Standing water from a small spring that ran thru this crawlspace was causing quite the problem. What vapor barrier that was in place was pushed off to the side and mud was getting everywhere. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation system with a Super Sump pump that will pump water from the spring out to the new piping we laid to a safe spot far from the house. The homeowner now doesn't have to worry about standing water again in his crawlspace.
One of the many things we do is crawlspace entrances. This entrance before was hard to get into and wasn't sealed properly and allowed for pests and air into the crawlspace. We use an airtight vent cover that stops air flow so the crawlspace can be dry and healthy. It will never rot or rust because it can not be damaged by moisture. The homeowner loved how nice it looked after being done and was glad that it will be a lot easier to get in and out of the crawlspace as needed.
This small crawlspace is the side of this home that is built into a hillside. It had a lot of drainage issues and the homeowners had tried to do a DIY Sump Pump to waterproof, however, this ended up clogged with mud and the plastic sheets they had put over the dirt floor were cased with mud. To take control over the water, they called Johns for a full encapsulation; perforated pipes along the interior perimeter, Dimpled Drainage matting, TerraBlock insulation, SuperSump, UltraSump back up, SmartJacks for stability, CleanSpace, a SaniDry Sedona, Spray Foam, new vent covers, and an EverLast Doorway.
These homeowners found their crawlspace in poor condition. They knew there should be a better way, so they reached out to John's Waterproofing. After a thorough inspection, they decided to move forward and have a full encapsulation.
This home had high humidity levels in the crawl space. The homeowners had tried to have fiberglass insulation but due to the moisture content, this was drooping and needing to be re-tacked up. To address this, they were ready to try something new. Our encapsulation offers long-lasting crawl space insulation with TerraBlock over the floor and Spray Foam along the foundation walls. The new SaniDry dehumidifier will address moisture issues and this space will be dry, stable, and healthy.
