Homeowner Richard S. from Salem, IL. wisely chose Woods Basement Systems to install a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to protect his home.

The TripleSafe™ system is the best in home protection with its three powerful pumps. The first pump in the TripleSafe™ is a standard sump pump that is often installed on its own during construction of a home. The second pump is an even stronger pump that can kick in to keep the basement dry if conditions get too tough for the first pump alone. A third, battery-powered pump can turn on to help the first two in dangerously high water conditions, but can also turn on on its own if the power goes out and the first two pumps can't operate. These three pumps can work together or independantly to protect against flooded basements.

At this home in Salem, IL. Todd G. from Woods Basement Systems inspected the TripleSafe™ system to ensure it was able to work in peak condition. During his inspection, Todd replaced an old pump as well as the battery for the battery-powered backup pump. He was able to do this during that same visit, making sure that there was no down time where the system was not at full strength.

Richard S.'s home will be safe going forward thanks to a new primary pump and battery making sure that his TripleSafe™ is as effective as ever. 

Kathy I. used to live in a home in Salem, IL with a dirt crawlspace. To protect her home from the damaging water vapors and mold that dirt crawlspaces can create, Kathy I. turned to Wood's Basement Systems to install their vapor barrier CleanSpace™.

The CleanSpace™ barrier protects her home from harmful water vapors as well as being mold-resistant. To keep the crawlspace in the best condition, foreman Ben S. performed an annual maintenance check. In addition to making sure the vapor barrier was in good condition, Ben S. also checked for mold or damage to the crawlspace and replaced the filter in the dehumidifier.

In one quick check-up, Ben S. made sure that Kathy I. had a crawlspace that would stand up in tough weather conditions for another year and many more to come.

Billie of Salem, Illinois was tired of water leaking into the basement of her split-level home during periods of rain. She was anxious to waterproof her space quickly and professionally, so she called the experts at Woods Basement Systems.

Foreman Brett and his team started the waterproofing process by installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier, an inorganic material used to seal out the walls and moisture from the basement itself, on the face of the basement walls. After this, WaterGuard drains were put in place underneath the floor at the base of the walls to catch any leaks. Finally, a TripleSafe sump system, capable of removing over 10,000 gallons of water per hour, was installed in the basement. Billie's basement is now as dry and safe from water as it could possibly be!

Kyle of Salem, Illinois knew that it was time to fix-up his basement once he noticed his basement walls bowing and cracking. He searched for a company that could solve his basement issues and found Woods Basement Systems. For there he spoke with system design specialist, Sam W., who recommended saving the structure of his basement with PowerBraces.

PowerBraces are made of strong steel beams that are installed into the wall to permanently stabilize the wall. These beams are custom-fit for each home's measurements that ensure all PowerBraces will work to their greatest compacity.

Dean W. of Salem, Illinois was shocked to discover his home's crawl space was holding water after heavy storms. He knew that standing water could cause mold growth or rotting, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Kevin E. assessed the situation and decided the best option was to install a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SmartSump sump pump, a SmartPipe drainage system, and a SaniDry CX dehumidifier. Foreman Joshua B. then headed to the home to get the job started.

The CleanSpace encapsulation system is a durable liner that was placed over the floors and up the walls of the crawl space. It acts as a vapor barrier and drains any leaks that occur behind it. The SmartPipe drainage system accepts water from both the surface and the soil of the crawl space. It then drains the water to the sump pump. The SmartSump is a sump pump made specifically for crawl spaces. It removes the water from the crawl space through a discharge line. Finally, the SaniDry CX is a dehumidifier that fits perfectly in the crawl space. It removes water vapor from the air of the crawl space.

Dean W. no longer has to worry about his home's crawl space collecting water. He now has a dry and waterproof crawl space.

Woods installed CleanSpace to seal off the crawlspace from outside moisture. This would reduce the risk of mold and rotting wood by eliminating the amount of moisture in the crawlspace. Vent covers were also installed for additional sealing. Vent covers are fit to the vents of the home to create an air tight seal that prevents moisture from seep through.

Woods also installed a SaniDry. The SaniDry system filters moisture out of the air and makes the crawlspace less humid. Controlling the humidity in the crawlspace is important to preventing mold. The less moisture, the harder it is for the mold to grow.

Lisa and Billy dreamed of having a beautiful basement. Before Woods Basement System, the dream was just that--a dream. The basement walls were cracking and bowing, and despite homemade attempts to seal the windows water still continuously leaked in. The leaks stained the walls; paint would only cover the problem until the next rainfall. The bowing walls definitely concerned them; it was only going to get worse.

However, Woods told Lisa and Billy that their dream could become reality. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors installed by a Woods team held the bowing walls in place, and five SunHouse Window Wells increased brightness in the basement and stopped water from entering.

Woods also installed WaterGuard, two different waterproofing systems that seamlessly work together to keep any basement dry.

WaterGuard is a patented drainage system that runs along the perimeter of the basement above the footing; its unique design keeps debris from clogging the system. WaterGuard includes special above-ground flanges that create a tiny amount of space between the wall and the ground; water from the wall will go right into WaterGuard instead of your basement floor!

Lisa and Billy now have their dream basement thanks to Woods Basement Systems. The floor and walls are dry, the foundation is supported properly, and the windows stopped leaking!
