This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement wall was becoming unstable in a Leland Grove, IL basement, as cracks were appearing. To solve this issue, 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 and secure for years to come!

A basement in Springfield, Illinois, started having cracks appear on the foundation walls. These are most likely being caused by moving ground soils and need to be addressed before conditions worsen. Woods came out and installed the The PowerBrace System. This system consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. 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 further wall failure. With these braces in place, this home is sure to stay stable for years to come.

Jim A. of Farmersville, Illinois noticed that a few walls in his home's basement were cracking and bowing. He did not want this issue to get any worse or cause safety hazards, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Gregory B. assessed the situation and decided that wall anchors would fix the problem. Foreman Jeremy R. then traveled to the home to get the job started. The wall anchors, pictured above, are made of steel and extend from the inside walls of the home to the hard packed soil outside. They stabilize and prevent any further movement of the walls.

Jim A. no longer has to worry about his home's walls cracking or bowing. He now has safe and stable basement walls.

This Glenarm, Illinois homeowner was interested in having her outdoor retaining wall repaired. Over the years, it had become riddled with large cracks and begun to bow. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors in order to support the retaining wall. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil to steel plates on the surface of the wall, effectively pulling it outward over time.
