Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

An effective sump pump is essential for a truly waterproof basement. This storage room was susceptible to bad leaks during heavy rains, often getting flooded with an inch or more of water. The homeowner's original sump was little more than a dank, musty pit in the ground and it was certainly not capable of doing its job; a Woods Basement Systems team replaced it with a TripleSafe pump. The TripleSafe system comes equipped with three pumps, one of which is a battery backup capable of pumping over 10,000 gallons of water an hour at and 8 foot head.

The transformation speaks for itself!

Wanting a fresh new look in her basement, this homeowner wanted to finish her basement while waterproofing the walls. The before and after speaks for itself! These beautiful EverLast walls will serve as a barrier from water leaks while giving the room an elegant, sealed look.

This Centralia, Illinois home's back patio was in a bad way. It was horribly cracked and sunken due to much of the underlying soil washing away over the years. It was ugly and unsafe, and the homeowners called Woods Basement Systems for help. In order to repair the damage, PolyLevel, an expanding composite foam, was injected underneath the damaged slabs. Because PolyLevel dries very quickly, the patio was leveled and ready to be used in just 30 minutes!

A sump system was failing in Centralia, IL. It was not pumping water out of the basement as it should. It also had no lid, releasing moisture into the basement. To solve these issues, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This sump system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will remain dry for years to come!

A foundation wall in Centralia, IL was settling, causing cracks to form and water to leak out of them. To fix this, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation, eliminate any inward movement, and reverse the effects of wall failure. It will also straighten the walls to their original position and close the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable for years to come!
