Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Champaign, Illinois had an uneven floor above their crawlspace, due to failing supports below. Two supports had cement blocks topped with wood shivs and another board placed width-ways. This board has since buckled under the floor's pressure, forcing the homeowner to find another solution. The solution was the SmartJack™ crawlspace support system. Woods installed a support beam held by galvanized supports that hold more than 60,000 lbs. This solution returned this homeowner's floor to a horizontal position, and will prevent the floor from sagging in the future.

Sofia and Henry M were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were bowing. So, they 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 Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Sofia and Henry’s basement. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to a stable level of soil away from the house. The other end will attach to the basement wall. The Device can be tightened and will be able to straighten the walls over time.

Brian and Dana M. of Champaign, Illinois were concerned with their bowing foundation walls. As the walls bowed under pressure, they began to crack and allowed water to leak into their basement.

System design specialist Greg B. designed a solution to support their foundation and keep their basment dry. Foreman Mason S. and his crew installed PowerBrace. The PowerBrace support system supports the foundation while straightening the walls over time.

Mason and his team also waterproofed the basement with WaterGuard and TripleSafe. Brian and Dana are pleased to know their foundation is safe and their basement will stay dry.

A foundation was settling in Champaign, IL, causing stair-like cracks to form on the walls. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. The cracks will also be closed. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Champaign, IL, causing it to crack. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back towards its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!
