Before & After Photos

A basement foundation was becoming unstable in Ellisville, MO, as a large crack was forming. 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 straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Barnhart, MO, causing the wall of the garage to separate from it. To solve this issue, the Push Pier system was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. the garage gap will also be closed. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Mike E was concerned about the sinking floors in his basement. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Jeremy R was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jose L installed a Push Pier, shown above, in Mike’s basement. The Push Pier will be driven into a stable level of soil. The device will support the section of the house that is sinking, and work to raise it back to its original level.

This St. Peters, Missouri home was showing tell-tale signs of settling: sticking doors and windows and cracks in the cieling, just to name a few. The homeowner called Woods Basement Systems for help, and a team installed several Push Piers underneath the foundation in order to lift and level it. These supports will remain for support for the life of the structure.

This home in St. Peters, MO. had previously hired Woods Basement Systems to install wall anchors to protect the foundation walls from cracking and bowing inward. These wall anchors work by pulling an interior plate toward an anchor buried outside. This pulling force supports the wall permanently and can be used to straighten walls that have become bent inward in the middle. 

Recently, Mike B. from Woods Basement Systems visited this home to inspect the waterproofing and wall anchor systems. Maintenance inspections like this would offer the opportunity to tighten the wall anchor systems to help futher straighten the wall if needed. While that wasn't required during this check, Mike B. was able to add covers to the low profile wall anchor plates. These plates are thin enough to be hidden behind finished walls or furniture items. In this case, since neither were present, a simple cover was installed that would hide the unsightly plate from view but still offer access to maintenance crews if needed.

During his routine maintenance inspection, Mike B. was still able to accomodate the requests of the homeowners and live up to the Woods Basement Systems team's goal; To ensure every customer has a remarkable experience.
