Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Chrisman, Illinois, had some stability issues. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to give the floor joists increased support. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building and can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With these piers installed, the homeowners no longer have to worry about the stability of their crawlspace.

Cracks in exterior brickwork, floors, and interior walls are often signs of foundation settlement. This Tilton, Illinois homeowner noticed all three of these signs in his house, and he called Woods Basement Systems before the problem could get any worse. 

A Woods Team installed several galvanized steel Push Piers underneath the home before adjusting them to lift and support the foundation. This home is no longer sinking and no longer at risk for significant structural damage!

A crawlspace in Danville, IL, was unstable and causing safety concerns for the homeowner. To solve this issue, SmartJack™ stabilizers were put in place. These custom cut steel beams will help to evenly distribute the weight of the home and can be adjusted over time, as needed. Now that the crawlspace is stabilized, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is in good shape! 

A home in Marshall, Illinois, had a foundation that was starting to show signs of settlement. This happens when ground soils heat up and shrink, or when heavy rains erode away the ground soils. To address this issue, Woods came out and installed the Push Pier System to stabilize the foundation. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Support blocks in a Marshall, IL crawlspace were failing, as they were sinking into the ground. 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!
