Before & After Photos

Homeowner Brock S. of Glasgow, Missouri was worried about the foundation of his home. He had noticed a large horizontal crack forming across his basement wall that was beginning to bow. He wanted to have his problem solved by Woods Basement Systems before it could get any worse. GeoLock wall Anchors were installed on the walls of the basement. The GeoLock anchor system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and, in many cases, can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall, and are then connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment.

A foundation was shifting and becoming unstable in Wildwood, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!

Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!
