Dirt crawlspaces can be incredibly harmful to the longevity of a home. This is because dirt crawlspaces offer the vulnerable underside of the home no protection from hazards such as pests, water vapor and mold. These things can rise through the dirt and impact the floor joists that make up the roof of the crawlspace - and support your floor!

 The best way to combat these dirt crawlspace problems is with CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is a tear-proof and waterproof liner that incapsulates a crawlspace, totally protecting it from the dangers of having a dirt floor. Water and water vapor that rises from the dirt gets blocked by the liner and directed to a sump pump to be drained away from the home. CleanSpace™ also has an anti-microbial layer that will block mold and prevent mold from growing on the surface of CleanSpace™.

When homes are constructed, a large amount of earth is removed to make room for the foundations. After the foundations are constructed, this earth is returned in a process called backfilling. Backfilled earth is often loosely compressed, which can cause problems for the foundation walls over time.

The loose earth will often expand and contract with changes in the weather. Clays in the soil in particular gain a large amount of volume when they get wet, causing thme to expand. This expansion can press against the foundation walls and, over time, cause cracks and bowing.

In order to fix bowing walls and make sure the expansion of the soils around the home doesn't continue to threaten the structure, wall anchors are installed. Wall anchors work by attaching a plate to the inside of the wall and connecting it to an anchor plate buried in the compact soil that was not dug up during the construction process. This anchor plate will help to pull the wall even as the expanding soil pushes it. The result is a permanently strengthened foundation wall that can even be straightened back to its original position over time. 

For this home in Springfield, IL., bowing walls won't be a concern anymore thanks to the permanent support of the wall anchor system.

Stair step and vertical cracks in foundation walls like the ones Wade K. noticed in his Springfield, IL home are signs of foundation settlement. Soil conditions on the exterior of the foundation is the major cause of settlement. Soil can shrink and create voids when dry, move when wet or compress if it wasn’t compacted properly when the home was built, all of which cause the foundation to settle. If the foundation doesn’t settle uniformly, it can lead to the separations and cracks, which is why Wade called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Push Piers.

Woods installed the Push Piers are installed inside the basement of the home. Push Piers are made of high-strength steel sections that are hydraulically driven through steel brackets down into competent, load-bearing soil or bedrock. They transfer the weight of the home from the unstable soil conditions responsible for the settlement to the competent soil or bedrock. In many cases, Push Piers can also lift the home back to level position. After the Push Piers are in place and the home has been lifted, the Push Piers are attached to the concrete footing and locked into place to permanently stabilize the foundation. When Push Piers are installed inside the home, they are cemented over to flush position with the rest of the basement floor.

Wade K. now has peace of mind that his foundation and home are safe and permanently stable.

A Springfield, IL basement was in desperate need of a waterproofing system.  Over the years, the foundation had settled, causing cracks in the foundation and walls.  The sump pump was failing to keep up with the incoming water and wasn’t keeping the basement dry.

Woods Basement Systems first installed Push Piers around the home in order to lift the home back toward its original position and close the cracks in the foundation.  Woods installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump to prevent any future basement flooding.  The WaterGuard system along with a TripleSafe gave the customer the satisfaction of having a permanently dry basement.

Got a nasty crawl space in need of a makeover?  Berta from Springfield certainly did, and she now has a clean and encapsulated crawl space thanks to CleanSpace.  Before the installation, she would never think of going down in her crawl space.  Now she has a nice storage area that separates her crawl space from the earth and seals water out.

Woods Basement Systems installed the CleanSpace in order to transform the crawl space into a healthy, usable space.  The material is thick and durable, and it will last as long as the home.

Berta was very satisfied with the work that was done and rated Woods a 10 out of 10.  She highly recommends Woods due to their excellent service.
