Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Saint Louis, Missouri, needed some stabilizing to correct signs of foundation settlement. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to address this. This system consists of custom-cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this installation in place, this home will be stable for many years to come.

Glenda B. of St. Louis, Missouri noticed settlement in her home as well as a large crack in the front room. She became concerned and called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Brandon B. evaluated the home and determined the SmartJack system was the most effective solution. It is designed to support the I-Beam of the home and stabilize the settlement. 

Foreman Josh B. and his crew installed the SmartJack and the customer was satisfied with her newly stabilized home.

When a basement ceiling begins to sink, a SmartJack gives support to the sinking portion of the home.

Brian of St. Louis, Missouri noticed large cracks in his home deepening over time. Team Woods looked over the house and recommended installing push piers to stabilize the home permanently. Push piers are a long-term solution that lifts a settled home back into its original position to prevent any further structural damage. 

A basement in Saint Louis, Missouri, was starting to show signs of foundation settlement. This is most likely due to moving ground soils as the temperature heats and cools over time. Woods came out and installed new support piers to address this issue. The PushPier System 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, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their home will be stable for years to come.
