Before Encapsulation of Champaign, IL Crawl Space
This dirt crawl space was an uninsulated, debris-filled mess. Water leaks caused musty smells throughout the attached basement area and the rest of the home. There was even standing water in some areas.
After Encapsulation of Champaign, IL Crawl Space
A waterproofing system was installed including the SmartPipe around the interior perimeter and a SmartSump to collect unwanted water and pump it away from the home. Once the waterproofing system was installed, the SilverGlo wall insulation panels were attached to the walls and CleanSpace lined the entire area including the support posts. This crawl space is now completely encapsulated and insulated.

Exposed Sump Pump in Champaign, IL Crawl Space
This sump pump was not able to keep up with incoming water in this crawl space, which caused water to accumulate in many areas.
SmartSump Installed in Champaign, IL Crawl Space
Along with the entire encapsulation system, Wanda elected to have the SmartSump sump pump, designed specifically for crawl spaces, installed. Now her crawl space is protected from future water leaks and she no longer has to worry about poor air quality in her home.
Standing Water in Champaign, IL Crawl Space
Because this crawl space had no waterproofing system, water would leak in, run down the elevated area, and collect next to the foundation wall. This can be detrimental to the home's foundation as well as cause musty smells, poor air quality, and skyrocketed energy costs.
