Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Ballwin, MO< causing cracks to form outside of the house. 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!

Cracks were forming on a basement wall in Ellisville, MO, causing the homeowners concern. To fix this, 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!

Homeowners in Ballwin, Missouri wanted to stabilize their basement ceiling and walls for increased support. To do this, Woods installed a PowerBrace System to provide increased stability. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit and installed with brackets that attach both to the wall and the floor. This design can also be tightened, allowing improvements to be made as time goes on. Thanks to the install, this basement will remain sturdy and safe for its occupants.

A basement foundation was becoming unstable in Ellisville, MO, as a large crack was forming. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

Sylvia and Terry S. had floors that were sagging above their basement. There were also large cracks forming between their walls and ceilings in the rooms above the basements. The had a metal post connected to their beam but it was not doing much to stabilize their floors so they called Woods Basement Systems.  Woods recommended installing post piers.

Post piers were installed to lift and stabilize the floors above the basement and close up the cracks between the walls and ceiling. Post Piers are steel columns that provide addition support to the floor beam above. They are adjustable so they can continue to keep the load bearing floor beam secure.
