Before & After Photos

Jeffrey V was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow and crack. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Gregory B was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Bradly P installed a PowerBrace Assembly in Jeffrey’s basement. The Brace is a system of large metal beams that will attach to the walls and keep them from bowing any further than they already have. They will also be able to straighten the walls over time.

As homes age, it is not uncommon for floors to begin to sag above crawl spaces, and this Charleston, Illinois home was no different. In order to lift the floors and support them further, two Smart Jacks were installed in the crawl space under the floor joists. These jacks are capable of holding over 60,000 pounds apiece! 

A foundation was bowing inward in Charleston, IL, causing large horizontal cracks to appear and leak water. 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 forever remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Wall support was failing in a basement in Albion, IL, as the wall was continuing to shift. To solve this issue, Specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. 

A foundation was still cracking after being sealed in Greenup, IL, causing concern. 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 remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
