Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A retaining wall was shifting in Collinsville, IL, causing a large vertical crack to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The crack was also sealed so that no water can leak through. This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement wall was shifting in a Shipman, IL basement, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were 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!

This Ashland, Illinois home was dealing with a large foundation issue. The basement walls were covered in cracks due to settling foundation, letting in water and causing the home to be unstable. We installed our GeoLock system to permanently stabilize the home’s foundation. GeoLock permanently stabilizes foundation walls and can straighten walls back towards original position. Once tightened, the anchors hold wall securely in current position.

Guy R. of Edwardsville, IL had bowing, cracking foundation walls in his basement. He was worried they might collapse so he called Woods Basement System. Woods recommended installed PowerBraces.

PowerBraces were installed along the bowing, cracking walls. The steel beams are fitted against the walls and held firmly in placed by steel brackets attached to the floor joists and cement floors of the basement. They stabilize the walls in their position and are adjustable so they offer the opportunity to improve and straighten the walls over time.

Guy R. is carefree because he knows his foundation walls are stable.

Allen of Edwardsville, Illinois wanted to waterproof his basement because he grew annoyed with constantly repairing wall cracks. These wall cracks developed because of the pressure of water leaks, which is called hydrostatic pressure. Allen decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call after viewing great reviews. For repair, PowerBrace beams were used to restore the failing wall. 

PowerBrace beams are heavy-duty steel beams that are installed into the wall to regain support and stability. PowerBrace beams are a permanent solution to strengthening and straightening a wall back to its original position. Now with the help of PowerBrace beams, Allen can utilize his home as extra storage space!
