Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

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 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!

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!
