Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in Dongola, IL, so 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 now remain stable for years to come!

This cracked house was experiencing settlement that affected the cement inside and outside, including the sidewalk! To reinforce the unstabilized home, push piers were installed in the footing to lift the foundation back into its original place. 

Support posts were failing in a basement in Lebanon, IL, causing the floors above to sink. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a basement. These add strength and stability to the existing piers. 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!

Tom and Arlene S. of Franklin, Illinois were distraught when they discovered horizontal cracks in their block foundation. Cracks not only allow water into the basement, but they are a structural concern. System Design Specialist Nolan M. inspected the foundation and determined the walls were bowing. He designed a solution to restore the walls.

Dillon L., Foreman, installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. These anchors are installed into undisturbed soil to ensure the walls are permanently supported. Geo-Lock is made of galvanized steel, so it won't rust. They anchors secure the wall and help move it to its original position.

Tom and Arlene can live comfortably in their home knowing their foundation is safe.

In Mascoutah, Missouri homeowner Stephen B. was aware that his home had foundation problems. He decided to wait and see if the problem got worse before calling someone out to help. After a construction site developed near his home he began to see more and more cracks appearing in and outside of the home. Worried what might happen, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems to solve his problem.

We sent out our foreman Jeremy Raby and his team out to Mascoutah to assess the problem. Because his home was very damaged from the foundation problems, they decided to use two of our patented foundation support solutions to lift and stabilize his home. The team installed our GeoLock system for extra support in the home. Now, Stephen never has to worry about the foundation of his home again.
