Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Older sump pump pits work to pump water to the outside, but can release a lot of water vapor into the house.  Before finishing this Salem, Illinois basement, the homeowners decided to upgrade to our TripleSafe® sump pump with battery backup to ensure a dry basement, all the time!

Raised footings are common in older homes where the basement floor was poured between the footings and not on top of the footings from wall to wall.  Our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing drainage system is made to work with our other waterproofing solutions to give every home and problem the custom solution it needs to make sure your basement will stay dry all the time!

Kathy I was concerned when she noticed that her floors were beginning to sink. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Tod M was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Joshua B installed a SmartJack, shown above, underneath Kathy’s home. The SmartJack will rest on the ground and support the portion of the floors that is sinking, and lift it back to its original position.

Basement water leaks can wreak havoc on valuables and the structure itself. When looking to stop leaks and waterproof a basement, it is important to have the job done correctly the first time. This Salem, Illinois homeowner contacted the experts at Woods Basement Systems for her waterproofing needs, and a team installed, among other things, a CleanSpace wall encapsulation liner and a TripleSafe sump pump. Both of these products are extremely effective and keep water from getting into the basement space itself and removing any that does.

Homeowners in Salem, IL were tired of their dirty crawlspace. It allowed hot, humid air inside in the summer and cold air inside in the winter as well as hosted all manner of bugs and critters.

To fix their issues, Wood's Basement Systems foreman Ben S. installed CleanSpace™, a waterproof barrier that helps insulate the house from outside air as well as protects from dirt, mold, critters and water vapor.

The homeowners went from having a dirty and dingy crawlspace that hurt their home's energy efficiency and comfort to having a CleanSpace™ crawlspace that helps insulate their house and offers a dry and clean crawlspace.
