Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Du Bois, IL were experiencing wall failure in the basement of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  This system works to stabilize the wall by effectively connecting it to the outside soil of the home.  This strengthens the foundation walls and stops the wall failure in its tracks.  The homeowners were excited to have their home stabilized and to have peace of mind!

Support blocks were crumbling in a crawlspace in Simpson, IL, and this was causing the floors in the house to sink. To solve this issue, 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 will restore peace of mind for years to come!

This Waggoner, Illinois home was in the process of being renovated and had very badly damaged and weak floor joists. These joists needed to be addressed before anything, so the property owner gave Woods Basement Systems a call. A Woods team installed several Smart Jacks, each capable of supporting 60,000 pounds, underneath the floor joists to lift and support them. 

A crawlspace in Beckemeyer, Illinois, needed some stabilization work done. The old supports were starting to fail, and substitute supports can be seen. These are not adequate and need to be replaced with steel piers. Woods came out and did just that. The SmartJack 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 crawlspace will remain stable for many years to come.

Nate of Herrin, Illinois knew that he needed to fix his crawl space stability since when he first noticed structural damage, he tried to fix the problem himself with cement blocks. After given the recommendation of SmartJacks, Team Woods went straight to work installing the new SmartJacks.

The SmartJack Stabilizers are made out of galvanized steel that will both stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. This strong support system is able to hold more than 60,000 pounds and will never rust or chip. Thanks to the work of Team Woods, Nate couldn't have been happier with his new crawl space!
