Before & After Photos

Floors were sloping in Chatham, IL, due to the lack of support in the crawlspace. To solve this issue, 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. This crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A crawlspace in Chatham, Illinois was letting cold air and humidity seep into the upper levels of the home. To fix this issue, Woods sealed the crawlspace with the CleanSpace System. This system consists of a heavy 20 mil-thick-liner that seals off the ground from the home above. It is highly durable and tear-resistant, perfect for protecting against mold, water, and insects. Thanks to this install, this crawlspace will remain bright and sealed for many years to come.

BEFORE: This Staunton, Illinois crawl space used to experience high humidity due to the exposed dirt floor. (Moisture in a crawl space leads to mold and woodrot.)

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation—which now saves this home owner on energy costs and increases the home's comfort.

Homeowners in Pontoon Beach, Illinois found their crawl space wasted energy by increasing heating and cooling costs. Woods Basment Systems sealed the crawl space, protecting it from mold growth, rotting floors (due to humidity and mold), and odors—helping to preserve the property value and cut utility costs.

Plastic crawl space vapor barriers may block a lot of moister vapor from the dirt but it vents most of it at the perimeter where the plastic cover is open nearest the wall.  Over time, this causes the wood floor joist and sill plate at the perimeter to rot, commonly called dry rot.  This is due to the seasonal temperature changes and the abundant moisture released from beneath the plastic cover condensing on the wood, then drying, getting absorbed again, then drying, and getting wet another day, then drying...  Our CleanSpace® encapsulation system, like the one installed in this Murphysboro, Illinois crawl space, STOPS this problem, helps reduce radon levels, control mold and bugs, and lower energy costs.
