This homes crawl space had some musty odors wafting up into the home. Unable to crawl under the home himself, the homeowner called up John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. We took photos and showed the homeowner the layer of dust and grime that was under the home, as well as evidence of critter activity. To keep the space healthy we cleared it out, installed a drainage system, TerraBlock, CleanSpace, and air sealed the space. We finished up with a SaniDry dehumidifier and new EverLast exterior doorway.
This home had a small basement with a crawlspace next to it on a slope. The basement had been waterproofed and finished, however, a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier and store-bought sump pump had been used. However this could not keep up with the water demands, and the sump pump had been installed on the wrong side, not where the lowest point was set. To fix this space and protect the home, a full encapsulation was installed.
This homeowners crawlspace was insulated with fiberglass, and the construction company had stored the excess fiberglass under the home. The crawlspace now lent a musty and dank odor that was crawling up into the home, and it was due to mold and mildew festering in this insulation. To make this a healthy space once more a full encapsualtion was installed. Now the home is dry and healthy once more.
Due to excessive moisture this foundation support is cracking and giving way. Thankfully our team was there to replace it with a SmartJack so a sinking home will not be a worry for them.
Although we recommend a full encapsulation system this vapor barrier replacement still looks pretty good and will help a home be sale ready.
This customer called because spiders and other insects were getting into his crawlspace. So we sent out our inspector and they recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier will keep his crawlspace dry and humidity down. Now having a CleanSpace encapsulation he will never have to worry about water or insects again.
