Unstable Support Blocks Replaced in Carlinville, IL Crawlspace

Support blocks were shifting in a crawlspace in Carlinville, IL causing issues. To fix this, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Repairing a Problematic Foundation in Carlinville, IL

A foundation was becoming unstable in Carlinville, IL, and water was also running down it. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!

These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a basement. These add strength and stability to the existing 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, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!
