Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Crawlspace support blocks were shifting in Blue Mound, IL, and the floor beams were rotting. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Eldorado, IL, creating a damp and musty atmosphere. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will isolate the crawlspace from the ground. It will also control water, humidity, outside air infiltration, and heat loss. The white finish will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside. This crawlspace will now remain clean and stay dry for years to come!

A garage in Eldorado, IL, was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that enters the basement and direct it to the nearest sump pump. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to ensure no clogging occurs. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

This homeowner was shocked to see their basement walls cracking and bowing into the home's interior. System Design Specialist Greg B. assessed the situation and recommended a long-lasting repair solution to protect the foundation and the home.

Foreman Brad P. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to reinforce the damaged wall. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod and heavy-duty steel plates to brace bowing walls and potentially straighten them to their original position. With Geo-Lock, this homeowner has the piece of mind they deserve.

This Niantic, Illinois foundation was not secure and this affected the basement walls. These walls were cracking and moving into an unstable position. Team Woods secured the walls with Geo-Locks to tighten and strengthen the walls over time.
