Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Solution
Homeowner Brenda B. of Highland, Illinois was having major foundation settlement problems. It began by finding small hairline cracks around the corners of her home, ceilings and corners of doors and windows. Next, she began seeing cracks on the walls of her basement, garage, and foundation outside of her home. After a recommendation from a friend, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems, and get her free estimate.
After deciding to go through with the installment, we sent our foreman Jose Lorenzana and his team out to the home to install our patented PushPiers and GeoLock Wall Anchors. The PushPiers are designed to permanently stabilize your home. In many cases, this solution can also lift your home back towards level, closing cracks and improving the operation of doors and windows. The GeoLock Wall Anchors are installed on the foundation walls providing greater stability and are designed to straighten your failed wall over time. Now Brenda is ensured that her home is safe and stable for years to come.
