Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A crawlspace was not insulated in Carlyle, IL, and moisture was entering it, creating a damp and cold environment. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation was first installed. This features a radiant barrier infused with graphite, so the heat is reflected into the crawlspace, saving energy. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will stay warm and dry for years to come!

Homeowners in Carlyle, IL had walls that were severely bowing in the basement of their home and reached out to Woods Basement Systems for help.  Our team installed the PowerBrace System, which are I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  The homeowners were happy with the reinforced walls in their basement for years to come!

A basement in Carlyle, Illinois had some leaking water issues. To resolve this issue, Woods installed a French drain called the WaterGuard System. This system is a series of pipes that run directly below the floor and sit on top of the soil. This placement design ensures that dirt or other debris can't clog the system. The pipes then direct excess water to the nearby sump pump. Thanks to this install, this basement will remain dry for decades to come.

A pool deck in Carlyle, IL, was sinking and unleveled. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. This system works by drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath. The foam then expands, lifting the concrete slabs up to level them out. This foam hardens to become rock solid within hours. Now that the concrete is leveled, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their pool deck is in great shape! 

Support blocks were sinking in a crawlspace in Ashley, IL, causing the floors in the house to become uneven. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This crawlspace will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
