This home's finished basement was molding and mushy. To fix this issue, the homeowners had the space gutted, waterproofed, and refinished with our elite floor planks and Everlast Wall panels.
Look at the difference the Cleanspace basement wall system makes in this basement. It's a moisture barrier that gives your basement a clean bright look!
This basements walls were leaking water everywhere! And this home owner wanted to finish his basement, so we came out and installed a Waterguard perimeter drain system and our thermal dry wall system. The Thermal dry will act as a vapor barrier as well as insulation. It will channel any incoming water from high up into our Watergaurd system making sure it won’t get on the basement floor. It is made out of inorganic material meaning no organic substance such as fungus, mildew or mild can grow on it. This basement is now waterproof and ready to be finished!
Water damage is every homeowners biggest nightmare. It can cause the wooden posts supporting your home to rot, increases exposure to mold growth, and structural damage can cost homeowners thousands. Good thing at John's Waterproofing our encapsulation process helps to keep your crawl spaces dry and healthy so that water can't cause any damage. The most important step in the encapsulation system is removing everything in the crawl space that has been water damaged. Usually that means we are taking out falling fiberglass insulation and the destroyed vapor barrier. Once everything is cleared out, we can install a proper drainage system. We dig a trench along the interior perimeter of the crawl space and lay a perforated pipe. This pipe can collect any water that tries to enter and offers it a safe passageway to a drain. For this encapsulation we installed a SmartDrain to collect the water from the pipe and send it away from the homes foundation. This system helps to keep the crawl space dry and avoid standing water. Afterwards, we install TerraBlock along the entire base of the space. This is a thick insulation foam that seals the earth from the house. It helps insulate and promotes energy efficiency because it regulates the environment. Next, a CleanSpace vapor barrier is installed on the base, up the foundation walls, and between the footing and wooden posts to isolate and protect. This vapor barrier differs from code regulated barriers because instead of only being 6 mil thin, it is 20 mil thick. It helps keep water from seeping over top and getting into the crawl space. A SaniDry dehumidifier is installed that filters the air by pulling out any particles or moisture. Lastly, Spray Foam is applied along the foundation walls to insulate and air seal the space. Once the encapsulation is completed, it has a clean look while also keeping it dry and healthy.
