Fairview Heights, IL homeowner Laura noticed sagging floors rooms above her crawl space. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Luke B. developed a plan to stop the sagging floors and prevent future ones.
Foreman Juan H. and his crew installed 3' SmartJacks throughout her crawl space to replace the brick supports that were there. The SmartJack is made of steel components and comes in a variety of sizes to best fit the area they are needed. SmartJacks can hold up to 60,000 pounds. Once all SmartJacks are in place, they are adjusted to raise the floor back to its original position.
Laura can walk with ease now knowing her floor will support her.
Settling foundation can cause walls to crack or bow. Woods Basement Systems can install an anchor system such as the one pictured that will not only prevent a wall from cracking further but can even return a wall to its original shape. Woods Basement Systems also offers several methods of repairing wall cracks.

Rodney J and Ralph A were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. That’s why they called Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Kevin E was able to come up with a solution to the problem.
Foreman Jose L installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above. The wall anchor will attach to the basement wall and also attach to a stable level of soil away from the house and will pull the walls back into place and keep them stable.
Over time, it is not uncommon for foundation walls to begin cracking and bowing under pressure. However, these are not benign issues and it is very important to take action before they can get worse.
