Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Du Quoin, Illinois, had some stability issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to fix these. This system consists of custom cut steel rods that are set in galvanized fill. Pushing up against the floor beams, the rods offer increased support for the home. They can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments without another costly install. With this system in place, this crawlspace is now stable once again. 

Du Quoin, IL homeowner John noticed horizontal and stair step cracks around the entire perimeter of his basement walls. This concerned him becasue the area was used by his family in a variety of ways. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Brenton K. developed a plan to fix the walls. 

Foreman Jeremy R. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors on each wall to pull the walls back to straight. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are made of steel so they will not rust. The rods are anchored to steel plates behind the active soil surrounding the house. The rods provide resistance and over time can be tightened to bring the wall back to its original position. 

John L. now has piece of mind that his walls will not bow anymore and the area will be drier. 

A foundation was settling in Nokomis, IL, causing problems with the front door. To solve this issue, The Push Pier System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. Any cracks will also be closed, and the function of the door will be improved. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was bowing out in a Nokomis, IL basement, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come!

Support blocks were failing to support a crawlspace in Cobden, IL, so the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!
