Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

On this job, our team installed PowerBraces™ along the walls of the basement to permanently stabilize the basement's foundational walls. Our team also installed WaterGuards™ along the footing of the walls to prevent water from seeping in; a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to pump out water from the basement to the yard; and IceGuards™ to help prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines. These installations will give the customer some reassurance and peace knowing their basement walls are permanently stabilized and protected from future water leaks.  

Homeowners in Godfrey, IL had cracks forming on the walls of their basement indicating signs of wall failure. 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!

On this job, our team installed PowerBraces™ along the walls of the basement. Over time, as water in the ground saturates the backfill soil around the foundation, it causes hydrostatic pressure that puts stress on the foundational walls of their basement. So the best method to fix this would be to install PowerBraces™. This will permanently stabilize the walls of the basement, ensuring that the walls won't collapse on each other in the future. Giving the customer some peace of mind knowing our product will keep them and their homes safe. 

Homeowner Brock S. of Glasgow, Missouri was worried about the foundation of his home. He had noticed a large horizontal crack forming across his basement wall that was beginning to bow. He wanted to have his problem solved by Woods Basement Systems before it could get any worse. GeoLock wall Anchors were installed on the walls of the basement. The GeoLock anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and, in many cases, can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall, and are then connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment.

A home in Centertown, Missouri, had a floor that was starting to sink and become displaced. Woods came in and installed new support piers to rectify this issue.

This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this installation in place, this home is sure to stay sturdy and safe for many years to come.
