Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in St. Louis was in desperate need of some foundation repairs. A couple main supporting beams were starting to fail, causing general concern for the homeowners. To fix this issue, Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to stabilize the beams. These are custom-cut steel posts set in galvanized fill to evenly distribute the weight of the home. This system added support to the crawlspace, eliminating the homeowners' concerns for decades to come.

A home in Chesterfield, Missouri, needed some stabilizing work done. Small cracks were starting to appear around the home and needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed a pier system to support the foundations. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home will be stable for many years to come.

A foundation was cracking in a Chesterfield, MO basement, and this water was pooling onto the floor. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump system to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable, dry, and clean for years to come!

This house had a settling foundation causing cracks throughout this Chesterfield basement. Steel push piers were used to permanently stabilize the foundation and prevent further settlement. This improved the function of doors and windows, closed cracks, and gave this customer peace of mind.

A foundation was shifting in Chesterfield, MO, causing a large crack to appear and grow over time. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!
