Before & After Photos

Flora, Illinois homeowner Stephen noticed his basement walls were bowing and causing his basement to be wet. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke K. developed a plan for Stephen. 

One part of the plan, was to install Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Foreman Miguel O. and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, which go behind the active soil line to provide the resistance the wall needs to fight the pressure of the soil around it. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors can straighten walls over time. During the process, the cracks are closed and other problems can be avoided. 

Through his system, Stephen J. gets to enjoy a dry and stable basement for decades to come. 

A Foundation wall was failing in a Jeffersonville, IL basement, as it was bowing inward and cracking. To solve this issue, specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Bethany, Illinois, needed some new supports as the current ones were beginning to fail. Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to offer increased support for the floor joists above. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this install in place, this basement will be stable for years into the future.

Cracks and bowing foundation walls can seriously devalue a home and might scare off potential buyers for the home. Adam S. was worried about the cracks in his walls when putting his home up for sale so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the crack walls. Earth anchors are embedded into the yard and connected to wall plates on the inside of the walls by steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize walls and restore value to the home.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to fix this leaned in wall in Altamont, IL. Because the wall anchors are attached to a steel rod at the wall plate and will provide pressure to straighten out the wall.
