Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Over time, it is not uncommon for foundation walls to begin cracking and bowing under pressure. However, these are not benign issues and it is very important to take action before they can get worse. This Hartford, Illinois homeowner contacted Woods Basement Systems and a team quickly installed several steel PowerBrace supports against the walls to totally halt any bowing.

Robert and Shirley M. of Cottage Hils, Illinois were troubled by water leaking into their garage. Because of the steep grade of their driveway, water easily flowed into their garage.

Foreman Ryan L. installed a trench drain. The trench drain collects water before it can enter further into the garage. The drain then guides the water away from the home. Robert and Shirley are glad the water will stay away.

Homeowners in Cottage Hills had wall failure in their basement which appeared on their walls through stair-step cracking, sagging floors, and leaning walls.  To counteract that, Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock System and PowerBrace System.  Geolock works to anchor the basement walls to the dirt outside of the home.  This mechanism works to stop wall failure and straighten the wall over time.  PowerBrace is I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  The homeowners were excited to have a reinforced basement and peace of mind!
