Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Support blocks in a crawlspace located in Altamont, Illinois were starting to fail and needed a solution. To fix this issue, Woods installed The SmartJack System. This system consists of galvanized steel beams that replace the support blocks to better support the floors and frame above. The SmartJack System also addresses unstable foundation soil by creating a solid base of engineered fill on which to set the SmartJacks on top of. Thanks to Woods and the SmartJack System, this crawlspace will remain securely supported for decades to come!

Zachary R., Xenia, Illinois homeowner, was concerned by horizontal cracks in his block foundation. A System Design Specialist inspected the foundation, and determined the wall was bowing. High hydrostatic pressure in the soil can cause foundation walls to bow in. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to restore the foundation wall. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are made of galvanized steel and driven into undisturbed soil. With this solution, Zachary no longer has to worry about his foundation collapsing.

A homeowner in Xenia, Illinois called Woods Basement Systems to have their basement waterproofed and to solve a foundation repair. The Woods team was very professional, taking only one day to install the entire system. Once the system was installed, the basement would stay dry for years to come. Now, the homeowners will not have to worry about their foundation cracking and damaging the integrity of their home.

A foundation wall was bowing inward in Springerton, Il, and cracks were forming. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

This Farina, Illinois homeowner was confronted with a nightmare when one his foundation walls totally collapsed inward. His basement filled with dirt and rubble, and his home became exposed to the elements. He needed fast, professional help, and Woods Basement Systems answered the call. A Woods team first built a new foundation wall out of concrete blocks. After this, GeoLock wall supports were installed on each wall in the basement. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates on the interior surface of the walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.
