Alice C was concerned about the bowing walls in her basement. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Paul W was able to come up with a solution to the problem.
Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Alice’s basement. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to a stable level of soil away from the house. The other end will attach to the basement walls. The device can be tightened and will straighten the walls over time.
Severe cracking in the exterior brickwork of a home is often a telltale sign of foundation settlement, and the longer the problem goes unsolved, the worse that cracking will get; this was the case in this Wentzville, Missouri home. The homeowner had noticed cracking for several years, and was finally ready to tackle the issue. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several Push Piers, galvanized steel beams, underneath the foundation that were then adjusted to lift it back to level and support it for the life of the structure.

Cracking basement walls present a problem. Aside from being unsightly, cracks often lead to water leaks and other issues. If left unchecked, even a total wall collapse, although unlikely, can occur.
