Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

James S. of Maryville, Illinois was concerned about the large crack that was beginning to sink in his driveway. He was concered about the saftey of his friends and family as well as the look and value of his home. James was looking for a quicker and easier soultion than replacing the entire driveway, without the look of odd colored grids on his driveway. He decided to call Woods Basement Systems to fix his concrete problem.

We had a soultion to fit all the needs of James driveway problem. Foremen Mason Sykes used our PolyLevel System to repair the sinking concrete. PolyLevel is a high-density, lightweight, structural-grade polymers to lift, level and stabilize slabs. With hardly no cleanup or hold-time, James was able to use his leveled driveway within a few hours time.

Homeowners Ron and Ruth of Maryville, Missouri were worried about the foundation of their home. Cracks were forming and growing on the walls inside and outside of their home, indicating signs of foundation settlement. They called Woods Basement Systems to see if they had a solution to solve their foundation issues once and for all.

Our foreman Jesse Crotser and his team installed PowerBrace; a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. This system can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter. Once the system was installed, Ron and Ruth were happy knowing their home would be stable for years to come!

Homeowners in Maryville, IL had several old and covered window wells that were deteriorating and blocked a large portion of the light out.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures.  The SunHouse is a new way to protect a basement window that keeps rain out, reflects natural light into the basement, and prevents weeds from growing inside.  The homeowners were ecstatic with their new window installations and all of the light that is now let into their basement!

BEFORE: Water found its way into this Sparta, Illinois crawl space. Standing water and the humidity from it began to negatively affect the insulation and integrity of the home.

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system with a sump pump as well as a dehumidifier. This crawl space is now completely dry and maintains a humidity level below 60%—which helps control mold and create a drier, healthier, more energy-efficient space.

Block foundation walls are hollow inside and hold water that can leak into your basement, like in this Sparta, Illinois home.  A vertical vapor barrier should be installed, working with the perimeter basement waterproofing system before finishing with drywall.  Our CleanSpace® wall covering is the perfect solution for this block foundation.
