Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This basement is Hartford, Illinois used to have bowing walls and water seepage. Woods installed wall anchors to straighten the walls and repair the foundation.

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. This Hartford, Illinois homeowner contacted Woods Basement Systems and a team quickly installed several steel PowerBrace supports against the walls to totally halt any bowing.

This settled basement needed a permanent repair to restore the foundation. Team Woods resolved this issue by installing push piers into the footing of the foundation. Push piers are used to lift and lock the foundation back into place after settlement. Now this basement is safe and sound thanks to push piers!
