Before & After Photos

A basement wall was cracking in New Athens, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

PowerBraces resecured this cracked basement by securing the walls into place. These beams are tightened into the floors and ceiling to give the wall strength to secure it into place. 

This Perryville, Missouri basement featured a single badly cracked and slightly bowing wall. Although the problem wasn't affecting the entire basement, it was still very important to address it. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors to right the wall. These anchors are installed by drilling a long, steel rod about 10 feet out into the firmer surrounding soil and then attaching that rod to a plate on the surface of the wall. They are then adjusted to return the walls to level.

A crawlspace was settling in Perryville, MO, causing the walls to shift. 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 crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Bunker Hill, IL, causing it to bow inward and crack. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further 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 remain stable and secure for years to come!
