Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A basement in Edwardsville, IL, was dealing with unstable walls due to foundation settlement. This was causing safety concerns for the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PowerBrace™ was used. These custom-fit support beams are zinc-plated and are secured to the wall and floor. Now that the basement is stabilized, the homeowner can rest assured that the weight of the building can be supported. 

Crawlspace support blocks were failing in Maryville, IL, causing concern. 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! 

Homeowners in Staunton, IL were experiencing severe foundation settlement in their home which was appearing through the stair stepped cracks in the brick outside of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the Helical Piers.  These piers are meant to reinforce the foundation of the structure by connecting to the footing of the home.  By drilling deep into the soil, it allows the piers to be secure.  After the installation, it can often result in closed cracks and improved operation of the doors and windows.  After the installation, the homeowners were happy with their supported foundation on their home for years to come!

This Glen Carbon, Illinois doorway was hard to open and close. The brick had cracked because the house had dropped over an inch. Woods installed push piers to lift and stabilize the home.

A basement in Glen Carbon, Illinois, had some floor joists that were starting to fail. Woods came out and installed new support piers to help lift these sagging posts back up to their proper position. The PowerBrace System consists of custom cut steel beams that are fit to the height of the ceiling. These beams are secured to the floor and the floor joists above, lifting and stabilizing the failing foundation beams. With this install in place, the homeowner's stability concerns are alleviated.
