Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Westville, IL needed some structural support. The current support blocks were failing, causing cracks and separation of the beams. To solve this issue, Woods installed the SmartJack System. These will stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. These will also 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 and supported for years to come!

A foundation in Westville, IL was settling, causing cracks to form in several places. To fix this, the powerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation, eliminate any further inward movement, and reverse the effects of wall failure. It will also straighten the walls back to their original position and close the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable for years to come!

Our O'Fallon, IL Customer found herself in deep water in her dirt floor crawl space after heavy rains hit the MetroEast this spring. Dr. Energy Saver installed a CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation System, and a SmartSump to ensure this 'ankle-deep' flood is never seen again!

Drafts were constantly coming in this home and disturbing the residents who lived here.  The allergens outside were following the people inside and not letting them have peace.  After sealing the attic and basement with foam, the drafts stopped which meant the allergies were also put to a halt.

A dirt crawl space under a home can lead to unending problems. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love the damp environment as well. The CleanSpace encapsulation system completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air which, when combined with sealing outside air and dehumidification, will eliminate mold growth and rot from your crawl space and make the whole house a healthier environment.

The detail between the foundation wall, the sill plate, the rim joist, and the sub flooring allows for significant air leakage from the outside...especially when pipe wire penetrations are added. It is also this rim joist area that is often poorly insulated. Even when your rim joist is insulated with fiberglass bats, the outside air will still leak in through the bats, because this form of insulation acts as a filter. Spraying expanding foam insulation on the inside surface of the rim joist, to cover the sill plate down to the top of the basement wall, not only seals all air leaks very effectively, but it insulates as well.
