Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, needed some stabilizing work done. The previously placed supports were no longer providing the proper stabilization for the floor joists above. 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. Thanks to Woods, this crawlspace will be stabilized for decades to come.

A foundation was settling in Barnhart, MO, causing the wall of the garage to separate from it. To solve this issue, the Push Pier system was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. the garage gap will also be closed. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Helical anchors have been used by Woods Basement Systems to stabilize foundation and retaining walls like this home in Fenton, Missouri for years because of their effectiveness.  Helical anchors are widely accepted and used by engineers, architects, and contractors to stabilize bowing basement walls. In fact, in 1992, wall anchor systems were identified by a Chief Appraiser for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as the most effective means of stabilizing bowing foundation walls.

This basement in Fenton, Missouri used to have bowing walls and water seepage. Since Woods installed wall anchors, the walls no longer bow, and the leaks have stopped.

Mud that gets in with the water in a leaky basement may be due to another potentially serious problem, a settling footing.  Interior drywall cracks or doors and windows not properly working may not have occured yet but will unless the root problem is addressed.  Our Foundation SupportWorks® push piers can get to the root of the problem.  On the interior of the basement we jackhammer through the floor and place the pier brackets beneath the foundation wall footing lifting it back into place.
