Before & After Photos

A foundation was becoming unstable in abasement in Granite City, IL, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come! 

Support blocks in a Kennett, MO crawlspace were sinking into the dirt ground, causing the support beams to shift. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!

This basement is Hartford, Illinois used to have bowing walls and water seepage. Woods installed wall anchors to straighten the walls and repair the foundation.

Rodney J and Ralph A were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. That’s why they called Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Kevin E was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jose L installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above. The wall anchor will attach to the basement wall and also attach to a stable level of soil away from the house and will pull the walls back into place and keep them stable.

Over time, it is not uncommon for foundation walls to begin cracking and bowing under pressure. However, these are not benign issues and it is very important to take action before they can get worse. This Hartford, Illinois homeowner contacted Woods Basement Systems and a team quickly installed several steel PowerBrace supports against the walls to totally halt any bowing.
