Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Guy R. of Edwardsville, IL had bowing, cracking foundation walls in his basement. He was worried they might collapse so he called Woods Basement System. Woods recommended installed PowerBraces.

PowerBraces were installed along the bowing, cracking walls. The steel beams are fitted against the walls and held firmly in placed by steel brackets attached to the floor joists and cement floors of the basement. They stabilize the walls in their position and are adjustable so they offer the opportunity to improve and straighten the walls over time.

Guy R. is carefree because he knows his foundation walls are stable.

The floors of Jim H.’s Edwardsville, IL sunroom were sagging. He was worried that the floors might eventually collapse so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing SmartJacks.

Woods installed the SmartJacks along the sagging floor beams. Smart Jacks are adjustable steel columns that are held in place by concrete footings and support the floor beams above to permanently stabilize them in place. They can also lift floors to a more level position.

When Kim and Rick W discovered that their basement walls were bowing they knew they needed to do something quickly. So they called Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Chris S was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed the GeoLock wall anchor that you see above. The anchor attaches to an area away from the house and also to the basement walls, and will pull the walls back to where they are supposed to be.

Dustee of Edwardsville, Illinois struggled with damaged walls that risked the structure and overall safety of his home. Dustee gave Woods Basement Systems a call to see what his best solution would be. He spoke with system design specialist, Simba T., who customized a solution for his damaged walls. The final solution for Dustee was to use PowerBraces on the wall to bring back support and stability to a failing wall. Thankfully, now Dustee can have peace of mind knowing that with these strong, steel beams his basement will remain stable for years to come. 

Allen of Edwardsville, Illinois wanted to waterproof his basement because he grew annoyed with constantly repairing wall cracks. These wall cracks developed because of the pressure of water leaks, which is called hydrostatic pressure. Allen decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call after viewing great reviews. For repair, PowerBrace beams were used to restore the failing wall. 

PowerBrace beams are heavy-duty steel beams that are installed into the wall to regain support and stability. PowerBrace beams are a permanent solution to strengthening and straightening a wall back to its original position. Now with the help of PowerBrace beams, Allen can utilize his home as extra storage space!
