The major flaw of concrete is that the ground that it was poured on top of will inevitably shift and sink over time. In the states of Illinois and Missouri sinking concrete is all too common which is why our company has gone to great lengths to develop fast and effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions. PolyLevel is a revolutionary product that is minimally invasive and not only lifts and levels concrete but also stabilizes it.
This concrete lifting and leveling technique is faster, less disruptive, and arguably more effective than mud jacking, which is the standard that PolyLevel replaces. We even offer SealantPro concrete sealing, which extends slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application. This concrete sealing system is resistant to moisture, oil, UV rays, abrasions, and more.
To remove tripping hazards, stabilize concrete, and lift it back to a level height nothing is faster or more effective than PolyLevel concrete leveling. After, our concrete sealing system will preserve your slabs for a lifetime. To schedule a FREE concrete lifting and leveling or concrete sealing estimate, contact us today!

This week Mellissa & Dan D had there wall realigned back to its original location by having the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System installed. In the past they had contacted us here at Woods Basement Systems to come out and inspect their wall that had several cracks in it from the hydrostatic pressure pushing up against it. Woods sent out an inspector to take a look at what was going on and to give his professional opinion to what system was going to do the best job for them. As stated above, Mellissa & Dan went ahead and purchased the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System to have the cracks in the wall closed up and the wall straightened back up.
A production crew was sent out lead by Jeremy Raby to have the work done correctly. When looking to fix a wall painting over the cracks in the wall is never the best idea due to the fact that the water is going to find a new way through the wall. With the wall anchors tightened on and in place, the original staircase cracks as well and horizontal cracks closed right up. Mellissa & Dan took a look at their wall and were amazed with how the cracks they were so worried about had closed up. If you know or are in need of wall re alignment and would like your home inspected, give us a call here at Woods Basement Systems.

IceGuard is installed on the discharge line next to the house and allows water to escape through it when it is necessary.
Lena K. of Washington, MO had a radon problem in her home. She tested for radon and found that the radon level in her home was 10.7 pCi/l which is much higher than 4.0 pCi/l, the level that the EPA recommends a home be at or below for indoor air. Radon is a radioactive carcinogen and the second leading cause of lung cancer so Lena called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Matt S. recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System.
The soil under and around the home is the largest source of radon. Woods drilled a hole in the slab foundation floor to provide an area of least resistance that will draw radon gas up through it. The hole is connected to PVC pipes that can run inside or outside the home and directs the gas upward. Passive mitigation systems use the same system of pipes to ventilate radon away from the home but are not always reliable in keeping radon levels before 4pCi/l. In this active system,the pipe is connected to a fan in the attic that runs continuously, without making noise or using much power, to the gas safely away from the home.
Lena K. is relieved that she no longer has to worry about her home’s air safety or the hazards of radon gas.

Michael and Janet of West County began noticing water coming into their basement where the floor meets the wall during heavy rains. The water had already damage furniture and valuables, and they wanted to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
A Woods Basement Systems team led by foreman Tyler S. got to work quickly and began waterproofing the space. First, a WaterGuard drainage system was installed underneath the floor at the base of the walls to catch leaks before they're able to make it into the space.

Jeremy gave the recommendation of installing push piers into the footing of the foundation to lock and lift the foundation back into its original place.
Several push piers were installed by foreman Miguel O. and his crew. Push piers are made out of durable galvanized steel and are drilled below the foundation to lift it into place. These piers take the pressure off of the home and the soil that supports the house and places the burden onto the piers. Connie thankfully won't have to worry about the safety of her foundation for many years to come!
Even though this home in Manchester, MO has a good sump pump, it could still be in danger of flooding and water damage. That's because the all the water this pump expels has to go through a single pipe. If there is too much water in the basement, the pipe won't be able to keep up, even if the pump can.
The solution is simple; add an extra pipe. Foreman Dave P. was able to replace the restrictive drainage system in this Manchester home by installing a new sump pump and exit line. The new sump pump works more comfortably and the allowed room for a second pipe to help drain the basement.
Now, if water levels get too high for the original piping, there's a second set ready to help relieve the pressure and keep the basement dry.
In Manchester, Missouri homeowner John F. was worried about the cracks forming on the inside and outside of his home. After finding several large cracks in the basement and one outside of his home that had already broken and exposing the inside of his home. John decided to call Woods Basement Systems to help find a solution to his foundation settlement problems.
Our foremen Jeremy Raby and his team were sent out to the Manchester home to install the perfect solution to John’s problem. Here at Woods, we have many solutions to fix your foundation settlement such as the PowerBrace system, and GeoLock Wall Anchor system. In John’s home, we installed the PowerBrace system to permanently stabilize and straighten his home overtime. John will never have to worry about finding anymore cracks in and around his home.
This basement in Chesterfield, MO. was experiencing water leaks through tiny cracks in the foundation walls. These cracks would allow water to leak into the basement, where it would soak into the back of the finished wall. Over time, this small leak would cause large damage to the vulnerable materials of the wall like the wood, insulation and paint.
To protect these walls, foreman Mike J. from Woods Basement Systems installed CleanSpace™ across the surface of the foundation walls behind the finished walls. CleanSpace™ is a vapor barrier designed to protect crawlspaces, but has been adapted to also work in basements. It works by permanently fastening to the foundation wall and blocking any water leaks from passing through to the finished wall on the other side. CleanSpace™ is made from a tear-proof material designed to last and features an anti-microbial layer that blocks mold growth across its surface. Any water that gets blocked by CleanSpace™ gets funneled down into the perimeter drainage system, where it gets carried to the sump pump and removed from the home.
With CleanSpace™ on the foundation walls, the finished walls will stay protected and dry and the homeowners won't have to worry about replacing them because of water damage.
Window wells are often made from sheets of corrugated metal that barely hold back the dirt around the window and do nothing to stop the water and mud that can rain in from above or seap up from below. The metal sheets can also grow rusty and dirt floor of the window well can grow weeds that block the light.
Rather than live with dirty windows and dingy window wells, homeowner Jackie G. hired Woods Basement Systems to improve her basement windows with SunHouse™ window well enclosures. The SunHouse™ is more than a simple metal sheet that holds back some dirt, it is an entire enclosure that protects the window from every direction. The SunHouse™ is made of a rigid material that will not only hold back the ground around the window, but also covers the bottom of the window well to block weed growth and mud from rising in front of the window. The top of the enclosure is made from a clear plastic that allows light to enter the window without letting rain or debris from falling into the window well. Because the floor and walls of the SunHouse™ are bright (and not muddy or rusty) they will reflect even more light into the basement, making the inside brighter and cheerier as well.
With the SunHouse™ enclosure surrounding the window, Jackie G. won't have to worry about dirty, leaky or obstructed windows anymore. Instead, this basment will have bright, clean windows that will stay clean and clear and look great.
Many basement windows leak as the window well or the groung around the window fills with water. This water level rises until it's even with the window, where it leaks in through the gaps and cracks around the window frame. This water will drip down the inside of the wall, where it can cause damage to anything leaning against the wall and can puddle up on the floor or evaporate into the basement air. All of these possibilities are harmful to the health of the basment and indeed the house as a whole.
Rather than allowing the water to build up outside the window, Ben S. installed a WellDuct™ that would drain the area before the water levels could get too high. The WellDuct™ works by adding a drain beneath the window through which water can flow. The water enters the basement through a covered and sealed channel that directs the water down into the perimeter drainage system. From there, the water is carried to the sump pump, which will remove it from the home entirely. This entire journey is traveled through protected channels that prevent the water from ever leaking into the basement space where it could cause problems. As an added bonus, the WellDuct™ system has a slim design that allows it to be hidden away behind the finished wall that it is protecting.
The wooden studs and drywall of this finished wall will be protected from leaking windows thanks to the WellDuct™ that drains the water away before it can leak inside.
