Before & After Photos

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.

Homeowners in Cottage Hills had wall failure in their basement which appeared on their walls through stair-step cracking, sagging floors, and leaning walls.  To counteract that, Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock System and PowerBrace System.  Geolock works to anchor the basement walls to the dirt outside of the home.  This mechanism works to stop wall failure and straighten the wall over time.  PowerBrace is I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  The homeowners were excited to have a reinforced basement and peace of mind!
