Before & After Photos

This Sikeston, Missouri crawl space suffered from bowing walls. Woods Basement Systems straightened and strengthened this home with Foundation Supportworks foundation wall anchors.

Support posts were failing in a Sikeston, MO crawlspace, causing the floor beams to shift. 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 crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

If your home's floors start to sink, a SmartJack can help support your home. It can also raise the level of the sinking floors.

Termites had damaged the main beam in the crawl space of Josh H.’s Pevely, MO home. The damage had rotted the beam which, in combination with haphazardly stacked brick columns, had caused the floors above to sag so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing SmartJacks along with an encapsulation system.

Woods installed the SmartJacks along the main beam. SmartJacks are galvanized, adjustable steel columns that are cut to the height of the crawl space. They are held in place by pre-cast concrete footings that sit on a bed of compressed stone which means the system won’t settle like masonry columns. They adjust to lift the floors above back to level position while providing adequate support for the main beam for years to come.

This Pevely, Missouri homeowner was very concerned with the state of her concrete-block basement walls. Over the years, they had become riddled with large cracks and had begun to bow inward. She was worried that, if left unaddressed, the walls may collapse. To support these walls and prevent any more damage, a Woods Basement Systems team affixed several PowerBrace supports to the wall. These galvanized steel I-beams are incredibly strong and totally prevent further movement.
