Before & After Photos

Robert B. of Moro, Illinois noticed that a few walls in his home's basement were bowing and cracking. He did not want to ignore the problem and allow it to get worse or cause safety concerns, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Cory S. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a few PowerBraces. Foreman Jeremy R. then traveled to the home to get the job started. PowerBraces, pictured above, consist of steel I-beams that are fastened to the joists above the wall. The system is adjustable and can be tightened to help stabilize and straighten the wall.

Robert B. no longer has to worry about the walls in his basement's home bowing or cracking. He now has stable, safe, and straight basement walls.

Design specialist Cory S. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a few wall anchors. Foreman Jeremy R. then traveled to the home to get the job started. Wall anchors are made of steel and extend from the inside basement walls to the hard packed soil outside. The wall anchors stabilize, support, and prevent further movement of the walls.

A foundation was shifting in Moro, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Shelley and Jeremy C. of Collinsville, Illinois were concerned when they discovered their support beams had begun to sag. System design specialist Adam R. designed a solution to prevent the foundation from collapsing. 

Foreman Bradly P. installed SmartJack, a support system made of galvanized steel. SmartJack can be adjusted as need over time, so it is a permanent solution for sagging support beams. Shelley and Jeremy now live comfortably in their home knowing it is safely restored and supported.

This Collinsville, Illinois home's basement walls had become badly cracked over the years due to pressure from the surrounding soil. This damage had already caused water-leak issues, and the homeowners were eager to remedy the issue. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several PowerBrace beams up against the walls to prevent any further cracking or bowing.
