Before & After Photos

The leaking diagonal crack was the proof this St. Peters, Missouri homeowner needed to call a professional in to fix the bowing wall.  They said the two cracks were there from the time they moved in but never leaked, even with all the rain in 2005.  The wall shifted another 1/2 inch since then, so we installed our wall anchoring system to stop it from shifting.

Mike E was concerned about the sinking floors in his basement. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Jeremy R was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jose L installed a Push Pier, shown above, in Mike’s basement. The Push Pier will be driven into a stable level of soil. The device will support the section of the house that is sinking, and work to raise it back to its original level.

This St. Peters, Missouri home was showing tell-tale signs of settling: sticking doors and windows and cracks in the cieling, just to name a few. The homeowner called Woods Basement Systems for help, and a team installed several Push Piers underneath the foundation in order to lift and level it. These supports will remain for support for the life of the structure.

This home in St. Peters, MO. had previously hired Woods Basement Systems to install wall anchors to protect the foundation walls from cracking and bowing inward. These wall anchors work by pulling an interior plate toward an anchor buried outside. This pulling force supports the wall permanently and can be used to straighten walls that have become bent inward in the middle. 

Recently, Mike B. from Woods Basement Systems visited this home to inspect the waterproofing and wall anchor systems. Maintenance inspections like this would offer the opportunity to tighten the wall anchor systems to help futher straighten the wall if needed. While that wasn't required during this check, Mike B. was able to add covers to the low profile wall anchor plates. These plates are thin enough to be hidden behind finished walls or furniture items. In this case, since neither were present, a simple cover was installed that would hide the unsightly plate from view but still offer access to maintenance crews if needed.

During his routine maintenance inspection, Mike B. was still able to accomodate the requests of the homeowners and live up to the Woods Basement Systems team's goal; To ensure every customer has a remarkable experience.

In Saint Peters, Missouri homeowner Dave M. was concerned about the foundation of his home. In his basement, the foundation walls were covered in large cracks running diagonally on the surface. A few years before, he had gotten the cracks filled, thinking he had fixed the problem once and for all. Unfortunately, the foundation problem was much worse than he had thought. Recently, he had been finding more cracks around his home near doors and windows and weak spots in the home. Worried and concerned about what this would mean for his home in the future, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems.
