Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Floors were sagging in a house in Jacksonville, IL, so the SmartJack System was installed in the crawlspace. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This will keep the crawlspace stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement wall was cracking in Jacksonville, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the Geolock Wall Anchor System was 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!

A basement in Cahokia, Illinois, was showing signs of failing foundation walls. Cracks could be seen adorning the walls around the perimeter of the basement, likely from a combination of hydrostatic pressure and moving ground soils. To address this issue, Woods installed the GeoLock Anchor System. In this 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. With the addition of these anchors, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their investment will lead to a stable basement for decades to come.

Support beams were shifting in an East Saint Louis, IL crawlspace, causing the floors in the house to sag. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed.

A crawlspace in East Saint Louis, Illinois, needed some supports to lift the failing floor joists above. Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to stabilize the failing beams. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With these supports in place, this home will be stable for years to come.
