Before & After Photos

A foundation wall was bowing inward in Springerton, Il, and cracks were forming. 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!

Cracks in foundation walls can be a sign of external pressure from soil causing the walls to fail. The damage to the walls will get worse over time if not addressed. Chad and Amy C. of Neoga, IL had tried patching the cracks in their walls before but new ones would form so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the cracked walls. They counteract the external soil pressure and permanently stabilize walls in place. They can straighten the walls over time, in most cases, by tightening the anchors during dry periods.

Chad and Amy C were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. So, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Kevin E was able to come up with a solution to the problem.
