Removing Water Vapor in the Air

This incapsulated crawlspace in Carbondale, IL. still had damp, damaging air. The water vapor in the air could still condense on surfaces inside the vapor barrier where it could degrade the wood or feed mold spores that might already be there. 

 

The Sedona air dehumidifier would eliminate this problem easily. The Sedona is a powerful dehumidifier that can remove up to 100 pints of water from the air in a single day. This water is dumped directly into the sump pump so that it can be removed from the crawlspace. Additionally, the Sedona will filter the air, removing mold spores as it removes water vapor, which leads to cleaner air and a cleaner, drier crawlspace.

 

With the Sedona installed inside this incapsulated crawlspace, the air will be drier, cleaner and safer for the home above it.

Bowing, Cracking Carbondale, IL Foundation Walls Supported With GeoLock

Carbondale, Illinois resident Curt W. was nervous about the state of several of his basement walls. Over the years, they had become riddled with large cracks and had begun to bow inward slightly. This damage made Curt worry that, if left unaddressed, they might collapse. He wanted to have the problem taken care of quickly and professionally, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

In order to secure the damaged walls, foreman Miguel and his team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil far from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the damaged walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.

PolyLEVEL on Uneven Garage, Driveway, and Entrance at Carbondale, IL Home

David, a Carbondale, Illinois homeowner, saw that the front entry way of his home, as well as the concrete driveway was unlevel. This lowered curb appeal and presented a safety hazard. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Barry C. developed the perfect plan for David. 

Foreman Andrew T. and his crew installed PolyLEVEL under the concrete to raise it back to the original position. PolyLEVEL is a perfect solution because it is light weight but extremely sturdy.

CleanSpace Installation in Carbondale, IL

System design specialist, Jacob K. did an inspection on the home and created a design to resolve the issue. Foreman, Joshua B. did a Cleanspace Encapsulation System installation. The moldy smell is likely due to the mold spores moving into the upper level of the home from the dirt crawlspace. A dirt crawlspace causes a high humidity level which leads to water vapor moving into the upper level as the home. The dampness in the crawlspace also causes mold to reproduce. The Cleanspace consists of a 7-layer liner material that is ran across the floor and up the walls to stop water vapor from coming in. 

Jennifer K. now has a bright, clean, and healthy crawlspace.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Permanently Stabilize Foundation Walls in Carbondale, IL

Henry was worried about the safety of the walls so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free inspection. Design Specialist Brandon B. assessed the foundation walls and recommended a wall support system.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked, bowing walls. External soil conditions put pressure on foundation walls and cause damage like what was happening in Henry’s basement. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract that pressure by connecting wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls to earth anchors embedded in more stable soil in the yard with galvanized steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize the walls in place and can even straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry periods.

Henry L. is relieved that his foundation walls are safe and secure and he doesn’t have to worry about them failing.

She was worried that if she left them any longer, the walls would fail so she called Woods Basement Systems.

Along one wall of the basement, Geo Lock Wall Anchors were installed. Geo Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls by driving a galvanized anchor rod through the wall and connecting it to an earth anchor that’s buried in the yard. The anchor rod is attached on the inside of the wall to a steel wall plate and then tightened to ensure the wall is held in place and not bow or tilt and further. Geo Lock Wall Anchors can also straighten foundation walls in most cases.

PowerBraces were installed on the other bowing wall in Marjorie’s basement. PowerBraces are used in place of GeoLock Wall Anchors when the yard outside of the wall is inaccessible. PowerBraces reinforce and stabilize bowing walls using corrosion resistant steel beams that are custom fit to the basement walls and attached using steel brackets to the floor joists and concrete floor to hold the wall in place and prevent any further bowing. PowerBraces can also be tightened during dry periods for possible wall improvement.

Marjorie now has the peace of mind that her walls are permanently stabilized and reinforced and she doesn’t have to worry about the bowing any more.

SmartJack Installation in Vergennes, IL

A resident of Vergennes, IL had been living in her house since 1970.  For the past 2 years, she noticed that the cracks in her walls and exterior brick had been getting worse.  She was concerned about the issue and wanted to get it fixed before the cracks became wider and the problem worsened.

The homeowner had previously called another basement company, but she decided not to go through with the project because she didn’t trust them.  However, that was not the case when Woods Basement Systems sent out a crew to inspect the house.  The homeowner was very impressed with the professionalism and quality of work done by Woods.

Woods installed a SmartJack system in her crawl space, resulting in lifting the home back toward its original position.  The SmartJack Reinforcement System was installed in less than one day, and the resident was highly satisfied with the ending result.
