Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation was shifting in O'Fallon, MO, causing a large crack to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A foundation wall was becoming unstable in an O'Fallon, MO basement, causing concern for the homeowners. 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!

Mike and Elese S. in O'Fallon, MO had a failing foundation in their home. Woods Basement Systems installed GeoLock wall anchors to support the foundation. These anchors will be attached to the wall and anchored out in the yard. 

Cracks forming in foundation walls can be a sign of a more serious underlying issue. Matt R. of O’Fallon, MO noticed that he was constantly patching cracks in his walls and new ones would form in their place. He also noticed the walls appeared to be leaning, as shown in the pictures, in so he called Woods Basement Systems for an assessment. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the leaning and cracking walls. Steel wall plates, as shown in the picture, are attached to earth plates that have been buried in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. The rods are tightened and will permanently stabilize the walls, preventing any future movement and can also straighten the walls in most cases.

Matt R. is happy he won’t have to patch cracks in his walls anymore.

Steve C. had long cracks along the foundation walls of his basement. They were allowing water to get into the basement and he was worried they might be a sign of larger problems so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommeneded extending his waterproofing system and installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the cracked wall, as shown in the picture. Steel wall plates on the inside of the foundation wall connected to earth anchors by galvanized steel anchor rods counteract the pressure from soil on the outside of the wall. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize the walls and can in most case straighten the walls by tightening the anchor rods during dry periods.
