Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement wall was failing in Litchfield, as it was shifting and cracks were appearing. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to permanently stabilize a home’s foundation. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners in Litchfield, IL had water leaking into their basement and reached out to Woods Basement Systems for help.  Our team installed the WaterGuard Drainage System into their basement.  The WaterGuard system adds protection around your home that prevents any future leaks that may occur.  It works by catching the water and channeling it to the pump and out of your home.  Once the drainage system was installed, the homeowners were happy with their dry basement for years to come!

This homeowner was alarmed to see bowing and cracking in his basement walls, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. Design Specialist Brenton K. assessed the situation and recommended a permanent solution for the homeowner's foundation repair needs.

Foreman Jeremy R. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to stabilize and potentially straighten the walls. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod that anchors into dense, packed soil and connects to heavy duty plates for reliable, long-lasting support.

Du Quoin, IL homeowner John noticed horizontal and stair step cracks around the entire perimeter of his basement walls. This concerned him becasue the area was used by his family in a variety of ways. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Brenton K. developed a plan to fix the walls. 

Foreman Jeremy R. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors on each wall to pull the walls back to straight. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are made of steel so they will not rust. The rods are anchored to steel plates behind the active soil surrounding the house. The rods provide resistance and over time can be tightened to bring the wall back to its original position. 

John L. now has piece of mind that his walls will not bow anymore and the area will be drier. 

Water was leaking by a basement door in Du Quoin, IL, and causing mold to grow. To solve this issue, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed.  This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. Any other leaks will be caught by TrenchDrain, which was installed in front of the door to prevent water from entering other parts of the basement. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!
