Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A foundation was cracking and becoming unstable in Wentzville, MO, causing concern to the homeowners. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall System was 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!

The homeowner was quite concerned about this and worried that letting the cracks go unaddressed for much longer might lead to a total wall collapse. With this in mind, Woods Basement Systems was called in.

These anchors effectively pull the walls outward over time and totally prevent further movement and cracking.

The foundation walls of Todd G.’s Troy, MO home were cracked. He was worried about the underlying issues that might be causing the damage to his walls so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a wall support system that include PowerBraces.

Woods custom fit the adjustable steel beams to the height of the basement. The beams were secured firmly against the walls by attaching them to steel brackets to the foundation floor and floor joists above. They permanently stabilize walls in place and prevent future damage. PowerBraces can also improve walls by tightening them during dry months.
