Before & After Photos

A foundation was shifting in Cobden, IL, causing cracks to form and leak water. To solve this issue, 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 restore peace of mind for years to come!

A retaining wall was shifting in Cobden, 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. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This wall will remain stable and secure for years to come!

Homeowners in Du Bois, IL were experiencing wall failure in the basement of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  This system works to stabilize the wall by effectively connecting it to the outside soil of the home.  This strengthens the foundation walls and stops the wall failure in its tracks.  The homeowners were excited to have their home stabilized and to have peace of mind!

Diagonal wall cracks are a sign of inward movement of the basement wall.  Damage to the finished interior wall is another sign of a problem.  We stabilized and stopped this inward bowing by installing Foundation SupportWorks® Goe-Lock™ wall anchors.  This system includes an interior wall plate attached to an exterior double wall anchor plate via a "hot dipped" galvanized rod.  Pinning the wall back by anchoring it to dense stable soils more than 9 feet away from the bowing wall is an efficient and effective way to solve bowing walls.

Customer, Joe of Elkville, Illinois had sagging floors. He already had two floor jacks set up, but they were not doing the job. So he decided to call Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist Jacob K. was able to find a solution by recommending the installation of six SmartJacks.

Foreman, Joshua B. installed the jacks. SmartJacks are used to lift and stabilize existing beams and floor joists. 

Now, Joe K. can enjoy his home without any worries.
