This St. Peters, Missouri home had bowing walls which can lead to wall cracks that allow water to seep into a basement. Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors to return the walls to their original shape.
The leaking diagonal crack was the proof this St. Peters, Missouri homeowner needed to call a professional in to fix the bowing wall. They said the two cracks were there from the time they moved in but never leaked, even with all the rain in 2005. The wall shifted another 1/2 inch since then, so we installed our wall anchoring system to stop it from shifting.
Several repaired basement foundation wall cracks re-opened and drywall upstairs began to crack again also. This home owner knew he had to fix it once and for all and decided to get our push pier foundation repair system installed by foundation support works.
Wendy R. of St. Charles was worried about the long cracks that had formed along her foundation walls, as seen in the photo. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call for a free assessment. Woods suggested installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.
Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize foundation walls by connecting an earth anchor embedded into the soil of the yard to a steel wall plate on the inside of the foundation wall with a galvanized steel anchor rod. They are tightened to prevent further bowing and cracking of the wall and even straighten the wall in most cases. As shown in the photo, the steel wall plates can be covered as well to be more aesthetically pleasing
Wendy R. now has the peace of mind that her walls are stable and no more cracks will form.
A homeowner's floor was insufficiently supported by its beams, so the SmartJack system was installed to stabilize it from the basement. Now the floor won't be at risk of further sinking, and this homeowner will have peace of mind.
