Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Collinsville, IL, causing the support posts to rot and sink. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and will allow one to easily see inside. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back to its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

Crawlsapce support blocks were failing in Collinsville, IL, causing the beams to sag and shift. 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!

A foundation wall was settling in Collinsville, IL, causing it to crack and bow inward. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement.

This foundation will remain stable for years to come!

A basement in Collinsville, Illinois, was having some foundation issues. Cracks in the walls were present, as well as bowing from the floor above. To fix this, Woods came in and installed metal supports to stabilize the home. The PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. Thanks to these beams, this home will remain stable for decades to come.

A retaining wall was shifting in Collinsville, IL, causing a large vertical crack to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed.

This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
