Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Pekin, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (115)

Crawl spaces in Pekin are particularly vulnerable to the effects of the region's clay soil, especially with the area's average annual precipitation of around 36 inches. The clay retains moisture, causing it to expand when wet and contract when dry, which can destabilize your crawl space structure. This fluctuation can lead to excessive humidity, mold growth, and damage from water infiltration. Implementing crawl space repair and encapsulation is crucial for protecting your home from these harmful effects and maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, proudly serves Pekin with specialized services in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting. Our focus is on providing high-quality solutions and personalized customer service across Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas.

Why your neighbors trust Foundation Recovery Systems

We've earned 97 five star reviews.

"I am very pleased with the concrete lift work completed by Foundation Recovery Systems. Mike and Nick were very friendly and professional as they were explaining step-by-step how the project would be completed. As we did the walk through, they pointed out other areas that would need attention soon in addition to what was outlined in the original contract. I agreed and the additional work was able to be added to the contract for a reasonable added cost with no problem. Although additional work was added to the contract, Mike and Nick were still able to complete the job in 1 day with quality. They consistently asked if I had any questions and answered the questions I had professionally and courteously. They did an excellent job with clean-up which left me nothing to do when the job was completed. I will definitely work with Foundation Recovery Systems again."

Types of Crawl Space Damage in Pekin

Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Pekin

Moisture and Humidity

Excess moisture in your crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time.

Groundwater Seepage

Poor drainage or leaking pipes can lead to standing water in your crawl space, potentially causing mold growth and compromising structural integrity.

Poor Ventilation

Open vents in your crawl space allow humid air to enter, leading to condensation, mold, and long-term moisture damage.

Pest Infestations

Damp or unsealed crawl spaces create an inviting environment for rodents, termites, and other pests, leading to structural damage and contamination.

Soil Settlement

Shifting soil beneath your home can lead to foundation settlement, causing sagging floors and damage to crawl space supports.

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in crawl space foundation walls allow water, pests, and unconditioned air to enter, causing moisture and structural issues.

High Energy Bills

Poorly sealed or damaged crawl spaces can increase heating and cooling costs due to energy loss.

Stack Effect

Damage in your crawl space allows mold and odors to spread into your home. Repairing the crawl space prevents this, improving your air quality and living environment.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can shift the soil beneath your home, leading to sagging floors or structural damage in your crawl space. Repairing these issues restores stability and protects your home from further problems.
