Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Over time, cracks can appear in basement walls and go from tiny hairlines to huge, feet-long fractures. These large cracks can cause water leaking issues, wall bowing, and put the home at risk of a total wall collapse. Because of this, it is imperative to address wall cracking as soon as it's noticed. This Edwardsville, Illinois homeowner was facing these exact problems, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed several GeoLock wall supports in the space. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the basement walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.
