Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Fabien D. of Marthasville, MO had long vertical cracks that spanned his foundation walls. He’d tried patching the cracks before but new ones formed and were allowing water to get in and damage his drywall so he called Woods Basements Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors alongside a waterproofing system.

Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. They permanently stabilize walls in place by connecting earth anchors embedded in the yard to wall plates on the inside of the walls using galvanized steel anchor rods. They can also straight walls over time by tightening them during dry periods.

This homeowner's foundation was settling, affecting the windowsill to the point of visible bowing. They opted for the Push Pier System, which is drilled into the ground, past the unstable soil and into load bearing soil, to permanently stabilize and even raise the foundation. Now the windowsills won't be at risk of further settling, and neither will the home.

Homeowners in Marthasville, MO had sinking concrete on the back porch of their house.  After reaching out to Woods Basement Systems, our team installed the PolyLevel System.  This system 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.  The homeowners were happy with their leveled porch and peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was cracking in Marthasville, MO, causing cracks to form. 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!

A walkway in Saint Louis, MO had unprotected concrete joints. The homeowner reached out to Woods, and we had a solution that had a quick installation time and long-term adhesion.

Not only is it UV-resistant, but it also comes in a variety of colors to match your concrete. Now the homeowner's concrete joints will be sealed and protected from outside elements!
