Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

SmartJacks were used to stabilize and level the sinking floor in this Mount Vernon, Illinois crawl space. Team Woods installed several SmartJacks throughout the crawl space to reinforce the troubled foundation. 

This crawlspace beneath a home in Mount Vernon, IL. was protected against water damage with a light waterproof layer. This liner would block water and water vapor from risingin out of the dirt floor and into the crawlspace, where it could cause damage to the wooden structure above.

However, this liner was little more than plastice sheets. This liner was not durable and could tear easily. It also wasn't mold resistant, allowing mold to grow across its surface and cause damage to the liner and possibly spread to anything the liner touched.

That's why the homeowners hired Woods Basement Systems to upgrade their crawlspace protection with CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is a durable waterproofing liner made of several layers. The bottom layer is textured to allow water to flow beneath it so that any water built up there can flow to the sump pump. The top layer is a clean, white liner that will keep the inside totally dry. CleanSpace™ also features and anti-microbial layer that will prevent mold from growing on its surface.

With the new CleanSpace™ liner installed, the homeowner won't have to worry about their crawlspace protection tearing or growing moldy. Plus, the crawlspace is transformed into a useful space for safe storage in a nice clean room.

Homeowners from Mount Vernon, IL had previously hired Woods Basement Systems to install a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to protect their basement from flooding. The TripleSafe™ system offers exceptional protection with its three individual pumps and specially designed sump pit liner. 

To keep this system in top condition, Ben S. performed an annual maintenance inspection. During the inspection, Ben checked each individual pump, as well as the special liner, the battery for the battery-powered backup pump, the discharge lines, and the exterior line to make sure everything worked and that there were no leaks, breaks or malfunctions in the system. Should he have come across one, Ben would have been able to fix most issues during that same visit. This could include replacing a faulty old pump with a new one so that the TripleSafe™ stays in the best possible condition at all times.

These homeowners can relax knowing that their sump pump system is in good condition and will continue to be cared for by the dedicated experts at Woods Basement Systems.

In Mount Vernon, Illinois homeowner Ben D. was concerned about his crawl space. His crawl space was dirt covered, unsealed and smelly. After talking with a friend, he realized he could fix all of these problems and transform his crawl space into another place for storage in his home. He decided it was time to call Woods Basement Systems and get his crawl space sealed once and for all. 

Here at Woods, not only are we the experts in all things basementy and foundation repair, we also seal and transform crawl spaces. In addition, we extend the drainage line underground away from the foundation to further prevent water from entering the home. Once the job was completed, Ben was happy with the way his crawl space turned out and that he had a new place to store items in his home.

Jim M. of Mount Vernon, IL was concerned with his crawl space having a damp smell. Our system design specialist, Luke K., understood Jim’s concerns and recommended a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. CleanSpace keeps away unwanted water and vapor seepage, keeping the affected area dry. Once our foreman, James L., and his crew installed this durable and permanent solution, Jim can enjoy a clean and dry crawl space.
