Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Crawlspace support blocks were shifting in Blue Mound, IL, and the floor beams were rotting. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

This homeowner was shocked to see their basement walls cracking and bowing into the home's interior. System Design Specialist Greg B. assessed the situation and recommended a long-lasting repair solution to protect the foundation and the home.

Foreman Brad P. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to reinforce the damaged wall. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod and heavy-duty steel plates to brace bowing walls and potentially straighten them to their original position. With Geo-Lock, this homeowner has the piece of mind they deserve.

This Niantic, Illinois foundation was not secure and this affected the basement walls. These walls were cracking and moving into an unstable position. Team Woods secured the walls with Geo-Locks to tighten and strengthen the walls over time. 

A support beam in a Salem, IL crawlspace was failing, cracking, and not supporting the floor above. To solve this issue, 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. They will also reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come! 

A foundation was becoming unstable in Salem, IL, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!
