Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement in Sidell, IL, was in need of wall support. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PowerBrace™ was used. These custom fit steel beams will help distribute the weight of the building. This system can also be adjusted over time, as needed. With PowerBrace™ in place, the homeowner can rest assured that their basement will remain in great shape for years to come!

A concrete sidewalk was sinking in Hutsonville, IL, causing the slabs to crack and become uneven. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed.  This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. Pea-sized holes were drilled into the concrete and the foam was injected to fill the void underneath. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Moisture was seeping through a crawlspace in Potomac, IL, creating a damp environment. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. This crawlspace will now remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was entering a basement in Potomac, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. 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 system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was bowing inward in Armstrong, IL, causing large horizontal cracks to appear. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!
