Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing A Home In Union, MO

A home in Union, Missouri, had some major foundation issues that needed to be addressed. Cracks had been starting to appear on the inside and exterior walls of the home, indicating a severely shifting foundation. If this was not corrected, it would only continue to get worse. Woods came out and installed several products to re-stabilize the home's foundation. The first installation was 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. The next installation was in the crawlspace, called the SmartJack System. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time which allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With these two installs in place, the home will be stable many years into the future.
