This crawlspace in Portland was dirty, wet, and was degrading the foundation of the home. Our crew installed our patented Cleanspace system and ensured the crawlspace would properly drain and never be an issue again.
This homeowner had been dealing with moisture issues, drooping fiberglass, and returned critters. After noticing the issues kept coming back, they knew the would need a long term solution to keep the problems away. For this they called up John's Waterproofing to learn more about a full encapsulation.
This homes old sump pump was unable to keep up with the homes water issues. It would overfill and water would pool over the old 6 Mil vapor barrier. To address this concern, they knew they would need to have a better system installed with an upgraded sump pump. We did a full encapsulation as replaced the sump pump with a TripleSafe sump pump.
When a pipe begins to leak in a crawl space, it can take some time for the homeowners to notice. This pipe had a slow dripping leak that had began to fester and the moldy smell was starting to drift upstairs. Upon inspection the old fiberglass was soaked with water and mold was spreading through it. The homeowners wanted to ensure this issue wouldn't go unnoticed again, so they had our plumbing department fix the pipe and a waterproofing crew encapsulate the space.
To keep the water moving, a sump pump should be installed in the lowest point. This home had caked on mud and rocks that had gathered in this point over the years. Now that grade will help the water flow and be pumped out safely.
