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.

In many cases, this solution can also lift your home back toward level, closing cracks and improving the operation of doors and windows.

These can be tightened over time, ensuring this home will remain sturdy for years to come!

They are then connected by steel rods to galvanized steel anchors buried away from the home. This system effectively stabilizes the home's foundation, ensuring the homeowner's peace of mind for years to come.
