Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was seeping into a basement in Oakley, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday 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 that reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!

Homeowners in Bethany, IL wanted to replace their basement window well, as it was rising and water was entering it. To solve this issue, the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. It will never rust, rot, or corrode, and will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home!

A basement in Bethany, Illinois, needed some new supports as the current ones were beginning to fail. Woods came in and installed the SmartJack System to offer increased support for the floor joists above. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this install in place, this basement will be stable for years into the future.

Cracks and bowing foundation walls can seriously devalue a home and might scare off potential buyers for the home. Adam S. was worried about the cracks in his walls when putting his home up for sale so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along the crack walls. Earth anchors are embedded into the yard and connected to wall plates on the inside of the walls by steel anchor rods. They permanently stabilize walls and restore value to the home.

Carey of Mt. Zion, Illinois had a moist, dirty crawl space that needed to be repair, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, Gregory B. recommended installing a Twin Pack pump, a CleanSpace encapsulation system, and a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.

Foreman, James L. installed the products. The Twin Pack pump includes two stainless steel pumps that are placed at different levels to help protect against flooding and leaks. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier made of inorganic materials, so it does not support mold growth. It helps to seal off a crawl space form dirt, critters, and moisture. The Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier works to keeps your crawl space dry by keeping moisture out. 

Now Carey F. has a healthy, clean crawl space.
