This homeowner called us up when they found heavy water stains in their crawlspace and the dirt and fiberglass was damp. They had a simple white vapor barrier laid throughout, but the moisture in the area was leaving the space still damp. To address the homes water issues, they would need a full encapsulation.
The water was not being drained out properly through the sump pump they had in place due to placement and the amount of water coming in was more than the pump was designed for. John’s came in and Installed our Triplesafe sump pump and encapsulated the crawlspace with Cleanspace to help prevent any further water damage. An UltraSump Backup battery was also installed to help guarantee no sump failures during any of the many storms the coastal cities endure in this area.
This home had their crawlspace for general storage. Because of this they layered vapor barriers over the dirt floor to add extra protection should the plastic tear while they moved through the space. While pools of water were not an issue, humidity was becoming a concern as their old fiberglass began to absorb water and droop. To ensure this space remained dry and healthy they called up John's Waterproofing for a full encapsualtion, making this space a much healthier storage room.
Dead critters in the crawlspace show that critters are making their way in. This homeowner could smell the crawlspace from upstairs and wanted to clear the space out of the debris and intruders. After a full inspection with the homeowner and a sit down discussion about benefits, the homeowner chose to have a full encapsulation with TerraBlock, CleanSpace, TripleSafe Sump Pump, SaniDry Dehumidifier, and Spray Foam. The odor is now gone, and the homeowner is thrilled to know critters will be deterred from coming back.
This crawlspace was full of water, our crew quickly got the water out and the crawlspace dry. It only took them 2 days to get this space looking bright and clean!
