Before & After Photos

Effingham, Illinois homeowner Sue had cracks in her basement. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke B. determined the problems and developed the plan for Sue. 

Foreman Miguel and his crew installed the dual system, which included the Push Piers and the PowerBraces. The Push Piers go underground to lift the home. The PowerBraces go in the basement to provide extra support the beams need to keep floors and walls sturdy. 

Sue can now trust her home will be safe for decades to come. 

This homeowner in Effingham, IL, had a crawlspace suffering from sagging ceilings and insufficient support. The archaic stack of bricks was tilting, missing bricks, and didn't look like it would last much longer. To replace them, the SmartJack support system was installed, which will hold up the ceiling much more efficiently for years to come, giving the customer peace of mind. 

A basement wall was failing in Effingham, IL, causing cracks to form. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to permanently stabilize a home’s foundation. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A crawlspace wall was bowing in and cracking in Effingham, IL, causing concern. To fix this, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time.  This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize it for good!

They are secured to the wall and floor and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure.
