Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

There are several things that can be done outside to help protect the basement from leaks and floods. The most obvious of these things is to make sure the ground pitches away from the home, forcing water to flow away from the house rather than against it. 

Another option is to extend rain gutters and downspouts. This will collect the water and direct it further from the home. This was done for Sharon T. in Springfield, IL. as an extra measure to keep water away from the home's foundation.

Michael B. was able to install an underground line that connected to the downspout and carried water further away from the home. When he was done installing the pipe, he replaced the turf to hide the line from sight. Now the home has that extra layer of water protection outside without ugly pipes and extensions sitting on top of the yard.

A homeowner in Springfield, IL wanted a moisture barrier for the crawlspace, so the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This liner completely isolated the crawlspace from the earth, so no moisture, dirt, or debris can enter. This will also dramatically reduce the humidity level, eliminating mold growth and rot from the crawlspace, therefore, making the whole house healthier. This crawlspace will remain clean and dry for years to come!

A basement window was leaking water in Springfield, IL, and the water was pooling onto the floor. To solve these issues, a WellDuct was installed. This will drain water from the window well and into the WaterGuard System, which will guide it to the sump system which will pump this water out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Homeowners in Springfield, IL had moisture in their crawl space and needed it sealed.  Woods Basement Systems installed the CleanSpace Basement Wall System into their crawl space.  This system provides a vapor barrier for the walls and floor around the crawl space to drain wall leaks and stop the water vapor from permeating the walls.  The barrier also adds a clean and bright atmosphere to the crawl space.  The homeowners were happy with their new system and dry crawlspace for years to come!

A concrete driveway was sinking in Springfield, IL causing the slabs to become uneven and crack. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was first 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 driveway and restore peace of mind!
