Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A retaining wall was shifting in East Alton, IL, as it was tilting forward and cracking. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the wall. Once installed, these will hold the wall in its current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of over time. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize it for good!
