Before & After Photos

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. 

Through the use of the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors installed on the walls, we are able to straighten any bowed wall. Sharon F of Fenton, MO became worried that the cracks on her basement wall may be a sign of a foundation issue with her house. Woods Basement Systems' crew was able to determine that he wall were bowing inwards. By attaching those Geo-Lock Wall Anchors from the wall to untouched soil of the earth, the walls eventually straighten themselves out and prevent any further bowing or cracking to occur

Fenton, Missouri resident MaryJane A. was concerned about her bowing foundation walls. The walls began to bow in due to high water pressure in the soil.

System design specialist Adam R. designed a solution to ease MaryJane's concerns about her foundation. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed by foreman Todd W. Geo-Lock is a permanent solution to stabilize the walls and support the foundation.
