The crawl space of Don M.’s Rochester, IL home was damp. He couldn’t use it for storage without fear of water damage so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.

As part of that system, Woods secured CleanSpace along the floors and part of the walls in the crawl space. CleanSpace is a thick and durable plastic moisture barrier that prevents ground water from entering the crawl space, making it safe for storage.

Don M. was having trouble keeping his Rochester, IL home comfortable. He had drafts coming into his home from the crawlspace. His energy bills were high from needing to run his air conditioning and heating much longer to get less change in the temperature of his home so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended insulating and encapsulating his crawl space.

Woods installed SilverGlo over the foundation walls and rim joists in the crawl space. SilverGlo is a graphite-infused rigid foam insulation that has a reflective surface to create a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into the crawl space. SilverGlo is waterproof and mold-resistant so it also prevents moisture from entering into the crawl space through the foundation walls. It seals drafts out and heated and cooled air in the crawl space.

A crawlspace was not properly insulated in Rochester, IL, and moisture was seeping into it, creating more problems. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were 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. These systems will keep this crawlspace dry and healthy for years to come!

Fast and Effective Concrete Lifting and Leveling

The major flaw of concrete is that the ground that it was poured on top of will inevitably shift and sink over time. In the states of Illinois and Missouri sinking concrete is all too common which is why our company has gone to great lengths to develop fast and effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions. PolyLevel is a revolutionary product that is minimally invasive and not only lifts and levels concrete but also stabilizes it.

How PolyLevel works:

  1. The concrete lifting and leveling process begins with a few small holes drilled in the slab.
  2. Then the PolyLevel polymer is injected into the holes and expands to provide an accurate lift.
  3. After only about 15 minutes the polymer is dry and the concrete is ready to be walked and even driven on.

This concrete lifting and leveling technique is faster, less disruptive, and arguably more effective than mud jacking, which is the standard that PolyLevel replaces. We even offer SealantPro concrete sealing, which extends slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application. This concrete sealing system is resistant to moisture, oil, UV rays, abrasions, and more.

To remove tripping hazards, stabilize concrete, and lift it back to a level height nothing is faster or more effective than PolyLevel concrete leveling. After, our concrete sealing system will preserve your slabs for a lifetime. To schedule a FREE concrete lifting and leveling or concrete sealing estimate, contact us today!

We can Fix: 
  • Sunken sidewalks
  • Sagging steps
  • Uneven patios
  • Sinking driveways

Crawl Space Insulated and Encapsulated in Rochester, IL

Don M. of Rochester, IL had a damp crawl space that was unusable for storage without fear of water damage. His crawl space also wasn’t insulated which had allowed cold drafts to get into the home and made it harder to keep the home comfortable due the heating and cooling ductwork running through the space and being exposed to warm temperatures during the summer and cold temperatures during the winter so he called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Brandon B. inspected the crawl space and recommended an encapsulation system as well as crawl space insulation.

Woods installed SilverGlo over the foundation walls and rim joists in the crawl space. SilverGlo is a rigid foam insulation that is infused with graphite powder to improve the insulating value. They have a reflective coating that creates a radiant barrier to reflect heat back into the space. SilverGlo forms an air barrier over the foundation walls to make the home more energy efficient. It’s waterproof and won’t become damaged by mold so it is effective at preventing moisture from entering the crawl space through the foundation walls.

CleanSpace was installed over the dirt floors of the crawl space and sealed against the SilverGlo. CleanSpace is is a thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that prevents moisture from entering the crawl space through the dirt floors to keep the crawl space safe for storage.

Drainage matting was installed underneath the CleanSpace. Its dimpled design creates channels for standing water under the encapsulation system to disperse.

Don M. has peace of mind that he can use his crawl space for storage without fear of water damage and his insulation will end up saving him money on his energy bills.

CleanSpace installed in Rochester, IL

Casey T. of Rochester, IL wanted to use his crawlspace for storage but there was was a problem. Water seeped in through the foundation walls of the crawlspace and turned the dirt floors into a muddy mess making it completely unusable. Casey called Woods Basements Systems for a free assessment. Design Specialist Nolan M. inspected the crawlspace and recommended installing an encapsulation system.

Woods encapsulated the crawlspace using CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic liner that prevents water from entering the crawlspace. Drainage Matting was installed under the CleanSpace over the dirt floors. It’s dimpled so it provides channels for standing water in the crawlspace to disperse out of the crawlspace.

A SmartDrain was installed in the crawlspace and seamlessly with the CleanSpace vapor barrier. If there is ever a plumbing leak into the encapsulated crawlspace, the SmartDrain will collect the water to be drained into a bed of gravel where it will flow into a dry well and seep into the soil below. The SmartDrain is also equipped with a WaterWatch alarm system so if water is detected entering the drain, the homeowner will know there’s an issue before it becomes an even bigger problem.

Casey T. is happy he can now store his belongings in his crawlspace without worries.

Sump Pump Installed in Rochester, IL

Bill G. in Rochester, IL was having flooding issues in his basement. Bill was concerned that his property would be damaged if the flooding continued. Woods Basement Systems provided a efficient solution for the space.

The discharge line can become clogged or frozen. To prevent the water from receding back into the basement, Woods installed IceGuard to provide an escape route for the water.
