A foundation was becoming unstable in Lincoln, IL, as horizontal cracks were appearing. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was 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!
Support blocks were sinking in a crawlspace in Ashley, IL, causing the floors in the house to become uneven. To solve this issue, 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 and restore peace of mind for years to come!
Bowing, tilting and cracking in foundation walls are signs of damage from pressure of unstable soil on the outside of the walls. If these problems are left unchecked, walls may fail causing even worse problems. Rich M. of Makanda, IL had bowing and cracked walls so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.
Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the bowing and cracked walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the external pressure on the walls by connecting steel earth anchors, that have been embedded in more stable soil in the yard, to steel wall plates on the inside of the walls using galvanized steel anchor rods. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls in the position they are in and can even straighten walls in most cases by tightening the anchors during dry periods.
Support blocks were sinking in a crawlspace in Irvington, IL, causing the support beams to shift. To solve these issues, 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 and secure for years to come!
A foundation was bowing inward in Dongola, IL, so the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come!
