Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Most homeowners seldom enter or use their crawlspaces. Unfortunately, just because they ignore the crawlspace doesn't mean the crawlspace doesn't have an impact on the health of the home.

Water vapor that rises through the unprotected floor of the crawlspace can support mold growth and rot, which can damage the floors that run above the crawlspace. Additionally, because air flows upwards through a house, the smells from mold, mud and critters that get into the crawlspace rises through the rest of the home. 

To prevent these problems, Cory A. installed CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is a tough, waterproof liner like a pool liner that incapsulates the crawlspace to prevent water, water vapor and even critters from entering the crawlspace. The tear-proof inside of the liner means that things can be stored in the crawlspace without worrying about them ripping the liner and reducing its effectiveness. On the back of CleanSpace™ is an anti-microbial layer that will block mold growth to help keep the crawlspace protected.

Any water that builds up beneath the CleanSpace™ vapor barrier is directed to a TripleSafe™ sump pump so it can be pumped out of the home. Additionally, a Sedona dehumidifier is installed to dry the air and help filter out mold spores.

Because the crawlspace is now protected from mold, critters and water vapor, more insulation can be installed. In this basement, a foam insulation is sprayed against the gaps between the floor joists to help seal in the comfortable air and keep out the uncomfortable air.

This crawlspace is healthier and will help to improve the health of the home above it. Not only is the home more protected from water damage and mold growth, but it will also be more energy efficient but sealing the crawlspace and keeping unconditioned air out of the home.

A sidewalk in High Ridge, MO, was unleveled and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. This system works by drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath. The foam then expands, lifting and leveling the concrete slabs. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their sidewalk is in great shape! 

A crawlspace in High Ridge, MO, was struggling with humidity and stability. This was distressful to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This highly durable liner will keep the humidity, as well as other outside elements, out of the crawlspace. Next, a SmartJack™ was used to stabilize the crawlspace. These custom cut steel beams will equally distribute the wright of the building and can tightened over time. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace is safe and dry. 

This Ballwin, Missouri home had cracked walls as well as bowing walls. Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors to correct the bowing wall. Our product can be used to effectively repair and waterproof a wall crack.

This Ballwin, Missouri home had a sump pump installed by Woods Basement Systems. Woods Basement Systems offers several waterproofing options ranging from sump pumps to WaterGuard. WaterGuard was also installed in this home. WaterGuard is a system designed to prevent water from building up around the walls of a home which can create hydrostatic pressure and cause problems other than leakage.
