Stabilizing and Encapsulating a Crawlspace in O'Fallon, IL

A crawlspace was becoming unstable in O'Fallon, IL, and moisture was seeping into it. 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 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. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain stable and dry for years to come!
