Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Du Quoin, IL were experiencing wall failure in the basement of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems 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 ecstatic with their supported foundation for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Du Quoin, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

A crawlspace in Du Quoin, Illinois, had some stability issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to fix these. This system consists of custom cut steel rods that are set in galvanized fill. Pushing up against the floor beams, the rods offer increased support for the home. They can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments without another costly install. With this system in place, this crawlspace is now stable once again. 

A basement in Du Quoin, IL, was leaking during heavy rain. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump will discharge the collected water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can have peace of mind that their basement will remain dry for years to come! 

This Nashville, Illinois basement was water damaged and in desperate need of protection. To solve this issue, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains in the footing of the basement walls to prevent water from leaking in. These drains stop water leaks in their tracks and direct them towards the sump pump.
