Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A knee wall space is created when a finished room is built within a sloped roof. Often, these walls are “insulated” using fiberglass batting. Since fiberglass does not stop air flow, the insulation does next to nothing to air seal and insulate----causing rooms sharing walls with knee walls to be very uncomfortable. Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis air sealed and insulated this O'Fallon, IL homeowner’s knee wall with SilverGlow insulation. Now, inside air can’t get out of the house through the knee wall spaces and outside air can’t get in. This bedroom is comfortable again!  

A dirt crawl space under a home can lead to unending problems. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love the damp environment as well. The Clean Space encapsulation system completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air which, when combined with sealing outside air and dehumidification, will eliminate mold growth and rot from your crawl space and make the whole house a healthier environment.

Brandon M., O'Fallon, Illinois homeowner, was distraught by the mold growing in his basement. Water had leaked into his basement and provided the perfect environment for mold growth.

As part of system design specialist TJ J.'s solution, foreman Ryan L. installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace guides water to the newly installed WaterGuard. It keeps the humidity in the basement low, preventing mold.

Michelle O. of O’Fallon, IL had a moisture and humidity problem in her crawl space. High humidity and repeated water intrusion was rotting her wooden floor joists and rusting the metal pipes that ran through her crawl space. The flimsy plastic liner she had in the space bunched and did nothing to prevent moisture from getting into the crawl space so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.

Woods installed CleanSpace over the foundation walls, columns and floors of the crawlspace. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick, durable plastic moisture barrier. It prevents moisture from entering the crawl space to keep it dry and usable. It’s mold resistant and maximizes available light within the crawlspace due to its bright white color.
