Dustin in Waterloo, IL was alarmed to see his basement walls bowing and bending into his home, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance. System design specialist Thomas W. gave Dustin a free estimate and recommended the for the best foundation repair solution. PowerBrace uses heavy duty steel i-beams that secure into the ceiling joists for reliable, long-lasting protection from settling. 

Many of this Waterloo, Illinois home's basement walls were badly cracked and bowing due to many years of heavy pressure from the outside soil. The homeowners were concerned about the possibility of a total wall collapse, and they called Woods Basement Systems for help. In order to reinforce the walls, several GeoLock wall supports were installed. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates affixed to the surface of the damaged walls, effectively pulling them outward over time. 

A retaining wall was leaking in Waterloo, IL, causing concern. 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. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

This Perryville, Missouri basement featured a single badly cracked and slightly bowing wall. Although the problem wasn't affecting the entire basement, it was still very important to address it. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors to right the wall. These anchors are installed by drilling a long, steel rod about 10 feet out into the firmer surrounding soil and then attaching that rod to a plate on the surface of the wall. They are then adjusted to return the walls to level.

A porch to a raised home in Grafton, IL was sagging and the current support posts were failing, so Woods installed the SmartJack System. This will stabilize the beams under the porch, as well as the floor joists. these will lift the porch floors back to their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This porch will remain stable for years to come!
