Water had been leaking in this home in a very deep area of the crawl space. A new SaniDry SuperSump was installed that will pump water out of the basement to help keep it dry.
Even though we really encourage a crawl space encapsulation we also know that it's not always achievable. This crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier replacement. The old one was muddy from water coming in and not protecting the home like it was supposed to. We did a traditional black plastic replacement and what a difference. You can see when we replaced it our crew made sure the vapor barrier went up the foundation wall and made sure the protection was there. The homeowner was very pleased to have it done.
Sump Pumps work best when they can have annual service. When left unchecked they can accumulate silt and sediment which can lead to flooding the Sump Pump.
This home had a hillside crawlspace, that included some poured flat spaces. The homeowners wanted to utilize this for storage space, but they knew any water intrusion could cause damage, so they called up John's Waterproofing for encapsulation!
The Homeowner was constantly battling with a musty smell in her home. No matter what she did, or cleaner she used, the smell just wouldn't go away. When she heard John talk about musty smells possibly coming from your crawlspace she called us out to investigate. Sure enough that was where Janine's problem began. The relative humidity in Janine's crawlspace was 70% (it is relative humidity that leads to moisture and unwanted smells) and the dank air filled the room. We encapsulated her crawlspace, installed a dehumidifier and solved Janine's problem. Now the air in her house is clean and she is saving every month on her heating and cooling.
