Before & After Photos

Char B was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Walter C was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor in Char’s house. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to stable soil away from the house and the other will attach to the basement wall. The device can be tightened and overtime will straighten the walls.

Mark and Mitchell E. of Granite City, IL noticed stair-step cracks in the brick on the outside of their home. They became concerned, so they contacted Woods Basement Systems for an evaluation.

Design specialist Mike T. determined that foundation problems were the culprit of the cracks and proposed foundation piers as the best solution.

Foreman Jose L. and his crew installed the piers under the footing of the home as shown here, which stabilized the home. Mark and Mitchell now have a safe, secure home.

Paul from Granite City, Illinois had a cracked, bowed in foundation wall, so he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Nolan M., recommended the installation of a Geo-Lock Anchor.

Foreman, Jeremy R., installed the product. The Geo-Lock Anchor is made of galvanized steel so is will not succumb to rust over time. The anchor is placed in the ground about 12 feet away from the home and is connected with steel rods. During dry seasons, the anchors can be tightened to restore a wall back to its original position. 

Now, Paul M. can sleep easy, knowing he has a stable foundation. 

A Granite City, Illinois home had had some pervious work done by Woods. The owner was looking to sell and with potential buyers ready she needed to have the foundation walls supported better. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and Team Woods developed a plan to get her foundation ready. 

Foreman Greg and his crew installed PowerBraces to give the walls the extra support they needed. The PowerBraces are anchored at the rim joist and into the floor to give the wall the support it needs to not bow or crack. 

With our written transferable warranty Jorge and Selene could buy the home with peace of mind. 

This Granite City, Illinois home's basement walls were in bad shape. Most of them were riddled with large cracks and several were bowing inward. The homeowner was concerned that this damage might cause a collapse if it wasn't addressed, so she called Woods Basement Systems. In order to support and level the walls, a Woods team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil far away from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.
