The WaterGuard™ system drains into the sump pump so that the water it collects can be removed from the home. In this home, the sump pump was a TripleSafe™. The TripleSafe™ is a powerful sump pump system that uses three seperate pumps to expell water from the home at an incredible rate. One of the three pumps is also battery powered, meaning it can turn on when the other two can't to keep the basement dry and protected during power outages. The TripleSafe™ also features an air-tight lid that will prevent water from evaporating into the basement air and a WaterWatch™ alarm that can alert homeowners to dangerous water levels and even leaks coming from inside the home such as plumbing leaks.

This system prevents further damage from happening and permanently stabilizes the home. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor system also potentially straightens the wall over time. 

David S. is now at peace knowing that his home stable. 

Louise F. of Collinsville, Illinois noticed that water was entering her home's basement. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every storm, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Nolan M. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system, a BrightWall paneling system, and a Twin Pack sump pump. Foreman Mason S. then traveled to the home to get the job started.

The Waterguard drainage system was placed above the footing of the basement. It collects and removes any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The BrightWall paneling system is fastened to the walls of the basement. It acts as a vapor barrier and drains any leaks that may occur behind it, all while brightening the basement. Finally, the Twin Pack sump pump is equipped with a primary and secondary pump. The sump pump removes water from the basement through a discharge line.

Louise F. no longer has to worry about her home's basement flooding. She now has a waterproof and dry home.

Bessie and Steve J were concerned about the cracks on their driveway.  So they decided to call Woods Basement Systems.  System Design Specialist Matthew S was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Juan H used PolyLevel on Bessie and Steve’s driveway.  The poly level is injected into the concrete and will push up the portions that are sinking, and fill in the cracks.  The injection leaves behind a dime sized hole that will be filled in with concrete.

Brandon and Katrina V. of Collinsville, IL noticed that the concrete slabs in the driveway leading to their home were sinking and settling unevenly, causing cracks.  Concrete settling happens naturally due to an accumulation of the weight of the concrete over time in addition to an accumulation of the weight of what the concrete is holding up, and does not always settle evenly. Aware of potential issues for the home, in addition to dangers such as tripping, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Systems Design Specialist Matthew S. evaluated the situation and determined that the appropriate solution would be for foreman Andrew T. to install PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a foam injection that is installed in 4 simple steps and works to lift the concrete back to its original position and fill in cracks.

Since the installation of PolyLevel, Brandon and Katrina are no longer concerned about the potential issues that the uneven settlement was causing for the home or for themselves such as tripping.

Judy and Gary S. of Collinsville, IL noticed that the concrete slabs in the sidewalk leading to their home were sinking and settling unevenly. Concrete settling happens naturally due to an accumulation of the weight of the concrete over time in addition to an accumulation of the weight of what the concrete is holding up, and does not always settle evenly. Aware of potential issues for the home in addition to dangers such as tripping, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Systems Design Specialist Jeremy R. evaluated the situation and determined that the appropriate solution would be for foreman Andrew T. to install PolyLevel.

Homeowner, Kyle P. of Collinsville, IL noticed his basement floors were sinking and uneven. Once he realized the hazardous condition and unpleasant appearance of his basement floors, he gave Woods Basement Systems a call. 

System design specialist, Chris S. did a detailed inspection on the basement and created a design that would ensure the homeowner leveled basement floors. Foreman, James L. headed over to do a SmartJack CrawlSpace Stabilizer installation. Weak basement floors are usually caused by the columns in the CrawlSpace being too spaced apart or beginning to settle too deep in the soil. The SmartJack uses a steel support system to secure and stabilize the floor joists which raises the basement floors to its original position. 

Because of the SmartJack, not only does Kyle P. have leveled basement floors but restored property value of his home. 

Ron R. from Collinsville, IL was having problems with water coming into his basement after heavy rainfalls. Upon realizing the frustration and issues that a wet basement was causing, he decided to contact Woods Basement Systems for a free quote about fixing the issue.

Systems Design Specialist Luke K. went and evaluated the scene and determined that the appropriate solution would be to have foreman Bradley P. waterproof the basement. He installed WaterGuard, IceGuard and TripleSafe sump pump. All of these products work together in order to keep the basement dry. WaterGuard pushes water towards the top of the surface to keep it from reaching the ground and through TripSafe sump pump while IceGuard works to keep water flowing during winter months when freezing is a concern.

Since their basement is waterproofed, Ron is no longer concerned when he sees rain in the forecast.

Alex S. of Collinsville, Illinois was shocked when he discovered that his home's crawl space was holding water. He knew that standing water could cause rotting or mold growth, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Cody M. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to fully waterproof the crawl space. Foreman Joshua B. then headed to the home to install a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SmartPipe drainage system, a SmartSump sump pump, and a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.

The CleanSpace encapsulation system is a durable liner that is placed on the floor and up the walls of the crawl space. It acts as a vapor barrier and completely seals the crawl space from the earth. The SmartPipe drainage system accepts water from both the soil and the surface of the crawl space. It then drains it to the sump pump. The Smart Sump is a sump pump made specifically for crawl spaces. It collects water and then pushes it outside of the crawl space. Finally, the Sanidry Sedona is a lightweight dehumidifier that can fit perfectly in crawl spaces. It not only removes water vapor from the air, but also filters the air for dust, mold spores, and other allergens.

Alex S. no longer has to worry about his home's crawl space collecting water or all the negative effects that come with it. He now has a dry and waterproof crawl space.

Nicole T. of Collinsville, Illinois noticed that a couple walls in her basement were bowing and cracking. She did not want to ignore the problem and allow it to get get worse or cause safety concerns, so she called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist John S. assessed the situation and decided that the best solution was to install a few wall anchors. Foreman Jeremy R. then headed to the home to get the project started. The steel wall anchors extend from the inside wall of the home to the hard packed soil outside. The wall anchors stabilize and prevent further movement of the wall.

Nicole T. no longer has to worry about her home's walls bowing and cracking. She now has stable and safe basement walls.

Basement walls can shift and move over time, if you start noticing this it’s best to have the problem fixed as soon as possible. That’s why Carl and Rebecca D called Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Joshua L was able to come with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor. The wall anchor is attached to stable soil away from the house. It will also attach to the basement walls and pull them back in to place.

Not very many people look at their crawl spaces on a regular basis. That’s why it can take little while to notice the standing water. That’s why Chris A called Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Cody M was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman James L installed several products to drain water and keep the space dry. The first product was CleanSpace waterproofing, CleanSpace is a heavy plastic liner that goes on the walls and allows water to drain if it gets trapped behind the wall. A SmartPipe will allow water to drain out of the space when there is water in the space. Now the space is dry and Chris has no worries about mold.

Jerry F. of Collinsville, IL was experiencing issues with the concrete outside of his home. The concrete was appearing uneven with cracks. When he realized there was a issue, he called Woods Basement Systems about receiving a free estimate to fix the problem.

Upon System Design Specialist Peter N.'s evaluation of the situation, he determined that PolyLevel injections would be the best solution. Foreman Juan H. installed PolyLevel injection, which is a foam product that is designed to lift the concrete. Jerry F. learned that this can happen over time, due to several reasons. One of which is the concrete and the weight that the concrete is responsible for holding up.

Jerry is now very happy that his concrete is being lifted to its original state and that it is no longer unsafe.

Barry R. of Collinsville, Illinois noticed that his home's concrete front porch was starting to sink. He was worried that the uneven concrete could cause more problems, including a risk for injury. He decided to call Woods Basement Systems to find a solution.

Design specialist Jeremy R. assessed the situation and came up with a solution. Foreman William T. was more than willing to help. He used a lightweight foam called PolyLevel. PolyLevel was an easy and fast fix to the problem. Small holes around the size of a penny are drilled into the concrete and the PolyLevel is pumped in. Because it is foam, PolyLevel expands to fill in any cracks and lifts the concrete back to its original level. The job was done in no time, and the concrete porch was back to normal.

Barry R. is very happy that his porch is back to normal. He now has a level front porch and doesn't have to worry about any tripping hazards.

Bessie J. of Collinsville, IL contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate on her sinking concrete. 

Design specialist Matthew S. evaluated the area and determined the best solution to be polylevel. 

Foreman Juan H. and crew lifted and leveled the concrete using polylevel to create and even and stable surface. 

Lori H.’s Collinsville, IL home was uncomfortable. During hot summer months, it was difficult to keep her home cool. She had the same issue in the cold winter months and drafts made the situation even worse. She was paying higher energy bills due to the extra heating and cooling so she called Woods Basement Systems for a free energy audit. Design Specialist Peter N. inspected the home and recommended air sealing and insulating the attic.

Woods sealed areas of the attic where air typically escapes such as the rim joists, wiring penetrations, gaps in windows and doors and other holes or cracks. They use a two part spray foam that expands and hardens to prevent air from escaping and make the home more energy efficient.

Wood blew in cellulose insulation throughout the attic to blanket it in a thick insulating layer. Cellulose insulation is made of recycled newspaper that would have gone to a landfill. It’s treated with a natural boric acid solution that makes it resistant to fire and mold and deters insects. It has a high R-value which is the measure of a material’s resistance to the passage of heat. When blown cellulose insulation is installed in combination with air sealing, it can cut energy bills up to 40%.

Lori H.’s home is now much more comfortable and she’s thrilled that upgrading her attic’s insulation will end up paying for itself in the money she saves on her energy bills.

Dale B. of Collinsville, IL had a major water problem in his finished basement. Water was leaking in through the foundation walls and floors and damaging his finished walls while leaving his carpeted floors soaked. Dale was fed up with trying to dry out his basement with fans and hoping the problem wouldn’t get worse so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. Design Specialist Chris G. thorough inspected the inside and outside of Dale’s basement and found the perfect solution.

CleanSpace was installed over the foundation walls. CleanSpace is a thick and durable plastic vapor barrier that will prevent water from the foundation walls from damaging the finished walls and instead directs it to the drainage system. WaterGuard was installed along the walls and into the concrete foundation floors. It’s situated away from any mud that might clog it and collects water from the floors and walls then drains it to the sump pump.

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. The TripleSafe consists of three pumps, including a battery back up pump, sitting at different levels within the sump liner to ensure that no matter how high the waters rise or if there’s a power outage, water will still be pumped safely out and away from the basement through discharge lines going to the yard. On the discharge lines, IceGuards were installed. IceGuards have slotted openings that allow water to escape into the yard, rather than coming back in to the basement, in the event that the discharge lines become frozen or clogged.

A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed. The SaniDry dehumidifier removes up to 100 pints of water from basement air each day, keeping the relative humidity low so the finished basement walls will not be damaged further and also to prevent mold growth or musty smells.

Dale B. is thrilled he can get rid of the fans because he has the peace of mind that his finished basement will stay dry.

Gary H. of Collinsville, IL had water leaking into his basement. The water had no way to drain so it sat in puddles in the basement. Gary knew this was bad for his home, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

PolyLEVEL in Fenton, MO

This week, Orville and Susy had Woods Basement Systems come out to have their patio PolyLEVELed. They gave Woods a call to talk about their once flat patio and how now it had risen and also sunk in certain spots.  They needed to know what could be done to have it releveled to the original height of other concrete slabs around them. Woods sent out a specialist to inspect the problem and give them more information about what was happening and the best possible solutions for patio. Orville and Susy purchased PolyLEVEL, which is the best solution to any concrete slab raising today.

PolyLEVEL is a very straight forward and simple task when you know what you’re doing and have the right company to do it for you. To begin, a penny sized hole about 5/8^th of an inch is drilled in to the concrete slabs that need to be lifted.  Then polyurethane foam is shot down under the slabs filling in all the holes and dips allowing the entire slab to rise as one piece.  Polyurethane is an amazing material as it eco-friendly and very light, yet industrially strong.  Now that everything is level, the holes are patched up and it is all done. Orville and Susy came out to see their finished patio and are astonished with what is looks like. They can get back to enjoying their summer out on the patio with friends and family. If you know someone or are looking to have a PolyLEVEL inspection done, give us a call here at woods Basement Systems located in Collinsville, IL. 

Waterproofing in Farmington, MO

 This week, Christi W. had Woods Basement Systems come out and waterproof her basement which had the problem with water coming through the walls and under the floor and migrating to the low pockets of her foundation floor.  She called Woods and addressed her concerns for what she wanted to do and what questions we could answer. In order to address her issues, Woods sent out a specialist to inspect her basement and give his professional opinion. Christi went ahead and purchased the BrightWall covering system as well as the WaterGuard drainage system with an inspection port. The WaterGuard system would drain any water coming from the walls as well as under the foundation and send it straight to her sump pump.  This would then be directed outside of the home. The BrightWall would cover up the walls to both brighten the entire basement and keep the water behind it, leading it to the WaterGuard System.

The WaterGuard was place into a trench along the footing of the wall. This prevents any kind of clogging that could arise later on down the road. Once the WaterGuard is in place and ready to go, concrete is then placed on top to seal it up under the floor and make the trench flat.  BrightWall is rolled out and placed on the walls to hide any of the water stains that have been there as well as lead any water to the drainage system. The BrightWall will also brighten the entire basement.  With everything working properly and water being redirected to go to the sump pump instead of on the floor; Chrisi is very happy and looking forward to storing her stuff in her basement once more.  If you know anymore or are looking to have your basement inspected, give us a call for an inspection here at Woods Basement System located in Collinsville, IL.

Crawl Space Flooding

This week Irene had her crawlspace flooded with water and needed it the water gone as soon as possible.  She also wanted to stop the water flow at its source. The problem was that water was coming in from under the home and getting in through footers and flooding the entire basement.  In turn, this water made it damp and humid, which is the perfect environment for mold to colonize.  Woods Basement Systems came out to evaluate her concerns and see how they could correct the situation. Irene purchased the SmartPump System, the SmartPipe System, the SaniDry XP System as well as the CleanSpace wall coverings to insure that everything would be fixed the proper way once and for all. With all of these systems working together, there was no way water was going to be a concern for her anymore.  The SumpPump would get the water out and the SmartPipe would catch any water coming through the dirt floor.

Now production had to begin, first a hole was dug out and the SmartPump System was placed inside and turned up so that all the water in the basement was pumped out.  Originally the water collected all around the basement, not a trench was dug where the SmartPipe would lie in order to catch any water coming through the dirt floor.  All exteriors lines for the SmartPump were then connected and lead outside of the home. Now that the two main systems where placed and ready to go, the CleanSpace wall covering was placed over the top floor which made it brighter and waterproof. With the CleanSpace done, the last thing to do was to suck out the humid air with the SaniDry System and prevent mold growth.  Irene was very pleased on how her crawlspace turned out and how dry is has become from the original point.  If you or someone you know is looking to have their crawlspace inspected give us a call here at Woods Basement Systems located in Collinsville, IL.

Homeowners Chad and Megan of Highland, IL grew concerned when they noticed their basement walls were starting to bow. They tried patching up the cracks, but nothing seemed to work, and the wall failure worsened over time.

Hearing about Woods Basement Systems, Inc. in Collinsville, IL, they contacted the company for a free quote. Woods sent Norman, one of their sales reps, to inspect the damage, and he determined they needed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System installed to realign their walls as well as lock them into place.

Agreeing with Norman's solution, Chad and Megan made an appointment to have one of Woods's foremen, Jeff, install the system. Once all of the work had been completed, Chad and Megan were relieved and very satisfied with Woods's work. 

Collinsville resident, Gary H. always had wet basement issues.  During a rainstorm, he noticed water was coming in through his window wells & stairway, which usually did not happen.  Having heard positive things of Woods Basement Systems, he did not hesitate to call.  Representative, Chris Tite met with Gary for a free consultation. 

Chris noticed that the area around his window well & stairway was accumulating water.  He then informed Gary that a TrenchDrain surface drainage system, and a SunHouse window enclosure would redirect the water away from the window & stairway.  After a thorough assessment, Chris informed Gary that his wet basement issue was because his basement drainage system wasn’t working and his sump pump was outdated.  Gary liked how Chris was very informative and professional, so he scheduled an appointment for a crew to come.

On May 19, 2015, foreman William Harvie and associates started the job.  They replaced his sump pump with the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three separate pumps and it is designed to continue working throughout power outages.  They then installed an interior drainage channel called the WaterGuard system.  The WaterGuard channels any access water that comes through the walls and floors and channels it to the new & improved sump pump.

The job was completed by the next day, and the homeowner was extremely impressed with the crew’s hard work.  Today, Gary’s basement is completely dry due to the installation of the surface drain system, window enclosure, new sump pump, and drainage system.  Now he is able to use his basement space for whatever he pleases.  

Larry of Collinsville noticed his porch and driveway were sinking so he contacted Woods Basement Systems, Inc., and they sent their System Design Specialist, David, to inspect his home and diagnose the problem. After David determined that Larry needed PolyLEVEL, Woods sent thier PolyLEVEL crew, David and Jeff, a week later, injected PolyLEVEL underneath Larry's porch and driveway, and a few hours later, they were able to restore the concrete slabs back to their original heights. 

Ken owns an older home in downtown O'Fallon, IL and noticed two of his basement walls bowing and cracking. Concerned, he called Woods Basement Systems of Collinsville, IL, and the company sent their Sales Rep, Daniel, to inspect his property and determine diagnosis. After assessing Ken's basement, Dan concluded that Ken needed 13 units of Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to stabilize his basement walls. 

Once diagnosis was distinguished and products were sold, Woods Basement Systems appointed one of their foremen, Todd, to supervise the production of the project. Todd and his crew drilled several deep holes throughout Ken's yard and installed the Geo-Lock Anchor System within the ground as well as against the walls of the basement. After all anchors were locked and installed, Todd and his crew filled the holes they created and repaired Ken's yard with new patches of sod. The entire process took a day and a half to complete, and after Todd and his team finished everything and left, Ken was greatly satisfied with the results. 

David wanted a more powerful pump to make sure the water will never go into his basement.  He called Woods Basement Systems to see what he could do.  The System Design Specialist told him about the Zoeller M-53 1/3 pump and the Ultra Pump.  These pumps together would be enough to get the water out and the Ultra Pump would kick on if the power went out for the other one.  David also ended up getting IceGuard and a long discharge line to make sure the water flowed away from his house.  Now, David has a powerful pump that pumps the water far away.

A Collinsville, IL resident had been putting off solving the issue of bowing walls in his basement for years.  However, the damage had become even worse over time, and the problem needed to be fixed quickly.  The wall bowed a few inches, and the resident was worried that the wall would no longer be able to support the home.

Woods Basement Systems installed Geo-Lock wall Anchors in order to solve this homeowner’s problem.  The Foundation Supportworks Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System permanently stabilizes the basement walls and provides the best opportunity to straighten them over time. 

Air was escaping through the cracks of this Collinsville home.  The homeowner's bedroom and their child's room would become too hot in the summer.  They ended up spending various amounts of money on their heating and cooling.  Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis came out and gave this family a free Home Energy Check-up.  Now their attic is insulated with blown in cellulose, vinyl wall insulation, and air sealed all around.  The thermal boundary is now increased and leaving this family cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Steve was having issues with keeping his home at a desired temperature, which resulted in high energy bills.  His main concern was lowering the bills and then living more comfortably.  Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis came out for a full home Check-up and pointed out several areas of energy loss.  After installing CleanSpace in the crawl space and sealing up the attic, light fixtures, and bathroom fans, the home is much more energy efficient.

A Collinsville resident called Woods Basement Systems when she discovered there was water leaking into her unfinished basement.  She had been dealing with the problem for years and finally wanted to put an end to it.

Woods suggested that the resident install WaterGuard, TripleSafe, IceGuard, and BrightWall in order to solve the issue.  She decided to purchase all of the products in hopes that her basement problems would be a thing of the past.

In the follow-up phone conversation, the resident raved about the installation job.  She was very pleased with the result and said the Service Technician did a great job in making her basement look great and stay dry.

Stephanie was upset when she discovered several cracks running up her walls.  She called Woods Basement Systems so they could help her.  Chris Blickenstaff, the Commercial Production Foreman, came out and declared Stephanie's house a settling one.  This explained the cracks, the front door sticking, and water creeping in over the door.  Blickenstaff installed the Push Pier system in her home.  Now, Stephanie's foundation is standing strong and secure.

Stephanie rates Woods a 10 out of 10 for installation, cleanliness, and overall satisfaction of the job that was done in her home.  She encourages others to call Woods Basement Systems and get their problems fixed ASAP.
