Before & After Photos

When Kim and Rick W discovered that their basement walls were bowing they knew they needed to do something quickly. So they called Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Chris S was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed the GeoLock wall anchor that you see above. The anchor attaches to an area away from the house and also to the basement walls, and will pull the walls back to where they are supposed to be.

Dustee of Edwardsville, Illinois struggled with damaged walls that risked the structure and overall safety of his home. Dustee gave Woods Basement Systems a call to see what his best solution would be. He spoke with system design specialist, Simba T., who customized a solution for his damaged walls. The final solution for Dustee was to use PowerBraces on the wall to bring back support and stability to a failing wall. Thankfully, now Dustee can have peace of mind knowing that with these strong, steel beams his basement will remain stable for years to come. 

Allen of Edwardsville, Illinois wanted to waterproof his basement because he grew annoyed with constantly repairing wall cracks. These wall cracks developed because of the pressure of water leaks, which is called hydrostatic pressure. Allen decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call after viewing great reviews. For repair, PowerBrace beams were used to restore the failing wall. 

PowerBrace beams are heavy-duty steel beams that are installed into the wall to regain support and stability. PowerBrace beams are a permanent solution to strengthening and straightening a wall back to its original position. Now with the help of PowerBrace beams, Allen can utilize his home as extra storage space!

Over time, cracks can appear in basement walls and go from tiny hairlines to huge, feet-long fractures. These large cracks can cause water leaking issues, wall bowing, and put the home at risk of a total wall collapse. Because of this, it is imperative to address wall cracking as soon as it's noticed. This Edwardsville, Illinois homeowner was facing these exact problems, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed several GeoLock wall supports in the space. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the basement walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.
