Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Installed in Wentzville, MO

Foundation wall issues can devalue a home and scare off potential buyers. Alice C. knew this from her experience as an agent so when she noticed cracks in the walls of a Wentzville, MO property she was selling, she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods determined the best solution would be to install Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the soil pressure that causes cracks in walls by connected steel wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls to earth anchors, which have been embedded in more stable soil in the yard, using galvanized steel anchor rods. The anchor rods are tightened to permanently stabilize the wall and prevent any future damage.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Permanently Stabilize Foundation Walls in Wentzille, MO

Cracks in foundation walls can be a sign that pressure from unstable soil on the outside of the wall is causing it to fail. Christina and James B. of Wentzville, IL had cracks in their foundation walls that they’d attempted to patch but the cracked had reopened and new ones formed so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed on the cracked walls. They counteract the pressure from the soil by connecting earth anchors embedded in more stable soil in the yard to wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls using galvanized steel anchor rods. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize foundation walls and can straighten the walls in most cases. As shown in the picture, the steel wall plates can also be covered with optional wall anchor covers.

Foundation Walls Permanently Stabilized with Geo-Lock Wall Anchors in Foristell, MO

Timothy M. found some long cracks in the foundation walls of his elderly mother’s home in Foristell, MO. He was worried the walls would get worse, even fail, if he didn’t do something so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Unstable soil conditions can put a tremendous amount of pressure on the exterior of foundation walls and damage them. Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked foundation walls to counteract the pressure. To do this, wall plates on the inside of the foundation walls were connected to earth anchors that were buried in stable conditions in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize the walls in place and prevent future damage to the walls.

Stabilizing A Basement In Wentzville, MO

A finished basement in Wentzville, Missouri, needed some stabilizing as the supports were starting to become weak. Woods came in and installed the PowerBrace System. The PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. With this installation in place, this basement is sure to stay stable and safe for many years to come.

Settled Wentzville, MO Foundation Lifted With Push Piers

Severe cracking in the exterior brickwork of a home is often a telltale sign of foundation settlement, and the longer the problem goes unsolved, the worse that cracking will get; this was the case in this Wentzville, Missouri home. The homeowner had noticed cracking for several years, and was finally ready to tackle the issue. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several Push Piers, galvanized steel beams, underneath the foundation that were then adjusted to lift it back to level and support it for the life of the structure.
