Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Support Installed in Madison, Illinois

This homeowner in Madison, Illinois noticed cracks along the foundation walls in their basement. They wanted to bring some additional support to the home after it had settled and aged. They decided to call Woods for a free estimate and eventually made the decision for woods to install more support into the home. Woods offer several different foundation support options for homeowners, each one custom fit for the specific home. In this basement we installed our steel support system along the floor joists above. This would help lift some of the pressure of the home off the foundation, easing the rapid settling of the house.
