Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Foundation Support Installed in Collinsville, Illinois

A homeowner in Collinsville, Illinois, turned to Woods Basement Systems for help with a cracked, bowing foundation wall. To restore stability, our team installed the Power Brace System from inside the basement. This system uses custom-fitted steel I-beams secured to the basement floor and the floor joists above to reinforce the wall and prevent further inward movement. The adjustable braces can also be tightened over time to help straighten the wall toward its original position, providing lasting support for the home's foundation.
