Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Don M. was having trouble keeping his Rochester, IL home comfortable. He had drafts coming into his home from the crawlspace. His energy bills were high from needing to run his air conditioning and heating much longer to get less change in the temperature of his home so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended insulating and encapsulating his crawl space.

Woods installed SilverGlo over the foundation walls and rim joists in the crawl space. SilverGlo is a graphite-infused rigid foam insulation that has a reflective surface to create a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into the crawl space. SilverGlo is waterproof and mold-resistant so it also prevents moisture from entering into the crawl space through the foundation walls. It seals drafts out and heated and cooled air in the crawl space.

A crawlspace was not properly insulated in Rochester, IL, and moisture was seeping into it, creating more problems. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were first installed. This features a radiant barrier infused with graphite, so the heat is reflected into the crawlspace, saving energy. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. These systems will keep this crawlspace dry and healthy for years to come!

Before this crawl space was dirty and had insulation that was falling. With the help of Team Woods, this crawl space was clean and sealed with a CleanSpace vapor barrier. This inorganic barrier will keep out harmful outer elements that damage the crawl space. 

This homeowner in West Frankfort, IL, had issues with their crawlspace support beams sagging, so to fix this, the SmartJack system was installed to keep the crawlspace supported. This prevents the floor above from potentially failing, and keeps the crawlspace sturdy for years to come.

This Sherman, Illinois homeowner was having some issues with moisture in his crawl space. He was worried about mold growth and structural issues, so he elected to call the experts at Woods Basement Systems for help. Among other things, a Woods team installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the crawl space. This inorganic material totally seals the crawl space away from moisture and prevents mold growth. They also installed an UltraSump sump pump to remove all water present on either side of the vapor barrier and to protect from possible plumbing leaks. Look at that difference!
