Foreman Miguel O installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor and used PolyLevel to even out the floors. The Wall Anchor has two ends, one will attach to a level of stable soil away from the house.

PolyLevel is injected into the concrete and will push up the portion that is sinking. The injection leaves behind a dime-sized hole and will be filled in with concrete.  

Norvel O. of De Soto, Missouri noticed that his basement was collecting water after heavy rain showers. He did not want have to continously clean up a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Brenton K. assessed the situation and decided the best option was to install a Twin Pack sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman William H. then traveled to the home to get the job started.

The Waterguard drainage system was placed above the footing of the basement. After installation was complete, it was covered with concrete. The Waterguard collects and drains any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The Twin Pack sump pump is equipped with both a primary and secondary pump. This means that if the primary pump goes out for whatever reason, the secondary pump will kick in. The sump pump collects and removes water from the home, sending it out through a discharge line.

Norvel O. is happy he no longer has to worry about a flooded basement after big storms. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.

The WaterGuard drainage system was placed above the footing of the basement and was then covered with concrete. It collects the water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump has a primary, secondary, and battery powered pump. The sump pump collects water and removes it from the home through an exterior discharge line.

Leonard D. no longer has to worry about his basement flooding and causing damage. He now has a dry and waterproof home.

A steel rod connects a wall plate on the inside of the basement to an anchor placed in stable soil outside. These wall anchors stabilize the and straighten the walls. 

Norvel O. was very happy with the work done to his home. He no longer has to worry about his basement wall bowing. He now has a safe and stable walls in his home.

The IceGuard ensures that water can still flow freely even if the discharge line becomes frozen. Finally, Waterguard was inserted in the concrete floor right next to the wall. The Waterguard collects and sends any water leaking from the wall or floor seam to the sump pump. All of these products together insure that there will be no more leaks or wet basement.

Homeowner Elaine B. in De Soto, MO. suspected that there were some issues in her basement. After reaching out to Woods Basement Systems, our system design specialist, Thomas W. went to De Soto to do an inspection. During the inspection, he found that the walls of the basement were bowing inward. The bowing of the walls were likely due to the amount of moisture in the soil, which causes intense pressure around the home. Thomas W. quickly came up with a solution that would restore the foundation of the basement walls.

Foreman Miguel O. installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor to fix the problem. This is the best solution to straighten up the walls while also creating stability for the home. This procedure involves light equipment, which also makes it the quickest and cleanest solution. The Geo-Lock is placed into the soil to create the solid foundation. The anchors are then attached to the walls while also being anchored to the outside yard by a steel rod. With a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor, a home can only improve. Because of Woods Basement Systems, Elaine B. could not be any happier knowing the foundation of her home is now secure!

The foundation walls of Jolene B.’s De Soto, MO home were cracked. The cracks had formed along the cement blocks in areas of the wall that were bulging and tilting inward. The weaknesses in the foundation walls and the wall joints had allowed water leak in and rot the wood frames in the basement so she called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Brenton K. inspected the basement and recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors and a waterproofing system.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked, bulging walls. Galvanized steel anchor rods were driven through the foundation walls and connected to steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard. Steel wall plates are attached to the anchor rods on the inside and the components are tightened. They clamps the walls to counteract external soil pressure and permanently stabilize them in place. They can also straighten walls over time by tightening the anchors during dry seasons.

WaterGuard was installed under the concrete floors along the foundation wall. WaterGuard is situated on top of the footing to keep it free from silt and plant roots as it collects water from the foundation floors and walls and drains it to the sump pump.

The Twin Pack was installed to accept the intruding water and pump it out and away from the basement through its discharge lines. The Twin Pack contains two powerful cast-iron pumps to protect the basement from water, even in heavy downpours.

IceGuards were installed on the discharge lines on the exterior of the home. IceGuards prevent water from getting back into the basement in the event that the lines become frozen by giving water an alternative escape route through its slotted openings.

Jolene B. is relieved now that her foundation walls are safe and secure and her basement will remain dry.

     Joe is a homeowner in De Soto. In 2013, fed up with his wet basement, he made a life-changing (or at least home-changing) decision: he called Woods Basement Systems!

     Today, his basement looks and feels drier, cleaner, and healthier. Why? It's a three-part answer. Part one is the WaterGuard, a drainage system running the perimeter of the basement floor. WaterGuard rests atop the concrete footing rather than in mud; it will not ever clog!

     Part two is the TripleSafe, the surest choice among all sump pumps. This patented system collects water from the WaterGuard and pumps it out to a LawnScape Outlet, where the water is drained safely away from Joe's home. TripleSafe has a second pump to put the mind at ease and a back-up battery for when the power goes out.

     Last but not least, Joe purchased three beautiful SunHouse Window Wells. Not only do they brighten up his basement, but these waterproof wells protect your basement window from the elements, dirt, and debris. 

      Joe took advantage of Woods' free home inspection, and so can you. Our certified specialists will be able to describe your exact basement issue and recommend a plan for repair. Keep your basement dry the Woods way!
