Before & After Photos

Timothy M. found some long cracks in the foundation walls of his elderly mother’s home in Foristell, MO. He was worried the walls would get worse, even fail, if he didn’t do something so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Unstable soil conditions can put a tremendous amount of pressure on the exterior of foundation walls and damage them. Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked foundation walls to counteract the pressure. To do this, wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls were connected to earth anchors that were buried in stable conditions in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize the walls in place and prevent future damage to the walls.

Alice C was concerned about the bowing walls in her basement. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Paul W was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Alice’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 walls. The device can be tightened and will straighten the walls over time. 

Severe cracking in the exterior brickwork of a home is often a telltale sign of foundation settlement, and the longer the problem goes unsolved, the worse that cracking will get; this was the case in this Wentzville, Missouri home. The homeowner had noticed cracking for several years, and was finally ready to tackle the issue. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several Push Piers, galvanized steel beams, underneath the foundation that were then adjusted to lift it back to level and support it for the life of the structure. 

Large cracks present in a home's interior, particularly around windows and doors, are often signs of foundation settlement. This Wentzville, Missouri homeowner noticed these very signs and, fearing the worst, called the experts at Woods Basement Systems. A Woods team installed several galvanized steel Push Pier supports into the ground underneath the foundation and adjusted them to lift the home back to level.

Cracking basement walls present a problem. Aside from being unsightly, cracks often lead to water leaks and other issues. If left unchecked, even a total wall collapse, although unlikely, can occur. In order to avoid these problems, this Wentzville, Missouri homeowner gave Woods Basement Systems a call. A Woods team installed several incredibly strong, galvanized steel PowerBrace beams against his cracking walls. These supports totally prevent bowing, shifting, and any further cracking.
