Gregory and Corrine H. of Rantoul, Illinois had found signs of foundation settlement around their home. The walls on their basement were cracked, cracks were forming near windows and doors and on the ceiling. Concerned and unsure what to do, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Woods is not only a waterproofing expert, but they repair foundation problems, seal crawlspaces, etc.
We sent our foreman Lucas Bockhorn and his team out to the home to install our patented PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace system is designed to permanently stabilize your home’s foundation. It supports basement walls and allows for straightening over time. Now that the PowerBrace system was installed, the homeowners were stable and supported.
When bricks on the exterior or interior of your home shift creating cracks, this signals that foundation settlement is present. A permanent solution to this issue is by installing push piers into the footing of the foundation. Push piers lift and lock the foundation back into place to safely restore a troubled foundation.
