Stabilizing A Crawlspace In Oblong, IL Stabilizing A Crawlspace In Oblong, IL

A crawlspace in Oblong, Illinois, needed some new support piers installed. Insufficient substitutes were no longer offering the support that the crawlspace needed to stay functional. Woods came in and installed new support posts to address this issue. The SmartJack System consists of custom-cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this system in place, homeowners can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will be stable for years to come.

Fast and Effective Concrete Lifting and Leveling

The major flaw of concrete is that the ground that it was poured on top of will inevitably shift and sink over time. In the states of Illinois and Missouri sinking concrete is all too common which is why our company has gone to great lengths to develop fast and effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions. PolyLevel is a revolutionary product that is minimally invasive and not only lifts and levels concrete but also stabilizes it.

How PolyLevel works:

  1. The concrete lifting and leveling process begins with a few small holes drilled in the slab.
  2. Then the PolyLevel polymer is injected into the holes and expands to provide an accurate lift.
  3. After only about 15 minutes the polymer is dry and the concrete is ready to be walked and even driven on.

This concrete lifting and leveling technique is faster, less disruptive, and arguably more effective than mud jacking, which is the standard that PolyLevel replaces. We even offer SealantPro concrete sealing, which extends slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application. This concrete sealing system is resistant to moisture, oil, UV rays, abrasions, and more.

To remove tripping hazards, stabilize concrete, and lift it back to a level height nothing is faster or more effective than PolyLevel concrete leveling. After, our concrete sealing system will preserve your slabs for a lifetime. To schedule a FREE concrete lifting and leveling or concrete sealing estimate, contact us today!

We can Fix: 
  • Sunken sidewalks
  • Sagging steps
  • Uneven patios
  • Sinking driveways

Job Stories From Oblong, IL
Crawl Space Waterproofing in Oblong, IL

Bob H. of Oblong, Illinois was shocked when he discovered that his home's crawl space was holding water. He knew that standing water could cause rotting and mold growth, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Gregory B. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SmartSump sump pump, and a SmartPipe drainage system. Foreman James L. then traveled to the home to get the job started.

The CleanSpace encapsulation system was placed on the floor and up the walls of the crawl space. It is a durable liner that completely seals the crawl space from the earth and acts as a vapor barrier. The SmartPipe drainage system accepts water from both the soil and the surface of the crawl space. It drains any water from the ground to the sump pump. Finally, the SmartSump is a sump pump made specifically for crawl spaces. It collects and removes water from the crawl space through a discharge line.

Bob H. no longer has to worry about discovering a flooded crawl space. His home's crawl space is now dry and waterproof.
