This homeowner's retaining wall in Poplar Bluff MO was failing and buckling due to the external force of the soil surrounding it. They had GeoLock wall anchors installed throughout. These will anchor the retaining wall into the soil ensuring it doesn't buckle in, as well as slowly seal the cracks back together over time.
A foundation was settling in Poplar Bluff, MO, causing large cracks to form on the exterior walls of the house. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. 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!
A crawlspace in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, needed some stabilizing work done. The previously placed supports were no longer providing the proper stabilization for the floor joists above. Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to rectify this issue. 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. Thanks to Woods, this crawlspace will be stabilized for decades to come.
