Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A crawlspace was becoming unstable in O'Fallon, IL, and moisture was seeping into it. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans.

Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will isolate the crawlspace from the ground. It also controls water, humidity, outside air infiltration, and heat loss. The white finish will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain stable and dry for years to come!

Christopher M is having some problems with water getting in the crawlspace with no way to get out. Downspout extensions have already been installed, but he is unsure of what steps to take next. 

Michael R and his crew installed a CleanSpace Liner in the crawlspace. This will keep it clean, and seal it off from the outside dirt. A SmartPipe system was also installed to drain out unwanted water away from the space. Lastly, a SmartSump was installed to pump the unwanted water away from the space. Christopher can now have peace of mind now that his crawlspace is clean and dry!

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.

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.

Carol L., O'Fallon, Illinois homeowner, was troubled by her musty, moldy basement. The mold was a health hazard. System design specialist Brandon B. designed a solution to restore the crawl space.

Foreman Josh B. installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier so it does not support mold growth as it prevents water from entering the crawl space. To further prevent mold growth, SaniDry was installed. SaniDry is an energy efficient dehumidifier.

Carol is pleased to know her crawl space is dry and will stay dry.
