Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Linda S. of Litchfield, IL had a lot cracks in her foundation walls and floors. Long horizontal cracks had formed along the bowing stone block walls and made Linda worried that the walls might fail, so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended foundation wall support systems.

As part of that wall support system, Woods installed PowerBraces. PowerBraces are adjustable steel columns fit snuggly against the walls with steel brackets attached to the floor joists and concrete floors. The PowerBraces prevent future damage and stabilize walls in place. They can also be adjusted during dry months for the opportunity to improve the wall.

Tim C was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Adam R was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor in Tim’s basement. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to stable soil away from the house, and the other end will attach to the basement walls. The device will be tightened and overtime will straighten the wall.

Ryan D. of Litchfield, Illinois had water leaking into his basement, so he call Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, Clint W. found a solution and recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Joshua B. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump has three ways that guarantees it to keep you home dry all year round: a primary pump, a secondary pump and a backup battery-powered pump. The WaterGuard installed around the perimeter of the basement floor and it is used to collect water that seeps through the basement walls and guides it to the sump pump to be removed from the home.

Now Ryan D. has a dry basement. 

This Litchfield, Illinois basement's sump pump was not up to the task. It was loud, dirty, ineffective, and the homeowner was eager to get rid of it. First, a Woods Basement Systems team removed the existing sump pit. After this, a brand new TripleSafe sump pump was installed. The TripleSafe comes equipped with three separate pumps, including a battery backup, and is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour. 

A concrete driveway in Litchfield, IL was settling, causing the slabs to crack and become uneven. To solve this issue, Woods injected the PolyLevel System into the concrete. This will stabilize, lift, and level the slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. NexusPro Joint Sealant was also added to seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. This will provide long-lasting flexibility and will stand up to harsh weather conditions. This concrete will remain level for years to come!
