Before & After Photos

Support posts were failing in a basement in Saint Louis, MO, as they were rotting and shifting. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the basement. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

A house in St. Louis, Missouri had cracks starting to appear on the walls due to a failing support system in the basement. To fix this issue, Woods installed the SmartJack System. This system stabilizes floor joists using galvanized steel posts that go deep into the ground, finding stability in the bedrock. With this solution in place, the home will be sturdy and supported for decades to come.

Carla of Jennings, Missouri noticed that her ground-level floor was unleveled and seemed saggy. Worried about the condition of the floor she call Woods Basement Systems to see what the best solution was for her. She spoke with Brenton K., who recommended installing SmartJacks underneath the floor to bring back stability. Foreman James L. and his crew went straight to work installing the new Smart Jacks in the crawl space. Thanks to the work of Team Woods, Carla couldn't be happier with the end result!

A basement wall was failing in Saint Louis, MO, causing it to bow out and crack. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  This wall will now remain stable and secure for years to come!
