Before & After Photos

Over the years, this Pleasant Plains, Illinois home's basement walls had become badly cracked and had begun to bow inward slightly. This caused the homeowner to worry about water leaks and a possible total wall collapse. In order to reinforce the damaged walls, a Woods Basement Systems installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the walls. 

A foundation wall was becoming unstable in Girard, IL, as it was bowing inward and cracking horizontally. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

A retaining wall was bowing inward in New Berlin, IL, so GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

This Germantown, Illinois basement had two cracks in the basement caused from bowing walls. Woods Basement Systems straightened the walls with wall anchors and sealed the cracks.

A foundation was settling in Germantown, IL, so the PowerBrace and GeoLock Systems were installed. These will both help permanently stabilize the foundation wall and eliminate inward movement. The effects of wall failure will also be reversed, and the cracks will be closed to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable for years to come!
