Before & After Photos

A crawlspace was not properly supported in Jonesboro, IL, and moisture entered it. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and rafters in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers in the crawlspace. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This prevents crawl space moisture by encapsulating it with a vapor barrier, closing the crawl space vents, and conditioning the space to make a healthier crawlspace and home!

Plastic crawl space vapor barriers may block a lot of moister vapor from the dirt but it vents most of it at the perimeter where the plastic cover is open nearest the wall.  Over time, this causes the wood floor joist and sill plate at the perimeter to rot, commonly called dry rot.  This is due to the seasonal temperature changes and the abundant moisture released from beneath the plastic cover condensing on the wood, then drying, getting absorbed again, then drying, and getting wet another day, then drying...  Our CleanSpace® encapsulation system, like the one installed in this Murphysboro, Illinois crawl space, STOPS this problem, helps reduce radon levels, control mold and bugs, and lower energy costs.

What is the SmartSump? It is Basement System's ideal crawl space sump pump. The Zoeller 1/3 hp pump is made from cast iron, and the air-tight lid is fully compatible with a CleanSpace encapsulation system. Consider removing your old pump for the powerful, attractive, and reliable SmartSump, designed exclusively for the below-space environment.

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Murphysboro, IL, causing mold to grow. The insulation was also failing. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. Additionally, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were installed. This features a radiant barrier that is infused with graphite, which will reflect heat back into the crawlspace and save energy overall. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and warm for years to come!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Murphysboro, IL, creating a damp and musty environment. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will isolate the crawlspace from the ground. It also controls water, humidity, outside air infiltration, and heat loss. The white finish will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside. This crawlspace will now remain dry and clean for years to come!
