There are some bad sump pumps out there, but Darren's rectangular hole-in-the-ground really wasn't winning any beauty contests. It didn't take much convincing for Darren to upgrade to a Twin Pack sump pump. A backup pump, an airtight floor drain built into the lid, a pump stand, and a WaterWatch Alarm never sounded so good!

Darren's basement wall had an inward bow. Without attention, the bow would only worsen. Foundation Supportworks Inc. has the solution Darren opted for: Geo-Lock Wall Anchors! Rooted firmly in solid soil, these incredible anchors grip the weak areas of the bowing wall and stop cracks from growing. After Geo-Lock has been completely installed, you can still access panels to tighten the anchors and potentially move the wall back into place! Darren no longer has to worry about his basement wall caving in thanks to Woods Basement Systems and the powerful Geo-Lock anchors.

External soil conditions can exert tremendous amount of pressure on foundation walls. Kevin L.’s foundation walls had long, horizontal cracks that spanning across them which made him worry about the safety of the walls so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked foundation walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract that external soil pressure by connecting steel wall plates on the inside of the walls, as seen in the picture, to earth anchors embedded in more stable soil conditions in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize walls and prevent future damage.

Fast and Effective Concrete Lifting and Leveling

The major flaw of concrete is that the ground that it was poured on top of will inevitably shift and sink over time. In the states of Illinois and Missouri sinking concrete is all too common which is why our company has gone to great lengths to develop fast and effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions. PolyLevel is a revolutionary product that is minimally invasive and not only lifts and levels concrete but also stabilizes it.

How PolyLevel works:

  1. The concrete lifting and leveling process begins with a few small holes drilled in the slab.
  2. Then the PolyLevel polymer is injected into the holes and expands to provide an accurate lift.
  3. After only about 15 minutes the polymer is dry and the concrete is ready to be walked and even driven on.

This concrete lifting and leveling technique is faster, less disruptive, and arguably more effective than mud jacking, which is the standard that PolyLevel replaces. We even offer SealantPro concrete sealing, which extends slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application. This concrete sealing system is resistant to moisture, oil, UV rays, abrasions, and more.

To remove tripping hazards, stabilize concrete, and lift it back to a level height nothing is faster or more effective than PolyLevel concrete leveling. After, our concrete sealing system will preserve your slabs for a lifetime. To schedule a FREE concrete lifting and leveling or concrete sealing estimate, contact us today!

We can Fix: 
  • Sunken sidewalks
  • Sagging steps
  • Uneven patios
  • Sinking driveways
