Before & After Photos

Bowing and cracking walls can be signs of soil pressure on the outside of the foundation and can lead to major problems if not addressed. Chris R. of St. Louis, MO was patching cracks in his walls but new ones kept forming so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls and halt any further movement due to soil pressure. Earth anchors are embedded in the yard and attached to steel wall plates on the inside of the walls by galvanized steel anchor rods. The rods are tightened to keep the walls firmly in place and can straighten walls in most cases.

Chris R. has the peace of mind that his walls are safe from any future damage and are permanently stabilized.

Steve M. of Sappington, Missouri noticed that a couple of his home's basement walls were cracking and bowing. He did not want the problem to get worse or cause any safety concerns, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Quinton W. assessed the problem and decided that the best option was to install a few wall anchors. Foreman Jeremy R. then traveled to the home to start the job.

Wall anchors, pictured above, extend from the inside basement walls to the hard packed soil outside of the home. The steel anchors help stabilize and prevent any further movement of the walls.

Steve M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement walls bowing and cracking. He now has safe and stable walls.

This St.Louis, Missouri home had experienced severe cracking throughout the basement and even the outside. Push piers were installed by foreman Jose L. to save the foundation and permanently aligned the home back into its original position. 

Richard G is having some problems with the wall supports already installed in the foundation in his basement. Water is leaking by cracks in the walls that are forming by the anchors.

Paul W and his team installed the PowerBrace system to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. This will not only prevent the house from settling but stop cracks in the walls from forming.

In the Before image, cracks in the walls can be seen underneath the wall anchors. In the After photos, the PowerBrace beams are seen supporting the walls.

Paul can now rest assured that his foundation won't fail!

A foundation in a Saint Louis, MO basement needed some additional support since cracks were reappearing. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!
