Before & After Photos

Allen of Edwardsville, Illinois wanted to waterproof his basement because he grew annoyed with constantly repairing wall cracks. These wall cracks developed because of the pressure of water leaks, which is called hydrostatic pressure. Allen decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call after viewing great reviews. For repair, PowerBrace beams were used to restore the failing wall. 

PowerBrace beams are heavy-duty steel beams that are installed into the wall to regain support and stability. PowerBrace beams are a permanent solution to strengthening and straightening a wall back to its original position. Now with the help of PowerBrace beams, Allen can utilize his home as extra storage space!

Over time, cracks can appear in basement walls and go from tiny hairlines to huge, feet-long fractures. These large cracks can cause water leaking issues, wall bowing, and put the home at risk of a total wall collapse. Because of this, it is imperative to address wall cracking as soon as it's noticed. This Edwardsville, Illinois homeowner was facing these exact problems, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed several GeoLock wall supports in the space. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the basement walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.

This Edwardsville, Illinois home's basement walls were cracked quite badly and were bowing slightly. The homeowner was worried that, if left unchecked, this damage would cause water leak issues and possibly even lead to a total wall collapse. In order to support these walls, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors. These work by connecting a heavy anchor buried deep in the firm soil far from the foundation to steel plates on the interior surface of the walls, effectively pulling the walls outward over time. 

Patrick G was concerned about his foundation walls in his basement. They were bowing in, due to the foundation settling. To solve this issue, Woods installed GeoLock Wall Anchors. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, returning them to their original position and keeping them there. Thanks to GeoLock, the foundation will stay stable for years to come!

To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage.

Additionally, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls.
