Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Terry J. had an unsable basement in his Cape Girardeau home due to the amount of water leaking in each time it rained. He was fed up with the mess so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

Part of the waterproofing system that was installed was WaterGuard, which is a drainage system that is under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement (as shown in the picture). It is situated in a way that it won't become clogged by mud as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors of the basement and drains it away to the sump pump for removal.

A foundation in Missouri was settling, causing a large crack to appear and grow. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further movement. They will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straighten the walls to their original position, and close the cracks to prevent water leakage. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Florissant, MO, causing cracks to appear near the doors. 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!

A basement was becoming unstable in Florissant, MO, causing concern. 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. 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!

The current wall support beams were failing in a basement in Black Jack, MO, as the foundation was still shifting and becoming unstable. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!
