A crawlspace in Staunton, Illinois, had some stabilization issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to fix these. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time which allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this install placed, this crawlspace will be stable for many years into the future.
This homeowner was worried about the safety of her home due to the water leaks that had damaged her walls. The water overtime had weakened the walls, so she needed a solution to save the basement. Team Woods installed several PowerBraces throughout the home to strengthen the walls and regain a safe environment.
A foundation was becoming unstable in Marissa, IL, as it was bowing inward and cracking horizontally. 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 now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
A retaining wall was bowing inward in New Berlin, IL, so GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!
Over the years, this Pleasant Plains, Illinois home's basement walls had become badly cracked and had begun to bow inward slightly. This caused the homeowner to worry about water leaks and a possible total wall collapse. In order to reinforce the damaged walls, a Woods Basement Systems installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the walls.
