Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Palestine, Illinois homeowner Jenny M. was concerned about the well-being of her home. Lately, she had noticed cracks forming around her home on the walls of her basement. She was unsure of what was causing it and wanted to solve the problem before it became worse. After talking to friends and family, she made a call to Woods Basement Systems.

Our foreman Jose Lorenzana has over 15 years of experience fixing foundation problems just like the one in Jenny’s home. Jose and his team installed PushPiers underneath the footing of the home to lift and stabilize the walls of the foundation, in many cases lifting the home back to its original position. This solution will close cracks and stop the formation of new ones. Homeowner Jenny was pleased with the work done by the Woods Basement Systems team and now refers family and friends to the company when they have a problem in their basement.

A basement in Sidell, IL, was in need of wall support. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PowerBrace™ was used. These custom fit steel beams will help distribute the weight of the building. This system can also be adjusted over time, as needed. With PowerBrace™ in place, the homeowner can rest assured that their basement will remain in great shape for years to come!

A foundation was bowing inward in Armstrong, IL, causing large horizontal cracks to appear. 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 now remain stable and secure for years to come!

The support beams were cracking in a crawlspace in Hume, IL, so the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This system will never rust or corrode, keeping the crawlspace stable and restoring peace of mind for years to come!

Allerton, Illinois homeowner Shawn M. was troubled when he discovered cracks in his block foundation. Upon inspection, System Design Specialist Greg B. determined the cracks were a result of bowing walls. Greg designed a solution.

Foreman Jeremy R. installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Geo-Lock is made of galvanized steel, so it won't corrode. These anchors are installed into undisturbed soil and provide permanent support. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors work to restore the walls to their original position.

With Geo-Lock, Shawn has peace of mind knowing his foundation is safe.
