Bowing walls are not a laughing matter, however they prove no obstacle for Woods Basement Systems. Our structural repair teams have placed thousands of Geo-Lock anchors in hundreds of homes and show no signs of slowing down.

We specialize in repairing many common structural issues such as bowing and buckling walls as we found in this homeowner's basement.  We also specialize in drying your basement and our technicians are keenly aware of the many water issues that can arise from a simple crack.

A foundation in Saint Louis, Mo was settling, causing large cracks to appear on the basement walls. to solve this issue, the PowerBrace system was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage.

A basement wall was bowing out in Saint Louis, MO, causing concern. 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 effectively 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!

A crawlspace in Saint Louis, Missouri, needed some stabilizing to correct signs of foundation settlement. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to address this. 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 this installation in place, this home will be stable for many years to come.
