Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Michael D was concerned about the bowing walls in his basement. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Todd M was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

A Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, was installed in Michael’s basement. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to stable soil away from the house, and the other will attach to the basement walls. Over time the device will be able to straighten the walls.

A foundation was settling in Lake Saint Louis, MO, causing large cracks to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation walls, and straighten them back to their original position. all of the cracks will be closed, and these will prevent any more from appearing. This basement will remain stable for years to come!

A foundation was becoming unstable in Lake Saint Louis, MO, as large cracks were forming. 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!

A house with foundation settlement issues in Farmington, Missouri started getting cracks in the exterior walls that needed repaired. To resolve this issue, Woods installed The Push Pier System to permanently stabilize the foundation. The Push Pier System consists of hydraulically driven steel tube sections that are driven past unstable topsoils to the sturdy bedrock beneath it. This helped stabilize the foundation and resolve the cracks forming on the exterior walls.

A crawlspace was structurally failing in Farmington, MO, so the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. 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!
