Before & After Photos

A foundation was showing signs of failure in Saint Louis, MO, as cracks were forming. 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 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. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!

Before this crawl space had wooden pegs that would hold up the house. Now with the updated SmartJacks, this homeowner won't have to worry if the wooden pegs would crack or weaken over time. 

Unfortunately, it is quite common for the flooring above crawl spaces to start to sag over time. This is usually due to moisture present in the crawl space, and it is a problem that should be addressed as soon as its noticed. In Overland, Missouri, a homeowner was experiencing this exact issue. He worried that if he waited any longer to call for help, his floor would fall through. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several Smart Jacks in the crawl space underneath the sagging floor joists to level and support them. A white CleanSpace vapor barrier was also put in place to seal moisture out of the crawl space.

A basement wall was failing in Overland, MO, causing cracks to form. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. 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.  This wall will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

Saint Louis, Missouri homeowner Autumn noticed water in her basement. She gave Woods Basement System a call and System Design Specialist Jeremy developed a plan for them. 

Foreman Jeremy R. and his crew installed the WaterGuard and PowerBraces for Autumn. The PowerBraces will straighten the wall and close any gaps that had developed. The WaterGuard will colelct any water before it gets to the floor and redirect it to the sump pump. 

Autumn and her family can now enjoy their basement and know it is dry and stable.
