Before & After Photos

A foundation was shifting in a basement in Millstadt, IL, causing large cracks to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Millstadt, IL, causing cracks to appear on the exterior walls of the house. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Homeowner John B. of Patton, Missouri was dealing with foundation issues in his home. He noticed large cracks forming on the basement walls and decided to make a call to Woods Basement Systems. We installed the perfect solution for John’s home, PowerBrace. The patented PowerBrace Brackets reverses the forces of nature by reinforcing the wall and over time can move the wall back to its original position without excavation outside of the home or removal of concrete from the basement floor. With PowerBrace, there is no need to seal up foundation cracks, saving your time and money. Now, John is happy he made the call to Woods Basement Systems.

Jessica F. of Brighton, Illinois noticed that her basement was collecting water and some of the walls were cracking and bowing. She did not want to ignore the problems and allow them to get worse, so she called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Cody M. assessed the situation and decided that installing wall anchors would fix the bowing walls, and a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system would keep the basement dry. Because foreman and their crews are specially trained, foreman Miguel O. came to the home to install the waterproofing products, and foreman Jeremy R. traveled to the home to install the wall anchors.

Wall anchors, pictured above, extend from the inside walls of the basement to the hard packed soil outside. The wall anchors stabilize and prevent any further movement of the walls.

Jessica F. no longer has to worry about the walls in her home cracking or her basement flooding. She now has stable walls and a dry basement.

This East Alton, Illinois basement suffered structural wall damage that allowed water to seep in through the cracks. Now, after Woods Basement Systems straightened the walls and installed the WaterGuard waterproofing system around the perimeter, this basement is completely dry.
