Layer of Mud on the Old Vapor Barrier - Cornelius, OR
This homeowner had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier in the crawlspace. They knew every year it would need to be replaced. When heavy rains hit, it always brought mud on top of the vapor barrier. They wanted to know what else they could do to prolong the life of the 6 Mil vapor barrier, so they called John's Waterproofing. While they weren't ready for an encapsulation, they did have us install a full drainage system, TripleSafe sump pump, and lay down a new 6 Mil Vapor Barrier. This will keep water from bringing mud over the plastic, letting it last a bit longer between each replacement.
