Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Wall Anchors were installed in this home to keep it from bowing in.  Once they were installed, the owner wanted the basement finished, so he got EverLast Perimeter Wall with white trim and anchor covers to complete his finished basement.

Lisa N was concerned when she noticed large cracks in her basement walls, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Jeremy K was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed PowerBraces, as shown above, along with piers to stablize the sinking garage. The walls and the garage are now stable.

External soil pressure can cause damage to walls and cause them to fail. Gary F.’s retaining wall behind his Chesterfield, MO home was bowing inward and cracked. He was worried that it might collapse and he’d not only have to replace the wall but the deck it was supporting so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract soil pressure by connecting steel wall plates to earth anchors embedded in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods which stabilizes the wall. Woods also straightened the wall immediately by excavating behind the wall and tightening the anchors. Wall plate covers as shown in the picture can also be included to make wall plates more aesthetically pleasing.

A foundation was cracking on the outside of a house in Chesterfield, MO, causing concern. To fix this, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A crawlspace in St. Louis was in desperate need of some foundation repairs. A couple main supporting beams were starting to fail, causing general concern for the homeowners. To fix this issue, Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to stabilize the beams. These are custom-cut steel posts set in galvanized fill to evenly distribute the weight of the home. This system added support to the crawlspace, eliminating the homeowners' concerns for decades to come.
