Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Fabien D. of Marthasville, MO had long vertical cracks that spanned his foundation walls. He’d tried patching the cracks before but new ones formed and were allowing water to get in and damage his drywall so he called Woods Basements Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors alongside a waterproofing system.

Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. They permanently stabilize walls in place by connecting earth anchors embedded in the yard to wall plates on the inside of the walls using galvanized steel anchor rods. They can also straight walls over time by tightening them during dry periods.

This homeowner's foundation was settling, affecting the windowsill to the point of visible bowing. They opted for the Push Pier System, which is drilled into the ground, past the unstable soil and into load bearing soil, to permanently stabilize and even raise the foundation. Now the windowsills won't be at risk of further settling, and neither will the home.

A foundation was cracking in Marthasville, MO, causing cracks to form. To solve this issue, 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. 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!

A foundation was bowing inward in Greenville, MO, causing large cracks to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further 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 now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Annapolis, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. 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!
