Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in East Saint Louis, IL, causing several issues. The environment was becoming damp, a musty smell was spreading into the house, and mold was beginning to grow. The support posts were also rotting, causing the beams to shift. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first 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. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

Five Brothers Company of Fairmount City, Illinois had cracks in their walls which led to water leaking in, so they decided to call Woods basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Joshua H. recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace, and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Melvin F. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump is guaranteed to keep any home or business dry with its three-in-one design. it comes with a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump for triple protection. CleanSpace is used to collect water that seeps into a basement to guide it to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard then takes that water and transfers it to the sump pump where it can be removed from the building.

Now Five Brothers can run their business smoothly. 

The support blocks in a crawlspace in East Saint Louis, IL were failing, as they were shifting and becoming unstable. The liner was also not keeping the moisture out of the crawlspace, creating a damp and musty environment. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers in the crawlspace. 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, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all. 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!

Before this crawl space had fiberglass insulation that was falling and no longer served its purpose. Team Woods solved this issue by installing spray foam to replace the fiberglass insulation. With spray foam, now this crawl space will keep temperature and serve as insulation to the rest of the house.
