This homes old insulation was heavy with water and had mold spores. To fix this crawlspace we did a full crawlspace encapsulation to properly insulate this home.
This homeowner knew they needed crawlspace repair. When the noted a damp earthy smell, they opened up the crawlspace entrance in their closet, only to find a muddy flood. They called up John's Waterproofing for a full encapsulation. We first performed a full dry-out and then encapsulated the space to make it dry and healthy.
The crawlspace needs to be insulated properly. So many people believe attaching fiberglass along the underside of your home will keep your home insulated. However, it absorbs moisture, holding it against the homes wooden beams, and allowing mold to fester. This home suffered from this issue, and to address it, the homeowners needed to tackle the mold and what caused the mold so it wouldn't end up coming back. To keep their home healthy, a full encapsulation was installed, properly insulating the home and preventing mold.
This home had water in the crawlspace, you can see on the posts that water damage had already started to get to them. Water in the crawlspace leads to mold and wood rot, meaning the posts that hold your home up will become weak or broken. This can cause a number of issues for you inside of them home. But with John's Cleanspace encapsulation system, you won’t have to worry about unseen water intrusion harming your home or health anymore.
This water logged crawlspace needed a full dry out. We then installed a three inch drainage pipe, SmartSump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep this space dry and healthy.
