Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

Water had damaged the lower half of a basement wall in Marion, IL, so it was replaced with our EverLast Wall Restoration System. The trim of this system is all plastic and installed over metal studs, so no paint is ever needed. It also can’t be ruined by a plumbing leak or high humidity. It will also prevent mold from growing, keeping them looking fresh and clean for years to come!

Our ZenWall® panels and EverLast® ceiling tiles are installed in sectional systems.  These solution will not get moldy like drywall in a basement and it takes days to install and not weeks like framing, taping, sanding, priming, and painting drywall. These Marion, Illinois homeowners were pleased with the results!

Sue B. of Tebbetts, Missouri had been a previous customer that had her basement waterproofed by Woods Basement Systems. Pleased by the job they had done, she decided she wanted to finally finish her basement and add some additional value to her home and investment. Her walls had been finished before being damaged by water and were removed to install our waterproofing systems, luckily only the bottom half of the wall had been removed. This is a common problem for homeowners who have water entering their basement, the will cut off the bottom half of the drywall to have the basement and then are left wondering how to fix it. Sue knew the experts in All Things Basementy, Woods Basement Systems would have a solution to her problem.

We sent our foreman Frank U. and his team out to her home to install our patented Everlast Half Wall Restoration. Everlast is designed just for basement environments. With no drywall or paint, it won’t grow mold or be damaged by water. Installing Everlast was the perfect solution to finish Sue’s basement.

Springfield, Illinois resident David B. was frustrated with his cold, concrete basement floors. System design specialist Paul W. designed a solution to make David's basement more comfortable.

Andrew T., foreman, installed ThermaDry flooring. ThermaDry is waterproof and inorganic, so it does not support mold growth. ThermaDry has created a more comfortable living environment in addition to making the basement beautiful.

In the before photo you can see the basement floor showed signs of past water damage. To accomplish a more finished look and protect the floor from any future water damage, these Springfield, IL home owners choose to call Woods Basement Systems for our Total Basement Finishing Solutions!

Our installation team put in place the ThermalDry Floor matting tiles. This matting comes in carpet and tile options. The great feature about them is that there are raised pegs on the bottom of each tile to keep them lifted off the concrete floor. From the after photo you can see that this matting system looks like regular tile once completely installed. 

Both the tile and the carpet matting are water resistant and can quickly and easily be replaced should one ever be damaged from everyday ware and tare. Sometimes it's not even necessary to replace a tile, but simply switch it with one that is hidden under furniture or perhaps from a closet area.
