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 homes crawl space was tall and the owners liked to use it for long term storage. After using the space for a few years they decided to check how things were holding up, only to discover it was nasty under their home. The vapor barrier was caked in mud and the space smelled foul. They called up John's Waterproofing after reading up about encapsulation, eager to learn how this could benefit their crawl space and make it healthy for them to continue using for a storage space. From our system fully sealing the space against outside elements, the 20 mil thick woven vapor barrier that is backed by a 25 year warranty against rips and tears, to the dehumidifier that will protect the space from excess moisture in the air, the owners were sold! With the work all done, they can now happily enjoy and dry and healthy crawl space, made perfectly to ensure they can use the space for storage, and beneficially their home can be healthier.
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.
This crawlspace had the vapor barrier replaced and a smartsump sump pump installed to help pump out any crawlspace water intrusion.
