Sagging Floors In Portageville, MO Supported With Smart Jacks
Often times, homes built above crawl spaces experience some level of floor sagging. Usually, this is the result of moisture present in the crawl space damaging and rotting floor joists. This was the case in this Portageville, Missouri home, and the owner called the experts at Woods Basement Systems. To support the floors, a Woods team began by installing PowerBrace beams underneath the rotting beams to provide a stable foundation. Affixed to these were several Smart Jack supports, each capable of supporting 60,000 pounds, that were then adjusted to level the floors.
Cracking, Bowing Thayer, IL Basement Walls Supported With GeoLock
Over the years, this Thayer, Illinois basement's walls had become badly cracked and begun to bow inward slightly. The homeowner was concerned that this damage would continue if left unaddressed, and was afraid of a potential wall collapse. After a call to Woods Basement Systems, a team arrived at the home and got to work installing several GeoLock wall supports. These work by attaching an anchor buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation to a steel plate on the interior surface of the basement wall, effectively pulling the wall outward and preventing any further damage.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Installed in New Baden, IL
New Baden, Illinois homeowner David had cracks in his poured concrete foundation walls. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Brenton developed a plan for him.
Foreman Jeremy and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The Anchors are steel rods that are drilled through the wall and the deep into the soil. They are then anchored with steel plates on both ends. This keeps the rod anchored in the dirt on one end and spreads the pressure across the wall on the other end. This pressure gives the wall the support it needs to straighten out and close any cracks.
David can now use his basement and trust his entire home is sturdy and safe.
