Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation wall was bowing inward in a basement in Owaneco, IL, causing a large horizontal crack to form. To solve this issue,e 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 doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable all the time!

Support beams were failing in a basement in Mount Auburn, IL, causing the floors in the house to sag. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the basement 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 basement will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners Sarah and Samuel P. of Cambria, Illinois wanted a solution for their unstable deck support system. Before, the support beams were lopsided, holding the deck up with wooden beams. Now, the steel support beams lift and hold the weight of the deck without worry. Now, Sarah and Samuel can rest east knowing their deck is safe for their family and children.

The foundation and ledge walls of Frank V.’s Mulkeytown, IL basement were bowing inward. Cracks had formed along the cement blocks where bowing was at its worst, which allowed water to get into the basement so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. To do this, galvanized steel anchor rods are driven through the foundation walls and connected to steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard. Steel wall plates are attached to the rods on the inside of the walls and the anchors are tightened to permanently stabilize the walls in place. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors can also straighten and improve walls over time by tightening them during dry seasons.
