Rectifying A Mehlville Home's Basement Wall
Challenge
Just like the doctor finding a health issue during a typical check-up, Woods Basement Systems specialists sometimes discover new basement complications during annual visits. For this homeowner, that annual visit was for her sump pump. Her SuperSump, as expected, had given her no trouble and has kept water out of her basement. The complication arose when the foreman noticed one of the basement walls. "It's bowing inward," he told her.
He was right. Recently, the homeowner had noticed one of the wall cracks had elongated, and it was due to her buckling basement wall. "It was the first time I had come down to this room in a while," she said. "The crack that had been just a little guy was now way bigger." The best solution to this problem in any home is a set of Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The homeowner green-lighted the project, and Woods Basement Systems went to work.
On what should have been the last day of the project, the team ran into trouble. The concrete porch was in the path of an anchor; drilling through the cement caused both drills to die. "We'll be back tomorrow with a drill powerful enough to get this done," the foreman told the homeowner.
Solution
The structural repair experts at Woods Basement Systems came through with expert structural repair products and service. The next day, the crew was in and out in no time. The homeowner's basement walls are finished and have ample support. The homeowner was very pleased with the work ethic of the crew and their friendly, helpful attitudes. "They were a couple of very nice guys; I enjoyed talking with them."
