Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this Granite home had failing walls for over ten years. A Woods foreman came to install wall anchor systems along the walls of the property. Now the homeowners can be safe and live comfortably because these galvanized steel anchor will hold the walls into place, preventing them from falling apart. This helps maintain the value of the home and keep people safe while inside.

A foundation was becoming unstable in abasement in Granite City, IL, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come! 

In the before photo you can see a diagonal crack starting at the corner of the basement window. That is a clear sign of foundation settlement. If this problem were to go untreated, the wall could cave in leaving the home above unsupported. Knowing this was a serious problem these homeowners called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate to correct the issue. After inspecting the home, our system design specialist was able to create a custom solution to permanently correct the problem. In the after photo you can see one of the Geo-Lock wall anchors that were installed to secure this basement. A total of seven anchors through out the basement was needed to properly stop any further settlement. These Frohna homeowners now have peace-of-mind that the full value of their home has been restored!
