Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Sean of Mount Vernon, Illinois wanted to waterproof his basement to protect his home from water damage. Sean reached out to Woods Basement Systems to get a professional's recommendation on a permanent waterproofing plan. Upon recommendation, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains and CleanSpace on the walls. With the help of WaterGuard drains and a CleanSpace encapsulation barrier, Sean now has a protected basement that he can enjoy for many more years to come. 

This finished Mt. Vernon, Illinois basement was having water leak issues. Water would stream out from behind the drywall and pool on the floor during periods of heavy rainfall. This moisture had ruined sections of drywall and damaged furniture, and the homeowner was eager to get it taken care of.

Because the basement was finished BEFORE waterproofing, sections of drywall and flooring had to be removed before work could begin. A Woods Basement Systems team first installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. After this, a CleanSpace vapor barrier was affixed over the wall to seal out moisture. 

Before this Mount Vernon, Illinois basement had no means of protection against pesky water leaks. With the help of Team Woods, this was solved right away! One of the products used was a WaterGuard drainage system used to collect and direct water leaks towards the home's sump pump. 

Over the years, several of these Mt. Vernon, Illinois basement's walls had become badly cracked. The homeowner worried that, if left unchecked, this damage might eventually cause a total wall collapse. In order to reinforce the walls and put the homeowner's mind at ease, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil far from the home to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the damaged walls, effectively pulling them outward and straightening them over time. 

SmartJacks were used to stabilize and level the sinking floor in this Mount Vernon, Illinois crawl space. Team Woods installed several SmartJacks throughout the crawl space to reinforce the troubled foundation.
