Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Sinking foundations are a homeowner’s nightmare. If the problem is not fixed soon then it can get worse, fast. That’s why Dan and Verma S called Woods Basements Systems. System Design Specialist Brandon B was able to come up with a plan for them.

Foreman Joshua B installed a SmartJack under the sinking portion of the house. A SmartJack is a device that will take the weight of the house and prevent it from sinking any further. 

Kathy P. of Flora, Illinois noticed that a few walls in her home's basement were cracking and bowing. She did not want the problem to get worse, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Jacob K. assessed the situation and decided that the perfect solution was to install wall anchors. Foreman Jeremy R. then traveled to the home to get the job started. The steel wall anchors, pictured above, extend from the inside walls of the home to the hard packed soil outside. These anchors help prevent further movement and stabilize the walls.

Kathy P. no longer has to worry about the walls in her home cracking and bowing. She now has stable and safe basement walls.

Flora, Illinois homeowner Stephen noticed his basement walls were bowing and causing his basement to be wet. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke K. developed a plan for Stephen. 

One part of the plan, was to install Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Foreman Miguel O. and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, which go behind the active soil line to provide the resistance the wall needs to fight the pressure of the soil around it. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors can straighten walls over time. During the process, the cracks are closed and other problems can be avoided. 

Through his system, Stephen J. gets to enjoy a dry and stable basement for decades to come. 

A foundation was bowing inward in Flora, IL, causing cracks to appear and leak water. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Next, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and stable for years to come!

Kelly H was concerned when she noticed that her basement walls were beginning to bow. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Brandon B was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jose L installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Kelly’s basement. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to the basement walls. The device can be tightened and overtime will be able to straighten the walls.
