Foundation Repair Photo Album: Water Damaged, Shifting Foundation Aligned by Push Piers & Wall Anchors

His home in West Salem, Illinois had struggled with years of water damage that weakened the structure of the basement. On top of this issue, the home's foundation was settling due to the maturing of the house. These issues were solved by installing push piers to lift the foundation back into place. Wall anchors were also drilled into the walls to regain the stability. Team Woods installed these foundation support products to keep the home safe and secure for many more years to come.

Foundation Settlement

Cracking and shifting of the basement wall revealed that the home was experiencing foundation settlement. Over time this is common to see among homes, but to keep the house safe and secure action to restore the foundation should be taken right away.

Residue of Water Stains

As Team Woods investigated the home, they had found previous water leaks inside the basement.

Soaked Wall

Water is powerful and can weaken a wall over time. A wall that experiences several water leaks can potentially bow or collapse due to the weight and pressure of water.

Bowing Wall

This wall was bowing due to water pressure placed on the wall during heavy rains. To fix this wall, wall anchors would soon be installed to straighten the wall and regain stability.

Wall Anchors Installed

The walls are now supported by wall anchors which will help straighten the walls over time by locking the wall back into a stable position.

Powerful Beams

Wall anchors are made out of durable, galvanized steel which can hold a massive amount of weight. This is why a water damaged wall that carries more weight than normal can be restored by these beams.
