Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

The history of basement foundation wall crack repairs goes something like this:

In the past, contractors would chisel out a crack into a larger "V" shape and fill it with hydraulic cement. Injection epoxy used to be the product of choice, but more recently, urethane is a common solution. 

For the corner crack in this Wentzville, Missouri basement, we decided to inject urethane into the crack.  The first picture shows how messy urethane injection may be.  We did two different repairs on this particular wall crack because midway down the wall, there was a larger opening letting a maximum amount of water leak into the basement even during a light rainfall.  We customize the right repair for whatever problem we find in a basement to guarantee a dry below-grade space.

The basement was especially drafty and cold in this basement and only got worse in the winter.  The only way to combat this problem was to seal it with spray foam in the areas of the ceiling where the insulation was.  Now air doesn't escape from the basement leaving it chilly.

When this Wentzville, MO home started experiencing problems with the foundation, causing cracks to form in the basement, Woods Basement Systems was able to come in and install their Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. These anchors straighten the walls over time and prevent any further bowing to occur to ensure a solid foundation for the house.

Woods Basement System's Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are used to solve problems with the foundation of homes, such as bowing walls. This Wentzville, MO home had our wall anchors installed to straighten their wall and to prevent any further bowing to happen to their wall. They can rest easy now knowing that their home has a sound and secure foundation.

Cracks in a basement wall can be worrisome for any homeowner. Cracks give water a place to enter and can eventually lead to mold. They often form when you have a wall that is bowing. Thankfully for Lisa of Wentzville, MO her wall was able to be straightened through the use of our Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.
