Before & After Photos

A basement wall was becoming unstable in a Leland Grove, IL basement, as cracks were appearing. 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 basement in Springfield, Illinois, started having cracks appear on the foundation walls. These are most likely being caused by moving ground soils and need to be addressed before conditions worsen. Woods came out and installed the The PowerBrace System. This system consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent further wall failure. With these braces in place, this home is sure to stay stable for years to come.

This house in Springfield, Illinois had bowing walls and water seepage before we installed the anchors. Hydrostatic pressure caused the walls to bow and allowed water to seep in. With wall anchors in place, the walls stand firm, and water stays out.

This Springfield, Illinois garage's walls were beginning to bow which is one cause of cracks in walls. Woods Basement Systems installed an anchor system in order to return the wall to its original shape and prevent the wall from bowing further.

Support beams were sagging in a crawlspace in Springfield, IL, causing the floors above to sink. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This crawlspace will now remain dry and clean for years to come!
