Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Carl of Mulkeytown, Illinois wanted to prevent further cracking and shifting of his foundation with the help of Team Woods. Team Woods investigated the space and recommended installing Geo-Lock wall anchors to resolve the problematic walls by preventing movement.

Geo-Lock wall anchors are used as a permanent solution to restore a settled, damaged wall. These anchors pull the wall back into its original position by installing the anchors in the soil outside of the home. 

Leaking basement walls can lead to damage and essentially render the space unusable. This was the case with a Mulkeytown, Illinois homeowner who was plagued with leaks any time that it rained, leading her to call Woods Basement Systems to waterproof her space. WaterGuard, a gutter-like drainage system that is placed underneath the floor at the base of the walls, was installed to catch any leaks. After this, a TwinPack sump pump was put in place. Equipped with two independently operating pumps, the TwinPack is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour! These measures will keep the basement totally try into the foreseeable future. 

This crawl space in Du Bois, Illinois needed protecting from the outer elements and needed a fresh, new look. Team Woods solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier system onto the floor and walls to protect the crawl space. CleanSpace will prevent water leaks from causing damage and will prevent the insulation from falling. 

Homeowners in Du Bois, IL were experiencing wall failure in the basement of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System.  This system works to stabilize the wall by effectively connecting it to the outside soil of the home.  This strengthens the foundation walls and stops the wall failure in its tracks.  The homeowners were excited to have their home stabilized and to have peace of mind!

A concrete staircase was sinking in Tunnel Hill, IL, causing large cracks to form and for them to become uneven. To solve these issues, 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 stairs and restore peace of mind for years to come!
