Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Several of this St. Louis, Missouri home's basement walls were badly cracked and damaged due to years of outside soil pressure. The homeowner was concerned about the possibility of a total collapse, so she gave Woods Basement Systems a call. In order to reinforce the walls, several PowerBrace I-beam supports were installed. These supports are incredibly strong and prevent any further movement and cracking in the walls.

Homeowners Caroline and Dennis G. of Saint Louis, Missouri were worried about the foundation of their home. Over the past five years, they had been discovering cracks around their home. Unsure of where they were stemming from, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems to see if they could discover the source of the problem. After the free estimate, our team was scheduled to come back out to the house to fix the foundation problem with our PushPier system.

PushPiers are made of steel, to permanently stabilize your home’s foundation. In many cases, this solution can also lift your home back toward level, closing cracks and improving the operation of doors and windows. This was the perfect solution for Caroline and Dennis’s home and they were happy about how the installation turned out.

A basement in St. Louis, Missouri had walls that were starting to bow and crack from an unstable foundation. To solve this issue, Woods installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor System to not only hold the walls in place, but also to return them to their original position. Heavy duty anchors are placed in soil away from the foundation wall and are connected to steel wall plates with long galvanized rods. These can be tightened over time, ensuring this home will remain sturdy for years to come!

A support post was failing in Clayton, MO, causing issues in the house. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists in the basement. 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!
