Before & After Photos

Richard of Belle Rive, Illinois discovered several cracks in his brick foundation. A Woods Basement Systems System Design Specialist concluded that the cracks were a result of bowing walls. Increased water pressure in the soil caused the walls to bow in and crack.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to restore the walls to their original position and provide permanent support. To give the basement a finished look, Wall covers were installed over the anchors. 

A foundation wall was bowing inward in a basement in Owaneco, IL, causing a large horizontal crack to form. To solve this issue,e the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. 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 foundation will now remain stable all the time!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Vandalia, IL, creating a damp environment and causing mold to grow. Support blocks were also sinking and shifting, causing the beams to sink and crack. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

This basement in Vandalia, IL was suffering from buckling foundation walls due to pressure from the outside soil. GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed to hold the foundation walls in place. These can be further tightened as well, so even during dry seasons this happy customer's walls won't budge.
