Before & After Photos

Katherine M’s crawlspace is wet after rainwater got in, and she would like a sump pump installed to get the water out. She also wants her space sealed from the outside so that no water can get in the first place. Foreman Michael R and his crew installed a Smart Sump system that will pump out water that gets in the space. A CleanSpace liner was also installed to not only seal the space from the earth but to give a clean finished look to the crawlspace. This will also stop water vapor from entering and will keep the space dry. Katherine can now rest assured knowing that her crawlspace will stay dry!

Most homeowners seldom enter or use their crawlspaces. Unfortunately, just because they ignore the crawlspace doesn't mean the crawlspace doesn't have an impact on the health of the home.

Water vapor that rises through the unprotected floor of the crawlspace can support mold growth and rot, which can damage the floors that run above the crawlspace. Additionally, because air flows upwards through a house, the smells from mold, mud and critters that get into the crawlspace rises through the rest of the home. 

To prevent these problems, Cory A. installed CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is a tough, waterproof liner like a pool liner that incapsulates the crawlspace to prevent water, water vapor and even critters from entering the crawlspace. The tear-proof inside of the liner means that things can be stored in the crawlspace without worrying about them ripping the liner and reducing its effectiveness. On the back of CleanSpace™ is an anti-microbial layer that will block mold growth to help keep the crawlspace protected.

Any water that builds up beneath the CleanSpace™ vapor barrier is directed to a TripleSafe™ sump pump so it can be pumped out of the home. Additionally, a Sedona dehumidifier is installed to dry the air and help filter out mold spores.

Because the crawlspace is now protected from mold, critters and water vapor, more insulation can be installed. In this basement, a foam insulation is sprayed against the gaps between the floor joists to help seal in the comfortable air and keep out the uncomfortable air.

This crawlspace is healthier and will help to improve the health of the home above it. Not only is the home more protected from water damage and mold growth, but it will also be more energy efficient but sealing the crawlspace and keeping unconditioned air out of the home.

Laurie O., Ballwin, Missouri resident, was frustrated with her wet, musty crawl space. The wet crawl space was breeding grounds for mold and dust mites.

Thanks to the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, Laurie's crawl space is now dry and free of mold and rotting.

This homeowner was concerned about leaks and moisture coming in through cracks in his basement walls. System Design Specialist Brendon K. recommended CleanSpace vapor barriers to address the issue. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that seals out moisture as well as harmful microbial growth.

Foreman Greg H. and his team installed CleanSpace in the homeowner's basement. Now they no longer have to worry about unwated leaks or moisture in their home. 

Trish M. of Ballwin, Missouri had water leaking into her basement, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Brenton K. recommended installing a Twin Pack sump pump, CleanSpace, and WaterGuard. 

Foreman, Greg H. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump is guaranteed to keep your home dry with its three-in-one system that includes a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is made of inorganic materials, so it is not susceptible to mold growth. It is used to collect water that can drain through basement walls. Then the water goes to the WaterGuard which is a perimeter drainage system located below the CleanSpace. It will take the collected water and guide it to the sump pump to be fully removed from the home. 

Now Trish M. has a watertight basement.
