Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Repairing an Unstable and Damp Crawlspace in Murphysboro, IL

Support blocks were shifting in a crawlspace in Murphysboro, IL, and the door was not sealing properly. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first 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 and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans. Next, the EverLast Crawlspace Door was installed. This is made completely of waterproof inorganic material that is resistant to mold growth. It looks much better than deteriorating wood doors, as it will never rot, rust, or need paint.  Made of a half-inch-thick solid plastic with a special airtight foam seal, it's designed to seal off the crawlspace from the outside elements to protect your area from outside humidity and cold. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will always remain stable and dry!
