Professional Crawl Space Repair and Waterproofing in Central Illinois
Crawl spaces require a great deal of attention and care to prevent structural damage and other issues for your home. Although crawl spaces are often not a top priority, this area is an integral part of your home that can cause your entire home issues! Previously, ventilated crawl spaces were allowed fresh air to circulate below your home. However, we are now aware that this can cause an imbalance in temperatures. An imbalance of the crawl space temperatures can lead to an increase in humidity, which can cause water damage, mold damage, and other structural issues. Additionally, exposed crawl space areas are more prone to standing water and critters.
The Force Waterproofing experts recommend properly sealing your crawl space off from outside elements and critters to create a healthy environment under your home. We complete a proper evaluation to gauge what issues are already present and determine the best course of action to close your crawl space.

Many signs of water or structural damage in your crawl space won’t immediately be visible. This makes them easy to miss or ignore until they cause other issues with your home. In most cases these problems can cause health and safety issues in your home if they are not addressed.

Crawl Space Repair Solutions
Encapsulation System
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of completely closing off your crawl space from outside elements. We use heavy-duty sheeting, vent covers, and a secure door for crawl space encapsulation systems. Once we clean and seal the area, we ensure humidity levels are in control to prevent mold growth. We use a dehumidifier designed for crawl spaces to avoid excess moisture quickly and permanently from building up
Stabilizing Jacks
If your floors are sinking, the best repair is to replace the old, wooden columns with a system of steel crawl space stabilizers and jacks to restore your floor. These repairs will properly level your floor and prevent any future sinking of your floors.
Additional Services
In addition to our crawl space repair and encapsulation system, we offer permanent foundation repair services, full basement waterproofing systems, humidity control, and bowed wall repair services. Please visit their respective pages for more information.
