A lot of homeowners overlook their crawlspace beneath their home. Figuring the area is fine as is after construction of the home. However, an untreated crawlspace can lead to major issues down the line. Moisture and open air can lead to mold or weaking of the insulation within the space. That's why homeowners should consider encapsulating their crawlspace, which keeps the area dry and healthy. This homeowner in O'Fallon, Illinois chose Woods to encapsulate their crawlspace because they were worried about water and outside air entering the space and creating mold. We provided them with the best products for crawlspace repair including our sump pump system and water barrier liner. Now they have no need to worry about water entering the space or creating mold beneath their feet.

Wet Crawlspace

Having a wet crawlspace can lead to major issues, mold can grow right beneath your feet and spread. By encapsulating the space instead you can protect both from water and the potential of mold growth.

Water Barrier Linerq

Our water barrier liner is built to keep water completely out of the crawlspace, instead redirecting it to the sump pump and eventually out of your home entirely. Helping ensure the space remains dry.

Sump Pump

Having a sump pump installed in your crawlspace will help ensure the space remains dry and healthy for years to come. The pump will collect the water and direct it out of your home.

Crawlspace Before Encapsulation

Prior to any encapsulation most crawlspaces are made up of dirt or rock floors, leaving open space unusable. But if the space is encapsulated the rock surface is covered with our water barrier liner, creating a dry and usable storage space for the homeowner.

Crawlspace Opening

To fully encapsulate your crawlspace you should ensure the entrance is sealed properly. Most construction uses wooden doors to block the entrance. However, wood panels are more susceptible to damage from weather or other elements. Woods an install a plastic cover that is more durable and built to survive in extreme conditions.

Insulation in Your Crawlspace

Moisture in your crawlspace can also cause the insulation in-between the floor joists above to loosen and fall out of place. Leading to cold floors in the Winter or hot rooms in the Summer.
