Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Sandoval, IL were experiencing wall failure in the basement of their home and reached out to Woods Basement Systems for help.  Our team installed the PowerBrace System, which are I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  The homeowners were happy with their new supported basement wall for years to come!

A crawlspace in Thompsonville, Illinois, needed some stabilization. Floor joists from above were starting to show signs of failure and needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed new support piers to remedy this issue. The SmartJack System consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this install in place, this crawlspace is sure to stay stable for many years to come.

When Ron M discovered that his basement walls were bending he knew he needed to do something. That’s why he called Woods Basement System. A System Design Specialist was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors pictured above. One side of the anchor attaches to ground away from the house, and the other attaches to the basement walls. It will then pull the walls back into place.

Water damage can be extremely detrimental to walls by breaking them down and causing them to fail. This homeowner was very concerned about the stability of her home and requested for Woods Basement Systems to secure her failing walls. Team Woods installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to permanently lock and position the walls in a safe and sturdy state. 

In Morrison, Illinois homeowner Gary C. was aware that his home had foundation problems. He decided to wait and see if the problem got worse before calling someone out to help. After a construction site developed near his home he began to see more and more cracks appearing in and outside of the home. Worried what might happen, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems to solve his problem.

We sent out our foreman Jeremy R. and his team out to Morrison, IL to assess the problem. Because his home was very damaged from the foundation problems, they decided to use two of our patented foundation support solutions to lift and stabilize his home. The team installed our PowerBrace and GeoLock  systems for extra support in the home. Now, Gary never has to worry about the foundation of his home again.
