Nasty Crawl Space in Decatur, IL

A homeowner in Decatur, IL was in the process of putting his house on the market when he noticed moisture and water in his crawl space.  He had been living in his home for 23 years and wanted to get the problem solved as soon as possible.  His biggest concern was selling his house and doing whatever needed to be done to make that happen.

Woods Basement Systems came out to inspect his crawl space and found inches of standing water.  In order to eliminate humidity, odors, and mold in the crawl space, Woods decided to install CleanSpace, SmartPipe, and a SuperSump.  The CleanSpace system kept the crawl space clean and dry, while the SmartPipe and SuperSump pumped water out and away from the home.

The resident was very pleased with the end result and greatly appreciated all the work done by Woods to restore the property value of his home.

Waterproofing System installed in Florissant, MO

Phyllis B. of Florissant, MO had water leaking into her basement and ruining her finished walls and soaking her carpet. She was tired of dealing with the mess so she called Woods Basement Systems to have a free estimate. Basement Design Specialist Cristoph H. inspected the basement and found the perfect solution for Phyllis.

Foreman Dillon L. removed that bottom half of the damaged finished walls and replaced them with the Everlast Wall Panelling System. Everlast Wall Panels are made of durable materials that are mold and moisture resistant and protect the wood-framed upper wall from future damage.

WaterGuard was installed along the basement walls, under the concrete floors, to collect water seeping in through the basement floors and walls and take it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump system was installed. It contains three pumps: a primary pump, a secondary pump and a battery back up pump. Each pump adds an extra level of protection from water flooding in and the battery back up pump ensures that system will keep pumping water out of the basement in a power outage. The TripleSafe pumps the water through a discharge line and out of the basement, away from the house. An IceGuard was installed on the discharge line to keep water being pumped out from coming back in if the discharge line becomes frozen or clogged.

A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed as well. The SaniDry dehumidifier keeps relative humidity low so  mold and mildew don’t grow and the basement air doesn’t smell musty.

Phyllis B. no longer worries about water damaging her finished basement.

Basement Stabilized and Waterproofed in Decatur, IL

Rod Z. of Decatur, IL had a surprising amount of water coming into his basement along cracks that had formed between his walls and floors, which was causing mold and mildew to grow. He also had large stair step cracks along the stone bricks of his foundation walls. He was worried these might be signs of larger problems so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Design Specialist Greg B inspected the inside and outside of the home and found the perfect solution for Rod.

Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall anchors along the walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls using steel wall plates connected through the wall to galvanized steel earth anchors by an anchor rod. They are tightened to ensure the wall won’t move or bow any further and in most cases, can straighten the walls. In an area where the outside of the foundation wall was inaccessible, they installed a PowerBrace. PowerBraces are heavy-duty steel beams that are fit against the wall and held in place by steel brackets attached to the cement floor and wooden floor joists. They prevent the wall from moving in any further and because they are adjustable, they can be tightened over time for the opportunity to straighten the wall.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement, under the concrete floors. It’s a drainage system that sits on top of the concrete footing of the foundation so it is out of the way of any mud that may clog it. It collects water coming in through the walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump.

A Twin Pack sump pump system was installed. It contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps, a primary and secondary, to ensure that if one pump fails or can’t keep up with all the water coming in, the other pump will keep unwanted water pumping out of the basement through the discharge lines. On the discharge lines, IceGuards were installed. It’s slotted openings allows trapped water in discharges lines that have become frozen or clogged to flow out into the yard, rather than run back into the basement.

Rod Z. is happy to know his foundation walls are permanently stabilized and his basement will stay dry even in severe weather.

Crawlspace Made Usable in Decatur, IL.

Dave K. of Decatur, IL had a major water problem in his crawlspace. Water was flooding into his crawlspace and had nowhere to go. The standing water was causing the wood beams in the crawlspace to rot and mold to grow along the walls. Dave was worried about the water damage and wanted to make his crawlspace a usable space so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. Design Specialist Kevin E. inspected the crawlspace and recommended crawlspace encapsulation.

 Over the walls and floors of the crawlspace, CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed. CleanSpace is a thick plastic liner that prevents moisture from entering into the crawlspace and gives the crawlspace a brighter and cleaner appearance. Drainage matting was installed along the dirt floors of the crawlspace underneath the CleanSpace. Drainage matting is dimpled which provides channels for standing water to disperse to the drainage system.

Along the perimeter of the crawlspace, SmartPipe was installed. SmartPipe is a drainage system designed for crawlspaces with dirt floors. It has rows of holes that are covered in filter fabric so it won’t become clogged with dirt or debris as it collects water from the floors and foundation walls of the crawlspace and drains it away to the sump pump for removal.

The TwinPack sump pump system was installed. The Twin Pack contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps that ensure that water is being pumped out of the crawlspace through its discharge lines, even in severe weather. On the exterior of the crawlspace, IceGuards were installed on the discharge lines. IceGuards have slotted openings to allow water to escape if the lines become frozen or clogged.

Within the crawlspace, the SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. The SaniDry prevents rot, mold growth and musty smells in the crawlspace by keeping the relative humidity low.

Dave K. is thrilled that his crawlspace is now usable and he can safely store his belongings.

Very Wet Crawl Space Encapsulated in Decatur, IL

Jason W. of Decatur, IL had a very wet crawl space. Water leaked into the crawl space and made the dirt floors a muddy mess. Even though he had a plastic liner in there, it did was flimsy and did nothing to keep water out of the space. The standing water from the leaks made the crawl space very humid which was rotting the wood floor joists and rusting pipes and ductwork that ran through the space. He couldn’t use the space for storage and was worried about the damage caused by the amount of moisture in the crawl space so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.

Woods installed CleanSpace along the foundation walls and dirt floors in the crawl space. Unlike the flimsy, 6 mil thick liners that bunch and rip, CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that is secured in place to form an airtight seal and prevent moisture as well as outside air and pests from entering the space. It directs moisture to the drainage system below. It’s also treated with an anti-microbial finish that prevents mold and mildew growth on or under the liner.

Drainage matting was installed under the CleanSpace liner. Its dimpled designed provides channels for standing water under the encapsulation system to disperse to the drainage system.

The SmartPipe drainage system was installed along the perimeter of the crawl space. SmartPipe has multiple rows of channel holes that are covered in a special filter fabric that prevents it from being clogged by mud or other debris as it collects water from the foundation walls and dirt floors and drains it to the sump pump.

The SmartSump was installed to accept the water from the SmartPipe and expel it safely away from the crawl space through its discharge line. The SmartSump contains a powerful cast-iron pump and features a lid that was designed to form an airtight seal with the CleanSpace liner. It also has a WaterWatch alarm to alert the homeowners of possible plumbing leaks within the encapsulated crawl space.

An IceGuard was installed on the discharge line on the exterior of the crawl space. If the line becomes frozen or blocked by snow during the winter, the IceGuard has slotted openings to allow trapped water to escape to the yard and not back up into the basement.

Jason W. is thrilled he can finally use his crawl space for storage and he no longer has to worry about damage from high humidity.

Crawl Space Waterproofing in Centralia, IL

Jeff A. of Centralia, IL was worried when he discovered that his crawl space was holding water. Because air rises, having a wet crawl space can cause all kinds of problems. Any mold spores and allergens in the crawl space can end up coming through a home's vents, which means that the homeowner is breathing in these allergens constantly. Fortunately, Jeff decided to call Woods Basement Systems, and we were happy to help!

After design specialist Brandon B. assessed the home and determined the best solution, foreman Joshua B. traveled to the home. He started off by installing a SmartPipe system with an exterior discharge line and IceGuard, a SmartSump, and a SaniDry CX. The SmartPipe drainage system has holes on the top and front which helps collect water from the ground and the surface of the crawl space, leaving a drier area. The SmartSump is a sump pump made specifically for crawl spaces. With the help of the exterior discharge line, it moves water out and away from the crawl space. In case of a cold winter, the IceGuard provides a different path for water if the discharge line freezes. The SaniDry CX is a special dehumidifier made for crawl spaces. It collects any water vapor present and drains into the sump pump. Finally foreman Joshua B. installed an EverLast Door. This door is made out of inorganic material that seals the crawl space and keeps out water and any air leakage.

After the installment of all these waterproofing products, Jeff A. no longer has to worry about any water collecting in his home's crawl space. 

Smart Jacks Installed in Forsyth, IL Crawl Space

Scott B. of Forsyth, Illinois noticed multiple cracks in his walls. He did not want to ignore the problem and allow the damage to get worse, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Nolan M. assured the homeowner that the problem could be fixed with Smart Jacks. Foreman Joshua B. went over to the home to install two smart jacks. The smart jacks, made of steel, are placed in the crawl space. They lift and stabilize the beams, which levels out the house and prevents further damage.

Scott B. no longer has to worry about the walls in his house cracking. The house is now stable, safe, and even.

Dan L. of Forsyth, Illinois noticed that water was flooding his basement after a big rain shower. He called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Because PolyLevel is very strong and dries quickly, usually in under 30 minutes, the driveway was ready to be driven and walked on in no time at all!

Water Damaged Basement in Decatur, IL Restored with WaterGuard & TripleSafe

Kevin from Decatur, Illinois needed to waterproof his basement and needed a professional to look over his basement. System design specialist, Max D., met Kevin at his home and looked over his wet basement. To solve Kevin's waterproofing issues, he recommended installing a WaterGuard drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump. 

Head foreman, Miguel O., and his crew installed the new waterproofing products into the Decatur, Illinois basement. The WaterGuard drains were installed in the footing of the basement walls to catch and collect water leaks. These drains will then direct the water leaks towards the new sump pump. The new sump that was installed is called a TripleSafe sump pump. This three sump pump system serves as a dependable pump all year around! Thanks to these top waterproofing products, Kevin now can enjoy his basement again. 

 

New Sump Pump

Steve W. from Warrensburg, IL already had an exisitng sump pump system. However, eventually sump pumps will need to be replaced.

 

That's why Steve W. turned to Wood's Basement Systems to install a new and highly efficient sump pump. Foreman Michael B. was able to install the new pump quickly and with minimal disruption to the homeowner's day.

 

Now Steve W. has a new sump pump to keep his basement dry without having to install a whole new system.

Servicing Sump Pumps

This home in Washington, MO. was due for a maintenance inspection. Even though they didn't have the unique sump pump systems that Woods Basement Systems offers like the UltraSump or TripleSafe™ systems, Clint W. was still able to inspect the Zoeller sump pump they do have to make sure their sump pump is in good condition.

 

After performing his inspection on the sump pump, Clint also checked the exterior drainage line to make sure the water was being drained where it was supposed to be. He took the opportunity to install a cover on the end of the line to prevent dirt and debris from falling into the pipe where it could clog and block the water from being expelled. 

 

Even though the homeowners didn't have a sump pump system that Woods Basement Systems installs, we were still able to perform an inspection and maintenance check on the system in place.

Supporting Walls with Wall Anchors

This home in Chesterfield, MO. was experiencing bowing walls. The pressure from the soil outside pressing in was causing the foundation walls to bend inward slightly. Over time, this pressure and bending could cause severe damage ranging from cracks up to collapsed walls.

 

To fix this problem, foreman Todd G. of Woods Basement Systems installed GeoLock wall anchors. This system can not only stop walls from bowing, but can sometimes even reverse the process, straightening the walls back out to their original position. 

 

The wall anchor system works by burying a plate outside in the compacted soil and running a steel rod through the loose soil and into the home, where it attaches to a second plate inside. The two plates are pulled together by the rod, pulling the foundation walls into a strong, supported position permanently. 

 

With wall anchors in place in this home in Chesterfield, the homeowners won't have to worry about their foundation walls failing anymore.

Incapsulated Crawlspace in Decatur, IL

Homeowner Gary T. was noticing the negative effects of a dirt crawlspace beneath his home. Dirt crawlspaces can allow water vapor to rise into the home, as well as mold and dank smells.

CleanSpace™ is a vapor barrier made from an incredibly tough liner that features an anti-microbial layer. That means this rugged liner will block water from entering the crawlspace through the floor or the walls as well as being mold resistant. 

 

Thanks to CleanSpace™, Gary T.'s crawlspace won't damage his home or make it feel uncomfortable with damp and smelly air rising from below.
