Foundation Wall Anchors in Carbondale, IL

This block foundation wall in Carbondale, Illinois was bowing inward from hydrostatic pressure and had developed horizontal cracks.  To stabilize the wall and prevent it from bowing further, Woods Basement Systems installed Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors.  The anchors consist of a galvanized, metal rod that runs from the interior to the exterior, an exterior anchor plate that rests in the virgin soil outside, and an interior anchor plate that is tightened to restore the wall's position.

Cracked and Bowing Foundation Repaired in Carbondale, IL

A foundation was shifting in a Carbondale, IL basement, causing it to bow inward and crack. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This basement will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

 

Bowing Foundation Wall Repaired in Carbondale, IL

Hydrostatic pressure, the weight of water filling up the exterior soil, was pushing this Carbondale basement wall in and causing it bow.  Stair-stepping cracks developed in the wall near a corner, and horizontal cracks ran nearly the full length of the wall.  Woods Basement Systems installed Foundation Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors to counteract the hydrostatic pressure and restore the wall.

Stabilizing & Waterproofing Carbondale, IL Block Foundation

Before this Carbondale, Illinois project began, mudflow had to be cleaned up.  The block foundation had cracked and bowed under hydrostatic pressure, the basement had leaked, and mud was everywhere.  To secure the block foundation walls, Woods Basement Systems installed Geo-Lock™ wall anchors.  Once the foundation was stabilized, a waterproofing systems was installed around the perimeter.  The WaterGuard system rests on the concrete footing around the perimeter just below the slab floor.  The WellDuct system catches water that would otherwise build up inside the window well and drains the water to the WaterGuard and away to the sump pump.  This homeowner chose a dual sump pump system for double protection against groundwater seepage and a WaterWatch alarm to alert him of primary pump failure.
