Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A knee wall space is created when a finished room is built within a sloped roof. Often, these walls are “insulated” using fiberglass batting. Since fiberglass does not stop air flow, the insulation does next to nothing to air seal and insulate----causing rooms sharing walls with knee walls to be very uncomfortable. Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis air sealed and insulated this O'Fallon, IL homeowner’s knee wall with SilverGlow insulation. Now, inside air can’t get out of the house through the knee wall spaces and outside air can’t get in. This bedroom is comfortable again!  

A dirt crawl space under a home can lead to unending problems. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love the damp environment as well. The Clean Space encapsulation system completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air which, when combined with sealing outside air and dehumidification, will eliminate mold growth and rot from your crawl space and make the whole house a healthier environment.

While the drain system underneath the Clean Space connected to the smart drain will pump out any water underneath.

Don W is having some problems with his crawlspace. Moisture is coming into the space, allowing mold to grow and creating a musty smell that is spreading throughout the house. Also, water is getting in.

Deshawn A and his crew installed a CleanSpace Liner in the crawlspace to separate it from the earth, and to prevent water vapor from getting in, keeping the space dry. A SmartSump was also installed to pump away any water that does get in the crawlspace. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to dehumidify the air, keeping it dry. Don can now breathe in fresh dry air now that his crawlspace is dry!

A homeowner in Troy, Illinois had a dirty, musty crawl space that need to be repaired, so they called Woods Basement Systems. Upon further inspection, systems design specialist, John S. recommended installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system to fix this crawl space.

Now this homeowner will have a clean, healthy crawl space.
