This Collinsville, Illinois home's basement walls had become badly cracked over the years due to pressure from the surrounding soil.

This foundation will remain stable for years to come!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Collinsville, IL, causing the support posts to rot and sink. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and will allow one to easily see inside. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back to its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
