Before & After Photos

A basement wall was cracking in Saint Peters, MO, so GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

A basement in Saint Peters, Missouri was showing signs of foundation failure. Cracks starting to appear on the walls needed addressed to prevent the problem from getting worse. To fix this issue, Woods came out and installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. This system consists of steel plates that are attached directly to the unsupported wall. Heavy-duty steel anchors are then buried some ways away from the home, are are connected to the plates via cables. This system can be tightened over time, closing current and future cracks. Thanks to this install, these homeowners will have a safe and secure home for years to come!

A basement in Saint Peters, Missouri, needed some stabilization to correct floor supports that were starting to fail. Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to rectify this issue. This system consists of custom-cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With these supports in place, this basement is sure to stay safe and stable for many years to come.

The cement block foundation walls of Jolene B.’s De Soto, MO were bulging and tilting inward. Stair step and horizontal cracks had formed along the seams of the blocks and were allowing water to get in so Jolene called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along with a waterproofing system.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the cracked, bulging walls. They counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. Galvanized steel anchor rods are driven through the walls and connected to steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard. Steel wall plates are attached on the inside of the foundation walls and tightened into place. They permanently stabilize walls and can even straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry periods.

A corner of a building was settling in De Soto, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!
