Before & After Photos

When Ron M discovered that his basement walls were bending he knew he needed to do something. That’s why he called Woods Basement System. A System Design Specialist was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors pictured above. One side of the anchor attaches to ground away from the house, and the other attaches to the basement walls. It will then pull the walls back into place.

Water damage can be extremely detrimental to walls by breaking them down and causing them to fail. This homeowner was very concerned about the stability of her home and requested for Woods Basement Systems to secure her failing walls. Team Woods installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to permanently lock and position the walls in a safe and sturdy state. 

In Morrison, Illinois homeowner Gary C. was aware that his home had foundation problems. He decided to wait and see if the problem got worse before calling someone out to help. After a construction site developed near his home he began to see more and more cracks appearing in and outside of the home. Worried what might happen, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems to solve his problem.

We sent out our foreman Jeremy R. and his team out to Morrison, IL to assess the problem. Because his home was very damaged from the foundation problems, they decided to use two of our patented foundation support solutions to lift and stabilize his home. The team installed our PowerBrace and GeoLock  systems for extra support in the home. Now, Gary never has to worry about the foundation of his home again.

Homeowners in Morrisonville, IL had walls that were bowing and cracking in their basement, which was due to foundation settlement.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the PowerBrace System.  This system is I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  The homeowners were happy with their new systems and reinforced walls for years to come!

Stair-step cracking in the brickwork outside may be an indicator of a settling foundation problem.  We take careful measurement to determine the proper number of piers needed to stop a settling foundation.  Our Foundation SupportWorks® push piers come with a written, transferable warranty. These homeowners noticed a crack in their Centralia, Illinois home and decided to contact Woods to help repair and stabilize their home!
