A basement wall was showing signs of failure in East Saint Louis, IL, as large cracks were forming and leaking water. 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!

A crawlspace in East Saint Louis, Illinois, needed some supports to lift the failing floor joists above. Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to stabilize the failing beams. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With these supports in place, this home will be stable for years to come.
