Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Floors were sagging in a house in Jacksonville, IL, so the SmartJack System was installed in the crawlspace. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists 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 will keep the crawlspace stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement wall was cracking in Jacksonville, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the Geolock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

A foundation was bowing inward in Steeleville, IL, causing large horizontal cracks to form. To solve these issues, 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 foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Steeleville, Illinois, needed some wall support work done. Cracks were starting to appear on the interior walls of the basement, indicative of a settling foundation. To address this issue, Woods came in and installed the GeoLock Anchor System. Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. With the addition of this installation, this basement will be stable for many years to come.

A stair-stepping crack through the brickwork is a possible sign of a foundation that is settling. These Freeburg, Illinois homeowners called us to take care of the crack and inspect their foundation.

Our push piers are placed beneath the foundation wall by removing some of the footing so the pier bracket fits close to the vertical foundation wall.  The hydraulic ram smoothly installs the pier tubing and the excavated holes are filled in when completed.
