Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Thayer, IL had cracks forming on the walls of their basement indicating signs of wall failure.  After reaching out to Woods Basement Systems, they soon had a solution.  Our team installed the PowerBrace System, which are I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  The homeowners were happy with their supported walls in their basement for years to come!

Over the years, this Thayer, Illinois basement's walls had become badly cracked and begun to bow inward slightly. The homeowner was concerned that this damage would continue if left unaddressed, and was afraid of a potential wall collapse. After a call to Woods Basement Systems, a team arrived at the home and got to work installing several GeoLock wall supports. These work by attaching an anchor buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation to a steel plate on the interior surface of the basement wall, effectively pulling the wall outward and preventing any further damage.

New Baden, Illinois homeowner David had cracks in his poured concrete foundation walls. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Brenton developed a plan for him. 

Foreman Jeremy and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The Anchors are steel rods that are drilled through the wall and the deep into the soil. They are then anchored with steel plates on both ends. This keeps the rod anchored in the dirt on one end and spreads the pressure across the wall on the other end. This pressure gives the wall the support it needs to straighten out and close any cracks. 

David can now use his basement and trust his entire home is sturdy and safe. 

A foundation wall was shifting in Virden, IL, causing the planks on the wall to move. 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. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Virden, IL, causing cracks to form outside of the house. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!
