Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Salem, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was becoming unstable in Salem, IL, causing cracks to appear. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

To solve this issue, specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed.  These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!

Basement walls in a home in Salem, Illinois, were starting to crack and bow inwards. Without any correction, this problem would only continue to worsen. Woods came out and installed the Geolock Wall Anchor System. Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attach to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. Thanks to the install, this basement will stay supported for years to come.
