This homes old fiberglass insulation was water damaged and had evidence of critters throughout. To keep this space healthy we installed a full crawlspace encapsulation.
This crawlspace had been insulated, but the high humidity was an issue. As moisture was absorbed into the insulation fibers, they became heavy and were falling apart. The home owners heating and cooling costs had gone up, and an odd odor permeated into the home. Looking for insulation that could withstand the conditions of a crawlspace, they turned to John's Waterproofing. After hearing about the benefits of a full encapsulation, the homeowners were on board!
This homeowner called up John's Waterproofing because they had seen water in their crawlspace. They began looking up what water could mean for a basements health and knew they wanted to protect their home. They called up John's Waterproofing to get a free inspection and to learn about encapsulation and how it would help keep their home dry and healthy.
This homeowner never knew why she could smell an earthy musty smell in her home. She saw our ad and decided to call us for an inspection. Our design specialist recommended a crawl space encapsulation with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our crew installed our 20 mils thick CleanSpace vapor barrier that is rip-resistant and prevents mold growth. After getting an encapsulation the homeowner couldn't smell that musty smell anymore. She also said there was a noticeable difference in temperature of the home.
This homes old vapor barrier was no longer doing its job. Moisture had pushed its way in absorbed into the old fiberglass insulation and caked mud had overtaken the barrier. To solve this we did a full crawlspace encapsulation with insulation made for a crawlspace to ensure the home would stay dry and healthy.
