Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Stabilize Sagging Floors in Westville, Illinois Crawl Space

A Westville, IL homeowner contacted our waterproofing company because there were floors throughout the house that were uneven and the blocks of the foundation were sinking into the ground. After meeting for a free estimate we installed our SmartJack® XT supports to stabilize the crawl space beams and floor joists so there is no more sagging sloping floors. Here are some progress photos of the job during and after installation.

Wet Insulation

A crawl space's fiberglass insulation tends to absorb moisture and humidity, growing mold and eventually leaking.

Debris

There were piles of insulation and debris throughout the floor of the crawl space. Moisture caused the insulation to fall from between the floor joists.

Makeshift Pier

One of the floor joists was resting on the pier holding that section of the floor up which is not an ideal way to keep your floors from sagging..

Effects of Moisture

Not having the crawl space encapsulated is why the insulation has fallen from the crawl space ceiling.

Vapor Barrier

We highly suggest having some sort of encapsulation on your crawl space but this vapor barrier liner isn't doing much for this space as you can see. To be effective, it needs to be air tight and sealed and some sort of waterproofing system to capture the moisture.
