Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Collinsville, Illinois home's basement walls had become badly cracked over the years due to pressure from the surrounding soil. This damage had already caused water-leak issues, and the homeowners were eager to remedy the issue. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several PowerBrace beams up against the walls to prevent any further cracking or bowing. 

A foundation was settling in a basement in Collinsville, IL, causing the floors in the house to tag. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the basement 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 basement will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Shelley and Jeremy C. of Collinsville, Illinois were concerned when they discovered their support beams had begun to sag. System design specialist Adam R. designed a solution to prevent the foundation from collapsing. 

Foreman Bradly P. installed SmartJack, a support system made of galvanized steel. SmartJack can be adjusted as need over time, so it is a permanent solution for sagging support beams. Shelley and Jeremy now live comfortably in their home knowing it is safely restored and supported.

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Collinsville, IL, causing the support posts to rot and sink. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and will allow one to easily see inside. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back to its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

Crawlsapce support blocks were failing in Collinsville, IL, causing the beams to sag and shift. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!
