Before & After Photos

A foundation wall was shifting in Carbondale, it to bow inward. To fix this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain dry and stable for years to come!

Kent and Susan T. of Gillespie, IL were worried about the ledge wall they had in their basement. It was bowing inward and cracked which allowed water to get into the basement so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors alongside a basement waterproofing system.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the ledge wall to counteract external soil pressure on the wall that was damaging it. Earth anchors were embedded in stable soil in the yard and connected to wall plates on the inside of the ledge wall with galvanized steel anchor rods. This permanently stabilizes the wall and can even straighten the wall over time by tightening the rods during dry periods.

Kent and Susan T were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. So, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Brenton K was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Juan H installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Kent and Susan’s basement. The Anchor has two ends, one will attach to a stable level of soil away from the house. The other end will attach to the basement wall. The device can be tightened and overtime will straighten the walls.
