Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner's basement foundation in Olney, IL,  was settling, causing cracks in the walls and water to seep into the house. To fix this, the GeoLock wall anchor system was installed to stabilize the foundation and prevent wall failure. This will also seal cracks over time, keeping water from leaking into the basement.

Eugene Z was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Joshua L was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Eugene’s basement. The Anchor has two ends, one will attach to stable soil away from the house, and the other will attach to the basement wall. The device can be tightened and over time will straighten the walls.

Dave of Dundas, Illinois wanted to secure his foundation after viewing cracks and movement in the basement. He quickly called Woods Basement Systems to schedule an appointment for a permanent, stabilizing repair. Dave worked alongside a Woods' system design specialist who helped design a plan for Dave's basement repair.

Team Woods installed the Geo-Lock wall anchors into the basement walls to strengthen and stabilize the walls. Geo-Lock anchors are anchored outside of the home to pull the wall back into a stable position. This system works slowly over time to permanently realign the damaged walls. Geo-Locks are the optimal wall repair solution that will leave the homeowner happy and safe!

This house's foundation in Urbana, IL is failing due to its age. There were large cracks throughout the whole wall. Specialized GeoLock wall anchors were used, because of the extreme wall failure in this home. The cracks were filled with sealant, and will continue to be brought closer together as the wall realigns into its original position. 

Urbana, Illinois homeowner Becky was concerned about hte horizontal cracks in her basement walls. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Greg B. determined the perfect solution. 

Foreman Kevin J. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to fix Becky's walls. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were the perfect choice because they can return the wall to its original position. This will close the crakcs and prevent furture ones from forming. 

The cracks are caused by the pressure of the active soil and water around the house wanting to fill the hole that is the basement. The walls give in overtime causing bowing and leading to cracks and gaps. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors fight against this by using the Earth behind the active soil line. A steel plate is buried in the ground and a steel rod is drilled through an interior anchor, the foundation wall, and into the soil until it is attached in the anchor plate. 

Becky can now enjoy her basement knowing it will be stable for decades to come.
