Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation was cracking in a Robinson, IL basement, and the cracks were leaking water. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Next, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Robinson, IL, causing the house to sink and damage the sill plate. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Longview, Illnois homeowner Floyd had several cracks in multiple cinder block foundation walls of home. Concerned about the integrity of his home, he contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free foundation estimate. 

Design specialist Greg B. determined the best solution for Floyd's home would be the installation of PowerBraces along the cracked walls, which can stop further damage and potentially straighten the wall. This system involves no exterior excavation and permanently stabilizes the wall. It is one of the many customizable solutions we offer for stabilizing bowing, tipping, or buckling foundation walls. 

Floyd can now rest assured him home's foundation is stable.

Bowing and cracking foundation walls present quite a problem. Not only are the cracks unsightly, they often lead to water leaks and even a potential for total wall collapse. These issues don't just solve themselves; they require expert attention. With this in mind, this Longview, Illinois homeowner contacted Woods Basement Systems to remedy his badly bowing and cracking basement walls. A Woods team installed several PowerBrace supports all along the basement walls to prevent further bowing and straighten them over time!

A crawlspace in Oblong, Illinois, needed some new support piers installed. Insufficient substitutes were no longer offering the support that the crawlspace needed to stay functional. Woods came in and installed new support posts to address 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 system in place, homeowners can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will be stable for years to come.
