Before & After Photos

A basement in Saint Louis, Missouri, started showing signs of a failing foundation. Support beams had been placed some time ago to help stabilize, but these supports need replacing. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to remedy this issue. 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. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With these supports in place, this homeowner can rest easy knowing their home will be stable for years to come.

Melody D. of St. Louis, MO noticed the wooden support beam in her home was cracked and became concerned, so she contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. 

Design specialist Jeremy R. evaluated the beam and determined that best solution would be to install a supplemental beam and SmartJacks.

Foreman Brett J. and his crew installed the I-beam and SmartJacks and the home is now stable.

Cracking present in the exterior brickwork of a home is quite often a sign of foundation settlement. Because of this, it is important to contact an expert if and when these cracks are noticed before the problems can get worse. This South St. Louis homeowner did the smart thing and called Woods Basement Systems as soon as she noticed cracks on the outside of her home. A Woods team installed several Push Piers, galvanized steel beams, underneath the foundation before adjusting them to lift the home back to level. It's a good thing that this homeowner called when she did!

Support beams were failing in a Saint Louis, MO basement, which was causing the floors in the house above to sag. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This basement will forever remain stable and restore peace of mind!
