Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement / Push Piers

Homeowner Max D. of Saint Louis, Missouri was concerned about the foundation of his home. Recently, Max noticed small and large cracks on the inside and outside of his home. Finding small hairline cracks inside of his home near doors and windows as well as larger cracks outside the home and on the walls of the basement. He decided to call Woods Basement Systems to find a better solution to help support his home’s foundation and to stop anymore cracks from forming or becoming larger. We sent our team and foremen Jose Lorenzana out to the Max’s home to install the perfect solution to his problem, Push Piers. Our Push Piers are made of steel, made to permanently stabilize your homes foundation. They create the best opportunity to lift the home back up to its original position. Now, Max can have peace of mind knowing his home is supported and stable for years to come.
