Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

Homeowner Mark Q. of Lancaster, Illinois wanted to seal and encapsulate his crawl space. Over the years, the space had become a mess, sending unwanted smells into their home above. After consulting a neighbor, they made a call to Woods Basement Systems. Foreman Jesse C. and his team were able to encapsulate the crawl space using our CleanSpace liner. This transformed the crawl space into a dry, bright usable area beneath their home.

A crawlspace in Mattoon, IL was damp and needed some extra support. To do this, Woods installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, and dramatically reduces the air's humidity level, eliminating mold growth and rot from the crawlspace and making the whole house healthier. The bright white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allows one to easily see that the crawlspace is free of mold, insects, and dirt. Additionally, 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 and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

A crawlspace in a home in Mattoon Illinois needed some attention as the supports were starting to fail. To counter this problem, Woods installed the SmartJack System to stabilize the crawlspace beams and floor joists. A solid base of fill is first set to provide a solid foundation, and galvanized steel beams are custom fit and held in place by brackets. They also installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This is a very thick liner that separates the cold, wet ground from the home above it. Thanks to these installs, this home will safely house its occupants for years to come!

Bart and Cheryl V were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. So, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Gregory B was able to come up with a solution to the problem. 

Foreman Jeremy R installed a PowerBrace Assembly, shown above. The PowerBrace is a long metal beam and will attach to the walls and keep them from bending any further than they already have.  It will also be able to straighten the walls over time.
