Crawlspace Repair in Mascoutah, IL

A crawlspace in Mascoutah, IL was not being supported as it should be, and it was causing other problems in the house. To fix this issue, the SmartJack System was installed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. These will lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!

Wall Support Installed in Shipman, IL Basement

A basement wall was shifting in a Shipman, IL basement, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

Street Creep in Troy, IL

Street creep is when pressure from the roadway pushes the driveway and continues on into the garage slab forcing the rear foundation wall of the garage to push outward.

We installed our Geo-Lock™ wall anchoring system from Foundation Supportworks® to stop this from causing further damages to this Troy, Illinois garage and foundation.

Stabilizing A Crawlspace In Troy, IL

A crawlspace in Troy, Illinois, needed some stabilization. Woods came out and installed new support piers to reinforce the floor joists above. 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, this crawlspace is sure to stay safe and stable for many years to come.
