Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Foundation settling problems can be accomplished by placing the Foundation SupportWorks® pier bracket directly below the vertical basement wall.  The pier may either be placed on the inside of the basement to save landscaping or on the outside to adjust for the wall rotating outward.  In this case the problem was caught early and the push piers were installed in the interior.  When installed this way, soil does need to be excavated, but our experts make sure to clean up after themselves and the homeowner will never even be able to tell that we were there...besides the fact that they will now have a straight, stable wall!

A foundation was settling in Defiance, MO, causing cracks to form on the walls near the doors, which weren't working properly. To solve these issues, Push Piers were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation and raise it back up to its original position and keep it in place. These will also close the cracks and improve the function of the doors. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A concrete floor was cracking inside of a home in Defiance, MO, so the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slab with high-strength polyurethane foam. This is a unique approach to repairing sinking concrete.  After drilling small holes into the concrete, a polymer foam is injected into the concrete slab to stabilize the surface. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up for good!

Heather of Saint Albans, Missouri experienced sinking concrete slabs on her patio so, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems for help. Upon further inspection, systems design specialist, Peter N., found a solution and recommended PolyLevel for the job.

Foreman, Andrew T., installed the PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a high density polyurethane formula that permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs. First, a small, dime-sized hole is drilled into the concrete and then the polymer is injected. After that the hole is covered up with cement, so there is no worry of mismatched slabs.

Heather Z. can now enjoy her patio!

Rex D. of Cadet, MO had poor insulation in his crawl space, so he contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. Our design specialist determined that spray foam insulation around the rim joist would be the best solution. Rex can now enjoy a more comfortable home with lower energy bills.
