Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Oblong, Illinois, needed some new support piers installed. Insufficient substitutes were no longer offering the support that the crawlspace needed to stay functional. Woods came in and installed new support posts to address this issue. The SmartJack System consists of custom-cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this system in place, homeowners can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will be stable for years to come.

A sidewalk leading up to a house in Allendale, IL was sinking, causing large gaps to appear between the slabs. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. Pea-sized holes were drilled into the concrete and the foam was injected to fill the void underneath. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

This homeowner was alarmed to see his baement walls bending inwards into his home. Design Specialist Greg B. from Woods Basement Systems inspected the damaged wall and recommended the ideal solution for the issue at hand.

Foreman Jeremy R. and his team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to brace the compromised wall. Geo-Lock uses a galvanized steel rod and heavy-duty steel plate to reinforce and potentially straighten foundation walls under strain. 

Carol E. of Villa Grove, IL had a failing sump pump in her basement. She had originally had the pump installed because of flooding issues in her basement. The old pump was not pumping water out of the basement quickly enough.

Woods Basement Systems installed a new sump pump to quickly. Carol had a TripleSafe pump installed to ensure the pump would work efficiently in almost all conditions. A TripleSafe pump has two pumps that work to evacuate the water from the basement and a battery back up to power the pump in case of a power outage.

Water was leaking in a basement in Villa Grove, IL, causing concern. 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 all the time!
