Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

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.

Jeff Q. from Salem, IL wanted to clean up his crawl space, and with the help of Woods Basement Systems, he was able to achieve this goal. Team Woods investigated the home and recommended installing SmartJacks into the crawl space to replace the old, wooden planks. Along with new SmartJacks, Team Woods would install a CleanSpace vapor barrier system to seal and keep the crawl space clean and protected. 

Billie B wanted to waterproof the basement. The sump system was also not pumping out water like it should, so that needed to be replaced. Woods first installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the TripleSafe Sump System, which was also installed to pump the water away from the house. This advanced sump pump system will remain working even if there is no power to the house, thanks to the UltraSump battery backup pumping system. Lastly, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This vapor barrier will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will also drain any wall leaks. Sean can now have peace of mind knowing that his basement will stay dry and clean for years to come!
