Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Hawk Point, MO were experiencing severe wall failure in the basement of their home.  They reached out to Woods Basement Systems and our team installed the PowerBrace System.  The PowerBrace System is made up of I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  The homeowners were happy with their home's stabilized foundation and peace of mind!

BEFORE: Similar to poured concrete walls, block walls like this one (in Glencoe, Missouri) sometimes leak at the joint between the footing and wall. This block wall foundations is also filled with mortar joints that weakened and leaked; the block itself had cracked and allowed water to leak through.

AFTER: This problematic foundation is now supported and dry. Woods Basement Systems design specialists determined the cause of the water leakage and provided effective solutions to stop future water leaks.

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!
