Foundation Repair Photo Album: Encapsulating And Reinforcing A Crawlspace In Carlyle, IL
A crawlspace in Carlyle, Illinois was letting moisture and cold air permeate up through the floors of the home. The supports holding up the home were starting to become weak and needed reinforcement as well. To fix the first issue, Woods installed a CleanSpace System. This system encapsulates the crawlspace with a liner that is tear resistant and inorganic, which prohibits mold growth. The SilverGlo System was also installed. These heat barriers are placed on the walls to maximize heating and cooling efficiency for the home. To fix the second issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This system consists of galvanized steel beams custom-fit to the crawlspace. They are placed in a hole with engineered fill to stabilize them and distribute the weight of the home. These can be adjusted and lift sagging floors over time. Thanks to these installs, this home will stay insulated and supported for decades to come.
