Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Lester H. of Greenville, Illinois noticed that a couple walls in his home's basement were starting to bow and crack. He did not want to ignore the problem and allow it to get worse or cause any safety hazards, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Joshua L. assessed the situation and decided that the best solution was to install a few wall anchors. Foreman Jeremy R. headed to the home to get the job started. The wall anchors, pictured above, are made of steel and extend from the inside of the house to the hard packed soil outside. The wall anchors stabilize and prevent the wall from any further movement.

Lester H. no longer has to worry about his home's walls bowing and cracking. He now has stable and safe basement walls.

A Woods team installed several Push Piers underneath the foundation before adjusting them to lift and level it. These piers will remain for the life of the structure to provide support.
