Before & After Photos

Settling foundations are fairly common, but that does not mean that they should be accepted. Some telltale signs that a foundation is settling are cracking exterior brickwork, sticking doors and windows, and cracking floors. This Greenville, Illinois home was experiencing all of these symptoms, and the homeowner called Woods Basement Systems out of concern. A Woods team installed several Push Piers underneath the foundation before adjusting them to lift and level it. These piers will remain for the life of the structure to provide support.

A foundation in Greenville, IL was settling, causing cracks to appear and the walls to bow inward. To solve this issue, Woods installed the PowerBrace System. This will help permanently stabilize the foundation.  These will eliminate any further inward movement, and reverse the effects of wall failure. They will also straighten the walls back to their original position and close the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable for years to come!

Homeowners in Greenville, IL were experiencing foundation settlement in their home and needed a solution.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the Helical Piers.  These piers are meant to reinforce the foundation of the structure by connecting to the footing of the home.  By drilling deep into the soil, it allows the piers to be secure.  After the installation, it can often result in closed cracks and improved operation of the doors and windows.  The homeowners were happy with their supported foundation and peace of mind for years to come!

A home in Rochester, Illinois, had a foundation that was starting to settle. Cracks started to appear on the exterior walls of the home, indicating moving ground soils. Woods came out and installed some new supports to rectify the issue. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home should be stable for decades into the future.

A foundation was bowing inward in Williamsville, IL, causing a large horizontal crack to appear and leak water. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. Over time and with adjustment, 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. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!
