Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in Steeleville, IL, causing large horizontal cracks to form. To solve these issues, 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 stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Steeleville, Illinois, needed some wall support work done. Cracks were starting to appear on the interior walls of the basement, indicative of a settling foundation. To address this issue, Woods came in and installed the GeoLock Anchor System. Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. With the addition of this installation, this basement will be stable for many years to come.

This Freeburg, Illinois home had a basement wall that had continued to settle and experience failure. Team Woods investigated the space to find an optimal solution for the homeowner and recommended installing Geo-Lock wall anchors into the troubled wall. The homeowner agreed, allowing Team Woods to repair the wall and protect and maintain the stability of his home for many more years to come!

With the help of Woods Basement Systems, this basement is now safe and secure. Team Woods installed Geo-Lock wall anchors along with durable PowerBrace beams into the basement walls to secure to the unstable foundation. 

Homeowners in Cottage Hills had wall failure in their basement which appeared on their walls through stair-step cracking, sagging floors, and leaning walls.  To counteract that, Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock System and PowerBrace System.  Geolock works to anchor the basement walls to the dirt outside of the home.  This mechanism works to stop wall failure and straighten the wall over time.  PowerBrace is I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  The homeowners were excited to have a reinforced basement and peace of mind!
