Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation was becoming unstable in a Red Bud, IL basement, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The 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!

Steve was looking to close on a home in Red Bud, Illinois. Before he could close, he had to find out if the wall damage in the basement was structural or cosmetic. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Nolan M. determined the damage was structural bowing causing the cracks and developed a plan to solve the problem. 

Foreman Mason S. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to pull the wall back to its original position. Bowing walls are caused by the Earth and water around your home wanting to fill the hole that is your basement. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors use the Earth behind the active soil line to pull the wall back. A steel rod is driven through the wall into the soil. In the soil it is anchored to a steel anchor plate. On the interior a large steel anchor plate is used to distribute the pressure across a larger area. By tightening the rods slowly overtime, the cracks in the wall will close. 

With the Wall Anchors in place, Steve was able to close on the home and become a homeowner in Red Bud. 

This Dow, Illinois home had cracking walls due to foundation settling. Woods Basement Systems installed a system to repair the crack and wall anchors to ensure that the wall doesn't bow in further and even revert the wall to its original shape. Woods Basement Systems can repair foundation problems using the various foundation repair systems at its disposal from anchors to piers.

Andrea C. of Dow, Illinois noticed that a couple walls in her home's basement were bowing and cracking. She did not want to ignore the problem and allow it to get worse, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Bruce S. assessed the situation and decided that the installment of a couple wall anchors would fix the homeowner's problems. Foreman Caleb C. then traveled to the home to get the job started. The wall anchors, pictured above, extended from the inside walls of the home to the hard packed soil outside. The anchors stabilize and prevent further movement of the walls.

Andrea C. no longer has to worry about her home's walls bowing. She now has stable and safe walls.
