Before & After Photos

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Festus, MO, and moisture was entering it as well. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans. 

Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This prevents moisture by encapsulating the crawlspace with a vapor barrier, closing the vents, and conditioning the space to make a healthier environment. This crawlspace will now remain stable and dry for years to come thanks to these systems!

A dirt crawlspace in Arnold, Missouri once suffered from excessive moisture. Woods Basement Systems sealed this crawlspace with a vapor barrier designed to help better preserve the home while controlling mold spores traveling from the ground up.

BEFORE: The drain tile system in this Danville, Illinois crawlspace was completely clogged and buried, eventually causing mold and water issues for the homeowners.

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems installed the SmartPipe waterproofing system and CleanSpace vapor barrier to capture the water resulting in a crawlspace free of dirt, moisture, mold and unpleasant, unhealthy air.

A crawlspace in Arnold, Missouri needed some stabilization and sealing. The current supports were starting to fail, and the crawlspace was dirty and leaking cold air up into the home. To address these issues, Woods first installed the CleanSpace System. This consists of a durable sheet of material that is placed on the ground and walls. It effectively seals off the ground from the home above it. To fix the stabilization issue, Woods installed the SmartJack System. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. Thanks to these additions, this crawlspace will stay clean and well-supported for years to come.

In Bluffs, Illinois homeowner Julie B. was having problems with rainwater entering his basement. Water was leaking through cracks in his foundation walls down to the floor. To brighten and stop the water from leaking onto the floor, our team installed our CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace is used in basements and crawl spaces. The liner is thick and durable, keeping the water out of the home and reducing moisture.
