Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This Decatur, Illinois crawl space was suffering from mold and water seepage. Woods Basement Systems replaced the existing clogged sump pumps with the SmartPipe drainage system and sealed the crawlspace with a vapor barrier called CleanSpace.

In the photo you can see a shadow at the top of the wood studs on the foundation wall: this is how far in the finished drywall needed to be because of the bowing in effect.  The reason we were called out to this Decatur, Illinois home was to stop the wall from moving in any further.  The wall continued to push in damaging the finished drywall and the homeowner wanted to fix the problem once and for all.  Otherwise, just resetting the finished wall in a couple of inches only would buy time until the force of the inward movement would damage the drywall a second time.  We installed our Geo-Lock® wall anchoring system to permanently solve the problem.

A resident of Decatur, IL was not pleased when her sump pump couldn’t keep up with the heavy rains, resulting in a wet basement.  The pump wasn’t doing its job, which made it worthless and a waste of space.  The resident called Woods Basement Systems in hopes that they could solve the problem once and for all.  Woods replaced the old sump pump with a new TripleSafe.  The TripleSafe uses three different pumps in order to keep up with the incoming water and pump it away from the home.  The resident is now happy with her dry basement thanks to Woods’ installation of the TripleSafe.

This Decatur, IL resident's old sump pump was clogged and unreliable.  It could not keep up with the amount of incoming water during heavy rains, resulting in a wet basement.  Woods Basement Systems installed an UltraSump to keep the basement dry all the time.

Jeff H. discovered mold growing in his basement when water leaked in where the floor meets the wall. Gregory B., system design specialist, designed a solution to keep Jeff's Basement dry.

WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that guides water to the TwinPack sump pump system instaled by Juan H. and his crew. With the WaterGuard and TwinPack, Jeff's basement is no longer wet and moldy.
