Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A sump pump was failing to run when the power went out in a basement in Bridgeport, IL, so the UltraSump Battery Back-Up Pumping System was installed. This will come in handy if the power goes out in the future. It will also automatically turn on if the primary pump fails to run. This will provide reliability and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Moisture was seeping into a crawlspace in Bridgeport, IL, creating a damp and musty environment. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. This crawlspace will now stay dry all the time!

This homeowner's crawlspace was dirty, poorly insulated, and vulnerable to outside air. This can cause mold to grow, critters to find their way in, difficulty to regulate temperature in the entire house. This crawlspace was also unsupported, and at risk of failing if not properly fixed. To remedy these issues, the CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed, which insulates, cleans, and locks moisture out of the crawlspace. This keeps bugs, water, and mold from entering the underground area. Additionally, the PowerBrace system was installed to permanently stabilize the crawlspace and prevent any inward movement, closing cracks and straightening the walls to their original position.

Longview, Illnois homeowner Floyd had several cracks in multiple cinder block foundation walls of home. Concerned about the integrity of his home, he contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free foundation estimate. 

Design specialist Greg B. determined the best solution for Floyd's home would be the installation of PowerBraces along the cracked walls, which can stop further damage and potentially straighten the wall. This system involves no exterior excavation and permanently stabilizes the wall. It is one of the many customizable solutions we offer for stabilizing bowing, tipping, or buckling foundation walls. 

Floyd can now rest assured him home's foundation is stable.

Bowing and cracking foundation walls present quite a problem. Not only are the cracks unsightly, they often lead to water leaks and even a potential for total wall collapse. These issues don't just solve themselves; they require expert attention. With this in mind, this Longview, Illinois homeowner contacted Woods Basement Systems to remedy his badly bowing and cracking basement walls. A Woods team installed several PowerBrace supports all along the basement walls to prevent further bowing and straighten them over time!
