Even though he had a plastic liner in there, it did was flimsy and did nothing to keep water out of the space. The standing water from the leaks made the crawl space very humid which was rotting the wood floor joists and rusting pipes and ductwork that ran through the space. He couldn’t use the space for storage and was worried about the damage caused by the amount of moisture in the crawl space so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.

Woods installed CleanSpace along the foundation walls and dirt floors in the crawl space. Unlike the flimsy, 6 mil thick liners that bunch and rip, CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that is secured in place to form an airtight seal and prevent moisture as well as outside air and pests from entering the space. It directs moisture to the drainage system below. It’s also treated with an anti-microbial finish that prevents mold and mildew growth on or under the liner.

The SmartSump contains a powerful cast-iron pump and features a lid that was designed to form an airtight seal with the CleanSpace liner. It also has a WaterWatch alarm to alert the homeowners of possible plumbing leaks within the encapsulated crawl space.

An IceGuard was installed on the discharge line on the exterior of the crawl space. If the line becomes frozen or blocked by snow during the winter, the IceGuard has slotted openings to allow trapped water to escape to the yard and not back up into the basement.

Design Specialist Greg B inspected the inside and outside of the home and found the perfect solution for Rod.

Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall anchors along the walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls using steel wall plates connected through the wall to galvanized steel earth anchors by an anchor rod. They are tightened to ensure the wall won’t move or bow any further and in most cases, can straighten the walls. In an area where the outside of the foundation wall was inaccessible, they installed a PowerBrace. PowerBraces are heavy-duty steel beams that are fit against the wall and held in place by steel brackets attached to the cement floor and wooden floor joists. They prevent the wall from moving in any further and because they are adjustable, they can be tightened over time for the opportunity to straighten the wall.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement, under the concrete floors. It’s a drainage system that sits on top of the concrete footing of the foundation so it is out of the way of any mud that may clog it. It collects water coming in through the walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump.

A Twin Pack sump pump system was installed. It contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps, a primary and secondary, to ensure that if one pump fails or can’t keep up with all the water coming in, the other pump will keep unwanted water pumping out of the basement through the discharge lines. On the discharge lines, IceGuards were installed. It’s slotted openings allows trapped water in discharges lines that have become frozen or clogged to flow out into the yard, rather than run back into the basement.

Rod Z. is happy to know his foundation walls are permanently stabilized and his basement will stay dry even in severe weather.

This Decatur, IL business owner was getting tired of his old, dirt crawlspace and how it was easily accessible for unwanted water and animals to enter. He contacted Woods Basement Systems for his free estimate and found that a CleanSpace encapsulation system is exactly what he needs. This 20-mil-thick material that covers the dirt crawlspace creates a barrier from the outside environment and reduces humidity levels. With the addition of our SmartSump sump pump and SaniDry CX dehumidifier the crawlspace is guaranteed to stay dry.

Many homeowners with crawlspaces tend to forget about them and don't do anything with them, but an unprotected crawlspace can have an impact on the entire home. Dirt crawl spaces are easily accessible to animals and aren't well protected against water. Mold can often form because of this, leaving behind a pungent smell that can loft into the interior of a home.

Jason P. of Decatur, IL knew this, so he contacted Woods Basement Systems. Our team members were able to convert his old, dirt crawlspace into a clean, dry crawlspace suitable to store personal belongings in.

First our SmartPipe was installed to direct any water that may try to enter into our SmartSump sump pump. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier was then installed to separate the crawl spice from the outside environment. Now Jason's Decatur home has a clean, dry, and usable crawlspace for years to come.

Foundation settlement is a common issue among older homes and buildings.  Some common indicators of foundation problems are cracks extending from doors and windows, windows coming out of their square, and stair-step cracking.  It is important to get the problem solved rather than putting it off because the settlement will only get worse over time.  As the foundation problem does get worse, it’s going to cost more to fix it.

A homeowner in Decatur, IL was in the process of putting his house on the market when he noticed moisture and water in his crawl space.  He had been living in his home for 23 years and wanted to get the problem solved as soon as possible.  His biggest concern was selling his house and doing whatever needed to be done to make that happen.

Woods Basement Systems came out to inspect his crawl space and found inches of standing water.  In order to eliminate humidity, odors, and mold in the crawl space, Woods decided to install CleanSpace, SmartPipe, and a SuperSump.  The CleanSpace system kept the crawl space clean and dry, while the SmartPipe and SuperSump pumped water out and away from the home.
