Support blocks in a crawlspace located in Altamont, Illinois were starting to fail and needed a solution. To fix this issue, Woods installed The SmartJack System. This system consists of galvanized steel beams that replace the support blocks to better support the floors and frame above. The SmartJack System also addresses unstable foundation soil by creating a solid base of engineered fill on which to set the SmartJacks on top of. Thanks to Woods and the SmartJack System, this crawlspace will remain securely supported for decades to come!

Water entered a crawlspace in Altamont, IL, creating a damp and moldy environment. The floor beams were also sagging, creating more issues. To fix these problems, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it.

Next, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. 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, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!
