Before & After Photos

A basement in Glen Carbon, Illinois, had some floor joists that were starting to fail. Woods came out and installed new support piers to help lift these sagging posts back up to their proper position. The PowerBrace System consists of custom cut steel beams that are fit to the height of the ceiling. These beams are secured to the floor and the floor joists above, lifting and stabilizing the failing foundation beams. With this install in place, the homeowner's stability concerns are alleviated.

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!
