Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Weldon Spring, MO, causing cracks to form outside of the house. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

A foundation was becoming unstable in Saint Charles, MO, as large cracks were forming and leaking water. To solve this issue, Specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These longer anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Several repaired basement foundation wall cracks re-opened and drywall upstairs began to crack again also.  This home owner knew he had to fix it once and for all and decided to get our push pier foundation repair system installed by foundation support works.

Wendy R. of St. Charles was worried about the long cracks that had formed along her foundation walls, as seen in the photo. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call for a free assessment. Woods suggested installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize foundation walls by connecting an earth anchor embedded into the soil of the yard to a steel wall plate on the inside of the foundation wall with a galvanized steel anchor rod. They are tightened to prevent further bowing and cracking of the wall and even straighten the wall in most cases. As shown in the photo, the steel wall plates can be covered as well to be more aesthetically pleasing

Wendy R. now has the peace of mind that her walls are stable and no more cracks will form.

The wall anchoring system is designed to hold a bowing in wall in place and stop further inward movement of the wall.

The interior anchor plate is a large single plate attech to the DOUBLE earth anchor plate.  Engineers have caluclated the depth and distance the earth anchor needs to be for the proper working order of the wall anchoring system.  Soil undisturbed is dense and can stop the inward shifting of the loose soil inthe backfill area next to a basement foundation.
