Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

David C. from Ballwin, MO noticed that he had some cracks on the wall of his basement. Although he tried to cover them with cement, the cracks kept growing. He contacted Woods Basement Systems to solve this problem. Our system design specialist decided to use the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor was the best solution to correct this issue. 

The Geo-Lock anchors are connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This system was partnered with CleanSpace wall liners to add provided protection from mold growth. CleanSpace also gives David's basement a clean, sleek appearance.

Kevin and Kelley K. were experiencing large cracks in their Ballwin, Missouri home. They contacted Woods Basement Systems to design a solution suitable to their needs. The best solution for this home was to install Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors along the wall to help stabilize it and prevent further movement, as well as return the wall to its original position.

Kevin and Kelley K., Ballwin, Missouri homeowners, were distraught by the large crack in their basement wall. The crack not only allowed water in, but it compromised their foundation.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to restore the bowing wall to its original position and provide support for the home. After the installation, the basement was waterproofed. BrightWall was installed as part of the waterproofing system, but it also makes their basement walls more appealing by covering the cracks and the anchors.

Tilting and cracking in foundation walls can drive down a home’s value and scare off potential buyers. Dan Casey knew this so when he was representing a Ballwin, MO property that had cracking, tilting foundation walls that were also damaging the finished walls over them, he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Along the foundation walls, galvanized steel anchor rods were driven through the walls and connected to earth anchors embedded in stable soil in the yard and to steel wall plates on the inside of the walls. They permanently stabilize the walls in place, restoring value to the home. They can also straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry conditions.

When homeowner Glenn G. discovered his basement walls were bowing inward, he gave Woods Basement System a call.

Our system design specialist went over to do an inspection and created a design that would create stability for the basement walls. Foreman, Jeremy R. did a Geo-lock Wall Anchor installation. What this system does is permanently stabilize homes while also making the basement walls straight. No heavy equipment is involved with this installation which makes this the most simple and quickest solution for bowing walls.

As seen in the picture above, the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor will guarantee a restored and secure home.
