Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A home in Rochester, Illinois, had a foundation that was starting to settle. Cracks started to appear on the exterior walls of the home, indicating moving ground soils. Woods came out and installed some new supports to rectify the issue. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home should be stable for decades into the future.

A sidewalk in Rochester, IL, was sinking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. By drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath, the foam expands to lift the concrete slab up and levels it out. This foam hardens to become rock solid within hours. Next, NexusPro™ was used to fill in the gaps in between the concrete slabs. This flexible sealant will withstand against any harsh weather conditions the homeowner may recieve. Finally, SealantPro™ was used to stain and protect the concrete. With these systems in place, the homeowner can now rest assured that their concrete will remain in great shape!

A corner of a basement in Eddyville, IL was leaking water, causing some damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Ricard and Colene were unhappy with their settling foundation as their Waltonville, Illinois home began to lean. Push Piers were installed as a permanent solution to their settling foundation. Now, their home is restored to its original position without concern of future settling.

Before this crawl space was dirty and had insulation that was falling. With the help of Team Woods, this crawl space was clean and sealed with a CleanSpace vapor barrier. This inorganic barrier will keep out harmful outer elements that damage the crawl space.
