Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Matthew and Linda S were concerned when they noticed that their basement walls were beginning to bow. So, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. One of our System Design Specialists was able to come up with a solution to the problem. 

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Matthew and Linda’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.

Bowing and cracking basement walls are a dangerous predicament. If left alone, it is quite possible that they could end up collapsing, causing tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage. Because of this, it is imperative to address these issues as soon as possible. This Chesterfield, Missouri homeowner contacted Woods Basement Systems for this exact reason. A Woods team installed several PowerBrace supports against her bowing wall to totally halt any further movement and prevent collapse.

This Chesterfield, Missouri basement had several walls covered in large horizontal and vertical cracks. The homeowner was anxious to address the issue in order to avoid further damage. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors, supports that work by connecting steel plates on the interior surface of the basement walls with heavy anchors buried deep down in the firm soil about 3 yards away from the home, to pull the walls outward over time and prevent further cracking. The plates are covered with optional shrouds for cosmetic purposes in this picture.
