Before & After Photos

A foundation was becoming unstable in Ballwin, MO, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come!

A home in Ballwin, Missouri, had some foundation issues starting to pose a concern. Cracks started appearing as the foundation wall started bowing inwards. To address this issue, Woods came out and installed new supports to stabilize the walls. The PowerBrace 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. With these new supports in place, this home will be stable for decades to come.

This Ballwin, Missouri home had cracked walls as well as bowing walls. Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors to correct the bowing wall. Our product can be used to effectively repair and waterproof a wall crack.

Two bowing walls and several cracks made for a very wet basement in Ballwin, Missouri.  Woods Basement Systems installed Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors to straighten the walls and prevent them from bowing any more.  Once the foundation was repaired, Woods installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to drain any wall seepage to the WaterGuard drainage system (which the crew also installed) and into the sump pump.  The sump pump and drainage system were concreted in, and this basement has been dry ever since!

Kevin and Kelley K. were experiencing large cracks in their Ballwin, Missouri home. They contacted Woods Basement Systems to design a solution suitable to their needs. The best solution for this home was to install Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchors along the wall to help stabilize it and prevent further movement, as well as return the wall to its original position.
