Before & After Photos

A foundation was becoming unstable in Foristell, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A basement in Foristell, Missouri, was starting to show signs of foundation failure. Cracks were beginning to appear on the interior walls of the home, most likely due to foundation settlement. Woods came in and installed external support piers to address this issue. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home will be stable for many years to come!

A foundation was bowing inward in Villa Ridge, MO, causing large cracks to appear. To solve this issue, there 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 remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was cracking in Lonedell, MO, and water was leaking out of the cracks and pooling onto the floor. To solve these issues, GeoLock Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation and prevent it from settling any further. The cracks will also be closed so no more water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Pressure from soil can cause damage to foundation walls over time and cause them to tilt, bow and crack. In Rose Ann H.’s case, the garage of her Moscow Mill, MO home was partially underground. The earth on the outside of the wall shown in the before picture had put pressure on it and caused it to tilt in at the top and form cracks on the ceiling of her garage so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the soil pressure by embedding earth anchors in more stable soil in the yard and connecting them to steel wall plates in the inside of the walls shown in the after picture, using steel anchor rods. The anchor rods are tightened to permanently stabilize the walls and prevent future tilting and damage. The anchor rods can also be tightened during dry weather conditions for the opportunity to straighten the wall.
