Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Shelbyville, IL, causing the atmosphere to become damp and musty. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. This crawlspace will remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners in Shelbyville, Illinois, wanted to replace their basement window with a Egress window and Window Well. Woods came out and did just that. This window well is large enough to climb out of and brightens up the space by letting in more light. With this install in place, this basement is much brighter and safer than before.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to fix this leaned in wall in Altamont, IL. Because the wall anchors are attached to a steel rod at the wall plate and will provide pressure to straighten out the wall. 

When Rebecca and Thomas C.'s walls began to bow in their basement, they were concerned. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed by Woods Basement Systems' Foreman James L. Now that the walls are straightened, it should prevent some water seapage. However, this basement could benefit from the installation of our waterproofing system.

This home in Altamont, IL. was experiencing water leaks through the tiny gap between the foundation walls and the floor. Although they had a sump pump to remove water in the home, the homeowners needed a perimeter drainage system to collect the leaks and direct them to the sump pump.

The best system for them was WaterGuard™. WaterGuard™ is a specially designed perimeter drainage system that gets installed directly on top of the footing just beneath the floor. Because it is on top of the footing, WaterGuard™ stays clear of the mud that surrounds the footing. Since it is out of the mud, WaterGuard™ doesn't need filter fabrics, which can clog and make other systems ineffective over time. WaterGuard™ will collect water as it rises above the footing, redirecting it to the sump pump before it can rise above the surface of the floor.

WaterGuard™ was installed along the walls around the existing sump pump and drained into the sump pit. This way, WaterGuard™ was able to work with existing waterproofing systems to keep the basement dry and protected.
