Before & After Photos

Insulation in a crawlspace was failing in Swansea, IL, and water was seeping into it. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation was first installed. This features a radiant barrier infused with graphite, so the heat is reflected into the crawlspace, saving energy. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. This crawlspace will now remain efficient and healthy for years to come!

A crawlspace in Swansea, Illinois, needed to be encapsulated. The homeowners were concerned that humidity and cool air from the unsealed crawlspace were seeping up into the home. Woods came out and installed the CleanSpace System to address the issue. This system consists of a highly durable sheet of material that is placed directly on the walls and ground of the crawlspace. Not only does this help with the humidity, but this seal will also protect the crawlspace from rot, insects, and the outside elements. In addition to this, CleanSpace also brightens up the crawlspace, reflecting any available light back inwards. With this installation in place, this crawlspace will be sealed and protected for many years to come.

Too much water in a crawl space can cause floor joists to sag.  After taking care of the water problem in this Belleville crawl space with CleanSpace®, our SmartJack® structural support columns helped adjust the flooring back to a more level position.  If further adjustments are necessary in the future, the SmartJack® system makes these adjustments easily!

This home in Belleville, IL. was vulnerable to damaging hazards such as water, mold and rodents thanks to its dirt crawlspace. The dirt floor of the crawlspace would no block water or mold spores from rising into the home and offered burrowing critters like mice a free entrance into the underside of the home. 

To protect the home from these hazards, homeowner Kathy L. hired Woods Basement Systems to install their CleanSpace™ system. CleanSpace™ is a waterproof, anti-microbial barrier that protects the crawlspace from outside hazards like mold. Once CleanSpace™ is installed, the crawlspace can be insullated to help make the entire home more energy efficient. 

Homeowner Kathy L. won't have to give her crawlspace a second thought now that it is cleaned and protected with CleanSpace™.

Cobwebs, mold, high utility bills... oh my!  These are problems that Woods Basement Systems finds time and again in dark, damp crawl spaces.  Many homeowners do not regularly look inside their crawl space - what they find there might surprise them.  But damp, moldy smells that penetrate the living space above can be a sign that moisture and water is present,  creating a perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow.

CleanSpace helps to control all of these problems... oh yes!  Woods Basement Systems is part of the International network of crawl space repair experts, through the Basement Systems, Inc. network of dealers.  As such, they have access to the award-winning CleanSpace Vapor Barrier - a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with polyester-cord reinforcement, treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth.  This liner significantly outperforms thin and easy-to-tear 6 mil liners that are more common.   You can rest assured that with a CleanSpace vapor barrier installed, mold and cobwebs will not be growing down there anymore!
