Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Newton, IL needed some additional support, so 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 and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Newton, IL, causing its bricks to crack and become uneven. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Homeowners in Tolono, IL were experiencing foundation settlement on their home which was appearing through stair stepped cracks on the exterior of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the Helical Piers.  These piers are meant to reinforce the foundation of the structure by connecting to the footing of the home.  By drilling deep into the soil, it allows the piers to be secure.  After the installation, it can often result in closed cracks and improved operation of the doors and windows.  The homeowners were happy with their reinforced foundation and peace of mind!

This home in Shawneetown, Illinois was dealing with some serious foundation problems. The homeowner, Mike, was worried about the unstable support system holding up the basement walls. After a few estimates, he knew Woods Basement Systems was the company he wanted to have do the job. Our foreman Jesse C. and his team came out to the home to install PushPiers. PushPiers were installed from the interior and exterior of the home, next to the footing to lift and support the foundation. The installation of PushPiers provided a permanent solution for Mike’s home.

This homeowner in Champaign, Illinois had an uneven floor above their crawlspace, due to failing supports below. Two supports had cement blocks topped with wood shivs and another board placed width-ways. This board has since buckled under the floor's pressure, forcing the homeowner to find another solution. The solution was the SmartJack™ crawlspace support system. Woods installed a support beam held by galvanized supports that hold more than 60,000 lbs. This solution returned this homeowner's floor to a horizontal position, and will prevent the floor from sagging in the future.
