Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Janice E., Philo, Illinois homeowner, was troubled by her wet crawl space. The wet envrionment caused mold and dust mites to thrive. Due to the stack effect, these allergens entered her living space. System design specialist Greg B. designed a solution to keep her crawl space dry.

Foreman James L. installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier, so it does not support mold growth as it prevents water from entering the crawlspace. With this system, Janice's crawl space will stay dry and mold-free.

Water kept getting into Janice E.’s crawl space of her Philo, IL home. It leaked into the crawlspace through the cement block foundation walls and made her crawl space completely unusable so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended encapsulating her crawl space.

CleanSpace was installed as part of the encapsulation system. It is a durable, thick plastic moisture barrier that is installed over the foundation walls and gravel floors of the crawl space. It prevents moisture from entering the crawlspace, instead directing it down to the perimeter drainage system. It contains an additive called UltraFresh that makes it mold resistant. It’s bright white so, besides giving the crawl space a much cleaner appearance, it maximizes available light.

Homeowners Jim and Robin F. of Grayville, Illinois needed a solution for their damp, dirty crawl space. Over the years, the space had become a mess, sending unwanted smells into their home above. After consulting a neighbor, they made a call to Woods Basement Systems. Foreman Jesse C. and his team were able to encapsulate the crawl space using our CleanSpace liner. This transformed the crawl space into a dry, bright usable area beneath their home.

Homeowners in Rantoul, IL had moisture in their crawl space and needed it sealed.  Woods Basement Systems installed the CleanSpace Basement Wall System and SmartSump into their crawl space.  CleanSpace provides a vapor barrier for the walls and floor around the crawl space to drain wall leaks and stop the water vapor from permeating the walls.  The barrier also adds a clean and bright atmosphere to the crawl space.  SmartSump is a drainage system that the water is directed to and pumps the water out of the home.  The homeowners were happy with their sealed, clean, and dry crawl space for years to come!

An unprotected crawlspace is a serious issue that can affect the health and comfort of your entire home. Damp crawlspaces allow moldy air to circulate throughout the house, and encourage mold growth to spread upward. Leaving a crawlspace unprotected will also let cold air seep into living spaces. Encapsulating your crawlspace helps prevent these problems, creating a safer, healthier indoor environment. At Woods, our team provides a reliable pump and encapsulation system designed to keep your crawlspace dry and protect your home for years to come.
