Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner has cracks developing in the corner of their basement wall. The corner relies on the adjacent walls to support it, and both walls had large diagonal cracks, showing that the corner had little to no support left. The solution on one of the walls was to use Power Braces. There was not sufficient room to install Wall Anchors on this wall, because a neighbor's yard was too close. These metal supports are placed against the wall and bolted down to prevent the wall from bowing, and giving it extra support for the home.

Effingham, Illinois homeowner Sue had cracks in her basement. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke B. determined the problems and developed the plan for Sue. 

Foreman Miguel and his crew installed the dual system, which included the Push Piers and the PowerBraces. The Push Piers go underground to lift the home. The PowerBraces go in the basement to provide extra support the beams need to keep floors and walls sturdy. 

Sue can now trust her home will be safe for decades to come.
