Before & After Photos

Amy B. of Chatham, IL had a problem with humidity and moisture in her crawl space. Moisture would seep into the crawl space through the foundation walls and raised the humidity within the space, rotting the wooden floor joists above so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended an encapsulation system.

Woods installed the SaniDry crawl space dehumidifier. It’s a powerful dehumidifier that can handle the damp conditions of the crawl space and remove up to 109 pints of water from the air per day while using the same amount of energy as smaller, store-bought units. It keeps relative humidity low within the crawl space to prevent the conditions that foster mold growth and cause rot.

Floors were sloping in Chatham, IL, due to the lack of support in the crawlspace. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A crawlspace in Chatham, Illinois was letting cold air and humidity seep into the upper levels of the home. To fix this issue, Woods sealed the crawlspace with the CleanSpace System. This system consists of a heavy 20 mil-thick-liner that seals off the ground from the home above. It is highly durable and tear-resistant, perfect for protecting against mold, water, and insects. Thanks to this install, this crawlspace will remain bright and sealed for many years to come.

Campbell Hill, Illinois homeowner Mark B. was distraught by his wet, moldy crawl space. Water leaked into the crawl space causing mold. The mold risked damaging his home's support system. System Design Specialist Nolan M. designed a solution.

CleanSpacen and SaniDry were installed. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier. It prevents water from entering the crawl space and does not support mold growth. SaniDry is an energy-efficient dehumidifier. Keeping the humidity low will prevent mold.

BEFORE: Dirt crawl spaces like this one in Albers, Illinois often allow mold spores and water to move freely, causing damage to the home.

AFTER: Now, mold doesn't stand a chance, and the home owners find their home to be more comfortable to live in. Woods Basement Systems stopped the mold growth with a seven-layer, high-density polyethylene vapor barrier that helps control mold growth.
