Before & After Photos

This home's crawlspaces old vapor barrier was not installed properly and the water had been pooling under it, on it, and the moisture was being absorbed by the old fiberglass insulation. This passageway under the home had the old wooden frame rotting under the vapor barrier. To address this waterproofing issue we installed our dimpled drainage matting, insulated it with TerraBlock, and then sealed it all in with Cleanspace. The after photo here is from the work-in-progress stage, showing the layers that go into this encapsulation. 

This homes crawlspace had fallen to disrepair. They had to have pest control out to rid the space of critters and were referred to John's for the best preventative work; encapsulation. We cleaned out the space and brought in the material to have this space dry and healthy. 

When critters find a way into the crawl space, the air quality in your home suffers. This homes living spaces smelled of rodent droppings and the smell wafted into the home from the HVAC system which ran under the home. Wanting to actually rid the home of the issue and deter critters from making their way under the home again, they called and wanted to learn about encapsulation. they are happy to hear how the CleanSpace has a woven fiber, difficult for rodents to crew through, and the system will air seal the space to keep critters away. 

This homeowner knew they had repeat rodent issues and the smell of mold was in the crawl space. They wanted to issues solved, not just temporarily, but with real solutions. So they called up John's Waterproofing, they had heard good things about encapsulation from a neighbor and were eager to learn more. After a full inspection and having their questions answered, they were ready to move forward! 

This crawlspace had standing water throughout the whole space, making it a muddy mess. We came in and dried it out and installed CleanSpace, a smartsump sump pump, a sanidry dehumidifier and added spray foam insulation for added energy efficiency. This homeowner will now have a dry crawlspace while saving money on energy costs for years to come.
