This small crawlspace is the side of this home that is built into a hillside. It had a lot of drainage issues and the homeowners had tried to do a DIY Sump Pump to waterproof, however, this ended up clogged with mud and the plastic sheets they had put over the dirt floor were cased with mud. To take control over the water, they called Johns for a full encapsulation; perforated pipes along the interior perimeter, Dimpled Drainage matting, TerraBlock insulation, SuperSump, UltraSump back up, SmartJacks for stability, CleanSpace, a SaniDry Sedona, Spray Foam, new vent covers, and an EverLast Doorway.
These homeowners found their crawlspace in poor condition. They knew there should be a better way, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing. After a thorough inspection, they decided to move forward and have a full encapsulation.
This home had high humidity levels in the crawl space. The homeowners had tried to have fiberglass insulation but due to the moisture content, this was drooping and needing to be re-tacked up. To address this, they were ready to try something new. Our encapsulation offers long-lasting crawl space insulation with TerraBlock over the floor and Spray Foam along the foundation walls. The new SaniDry dehumidifier will address moisture issues and this space will be dry, stable, and healthy.
By installing the CleanSpace Encapsulation and a SuperSump sump pump we were able to solve this homeowner water intrusion issues. This crawl space will now be dry for years to come.
This customer called us when they discovered a water was coming into the crawlspace and causing moisture and mold spores to grow. It was affecting the walls and air of the house. So we sent out one of our inspectors to see what we could do to fix the problem.
Our inspector went and found standing water in the crawlspace which had started to ruin the old black plastic vapor barrier and create a muddy mess. We did a crawlspace clean out and remove the wet sagging fiberglass insulation. We installed our crawlspace encapsulation system with our Cleanspace vapor barrier that is 20 mil thick and tacks on the walls of the crawlspace while sealing the vents. We also installed a smart sump pump that will pump all water out along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will keep all moisture, dust mites, and mold spores clear from the air you breathe in your home. We then used our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the crawlspace efficiently keeping warm air in and a nicely sealed space.
The homeowner was so relieved to have us encapsulate her crawlspace and they don't have to worry about water or mold again. They now can relax knowing their family will be breathing clean air in their home.
