Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Foundation settling problems can be accomplished by placing the Foundation SupportWorks® pier bracket directly below the vertical basement wall.  The pier may either be placed on the inside of the basement to save landscaping or on the outside to adjust for the wall rotating outward.  In this case the problem was caught early and the push piers were installed in the interior.  When installed this way, soil does need to be excavated, but our experts make sure to clean up after themselves and the homeowner will never even be able to tell that we were there...besides the fact that they will now have a straight, stable wall!

A foundation was settling in Defiance, MO, causing cracks to form on the walls near the doors, which weren't working properly. To solve these issues, Push Piers were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation and raise it back up to its original position and keep it in place. These will also close the cracks and improve the function of the doors. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

Colin R. of Bonne Terre, Missouri noticed that the walls in his home's basement were cracking and bowing. He did not want the problem to continue to get worse or cause a safety hazard, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Brian H. assessed the situation and decided the best option was to install a few PowerBraces and Wall Anchors. Foreman Jeremy R. then traveled to the home to start the job. Wall anchors, pictured above, are made of steel and extend from the inside walls of the basement to the hard packed soil outside. They help stabilize and prevent further movement of the walls.

Colin R. no longer has to worry about his home's walls bowing and cracking. He now has safe and stable basement walls.

A basement wall was becoming unstable in Bonne Terre, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

The cement block foundation walls of Jolene B.’s De Soto, MO were bulging and tilting inward. Stair step and horizontal cracks had formed along the seams of the blocks and were allowing water to get in so Jolene called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along with a waterproofing system.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the cracked, bulging walls. They counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. Galvanized steel anchor rods are driven through the walls and connected to steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard. Steel wall plates are attached on the inside of the foundation walls and tightened into place. They permanently stabilize walls and can even straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry periods.
