Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A foundation was showing signs of settlement in Pacific, MO, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

A foundation was settling in Pacific, MO, and cracking again after being sealed before. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was 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. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Diane L. was worried about water coming into her basement and ruining her floor and wallpaper. To solve this reoccurring issue, Woods installed WaterGuard in the perimeter of the basement. These pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it towards the sump pump system, which will then pump the water away from the house. Diane can now rest assured knowing that she will have a dry and clean basement for years to come!

The history of basement foundation wall crack repairs goes something like this:

In the past, contractors would chisel out a crack into a larger "V" shape and fill it with hydraulic cement. Injection epoxy used to be the product of choice, but more recently, urethane is a common solution. 

For the corner crack in this Wentzville, Missouri basement, we decided to inject urethane into the crack.  The first picture shows how messy urethane injection may be.  We did two different repairs on this particular wall crack because midway down the wall, there was a larger opening letting a maximum amount of water leak into the basement even during a light rainfall.  We customize the right repair for whatever problem we find in a basement to guarantee a dry below-grade space.

A basement was having several structural issues in Wentzville, MO. First, the floors in the house were sagging, due to the support beams failing in the basement. next, the foundation was shifting, causing it to crack and leak water. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the basement. They will lift the floors above them to their original position, and keep them in place. Next, 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. Lastly, a partial CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will act as a drain curtain that will make sure that any water that comes down the walls can drain directly into the perimeter drainage system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry all the time!
