Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was leaking in a basement in Oakawville, IL, causing damage to the walls and floor. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Over the years, this Pleasant Plains, Illinois home's basement walls had become badly cracked and had begun to bow inward slightly. This caused the homeowner to worry about water leaks and a possible total wall collapse. In order to reinforce the damaged walls, a Woods Basement Systems installed several GeoLock wall supports. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil away from the foundation to steel plates affixed to the interior surface of the walls. 

A foundation wall was becoming unstable in Girard, IL, as it was bowing inward and cracking horizontally. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

Sagging floors and a musty crawl space plagued this home in New Berlin, Illinois.  Woods Basement Systems installed the SmartJack post support system and sealed the crawl space with the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system.

A retaining wall was bowing inward in New Berlin, IL, so GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!
