Before & After Photos

Fairview Heights, IL homeowner Laura noticed sagging floors rooms above her crawl space. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Luke B. developed a plan to stop the sagging floors and prevent future ones. 

Foreman Juan H. and his crew installed 3' SmartJacks throughout her crawl space to replace the brick supports that were there. The SmartJack is made of steel components and comes in a variety of sizes to best fit the area they are needed. SmartJacks can hold up to 60,000 pounds. Once all SmartJacks are in place, they are adjusted to raise the floor back to its original position. 

Laura can walk with ease now knowing her floor will support her. 

It is not uncommon for concrete foundation walls to begin cracking and slightly bowing with age, but that doesn't mean that it is not a problem. This Fairview Heights, Illinois basement was suffering from a cracked wall that was also begnning to tilt inward, causing the homeowner to worry about collapse. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several PowerBrace beams against the wall to gradually level and support the foundation.

A foundation was becoming unstable in Fairview Heights, IL, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Dexter, MO, causing large cracks to form and grow. 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!
