Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Belleville, IL, affecting its stability. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

A foundation was showing signs of failure in Belleville, IL as cracks were forming. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were 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!

This Belleville, Illinois home's walls were beginning to bow. Installing wall anchors is a way to not only stop the bowing of a wall but also to return the walls to their original shape.

A basement in Belleville, Illinois needed support posts installed to help stabilize the floors above. Woods installed the patented SmartJack System to provide more support. These are custom-fit galvanized beams set in a solid base of engineered fill. Not only do they stabilize effectively, but the SmartJack System can continue to be lifted and adjusted over time. Thanks to this installation, the homeowners can have peace of mind that their home will remain stable for years to come.

When you own a business, it’s very important that you keep your building structurally sound.  That’s why Archford Capital Strategies called Woods Basement Systems when they discovered that they had bowing walls in their facility.  System Design Specialist Chris T was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in the facility.  The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to a stable level of soil away from the building, and the other will attach to the wall itself.  The device can be tightened so over time it will be able to straighten the walls.
