Foundation repair specialists in Smithton
It's been 30 years since Rick and Anna Lee Woods founded Woods Basement Systems, and today the company is one of the largest foundation repair and waterproofing contractors in Missouri and Illinois, serving both residential and commercial clients. Working from a 16,000 square-foot office facility, a 30-acre property for our production teams, dozens of community and industry honors, and a growing team of dedicated professionals, Woods Basement Systems still maintains a focus on the most important aspect of our business...you. Having established a track record of quality customer service, Woods has received the Better Business Bureau's TORCH Award for Business Integrity four times. Woods also leads the industry in innovation and expertise, offering more than 24 uniquely patented products. No matter what your concern—for home or for business—Woods has the expertise to diagnose the problem and offer the best, most cost-effective solution.
"Do not use this company. First of all we had them look at our basement before we had it refinished to see if we needed a sump pump. They said that we wouldn't need one, so we refinished our basement. Then it flooded. So after we took up our less than 1 year old drywall and flooring, they came in and said "oh yeah, you need a sump pump." In June of 2024 they installed a sump pump. Then the basement flooded again, because the sump pump leaked. It took months, but finally they came back in November to "fix it". It still leaked. So they "fixed it in January of 2025" and guess what. It is still leaking. Every person that shows up is a different person and none of them have any clue what is going on. We get a different crew, different manager, different person to contact and none of them have any idea that this is the 3rd time they are fixing something. We have had our basement torn up for months now. It has been re done multiple times and each crew that redoes it has no idea what they are doing. I do not recommend this company at all. They have taken 10's of thousands of dollars from us, not to mention the 10's of thousands it will take to put the basement back together IF they ever get this fixed. At this point it would have been easier to clean up some water after a big rain every year than it would be to take care of what we have going on. Our basement is a mess, our house is a mess from jackhammering up our basement every 3 months, and we now have MORE water than when we started. And the best part is, no one has any idea how to fix it, and no one responds to us when we try to schedule anything. The customer service and lack of knowledge is absolutely astounding."

No sub-contracting, professional staff, free estimate, cost is determined by the job, lifetime transferable warranty (waterproofing systems & cracks only), accept major credit cards and personal checks.
"Brad and his crew came out to help us with water coming into our basement. They sold us on a drain system and dug a perimeter around the majority of our basement, added rocks and pipe and then sealed it back up with cement. They also installed a new sump pump in the same location as the old one. Unfortunately their system has not stopped the water coming into through the cove joint. We’ve had Brad out twice and he insists that their drain system is only designed to catch the hydrostatic water coming from underneath. The sump pump hardly ever does off, even with a flooded basement. This is not correct as a properly installed system should be catching water from the cove joint and sending it through the system in the floor and to the sump pump. I would never use or trust them again. We are out thousands of dollars and still have a flooding basement."

"Vargas and his crew did a superb job for us last week, tuck pointing our house and garage, fixing our front steps, and repairing a furnace chimney that was in bad shape. Their work was excellent and they went way beyond what we expected by fixing bad spots on the house that they noticed. The price was extremely reasonable and the crew did a nice job cleaning things up. Definitely recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for foundation repair projects in Smithton, IL
If foundation problems are not fixed, not only do repairs eventually become very costly, but it can lead to structural damage to the house above. Eventually, if the foundation problems are allowed to persist, the foundation walls can cave in or collapse. That’s after other issues like flooding and mold have likely been allowed to develop. Although not all cracks are structural problems, some can be and even if they start out small, they can develop into major problems. The earlier foundation problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the cost to repair will likely be.
Yes, foundation repairs are worth the cost at any stage to avoid a dangerous living condition. A failed foundation can lower the value of your home by up to 20%. Whether it’s the smallest problem like a thin crack less than ⅛-inch wide, a horizontal crack, a crack letting water flow through, or a wall bowing inward, repairing foundation problems as soon as possible is worth the cost. Sometimes a temporary fix can be applied until you have the budget to completely fix the problem, but the longer the problems persist, the more costly repairs may be.
The most common first signs of foundation issues include:
Cracks in the foundation walls that grow
Signs of moisture or water leaking through cracks in the foundation
Standing water in the basement
Sagging floors or walls
Cracked walls in upper floors
Doors and windows that don’t close properly anymore
Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.
If you’re noticing signs of foundation issues, the first step to fixing a foundation problem is to hire a foundation repair inspector. They will determine the problem, the cause, and the severity before recommending a course of action to repair the foundation. The method for fixing foundation problems depends on the problem and what options are available. A few possible solutions include:
Epoxy injections
Mudjacking
Piers made of steel or concrete
Jacks
Hydraulic piers
Carbon or steel reinforcement strips
Waterproofing materials
