Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Support posts were failing in a Wentzville, MO basement, causing the floors above to shift. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the basement.  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!

A retaining wall was shifting in Wentzville, MO, causing cracks to appear. 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. This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

This Gray Summit, Missouri home's concrete-block basement walls were badly cracked and slightly bowing in places. 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. A team installed several GeoLock wall anchors, supports that function by attaching anchors buried deep in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates on the interior surface of the foundation walls, throughout the space. These anchors effectively pull the walls outward over time and totally prevent further movement and cracking.

A retaining wall was shifting and bowing forward due to the settling soil behind it, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the wall. Once installed, these will hold the wall in its current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the wall for good!

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.
