Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Over time, pressure coming from the soil around the foundation often leads to cracks. This is especially true with concrete-block foundation walls. Because the wall is made of individual pieces rather than one solid slab, cracks form at the joints between blocks. These cracks often lead to water leaks and put the home at risk for total wall collapse. This was the case for this Millstadt, Illinois home, and the owner called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed several GeoLock wall supports along the cracking walls, connecting steel plates to heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation to support the wall and effectively pull it outward over time. 

A basement wall was shifting in Millstadt, IL, so GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

The main support post in a Jerseyville, IL crawlspace was sagging, causing the floor in the house to slope. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists and lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation. They will also reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!
