Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation and Foundation Support in Farina, Illinois
Jason of Farina, Illinois, was experiencing two issues beneath his home: excess moisture in his crawlspace and sinking floors caused by inadequate foundation support. To address both problems, he called Woods Basement Systems for a lasting solution. Our team installed a heavy-duty water barrier liner throughout the crawlspace to help prevent moisture from entering through the ground and creating conditions for mold growth. Additionally, support jack systems were installed across the space to reinforce the home's foundation, lift the sagging floors, and help return them closer to their original position.
With crawlspace encapsulation and structural support working together, Jason now has a cleaner, drier crawlspace and improved stability throughout his home. Woods Basement Systems provided a comprehensive solution that addressed both the moisture concerns and underlying structural problems, helping protect his home's foundation for years to come.

Moisture in the Crawlspace
Moisture can be very harmful to your crawlspace. Encapsulation is a solution that can help prevent the issue from continuing post-install.
Installation
Our crew installed the support jack system first to help lift the floors above the crawlspace.
Water Barrier Liner
Our water barrier liner protects the crawlspace from moisture reaching the open air. Instead the moisture or leaks are redirected beneath the liner and through the discharge line outside of the home.
Support Jacks
This homeowner dealt with a sagging floor above their crawlspace. Our support jack system helps solve that problem by lifting the floors to their original position. The system is custom fit to each space and can be tightened or loosened to help continuing support of the home.
Discharge Line
We installed our discharge line to release moisture collected inside the crawlspace outside of the home. This helps to keep the space dry and healthy even if moisture finds it's way in.
