Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Walls can shift and bow over time. That’s why Steve T called Woods Basement Systems when he noticed his basement walls were bowing. System Design Specialist Jeremy R was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Steve’s basement. The first part of the system attaches to the wall and the second attaches to stable soil away from the house. This will pull the walls back to where they are supposed to be.

Support beams in a crawlspace in Pittsfield, IL were rotting, causing the floors in the house to sink. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and joists in the crawlspace, and lift the floors in the house back to their original position. These will also reduce floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!

The outdoor walls at this Pittsfield home were leaning inward, which if not anchored upright could fall over and potentially cause damage to the property. Our Woods foreman came to straighten out these walls and anchor them to hold them in place. By installing Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors, these walls are guaranteed to stay in place and keep the rest of the home standing tall.

Crystal City, Missouri homeowner Rachel W. was stressed about her bowing basement walls. As the basement walls bowed, they began to crack. Her foundation was at risk and water was entering her basement. 

Foreman Todd W. installed the Geo-Lock wall anchors to restore her foundation walls to their original position and provide support for her home. Geo-Lock is a permanent solution to bowing basement walls.

Support posts were failing in Valley Park, MO, causing the floor above to shift. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a basement. These add strength and stability to the existing columns. 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!
