Before & After Photos

Over the years, several of these Mt. Vernon, Illinois basement's walls had become badly cracked. The homeowner worried that, if left unchecked, this damage might eventually cause a total wall collapse. In order to reinforce the walls and put the homeowner's mind at ease, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the damaged walls, effectively pulling them outward and straightening them over time. 

SmartJacks were used to stabilize and level the sinking floor in this Mount Vernon, Illinois crawl space. Team Woods installed several SmartJacks throughout the crawl space to reinforce the troubled foundation. 

A foundation was cracking in Mount Vernon, IL, and was starting to leak. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation in a Mount Vernon, IL basement was bowing inward, causing large horizontal cracks to appear. If not treated, these cracks will begin to leak water, so 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 bowing inward in Mount Vernon, Il, causing large cracks to appear. These cracks were leaking water, which was causing damage to the basement. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first 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. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
