Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Granite City, IL,  causing the floor beams to crack. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

Pressure from soil on the foundation walls of a basement can cause the walls to bow, lean and crack.  Cheryl S. noticed cracks and areas where parts of her wall had crumbled away so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along Cheryl’s cracking walls. Steel wall plates are connected to anchor rods that are driven through the wall and attach to earth anchors in the yard. They are tightened to permanently stabilize the walls and can straighten walls in most cases.

Cheryl S. is glad to know her walls are safe from any future damage and are stable.
