Geo-Lock Wall Anchor Installed in Gillespie, IL

Kent and Susan T were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. So, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Brenton K was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Juan H installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Kent and Susan’s basement. The Anchor has two ends, one will attach to a stable level of soil away from the house. The other end will attach to the basement wall. The device can be tightened and overtime will straighten the walls.

Cracking Foundation Repaired in Venedy, IL

A foundation was cracking in Venedy, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, 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. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!

Repairing a Problematic Foundation in Carlinville, IL

A foundation was becoming unstable in Carlinville, IL, and water was also running down it. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!

Unstable Support Blocks Replaced in Carlinville, IL Crawlspace

Support blocks were shifting in a crawlspace in Carlinville, IL causing issues. To fix this, 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 restore peace of mind for years to come!

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Permanently Stabilize Foundation Walls in Makanda, IL

Bowing, tilting and cracking in foundation walls are signs of damage from pressure of unstable soil on the outside of the walls. If these problems are left unchecked, walls may fail causing even worse problems. Rich M. of Makanda, IL had bowing and cracked walls so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the bowing and cracked walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the external pressure on the walls by connecting steel earth anchors, that have been embedded in more stable soil in the yard, to steel wall plates on the inside of the walls using galvanized steel anchor rods. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls in the position they are in and can even straighten walls in most cases by tightening the anchors during dry periods.
