Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Du Quoin, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. 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!

A crawlspace in Du Quoin, Illinois, had some stability issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to fix these. This system consists of custom cut steel rods that are set in galvanized fill. Pushing up against the floor beams, the rods offer increased support for the home. They can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments without another costly install. With this system in place, this crawlspace is now stable once again. 

This homeowner needed a solution to prevent her basement walls from cracking. She reached out to Woods Basement Systems and had a specialist look over the walls to see what an optimal solution would be. 

The specialist recommended installing push piers into the footing of the basement walls to lift and stabilize the walls back into place. Woods' push piers are made out of durable, galvanized steel that is pushed into the footing of the basement, and they are designed to lock and lift the settled foundation. 

Support beams were failing in a basement in Nashville, IL, as they were shifting and causing the floor above to sink. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the basement. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

Homeowners Sarah and Samuel P. of Cambria, Illinois wanted a solution for their unstable deck support system. Before, the support beams were lopsided, holding the deck up with wooden beams. Now, the steel support beams lift and hold the weight of the deck without worry. Now, Sarah and Samuel can rest east knowing their deck is safe for their family and children.
