Before & After Photos

A foundation was becoming unstable in Olney, IL, and water was seeping through it as well. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any 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. Additionally, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable, dry, and clean for years to come!

This homeowner's basement foundation in Olney, IL,  was settling, causing cracks in the walls and water to seep into the house. To fix this, the GeoLock wall anchor system was installed to stabilize the foundation and prevent wall failure. This will also seal cracks over time, keeping water from leaking into the basement.

Dave of Dundas, Illinois wanted to secure his foundation after viewing cracks and movement in the basement. He quickly called Woods Basement Systems to schedule an appointment for a permanent, stabilizing repair. Dave worked alongside a Woods' system design specialist who helped design a plan for Dave's basement repair.

Team Woods installed the Geo-Lock wall anchors into the basement walls to strengthen and stabilize the walls. Geo-Lock anchors are anchored outside of the home to pull the wall back into a stable position. This system works slowly over time to permanently realign the damaged walls. Geo-Locks are the optimal wall repair solution that will leave the homeowner happy and safe!

Urbana, Illinois homeowner Becky was concerned about hte horizontal cracks in her basement walls. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Greg B. determined the perfect solution. 

Foreman Kevin J. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to fix Becky's walls. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were the perfect choice because they can return the wall to its original position. This will close the crakcs and prevent furture ones from forming. 

The cracks are caused by the pressure of the active soil and water around the house wanting to fill the hole that is the basement. The walls give in overtime causing bowing and leading to cracks and gaps. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors fight against this by using the Earth behind the active soil line. A steel plate is buried in the ground and a steel rod is drilled through an interior anchor, the foundation wall, and into the soil until it is attached in the anchor plate. 

Becky can now enjoy her basement knowing it will be stable for decades to come. 

This Urbana, Illinois homeowner Tom had cracks in the walls of his basement and exterior of the home. He decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call to see what the best solution would be. From there, Team Woods' system design specialist, Greg B., developed the most ideal plan as a solution. 

Foreman Kevin and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are steel rods that are drilled through the foundation wall and past the active soil line. They use the earth in order to provide the resistance the walls need to keep the dirt and water out. 

Tom can now enjoy his basement and trust it is going to remain stable and dry.
