Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Buncombe, Illinois
Concerned about moisture beneath his home, Carl turned to Woods Basement Systems for a crawl space encapsulation solution designed to create a cleaner, drier environment. Excess moisture in a crawl space can contribute to musty odors, mold growth, wood deterioration, and increased humidity throughout the home. To help address these risks, our team installed a durable water barrier liner across the crawl space floor and foundation walls to help limit ground moisture from entering the space.
To further protect Carl’s home, Woods installed a smart sump pump system to collect and remove unwanted groundwater and a dehumidifier to help control humidity levels. These components work together to manage both standing water and excess moisture in the air, creating a more controlled crawl space environment. With this crawl space encapsulation project in Buncombe, Illinois, Carl now has a comprehensive moisture management solution designed to help protect his home’s structural components, improve indoor comfort, and support better temperature control throughout the house.

Moisture in the Crawlspace
This homeowner was dealing with a wet crawlspace full of moisture, which is the opposite of healthy for the space.
Opening in a Crawlspace
To successfully encapsulate a crawlspace you must ensure it's sealed off from the open air. This mainly prevents moisture from taking over or cold temperatures from reaching the interior of your home.
Water Barrier Liner
Our water barrier liner prevents leaks and water from reaching the open air of the crawlspace, which creates moisture. Instead the barrier redirects the water to the in-ground smart sump pump system.
Dehumidifier
The dehumidifier consistently runs to remove moisture from the air of the crawlspace. Keeping it dry and healthy long after installation.
Smart Sump System
The smart sump system collects water from underneath the barrier liner and the moisture collected by the dehumidifier. This keeps the crawlspace dry and protected from harm.
