Durable Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair & more in Carterville, IL

Homeowner Kristie R. of Carterville, Illinois was having problems with rainwater in her basement. After a heavy storm, she noticed that water was coming in the basement at the floor/wall joint. She made a call to Woods Basement Systems to see what they could do to solve her problem.

In Carterville, Illinois homeowners Doug and Gayla B. were having problems with their crawl space. The battery in their sump pump was not working so they decided to call Woods Basement Systems to fix it.

We sealed the crawl space with spray foam and installing our UltraSump. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona to clear up the extra moisture that was in the air. Next, we waterproofed the basement using our WaterGuard system. Now, the couple’s home is safe and dry for years to come.

Jon from Carterville, Illinois wanted to store his extra storage into the crawl space, but due to the water that would leak inside, he knew his items would be damaged. Team Woods looked at Jon's crawl space and noticed that his crawl space had no means of protection against water leaks. System design specialist, Mike A., suggested installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system to seal the crawl space from harm. 

The CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed by head foreman, Jesse C., and his crew. This CleanSpace vapor barrier will block outer elements from harming the crawl space and it will keep the crawl space fresh and clean. Now that the CleanSpace system has been installed, John can now use the extra space as storage like he wanted! 

Maria and Tim of Carterville, Illinois had been experiencing a leaking, moldy basement, so they decided to call Woods Basement Systems for their perfect solution. Our systems design specialist, Todd, recommended installing a WaterGuard system along with our CleanSpace encapsulation system. 

Foreman, Juan H. and his crew installed the products. Our WaterGuard french draining system is design to collect all water that enters a home. These drains are installed around the perimeter of the basement and guide the water to the sump pump. 

CleanSpace is used to collect water that seeps through the basement walls. It is a vapor barrier made of inorganic materials, so it does not support mold growth.

Now Maria and Tim can use their dry, watertight basement for storage. 

Chris G. of Carterville, Illinois noticed that his home's basement was collecting water every time it stormed. He did not want to have to keep cleaning up a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Brandon B. assessed the situation and formulated the perfect solution. Foreman Melvin F. then headed to the home to install a TripleSafe sump pump, a CleanSpace wall system, a Waterguard drainage system, and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier.

The Waterguard drainage system was placed above the footing of the basement. It drains any water rising from the ground before it reaches the basement surface. The CleanSpace wall system is a plastic liner that was attached to the walls of the basement. It acts as a vapor barrier and drains any leaks behind it. The SaniDry XP is a powerful dehumidifier that not only removes water vapor, but also filters the air for dust, mold spores, and other allergens. Finally, the TripleSafe sump pump removes water from the basement through a discharge line. It is equipped with a primary, secondary, and battery powered pump.

Chris G. no longer has to worry his home's basement flooding after big storms. He now has a waterproof and dry basement.

The TripleSafe sump pump system was installed. TripleSafe is equipped with a main pump, backup pump and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry. TripleSafe is also sealed closed, so water and moisture cannot escape back into the basement. In addition to TripleSafe, IceGuard was installed. IceGuard provides an exit for water in the event that discharge lines become frozen or clogged.

Jim's basement is dry, and he is pleased to know it will stay dry.

This Carterville, IL homeowner didn’t want to completely finish his basement, but also wanted something to give it a clean and polished look, while adding waterproof protection.  In the past, he had tried coating the walls with paints and sealants, but moisture still permeated through them.  This only made the walls look worse due to the peeling and flaky coatings on them.

Woods solved this homeowner’s issue by installing BrightWall.  The BrightWall Paneling System turns basements that may otherwise have been unusable into attractive, dry living spaces. The resident was very pleased with the end result and now enjoys a clean and dry basement.
