Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Stabilizing And Sealing A Crawlspace, Discharge Drain Install In Centralia, IL

A home in Centralia, Illinois, had several different jobs that needed completed. The first thing that Woods addressed were the stabilization issues in the crawlspace. The floor joists above were starting to sag, and needed to be reinforced. Woods installed the SmartJack System to fix this. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the home. They can be tightened over time which allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. The next job was to seal the crawlspace using the CleanSpace System. This system consists of a highly durable sheet that is placed on the walls and ground of the crawlspace, acting as a barrier from wind, the elements, and moisture. The last install was to address some waterproofing issues in the home. While the home already had a sump pump, it needed some new discharge lines to help get the water away from the basement's perimeter. With these installs in place, this home is much dryer and more stable than it was previously.
