Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

This Freeburg, Illinois home had a basement wall that had continued to settle and experience failure. Team Woods investigated the space to find an optimal solution for the homeowner and recommended installing Geo-Lock wall anchors into the troubled wall. The homeowner agreed, allowing Team Woods to repair the wall and protect and maintain the stability of his home for many more years to come!

With the help of Woods Basement Systems, this basement is now safe and secure. Team Woods installed Geo-Lock wall anchors along with durable PowerBrace beams into the basement walls to secure to the unstable foundation. 

Homeowners in Cottage Hills had wall failure in their basement which appeared on their walls through stair-step cracking, sagging floors, and leaning walls.  To counteract that, Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock System and PowerBrace System.  Geolock works to anchor the basement walls to the dirt outside of the home.  This mechanism works to stop wall failure and straighten the wall over time.  PowerBrace is I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  The homeowners were excited to have a reinforced basement and peace of mind!

East Alton, Illinois basement used to have water seepage due to bowing walls. Since Woods Basement Systems installed anchors in the basement, the walls no longer bow in and there is no more water seepage.
