Before & After Photos

An epoxy wall crack repair in this Granite City, Illinois home started leaking again and the homeowner could not locate the company who did the original work to see if it was still covered under a warranty, so they contacted Woods Basement Systems, and they were happy they did! Our  crack repair product comes with a written, transferable warranty for the life of the repair.

The crack and settling wedge of this Granite City, Illinois foundation was caused by a waterproofing system (BOX Drain Tile) that let mud and water get into the sump pump and overtime undermined the footing holding up that wedge of concrete.  We installed a push pier to close the gap.

This Granite City, Illinois foundation wall bowed in 8 inches - you can see the point where the wall stopped along the "red" I-Beam.

We did an outside excavation to open up the space we needed to pull the basement wall back.  ALL parts of our wall anchoring system are galvanized.  Notice the "red" I-Beam and the scrapping too a lighter color looking like orange, showing the 8 inches we pull it back.

Pressure from soil on the foundation walls of a basement can cause the walls to bow, lean and crack.  Cheryl S. noticed cracks and areas where parts of her wall had crumbled away so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along Cheryl’s cracking walls. Steel wall plates are connected to anchor rods that are driven through the wall and attach to earth anchors in the yard. They are tightened to permanently stabilize the walls and can straighten walls in most cases.

Cheryl S. is glad to know her walls are safe from any future damage and are stable.

Richard B. of Granite City, IL had tried patching the cracks in their foundation walls but new ones kept forming. He was worried that might mean there was a larger underlying issue so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors that were installed along the crack walls will permanently stabilize the walls in position by counteracting pressure on the outside of the walls that causes cracking and tilting. Over time, the walls can be straightened by tightening them during dry periods.
