Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

PowerBrace offers a permanent solution to fixing cracked or bowing walls due to the constant movement of soil. The Patented PowerBrace Brackets reverse the forces of nature by reinforcing the wall and over time and can move the wall back to its original position without excavation outside of the home or removal of concrete from the basement floor.

Crawlspace support blocks were failing in Divernon, IL, causing the floor above to sink. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that 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!

Support blocks in a Columbia, MO crawlspace were failing. The foundation was continuing to settle, pushing the blocks down and cracking the concrete beneath them. To solve this issue, Woods installed the SmartJack System in the crawlspace. These will permanently stabilize the sagging floors, beams, and floor joists in the crawlspace. They also create a solid base of engineered fill to distribute the weight of the home. This crawlspace will remain stable for years to come!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Columbia, MO, causing the support beams to rot and corrode. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and will allow one to easily see inside. Additionally, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and stable for years to come!

Cracked and settled walls had developed due to water damage that the home endured. To restore the home's foundation, Team Woods' head foreman, Kevin J., and his team installed push piers to lift the foundation back into its original place.
