Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Before this crawl space wasn't an asset to the home, but with the help of CleanSpace that completely changed. Now the crawl space is sealed, cleaned, and protected. CleanSpace will seal the home from the outer elements that can create harm like water, debris, and critters. This before and after speaks for itself!

This Mattoon, Illinois basement was ravaged with leaks during extended periods of rain. It seemed that at least once a month, the basement would fill with nearly a quarter-inch of water, requiring constant cleanup. In order to waterproof this space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed a WaterGuard drainage system. These gutter-like drains are place underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. 

A crawlspace in Mattoon, IL was damp and needed some extra support. To do this, Woods installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, and dramatically reduces the air's humidity level, eliminating mold growth and rot from the crawlspace and making the whole house healthier. The bright white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allows one to easily see that the crawlspace is free of mold, insects, and dirt. Additionally, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists, and lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

A sump pump was failing to pump out the amount of water that was entering it in Mattoon, IL, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now have no issue staying dry thanks to this system!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Mattoon, IL, creating a damp environment and allowing mold to grow. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. This crawlspace will now remain dry and clean for years to come!
