Before & After Photos

This homeowner was alarmed to see his baement walls bending inwards into his home. Design Specialist Greg B. from Woods Basement Systems inspected the damaged wall and recommended the ideal solution for the issue at hand.

Foreman Jeremy R. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to brace the compromised wall. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod and heavy-duty steel plate to reinforce and potentially straighten foundation walls under strain. 

Gregory and Corrine H. of Rantoul, Illinois had found signs of foundation settlement around their home. The walls on their basement were cracked, cracks were forming near windows and doors and on the ceiling. Concerned and unsure what to do, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Woods is not only a waterproofing expert, but they repair foundation problems, seal crawlspaces, etc.

We sent our foreman Lucas Bockhorn and his team out to the home to install our patented PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace system is designed to permanently stabilize your home’s foundation. It supports basement walls and allows for straightening over time. Now that the PowerBrace system was installed, the homeowners were stable and supported.

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Rantoul, IL, so 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.

When bricks on the exterior or interior of your home shift creating cracks, this signals that foundation settlement is present. A permanent solution to this issue is by installing push piers into the footing of the foundation. Push piers lift and lock the foundation back into place to safely restore a troubled foundation. 

Longview, Illnois homeowner Floyd had several cracks in multiple cinder block foundation walls of home. Concerned about the integrity of his home, he contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free foundation estimate. 

Design specialist Greg B. determined the best solution for Floyd's home would be the installation of PowerBraces along the cracked walls, which can stop further damage and potentially straighten the wall. This system involves no exterior excavation and permanently stabilizes the wall. It is one of the many customizable solutions we offer for stabilizing bowing, tipping, or buckling foundation walls. 

Floyd can now rest assured him home's foundation is stable.
