Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing A Home In Saint Charles, MO

A home in Saint Charles, Missouri, had some stabilization issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed two different products to remedy these. The first install was a system called the PowerBrace System. This system consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure, and it ensures that the floor joists above aren't going to cave in. The next install was a product used to reinforce the integrity of the walls. In the GeoLock Wall Anchor System, Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they reinforce the wall. With these two installs in place, this home will be sturdy for years down the road.
