Before & After Photos

These homeowners wanted to protect their crawlspace from the elements. They met with System Design Specialist Kris H. from Woods Basement Systems, who designed a custom-tailored solution to solve their waterproofing problems.

Team Woods installed a CleanSpace liner to keep the crawlspace safe from water damage and make it more energy-efficient. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that traps out moisture as well as potentially harmful microbial growth.

A basement half-wall in Clay City, IL was becoming damp, causing mold to appear. The sump system was also not pumping out the water as it should. To solve these issues, Woods installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the TripleSafe Sump System, which was also installed to pump the water away from the house. This advanced sump pump system will remain working even if there is no power to the house, thanks to the UltraSump battery backup pumping system. Lastly, a CleanSpace Liner was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the walls and drain any leaks that come down to WaterGuard. This basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!

This Windsor, Illinois crawl space had issues with leaking and had water pooling in portions of the space, causing the homeowners to worry about mold growth and air quality issues. Woods Basement Systems installed several products to waterproof the space, including a CleanSpace encapsulation system. This inorganic material seals out the elements and moisture and prevents any sort of mold growth. 

A crawlspace in Windsor, Illinois, needed to be sealed along with showing signs of a failing foundation. To address these issues, Woods first installed the CleanSpace system. A highly durable and inorganic sheet is placed directly on the ground and walls, effectively sealing the earth from the home above it. This will not only help with heating and cooling costs of the home, but also prevent rot, water seepage, and insect intrusion. Woods also installed the SmartJack System. Galvanized steel columns are custom cut and set in a solid base of engineered fill, effectively stabilizing the crawl space beams and support joists. Thanks to these installs, this crawlspace will remain sealed and well-supported for many years to come.

A crawlspace liner had deteriorated in Lovington, IL, causing moisture to seep into the crawlspace. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was 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. This crawlspace will now stay dry for years to come!
