerns arose, the homeowners called in John's Waterproofing. 

Our crew dug a trench in the foundation floor to install our WaterGaurd drainage system. This took the groundwater to a newly installed SuperSump and out via a discharge line to a LawnScape outlet that is a safe distance from the home. All the groundwater gets safely away from the home and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain a healthy level of humidity where mold is not welcome! 

Homeowners had a Homemade Sump Pump installed when they went to finish their basement years ago. Yet that was the only waterproofing that had been done. Over the years they began to notice mold spots creeping onto their floors and along the lower portions of their walls. Since the basement hadn't been thoroughly waterproofed, the damage was still finding a way in and had rendered most of the basement as molded and unusable. They needed a solution fast so that they could use their basement again. 

Our crews came in and had to demo most of the finished basement so we could properly waterproof the space. All molded and damaged flooring, wall panels, trim, and doors had to be hauled out. Once the space was cleaned up a trench was dig around the interior of the basement and a pipe was put in to direct all water to a brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system has three different pumps installed so that it can keep up with the water no matter what happens. All of the water is then pushed out and away from the homes foundation. We then installed out ThermalDry Wall systems and ThermalDry Floor Tiles. All materials are made of inorganic materials and leave room for any water to flow to the sump pump so that the space can be kept clean and healthy. Our Finishing crew was happy to come through once the basement was waterproofed to install trim, doors, and all the finishing touches to let the homeowners reclaim their basement space. 

A homeowner called us with concerns about their wet basement. Our crews went out to help. They installed WaterGuard piping system. The WaterGuard system intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement. It then drains that water, unseen and safely away to the sump pump. WaterGuard is designed to not sit directly in the dirt so it won't ever clog from silt or sediment. A SuperSump sump pump was also installed in the basement. The SuperSump can pump 2,650 gallons of water per hour and does it smoothly and quietly. It also has a WaterWatch alarm system built-in to alert the homeowner in the event of a plumbing leak before any damage can occur. Having the combination of the WaterGuard piping system and the SuperSump sump pump means that the homeowner can now enjoy their dry basement for years to come.
