Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This Monticello, Illinois homeowner noticed water coming into his basement whenever it rained, but he was unable to determine the source. Needing expert help, he called Woods Basement Systems. After determining that the water was coming through the floor/wall seam, a Woods team installed WaterGuard drains under the floor to catch the leaks before they can make it into the space and a TwinPack sump pump to pipe that water out of the home. These products will keep the basement totally dry for decades to come.

A sump pump was no longer in operation in Monticello, IL, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid, which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This system will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

A concrete sidewalk that wraps around a home in Monticello, IL was settling, causing the slabs to sink and become uneven. 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 brick foundation was shifting in a basement in Monticello, IL, causing cracks to form and the wall to bow out. To solve this issue, specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

Moisture was seeping into a crawlspace in Monticello, 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!
