Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The floor beams in a Saint Louis, MO basement were not supported properly, and shifting. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the 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!

Rico R from St. Louis, MO was concerned about his foundation in his basement. The bricks were separating and starting to crack. Woods recommended the PowerBrace System to help permanently stabilize the foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams were custom fitted to the walls and tightly secured with brackets anchored to the floor and framing above. Rick can now rest easy knowing his foundation is stabilized. 

A basement wall was becoming unstable in Saint Louis, MO, causing cracks to form and re-appear after being sealed. 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!
