Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Springfield, Illinois, was leaking cold air and moisture up into the home it was supporting. To remedy this issue, Woods installed the CleanSpace System. This system seals the earth from the home above it with a highly durable tarp. It is inorganic and moisture proof, ensuring protection against insects, rot, and mold. Thanks to this install, the crawlspace will remain dry for many years to come.

Our crawlspace encapsulation system securely seals the crawlspace to improve indoor air quality, keep floors warmer, and eliminate excess moisture that leads to mold growth. This long-lasting, one-time installation provides reliable protection. The system fully encapsulates the crawlspace and includes integrated drainage matting to safely direct water away. Paired with durable vent covers, it blocks outside air intrusion that can introduce moisture and compromise the health of your home.

BEFORE: Moisture from water damaged the fiberglass insulation, floor joist and studs in this Springfield, Illinois crawl space.

AFTER: Woods Basement installed a crawl space vapor barrier and insulation that pays for itself with its energy-efficient benefits.

In Springfield, Illinois homeowner Jerry S. was having issues with a wet crawl space. His crawl space looked like many other homeowners, with a dirt floor letting moisture into his home. Once he noticed a smell coming into his home above, he made a call to Woods Basement Systems. He was referred to Woods by a friend that had recently had their crawl space sealed and insulated. He wanted a space that was usable for storage without worrying that his items would get wet or damaged. After a free estimate from one of our system design specialists, he was greeted by our foreman Michael R. who sealed and insulated the space in just one day. The Woods Basement Systems team installed a vapor barrier liner on the floors and walls of the space called Clean Space. If any water were to get into space it would be pumped out by our SmartSump system. Homeowner Jerry was happy with the work done in the space and was ready to use the new storage area in his home.

Originally, this crawl space was lined with plastic that either the homeowner laid down or another business did.  Dirt, pests, and water easily made it under and on to the surface of this liner.  CleanSpace replaced this and created a much cleaner space.  The white liner is thick enough to keep away pests, dirt, and water.  It lines the floor and the walls to make sure proper drainage is taking place.  CleanSpace leaves the crawl space dry and looking brand new.
