Before & After Photos

A basement in Saint Louis, Missouri, had some cracks starting to appear in the foundation walls. Most likely this is caused by moving ground soils as the temperature heats and cools over time. To address this issue, Woods came in and installed the Push Pier System. 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!

Melody D. of St. Louis, MO noticed the wooden support beam in her home was cracked and became concerned, so she contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. 

Design specialist Jeremy R. evaluated the beam and determined that best solution would be to install a supplemental beam and SmartJacks.

Foreman Brett J. and his crew installed the I-beam and SmartJacks and the home is now stable.

Carla of Jennings, Missouri noticed that her ground-level floor was unleveled and seemed saggy. Worried about the condition of the floor she call Woods Basement Systems to see what the best solution was for her. She spoke with Brenton K., who recommended installing SmartJacks underneath the floor to bring back stability. Foreman James L. and his crew went straight to work installing the new Smart Jacks in the crawl space. Thanks to the work of Team Woods, Carla couldn't be happier with the end result!

A basement wall was failing in Saint Louis, MO, causing it to bow out and crack. 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!

Homeowners in Saint Louis, MO had large cracks appearing on the side of their property walls.  After reaching out to Woods Basement Systems, our team installed Helical Piers.  These piers are meant to reinforce the foundation of the structure by connecting to the footing of the home.  By drilling deep into the soil, it allows the piers to be secure.  After the installation, it can often result in closed cracks and improved operation of the doors and windows.  The homeowners were happy with their supported foundation for years to come!
