Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Years of water damage had impacted the safety and cleanliness of this Fairview Heights, IL crawl space. To solve this issue, Team Woods covered the crawl space with a CleanSpace encapsulation system and stabilized the walls with Geo-Lock wall anchors. 

A crawlspace was not properly insulated in Fairview Heights, IL, and moisture was entering it as well. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation was first installed. This features a radiant barrier with graphite infused in it that reflects heat into the basement to save energy. 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 stay warm and dry all year round!

A homeowner wanted to improve the look of the entrance to the crawlspace because outside air and debris were entering it and causing issues. To solve this issue, two EverLast Systems were installed. First, an access well was installed. This is big enough to crouch down and enter the crawlspace. This durable system won’t rust, rot, corrode, or need paint. it also includes a lid that will keep debris out. Next, a new crawlspace door was installed. This is made completely of inorganic material that is waterproof and resistant to mold growth. It looks much better than deteriorating wood doors, and it will never rot, rust, or need paint.  Made of a half-inch-thick solid plastic with a special airtight foam seal, it's designed to seal off the crawlspace from the outside elements to protect your area from outside humidity and cold. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A crawlspace in Fairview Heights, IL, was struggling against the humidity, causing distress for the homeowner. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used. This highly durable liner keeps outside elements and humidity out. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest assured that their crawlspace will remain dry for years to come! 

Cobwebs, mold, high utility bills... oh my!  These are problems that Woods Basement Systems finds time and again in dark, damp crawl spaces.  Many homeowners do not regularly look inside their crawl space - what they find there might surprise them.  But damp, moldy smells that penetrate the living space above can be a sign that moisture and water is present,  creating a perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow.

CleanSpace helps to control all of these problems... oh yes!  Woods Basement Systems is part of the International network of crawl space repair experts, through the Basement Systems, Inc. network of dealers.  As such, they have access to the award-winning CleanSpace Vapor Barrier - a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with polyester-cord reinforcement, treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth.  This liner significantly outperforms thin and easy-to-tear 6 mil liners that are more common.   You can rest assured that with a CleanSpace vapor barrier installed, mold and cobwebs will not be growing down there anymore!
