A crawlspace in Du Quoin, Illinois, had some stability issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to fix these. This system consists of custom cut steel rods that are set in galvanized fill. Pushing up against the floor beams, the rods offer increased support for the home. They can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments without another costly install. With this system in place, this crawlspace is now stable once again.
A home in Du Quoin, IL required repair for the exterior lower-level entrance staircase walls. Our team addressed their needs by installing a wall anchor support system along both the right side of the stairwell and the north wall. Each plate and beam, visible in the example after image below, secures a rod that extends through the soil to an anchor positioned away from the foundation. This system relieves pressure on the walls, stabilizing the foundation and providing a long-lasting, permanent solution.

This will restore peace of mind for years to come!
A foundation was bowing out in a Nokomis, IL basement, causing cracks to appear. 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 requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come!
Support blocks were failing to support a crawlspace in Cobden, IL, 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 for years to come!
