Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

John and Christine M. of Humboldt, Illinois were troubled by horizontal cracks in their block foundation. System Design Specialist Greg B. inspected the home and determined the cracks were a result of bowing walls. He designed a solution to restore the walls and keep the foundation supported.

Team Woods installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. These anchors help restore the walls to their original position and provide permanent support for the foundation. Wall covers were used to cover the installation of Geo-Lock. These wall covers blend in with the basement to provide a beautiful finish.

A home in Humboldt, Illinois, needed some stabilization as the foundations were starting to show signs of failure. Woods came out and installed exterior piers to help stabilize the home. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home will remain stable for many years to come.

Eugene Z was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Joshua L was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, shown above, in Eugene’s basement. The Anchor has two ends, one will attach to stable soil away from the house, and the other will attach to the basement wall. The device can be tightened and over time will straighten the walls.

This Olney, Illinois homeowner was having issues with water leaking into his basement whenever it rained. All of this moisture made it difficult to make effective use of the space, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains to catch leaks and replaced the home's old, inefficient sump pump with a brand new TripleSafe sump system. The basement is now totally water-free!

This home in Olney, IL. had a TripleSafe™ sump pump system installed to prevent a flooded basment. The TripleSafe™ system is the perfect system for protecting a home because it is packed with features like backup pumps, floor drains, battery backups and specially engineered liners and lids to name a few. 

To make sure this system stays at the top of its game, Mike B. from Woods Basement Systems performed a routine maintenance inspection. During this inspection, Mike checked each of the three sump pumps as well as the other features of the system. He also checks and - if needed - replaces the battery for the battery powered backup pump. If any of the pumps don't work properly he can even replace them that same day to ensure the TripleSafe™ system is in the best condition it can be in with no down time to wait for repairs. 

The TripleSafe™ system is the top of the line for protecting basements from flooding and it will stay that way thanks to the pro-active efforts of Mike B. and the Woods Basement Systems team.
