Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was becoming unstable in Salem, IL, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to this system!

Basement walls in a home in Salem, Illinois, were starting to crack and bow inwards. Without any correction, this problem would only continue to worsen. Woods came out and installed the Geolock Wall Anchor System. Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attach to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. Thanks to the install, this basement will stay supported for years to come.

A basement in Salem, IL, was leaking and wet, needing to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the sump pump keeps working even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry all the time.
