Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing and Waterproofing a Crawlspace in Cahokia, IL

Crawlspace support blocks were failing in Cahokia, IL, and water was entering it as well. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. Next, 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. Additionally, a SmartDrain was installed. This will alert the homeowner if a plumbing leak occurs and will drain the water away into a dry well under the CleanSpace until the leak can be fixed. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This efficient, high-capacity, dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!
