Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace Installed in Louisville, IL
David and Corrine H. of Louisville, Illinois had found signs of foundation settlement around their home. The walls on their basement were cracked, cracks were forming near windows and doors and on the ceiling. Concerned and unsure what to do, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems.
