Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A crawl space in Belleville, IL needed a crawl space makeover. Crawl spaces often get ignored, but they do have an effect on the air you breathe in your home. The humid air in the crawl space rises to the living spaces. The homeowner reached out to Woods and we had a solution. Our CleanSpace™ System controls moisture and keeps pests out. With this in place, the air will be healthy and the space clean! 

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!

Doing a complete basement waterproofing drainage system means installing WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement.  Going around hot water heaters and under stair steps are common obstacles.  We carefully remove a section of the basement floor along the wall which means going under basement stairs sometimes.  Then the waterproofing drainage is installed that takes the water flooding the basement to a sump pump.  The concrete floor that was removed is then replaced in the basement.

Some of the concrete stair slabs weren't leveled so Foremen Dave Gass and Jeff Bosick installed PolyLEVEL to help raise the fallen slabs and level out the concrete stairs.
