Before & After Photos

Water had wreaked havoc on the basement of Barbara G.'s Festus basement over the years. The walls were water stained and damaged and mold had left its mark along the stone bricks. Barbara was fed up with dealing with the water every time it rained so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed over the dingy walls. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic vapor barrier that prevents moisture from the foundation walls from entering the basement. It directs the encroaching water down to the drainage system. CleanSpace gives the basement a brighter and cleaner appearance, as well.

Dana D. of Festus, Missouri had water damage due to large cracks in her basement, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Thomas W. recommended installing a Twin Pack sump pump, CleanSpace, and WaterGuard. 

Foreman, Greg H. installed the products. The Twin Pack sump pump keeps your home dry from leaks and flooding with its two stainless steel pumps. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier made of inorganic materials used to seal off a basement form moisture. It works to collect water that seeps through the basement walls. WaterGuard is installed below the CleanSpace in the basement floor. It takes the collected water and guides it to the sump pump to be pumped out of the home. 

Now Dana D. has a dry basement. 

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.
