Before & After Photos

Support posts were failing in a basement in Saint Louis, MO, as they were rotting and shifting. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the basement. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

A house in St. Louis, Missouri had cracks starting to appear on the walls due to a failing support system in the basement. To fix this issue, Woods installed the SmartJack System. This system stabilizes floor joists using galvanized steel posts that go deep into the ground, finding stability in the bedrock. With this solution in place, the home will be sturdy and supported for decades to come.

Rico R from St. Louis, MO was concerned about his foundation in his basement. The bricks were separating and starting to crack. Woods recommended the PowerBrace System to help permanently stabilize the foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams were custom fitted to the walls and tightly secured with brackets anchored to the floor and framing above. Rick can now rest easy knowing his foundation is stabilized. 

A basement wall was becoming unstable in Saint Louis, MO, causing cracks to form and re-appear after being sealed. To solve this issue, 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!

This basement in Saint Louis, Missouri used to have bowing walls and water seepage due to hydrostatic pressure. Woods installed wall anchors, so the walls no longer bow in and water stays out.
