Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A home in Rochester, Illinois, had a foundation that was starting to settle. Cracks started to appear on the exterior walls of the home, indicating moving ground soils. Woods came out and installed some new supports to rectify the issue. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home should be stable for decades into the future.

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.
