Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was alarmed to see bowing and cracking in his basement walls, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. Design Specialist Brenton K. assessed the situation and recommended a permanent solution for the homeowner's foundation repair needs.

Foreman Jeremy R. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to stabilize and potentially straighten the walls. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod that anchors into dense, packed soil and connects to heavy duty plates for reliable, long-lasting support.

A foundation was settling in Du Quoin, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. 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!

Homeowners in Du Quoin, IL were experiencing wall failure in the basement of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems 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 ecstatic with their supported foundation for years to come!

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. 

A home in Du Quoin, IL required repair for the exterior lower-level entrance staircase walls. Our team addressed their needs by installing a wall anchor support system along both the right side of the stairwell and the north wall. Each plate and beam, visible in the example after image below, secures a rod that extends through the soil to an anchor positioned away from the foundation. This system relieves pressure on the walls, stabilizing the foundation and providing a long-lasting, permanent solution.
