Before & After Photos

This Dow, Illinois home had cracking walls due to foundation settling. Woods Basement Systems installed a system to repair the crack and wall anchors to ensure that the wall doesn't bow in further and even revert the wall to its original shape. Woods Basement Systems can repair foundation problems using the various foundation repair systems at its disposal from anchors to piers.

Andrea C. of Dow, Illinois noticed that a couple walls in her home's basement were bowing and cracking. She did not want to ignore the problem and allow it to get worse, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Bruce S. assessed the situation and decided that the installment of a couple wall anchors would fix the homeowner's problems. Foreman Caleb C. then traveled to the home to get the job started. The wall anchors, pictured above, extended from the inside walls of the home to the hard packed soil outside. The anchors stabilize and prevent further movement of the walls.

Andrea C. no longer has to worry about her home's walls bowing. She now has stable and safe walls.

A foundation was cracking in a Dow, IL basement, causing other issues. To solve this problem, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was severely unstable in Dupo, IL, and was blowing inward. Along with cracking, water was also leaking out of it. To solve all these issues, the PowerBrace System was first 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. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the WaterGuard System, which will catch any water that leaks down the wall and drain it to the sump pump system to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
