Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Mary E is worried about the support in her crawlspace. It seems to be failing, causing multiple problems in the house. The floors are sloping, and cracks are appearing in the ceiling and walls. 

Michael R and his crew installed The SmartJack System to support the beams and joists in the crawlspace. This will resolve the problems in the house, such as the sloping floors and the cracks. A CleanSpace liner was also installed to isolate the crawlspace from the earth. This will also prevent water vapor from entering, keeping the crawlspace clean and dry. Mary can now relax knowing her crawlspace is stabilized!

This Farina, Illinois homeowner was confronted with a nightmare when one his foundation walls totally collapsed inward. His basement filled with dirt and rubble, and his home became exposed to the elements. He needed fast, professional help, and Woods Basement Systems answered the call. A Woods team first built a new foundation wall out of concrete blocks. After this, GeoLock wall supports were installed on each wall in the basement. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates on the interior surface of the walls, effectively pulling them outward over time. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to fix this leaned in wall in Altamont, IL. Because the wall anchors are attached to a steel rod at the wall plate and will provide pressure to straighten out the wall. 

When Rebecca and Thomas C.'s walls began to bow in their basement, they were concerned. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed by Woods Basement Systems' Foreman James L. Now that the walls are straightened, it should prevent some water seapage. However, this basement could benefit from the installation of our waterproofing system.

Support blocks in a crawlspace located in Altamont, Illinois were starting to fail and needed a solution. To fix this issue, Woods installed The SmartJack System. This system consists of galvanized steel beams that replace the support blocks to better support the floors and frame above. The SmartJack System also addresses unstable foundation soil by creating a solid base of engineered fill on which to set the SmartJacks on top of. Thanks to Woods and the SmartJack System, this crawlspace will remain securely supported for decades to come!
