Before & After Photos

A foundation was shifting in O'Fallon, MO, causing a large crack to appear. 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 requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A basement foundation was cracking in O'Fallon, MO, and water was leaking from the cracks. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first 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. 

Additionally, the WaterGuard System was installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry all the time!

A foundation wall was becoming unstable in an O'Fallon, MO basement, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. 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!

A basement in O Fallon, Missouri, needed some stabilizing to address the failing floor joists above. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to do just this. This system consists of custom-cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building and can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this system in place, this basement is sure to stay stable and safe for many years to come.

Cracks forming in foundation walls can be a sign of a more serious underlying issue. Matt R. of O’Fallon, MO noticed that he was constantly patching cracks in his walls and new ones would form in their place. He also noticed the walls appeared to be leaning, as shown in the pictures, in so he called Woods Basement Systems for an assessment. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the leaning and cracking walls. Steel wall plates, as shown in the picture, are attached to earth plates that have been buried in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. The rods are tightened and will permanently stabilize the walls, preventing any future movement and can also straighten the walls in most cases.

Matt R. is happy he won’t have to patch cracks in his walls anymore.
