Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The Kirkwood, Missouri YMCA owners discovered cracks in the foundation walls. After further inspection, system design specialist John S. found that the walls were bowing under pressure. Increased water pressure in the soil caused the walls to bow inward. 

Foreman Jose L. installed PowerBrace. PowerBrace works to restore the walls to their original position. The galvanized steel I-beams provide support for the foundation walls. 

Kathryn S was concerned when she noticed that her basement walls were beginning to bow. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Chris S was able to come up with a solution to the problem. 

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Kathryn’s basement. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to stable soil away from the house and the other end will attach to the basement walls. The device can be tightened and overtime will straighten the walls. 

This Kirkwood homeowner's basement walls were in a worrisome state. Over the years, small hairline cracks in the walls had grown into large fractures, and he was concerned about the possibility of a total wall collapse. In order to support and protect the walls, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors. These work by connecting steel plates on the interior surface of the damaged walls to heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation, effectively pulling the walls outward. 

The walls in this Kirkwood basement were in a bad state. Over the years, small cracks in the surface had grown into large fractures and the walls had begun to bow slightly. This caused the homeowner to worry about wall collapse. In order to support the walls, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several PowerBrace I-beams to stop the bowing and totally prevent further damage. 

A foundation was cracking in Saint Louis, MO, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
