Before & After Photos

Jean W. of Pana, Illinois was concerned with the large horizontal crack growing under her window in the wall of her basement. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. We came up with a solution for her foundation problem to fix her leaning wall.

Foreman Miguel Ortiz installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Jean's basement. The Wall Anchors will provide stability and support to straighten her failed wall. Permanently straightening the walls back to their original position. Jean will no longer have to worry about her walls and foundation caving in.

This homeowner was shocked to see their basement walls cracking and bowing into the home's interior. System Design Specialist Greg B. assessed the situation and recommended a long-lasting repair solution to protect the foundation and the home.

Foreman Brad P. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to reinforce the damaged wall. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod and heavy-duty steel plates to brace bowing walls and potentially straighten them to their original position. With Geo-Lock, this homeowner has the piece of mind they deserve.

This Niantic, Illinois foundation was not secure and this affected the basement walls. These walls were cracking and moving into an unstable position. Team Woods secured the walls with Geo-Locks to tighten and strengthen the walls over time. 

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Vandalia, IL, creating a damp environment and causing mold to grow. Support blocks were also sinking and shifting, causing the beams to sink and crack. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. Next, 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. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

This basement in Vandalia, IL was suffering from buckling foundation walls due to pressure from the outside soil. GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed to hold the foundation walls in place. These can be further tightened as well, so even during dry seasons this happy customer's walls won't budge.
