Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Ricard and Colene were unhappy with their settling foundation as their Waltonville, Illinois home began to lean. Push Piers were installed as a permanent solution to their settling foundation. Now, their home is restored to its original position without concern of future settling.

Support blocks were sinking in a crawlspace in Irvington, IL, causing the support beams to shift. To solve these issues, 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 crawlspace will remain stable and secure for years to come!

A foundation was shifting in a basement in West Frankfort, IL, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to permanently stabilize a home’s foundation. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

The foundation walls of Zach A.’s Hillsboro, IL home were bowing inward. The severe degree of the bowing made him worried that the walls might fail so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing PowerBraces.

Woods custom fit the adjustable steel beams to the height of the basement. They fit them snuggly against the walls and secured them in place using steel brackets. PowerBraces stabilize foundation walls and prevent future damage. They also offer the opportunity to improve the walls by tightening them during dry conditions.

A crawlspace in Sesser, Illinois had supports that were starting to fail. The homeowners were placing bricks and other materials in the crawlspace, attempting to band-aid the support issues. To address the issue effectively, Woods opted to install new support piers to add increased stability. The SmartJack System addresses weak and unstable soils. Galvanized steel posts are custom fit and set in engineered fill to distribute the weight of the home. Thanks to the install, this home will remain sturdy for many years to come.
