Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

These Fairfield, IL homeowners had an old, dirty sump pump that was not able to keep up with the amount of water in and around their basement. They contacted Woods Basement Systems to get an estimate on the cost of replacing the old sump pump as well as other option for waterproofing their basement.

As part of our WaterGuard waterproofing system, the customers selected the TwinPack Sump Pump with a primary and secondary pump. In case of primary pump failure, the secondary pump will kick in. Also, the pumps can work in unison in the case of a large volume of water.

These Fairfield, IL homeowners had a WaterGuard waterproofing system installed in their home. This system included the WaterGuard drainage system, a new sump pump with a primary and secondary pump, as well as the IceGuard on the exterior of the home.

The IceGuard protects the basement from sump pump overflow in the case of frozen or clogged main discharge lines. It allows the water to safely escape from the basement to the outside of the home.

A concrete porch in Fairfield, IL was settling, causing cracks to appear and become uneven. To solve this issue, Woods injected the PolyLevel System into the concrete. 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. NexusPro Joint Sealant was also used to seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. This will provide long-lasting flexibility and will stand up to harsh weather conditions. This porch will remain level and stable for years to come!

A foundation in a Mason, IL basement was settling, causing cracks to appear. These cracks were also leaking water, causing mold to grow. To solve these issues, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed.  This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Next, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump system to be pumped out of the house. Lastly, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation walls, straightening them to their original position and keeping them there. This basement will remain, dry, clean, and stable for years to come thanks to these systems!
