Bowing Perryville, MO Basement Wall Supported With GeoLock

This Perryville, Missouri basement featured a single badly cracked and slightly bowing wall. Although the problem wasn't affecting the entire basement, it was still very important to address it. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors to right the wall. These anchors are installed by drilling a long, steel rod about 10 feet out into the firmer surrounding soil and then attaching that rod to a plate on the surface of the wall. They are then adjusted to return the walls to level.

A crawlspace was settling in Perryville, MO, causing the walls to shift. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

 

Sagging Porch Supported With SmartJacks In Grafton, IL

This elevated Grafton, Illinois porch was badly sagging. The porch was about 12 feet off of the ground and, over the years, the posts had begun to fail under the strain of regular use. A Woods Basement Systems team reinforced the porch by installing several SmartJacks underneath it. These adjustable supports are capable of holding 60,000 pounds each, and totally prevent any sagging or movement.

This will stabilize the beams under the porch, as well as the floor joists. these will lift the porch floors back to their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This porch will remain stable for years to come!

 

Stabilizing A Home In Bridgeton, MO

A home in Bridgeton, Missouri, needed some support piers installed, as the home was starting to show signs of foundation failure. Woods came out and installed the Push Pier System to address this issue. This will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home will remain stable for many years to come.
