Water Leakage
This homeowner called Woods Basement Systems right away to prevent water from further damaging the foundation of the home.
Stained Walls
Water would leak into this basement during heavy rains and would leave this basement water damaged and musty. Over time water can weaken the home's foundation and could lead to a domino effect of issues.
Beginning to Bow
Contrary to belief, water is heavy and when it rains the soil that is saturated can place a lot of pressure on the basement walls. This pressure can lead to cracking, bowing, or movement of the walls that can generate expensive and extensive repairs.
French Drains
In the footing of the basement walls a French drainage system called WaterGuard was installed. These drains will prevent water from leaking inside and creating damage.
Waterproofing & Foundation Repairs
Along with the drainage system, on the walls, Team Woods installed PowerBrace beams to resecure the walls.
Tightened Beams
PowerBrace beams are a permanent foundation stabilizer that locks the wall into place. These I-beams are made out of durable galvanized steel to strengthen the walls. They are tightened into the ceiling and floor to straighten the walls over time.
PowerBrace Beams + WaterGuards
This duo will prevent any further water damage or structural damage by keeping out pesky water leaks and moving the walls back into a stable position.
Job Complete
This basement is now secure and ready for use again!
