Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Stabilized and Encapsulated in Herrin, IL

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Herrin, IL, and the support blocks were failing. To solve these issues, Woods first installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This liner completely isolates the crawlspace from the earth. This dramatically reduces the air's humidity level, eliminating mold growth and rot from the crawlspace and making the whole house healthier. The bright white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allows one to easily see that the crawlspace is free of mold, insects, and dirt. Next, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the sump system, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. The SmartJack System was also installed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. These will lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. Next, a vent cover was installed. This airtight cover will stop letting uncontrolled air in, helping control the indoor environment. Lastly, The Turtl was installed at the crawlspace entrance. This access system will not rot and has an airtight seal to prevent moisture and debris from entering the crawlspace. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
