Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This Farina, Illinois homeowner was confronted with a nightmare when one his foundation walls totally collapsed inward. His basement filled with dirt and rubble, and his home became exposed to the elements. He needed fast, professional help, and Woods Basement Systems answered the call. A Woods team first built a new foundation wall out of concrete blocks. After this, GeoLock wall supports were installed on each wall in the basement. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates on the interior surface of the walls, effectively pulling them outward over time. 

Mary E is worried about the support in her crawlspace. It seems to be failing, causing multiple problems in the house. The floors are sloping, and cracks are appearing in the ceiling and walls. 

Michael R and his crew installed The SmartJack System to support the beams and joists in the crawlspace. This will resolve the problems in the house, such as the sloping floors and the cracks. A CleanSpace liner was also installed to isolate the crawlspace from the earth. This will also prevent water vapor from entering, keeping the crawlspace clean and dry. Mary can now relax knowing her crawlspace is stabilized!

A foundation was shifting in Farina, IL, as it was bowing out and cracking. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. 

A crawlspace in Farina, IL, was struggling with humidity and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, Clean Space™ was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This highly durable liner will not only make the crawlspace look nicer, but it will also help to keep humidity out. Next, a SaniDry™ Sedona™ Dehumidifier was installed to lower the humidity in the crawlspace and direct the water to the nearest sump pump. Finally, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the crawlspace. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry for years to come!

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to fix this leaned in wall in Altamont, IL. Because the wall anchors are attached to a steel rod at the wall plate and will provide pressure to straighten out the wall.
