Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This house in Springfield, Illinois had bowing walls and water seepage before we installed the anchors. Hydrostatic pressure caused the walls to bow and allowed water to seep in. With wall anchors in place, the walls stand firm, and water stays out.

Support beams were sagging in a crawlspace in Springfield, IL, causing the floors above to sink. To solve this issue, 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 now remain dry and clean for years to come!

A basement in Springfield, Illinois, started having cracks appear on the foundation walls. These are most likely being caused by moving ground soils and need to be addressed before conditions worsen. Woods came out and installed the The PowerBrace System. This system consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent further wall failure. With these braces in place, this home is sure to stay stable for years to come.

Wade K. noticed that new cracks and separations had formed in the foundation walls in his  Springfield, IL home. The cracks were allowing water to get in and Wade K. was worried about the safety of his home’s structure so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods inspected the foundation and recommended installing Push Piers.

Woods installed the Push Piers along the concrete footing on the inside of the home. Push Piers are made of galvanized steel sections that are hydraulically driven through steel brackets down into competent, load-bearing soil or bedrock. They transfer the weight of the home from the unstable soil conditions responsible for the settlement to the competent soil or bedrock. The piers are then attached to the concrete footing with the steel brackets to permanently stabilize the foundation. In many cases, Push Piers can also lift the home back to level position.

After years of water damage developing in this Springfield, Illinois basement, the homeowner noticed the walls were beginning to bow. To prevent this issue from continuing, Team Woods installed PowerBrace beams to the walls to secure and stabilize the troubled walls.
