Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Over the years, several of these Mt. Vernon, Illinois basement's walls had become badly cracked. The homeowner worried that, if left unchecked, this damage might eventually cause a total wall collapse. In order to reinforce the walls and put the homeowner's mind at ease, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the damaged walls, effectively pulling them outward and straightening them over time. 

A foundation in a Mount Vernon, IL basement was bowing inward, causing large horizontal cracks to appear. If not treated, these cracks will begin to leak water, 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 and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Water damage can be extremely detrimental to walls by breaking them down and causing them to fail. This homeowner was very concerned about the stability of her home and requested for Woods Basement Systems to secure her failing walls. Team Woods installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to permanently lock and position the walls in a safe and sturdy state. 

When Ron M discovered that his basement walls were bending he knew he needed to do something. That’s why he called Woods Basement System. A System Design Specialist was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors pictured above. One side of the anchor attaches to ground away from the house, and the other attaches to the basement walls. It will then pull the walls back into place.

A foundation was cracking in Marion, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were 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. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!
