Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was bowing inward in a basement in Du Quoin, IL, causing large horizontal cracks to appear and leak water. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

Water was leaking down a basement wall in Du Quoin, IL, so the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the WaterGuard System. 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

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.
