Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Bowing walls are not a laughing matter, however they prove no obstacle for Woods Basement Systems. Our structural repair teams have placed thousands of Geo-Lock anchors in hundreds of homes and show no signs of slowing down. 

This homeowner managed to call us before the wall cracks had grown large enough to leak water, but remember it's never too late to call us. We specialize in repairing many common structural issues such as bowing and buckling walls as we found in this homeowner's basement.  We also specialize in drying your basement and our technicians are keenly aware of the many water issues that can arise from a simple crack.

A basement wall was bowing out in Saint Louis, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A basement in Saint Louis, Missouri, was starting to show signs of foundation settlement. This is most likely due to moving ground soils as the temperature heats and cools over time. Woods came out and installed new support piers to address this issue. The PushPier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their home will be stable for years to come.

Brian of St. Louis, Missouri noticed large cracks in his home deepening over time. Team Woods looked over the house and recommended installing push piers to stabilize the home permanently. Push piers are a long-term solution that lifts a settled home back into its original position to prevent any further structural damage.
