Before & After Photos

This elevated Grafton, Illinois porch was badly sagging. The porch was about 12 feet off of the ground and, over the years, the posts had begun to fail under the strain of regular use. A Woods Basement Systems team reinforced the porch by installing several SmartJacks underneath it. These adjustable supports are capable of holding 60,000 pounds each, and totally prevent any sagging or movement. 

A porch to a raised home in Grafton, IL was sagging and the current support posts were failing, so Woods installed the SmartJack System. This will stabilize the beams under the porch, as well as the floor joists. these will lift the porch floors back to their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This porch will remain stable for years to come!

Support blocks in a Festus, MO crawlspace were failing, causing the floors in the house to sag. To fix this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize crawlspace beams and joints and lift the floors above the crawlspace back to their original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners in Festus, MO were experiencing foundation settlement in their home which was appearing through stair stepped cracks.  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 for years to come!

Chester M. of Herculaneum, MO had a severely bowing foundation wall in his basement. He contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free consulation and design specialist Mike T. determined Geo-Lock Channel Anchors were the best solution. Foreman Jeremy R. and crew installed Geo-Lock Channel Anchors and stablized the foundation of the home. Chester can now rest assured his home's foundation walls will bow no more.
