Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Support with PowerBrace
In Chester, Illinois homeowner Meredith C. was worried about the foundation of her home. In her basement, she noticed several large cracks forming horizontally and stair-stepping up the concrete blocks of her walls. Realizing that the cracks will be a risk to the investment of her home as well as a risk to the safety of her family, Meredith decided to call Woods Basement Systems to repair her foundation problems.
