Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in an Old Monroe, MO Basement, causing a large horizontal crack to form. To solve this issue, the 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!

Homeowner, John J. was displeased with his basement walls bowing inward so he gave Woods Basement System a call. 

After doing an inspection on the walls of the basement, system design specialist Brandon B. created a design that would ensure the homeowner safety and security. Foreman, Jeremy R. headed over to do a PowerBrace Wall Repair system installation. This system guarantees stability while also making the walls straighten over time. The PowerBrace Wall Repair system consists of steel I-beams, like the ones shown below. These steel I-beams are secured to the joists above the basement walls with steel brackets. 

John J. no longer has to worry about the safety of his home

Jackie S was concerned when she noticed that her floors were beginning to sink. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. One of our System Design Specialists was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jose L installed a Push Pier, shown above, in Jackie’s basement. The Push Pier will be driven into the ground and support the portion of the home that is sinking, and work to raise its level. 

O' Fallon, Missouri homeowner Stuart had noticed cracks in his poured concrete foundation walls. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Pete developed a plan for them. 

Foreman Malik and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors for Stuart. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are steel rods that are drilled through the wall and 12 feet into the soil. They are then anchored on both ends, giving the wall the resistance it needs to pull the wall back to its original position. 

Stuart and his family can now enjoy their basement without any worries. 

As homes age, it is not uncommon for front porches to begin sinking and sloping. This not only creates issues with the structure of the home itself, but safety issues as well. Woods Basement Systems was called to this O'Fallon, Missouri home to fix the sinking and seperating front porch. In order to do this, several Push Piers were inserted underneath the foundation and adjusted to lift the porch. These galvanized steel supports were left in place to prevent any additional sinking!
