Crawlspace has a DIY sump pump That cant Keep Up - Newburg, OR
This DIY sump pump couldnt keep up with the water in the crawlspace. The dirt floor was constantly wet and water was seeping through the porous concrete walls. To make this space healthy we installed a TripleSafe sump pump, a CleanSpace vapor barrier, and spray foam where needed.
Damp Storage Items in a Damp Crawlspace - Newberg, OR
This homes large crawlspace was being used for storage items. However the items were ending up a bit damp as the 6 Mil vapor barrier was getting pushed around when heavy rains hit, and the humidity levels in this space were high. To address these concerns, they called up John's Waterproofing and received their free inspection and estimate for a full encapsulation. They were excited for the accompanying benefits of encapsulation and moved forward!
Setting the Crawl Space up to Remain Dry and Healthy - Newberg, OR

This home had high humidity issues in the crawlspace. This had weighted down the original fiberglass insulation and it was falling in pieces. To remediate the issue we did a full encapsulation.
Sump Pump in the Wrong Location - Longview, WA
This home had an older sump pump in the crawlspace, installed before the current homeowner purchased the home. After living in the home for a few years, they went under the home to see how it was holding up. They discovered the hold vapor barrier had slide around a bit, leaving damp earth exposed and some mold growth. When they got to the sump pump they saw it was a mess, and there was a pool of water in the nearby corner. They called up John's Waterproofing for some assistance.
The sump pump issue was because the pump had not been placed properly, it should be in the lowest spot, ensuring it collects the groundwater. We installed a full drainage system, a brand new sump pump, TerraBlock Insulation, CleanSpace, a SaniDry dehumidifier and will be adding Spray Foam insulation to the foundation walls as well. This crawlspace is now properly cared for and can remain dry and healthy.
