A foundation was shifting in Arnold, MO, causing vertical cracks to form. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any 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 restore peace of mind for years to come!
A home in Bridgeton, Missouri, needed some support piers installed, as the home was starting to show signs of foundation failure. Woods came out and installed the Push Pier System to address this issue. This will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home will remain stable for many years to come.
The homeowner was experiencing a failing support beam in their crawlspace, which made caused cracks to appear around doorways, and also made the home put more pressure on its foundation, causing cracks to appear around the base of the home. We installed a metal support beam next to the existing wood beam, and installed our SmartJack XT, which are metal tubes implanted in the ground to support the beams. This will ease the pressure the house puts on its supports.
Linda W., Farmington, Missouri resident, was concerned with her sagging floors. As the soil around her home settled, so did the foundation. As you can see, she had some support system previously installed, but it just wasn't doing the job. System design specialist Paul B. designed a solution to ensure her foundation stays supported.
Foreman Josh B. and his team installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a support system made of galvanized steel. It lifts the floors to their original position and supports the foundation over time. Linda is pleased to know that her foundation is supported and will stay supported.
Floors were sagging in a home in Farmington, MO, so the SmartJack System was installed in the crawlspace. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!
