PowerBraces Installed to Protect Chesterfield, MO Home
This home's type of settlement called for two different types of products installed by Woods. The first product, featured in this photo, is our PowerBrace system. These braces are installed floor to ceiling in the basement of the home up against the foundation wall. This product returned the wall to its original position and will prevent any future bowing.
Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Installed in Chesterfield, MO Basement
The second product needed to fully protect this foundation from further settlement was Woods' Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Our wall anchors work by extending a galvanized steal rod from your wall to the more stable and hard packed soil surrounding your home. They anchor into the stronger soils with a steal plate at the end of the rod and brace the foundation wall, preventing any further movement. Wall anchors are installed with very little disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up valuable space. Now these homeowners have peace-of-mind that their most important investment, their home, is fully protected!
