Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in a Roodhouse, IL basement, causing a large horizontal crack to form. To solve this issue, 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 and secure for years to come!

Deric C. of Columbia, Illinois was troubled by his bowing foundation walls. As the walls bowed under pressure, they cracked and allowed water to enter his basement. 

System design specialist Rob C. designed a solution. Jeremy R., foreman, installed PowerBrace to support the foundation and straighten the walls over time. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed where access to undisturbed soil was available. In addition to the foundation support, Deric's basement was waterproofed with WaterGuard.

This homeowner from Columbia, Illinois, noticed that the main floor in her room was sinking. System design specialist, Nelson M., worked with Judy to designed a customized plan that would stabilize and level her crawl space ceiling. 

Head foreman, Michael R., worked with his team to install several SmartJacks around the crawl space. SmartJacks are a permanent stabilizer that supports and levels the foundation. Thanks to Team Woods, Mary now has a stable and level foundation!

A retaining wall in Columbia, Illinois, started showing signs of displacement and failure. To address the homeowner's concerns, Woods came and installed steel supports for the wall.

With the GeoLock Wall 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 this install in place, this wall will be stable for decades to come.

A retaining wall was shifting in East Carondelet, IL, causing concern. To fix this, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the wall for good!
