Foundation Repair Photo Album: Bowing Wall Solution
John S. of Ballwin, Missouri had a foundation settlement disaster. In the basement of his home, the foundation walls were cracked and bowing in several places. After many attempts to have the cracks patched up by other companies, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems to see if they had a better solution.
Our foreman Greg Harvie had a better solution than just repairing wall cracks, his team installed our patented PowerBrace System.

Installed inside of the basement against the foundation walls to add extra support to the failed walls. This solution was exactly what John needed, now he wont have to worry about the foundation of his home ever again.
