When a home has a hard time regulating temperatures, this becomes a big burden on the heating and cooling bills. This home was getting a revamp on its insulation and windows to make the home more energy efficient. For the crawlspace, this entailed pulling out the old fiberglass that was drooping and insufficient, and doing an encapsulation which includes TerraBlock insulation and spray foam.
This homeowner had seen our truck in their neighborhood a few times. They decided to call John's Waterproofing to see what we do and why it was important. After hearing about energy savings as well as the expensive repairs that accompany water issues in the crawl space, they decided to get ahead of the problem with an encapsulation system.
This homeowners crawlspace would flood. They had us out for the initial inspection and learned all about our encapsulation. They knew with the extensive amount of water they faced, they would need to protect their home against the water issues that could occur. A design was crafted, including two Sump pumps to address the water concerns and the system was installed.
This home's water moisture content had brought the insulation down, and the old vapor barrier was covered in dried mud. We did a full clean-out and encased the space with TerraBlock crawlspace insulation, Cleanspace vapor barrier, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and had this home dry and healthy!
This homes crawl space was a mess. It had been overlooked for far too long, and had falling fiberglass, rotting wood that was stored down here and a general mess from other contractors doing work through the crawl space. To get it back into shape, and keep the space healthy, John's Waterproofing was called upon for a full encapsulation.
