Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Basement support posts were failing in a Saint Charles, MO basement, causing issues and concerns. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a basement. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

Several repaired basement foundation wall cracks re-opened and drywall upstairs began to crack again also.  This home owner knew he had to fix it once and for all and decided to get our push pier foundation repair system installed by foundation support works.

Wendy R. of St. Charles was worried about the long cracks that had formed along her foundation walls, as seen in the photo. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call for a free assessment. Woods suggested installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize foundation walls by connecting an earth anchor embedded into the soil of the yard to a steel wall plate on the inside of the foundation wall with a galvanized steel anchor rod. They are tightened to prevent further bowing and cracking of the wall and even straighten the wall in most cases. As shown in the photo, the steel wall plates can be covered as well to be more aesthetically pleasing

Wendy R. now has the peace of mind that her walls are stable and no more cracks will form.

A basement wall in Saint Peters, Missouri started cracking and causing stability issues. To counteract this issue, Woods installed The PowerBrace System. This system permanently stabilizes foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom fit to provide the maximum amount of support, and can be tightened over time as the need arises. This permanently stops any further cracking or wall displacement. Thanks to the PowerBrace system, these basement walls will stay supported throughout the basement's lifetime.

A foundation was settling in Saint Charles, MO, causing the floor in the house to become uneven. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!
