Before & After Photos

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.

This Granite City, Illinois homeowner was having issues with severe wall cracks in his basement. He was concerned that, if left unchecked, the walls may eventually fall in. In order to reinforce the walls, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the damaged walls, effectively pulling them outward over time.

Over the years, this Granite City, Illinois driveway had become quite badly cracked. This was because much of the supporting soil had washed away due to rain, causing the slabs to no longer be able to support their own weight. In order to repair the damage, a Woods Basement Systems team used PolyLevel. This expanding composite foam was injected under the damaged slabs in order to raise them and fill in the cracks. Because PolyLevel is quick-drying, the driveway was ready to be driven on in just 30 minutes!
