Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This basement was leaking, causing foundation damage and cracks in the walls. This homeowner chose to have the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system installed, which collects the water that drains along the walls and pumps it into the TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump will powerfully pump the collected water out and away from the property. This will keep the house dry and keep the foundation from failing.

Homeowners in Highland, IL had unlevel concrete leading up to the front of their home which was a potential tripping hazard.  They reached out to Woods Basement Systems to help them effectively and efficiently level their pathway.  Our team installed the PolyLevel System, which is a unique approach to repairing sinking concrete.  After drilling small holes into the concrete, a polymer foam is injected into the concrete slab to stabilize and level the surface.  The homeowners were happy with their leveled pathway for years to come!

A sidewalk leading up to a house was sinking in Highland, IL, causing a step to form. 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!

A concrete wall supporting some landscaping alongside a home was starting to bow, threatening to fall entirely if a solution wasn't found. Woods came out and installed the GeoLock System to correct this problem. Steel plates are placed directly on the concrete wall. These plates are connected by metal rods to steel anchors buried some ways away from the home. This system will effectively stabilize the wall and move it back to its original position. It also can be tightened over time, preventing this type of issue in the future. Thanks to Woods, this wall will remain stable for many years to come.
