Before & After Photos

Tilting and cracking in foundation walls can drive down a home’s value and scare off potential buyers. Dan Casey knew this so when he was representing a Ballwin, MO property that had cracking, tilting foundation walls that were also damaging the finished walls over them, he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Along the foundation walls, galvanized steel anchor rods were driven through the walls and connected to earth anchors embedded in stable soil in the yard and to steel wall plates on the inside of the walls. They permanently stabilize the walls in place, restoring value to the home. They can also straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry conditions.

When homeowner Glenn G. discovered his basement walls were bowing inward, he gave Woods Basement System a call.

Our system design specialist went over to do an inspection and created a design that would create stability for the basement walls. Foreman, Jeremy R. did a Geo-lock Wall Anchor installation. What this system does is permanently stabilize homes while also making the basement walls straight. No heavy equipment is involved with this installation which makes this the most simple and quickest solution for bowing walls.

As seen in the picture above, the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor will guarantee a restored and secure home.

As homes age and foundations shift, basement walls often start to crack and bow inward. Although cracks themselves are not hugely concerning, they can lead to serious problems, from water leaks to collapsing walls. This Wildwood, Missouri homeowner wanted to head off his cracking issues before they got any worse, so he called Woods Basement Systems. A Woods team installed several incredibly strong PowerBrace beams flush against the surface of the walls to totally prevent bowing, cracking, and collapse. The homeowner no longer needs to worry!
