Before & After Photos

The support beams were cracking in a crawlspace in Hume, IL, so 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. This system will never rust or corrode, keeping the crawlspace stable and restoring peace of mind for years to come!

Allerton, Illinois homeowner Shawn M. was troubled when he discovered cracks in his block foundation. Upon inspection, System Design Specialist Greg B. determined the cracks were a result of bowing walls. Greg designed a solution.

Foreman Jeremy R. installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Geo-Lock is made of galvanized steel, so it won't corrode. These anchors are installed into undisturbed soil and provide permanent support. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors work to restore the walls to their original position.

With Geo-Lock, Shawn has peace of mind knowing his foundation is safe.

A foundation was cracking in a Robinson, IL basement, and the cracks were leaking water. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Next, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Robinson, IL, causing the house to sink and damage the sill plate. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Longview, Illnois homeowner Floyd had several cracks in multiple cinder block foundation walls of home. Concerned about the integrity of his home, he contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free foundation estimate. 

Design specialist Greg B. determined the best solution for Floyd's home would be the installation of PowerBraces along the cracked walls, which can stop further damage and potentially straighten the wall. This system involves no exterior excavation and permanently stabilizes the wall. It is one of the many customizable solutions we offer for stabilizing bowing, tipping, or buckling foundation walls. 

Floyd can now rest assured him home's foundation is stable.
