Before & After Photos

A crawlspace In Dewey, Illinois, needed some supports installed as the floor above was starting to sag. Woods Basement Systems came in and installed the SmartJack System to stabilize the floor joists. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building and can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this system in place, the homeowners can rest assured their home will be stable for decades into the future.

Scott, a Tolono, Illinois homeowner,  was worried about standing water in his crawl space. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Greg B. developed a plan to get his crawl space sealed and dry. 

Foreman James L. and his crew installed the crawl space system of CleanSpace with drainage matting, a SmartSump sump pump with IceGuard and Lawnscape Well. 

The core of this system is the CleanSpace with drainage matting is an inorganic, anti-microbial vapor barrier. It is designed to catch the water vapor from the dirt and that comes through the porous walls. The drainage matting then provides a path to redirect the collected vapor to the sump pump. It also will fight mold by cutting of the food source for the spores. 

The SmartSump sump pump is the perfect size for a crawl space. It pumps any collected water from the basement through a discharge line away from the home. 

The IceGuard on the discharge line gives a release if the line becomes clogged or freezes. The Lawnscape Outlet goes at the end of the discharge line. It is designed to blend into the grass around it and lower risk of trip injury or landscaping problems. 

Removing the standing water is essential to getting healthy air in the home. It will also protect the woods and other surfaces throughout the crawl space.  Scott now has a safe and dry crawl space he can be proud of. 

In Tolono, Illinois homeowners Jon and Aimee E. wanted a solution to their damp and smelly crawlspace. Like many other homeowners, they didn’t have much insulation in their crawlspace, causing damp and musty air in from the exposed earth to enter their crawlspace, and eventually their home. Unsure of what to do, they called Woods Basement Systems to find the perfect solution to their crawlspace problem.

We sent our foremen Justin Gunn and his team out to their home to seal their crawlspace from the earth, using several of our products including UltraSump, CleanSpace, and Vent Covers. Once the crawlspace is completely sealed, these homeowners will have a dry, clean space to store items and not have to worry about their home smelling like their crawlspace.

Mark and Mitzi W., Champaign, Illinois homeowners, were frustrated with their musty, moldy crawlspace. System design specialist Kevin E. designed a solution to keep their crawlspace dry and mold-free.

CleanSpace was installed by Josh B. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier, so it keeps the basement dry. It is inorganic, so it does not support mold growth. Mark and Mitzi can breath easily knowing they have a dry crawlsprace free of mold.

John of Champaign, Illinois found that he had a musty, wet crawl space and wanted to find a solution. So, he called Woods Basement Systems and system design specialist, Gregory B. recommended CleanSpace was the solution that fit the customer's needs.

Foreman, James L. installed the CleanSpace system. The system is made of a vapor barrier which is inorganic material, meaning it is resistant to mold. CleanSpace is used to guide water out of a basement or crawl space in order for that area to stay dry. 

Now John T. no longer has to worry about his wet crawl space and can fully enjoy his home.
