Before & After Photos

External soil conditions can exert tremendous amount of pressure on foundation walls. Kevin L.’s foundation walls had long, horizontal cracks that spanning across them which made him worry about the safety of the walls so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked foundation walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract that external soil pressure by connecting steel wall plates on the inside of the walls, as seen in the picture, to earth anchors embedded in more stable soil conditions in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize walls and prevent future damage.

A foundation was bowing inward in Benton, IL, causing cracks to appear 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 now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was shifting in a basement in West Frankfort, IL, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to permanently stabilize a home’s foundation. 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!

As they age, it is not uncommon for homes with ground floor crawl spaces to experience some floor sagging. This is usually the result of moisture rotting and weakening the wooden floor joists. It is very important to address the issue as soon as its noticed in order to avoid total floor collapse, and this Tower Hill, Illinois homeowner called Woods Basement Systems to do just that. A Woods team installed several Smart Jack supports underneath the floor joists to lift the floor and prevent any sagging for the life of the home.
