Kyle D. from Worden, Illinois was worried about the amount of water leaking into her basement. Also, that the water damaged to her valuables was enough to make her unhappy. In order to solve this problem, SHE called our team and got a free consulting appointment.

Our professional system design specialist Mason S. designed a solution to waterproof the basement. First, WaterGuard was installed, and, secondly, TripleSafe System were installed in order to keep the water out.

Based on the Woods Basement Systems definitions, WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects water and guides it to the TwinPack sump pump system. The Triple Safe system then pumps the water out of the basement and away from the home. This system is the most reliable sump pump system. Finally, IceGuard was installed in order to allow water to escape from sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or become blocked for any reasons.

By the means of these three related systems, now, Kyle D. is living in her home whose basement is cleaner and safer.

Woods installed GeoLock wall anchors to provide support for the home. These anchors are attached to the wall and is anchored to the yard outside. This is done by using poles to extend past the active zone in the yard. This will support the foundation of the home for the life of the structure so the homeowner’s never have to worry about a failing foundation.

Woods installed WaterGuard to help drain water out of the basement. WaterGuard is installed against the wall in the concrete of the floor. The water will flow into the WaterGuard, allowing the piping to lead the water out of the basement.

A TripleSafe sump pump was installed to evacuate unwanted water. The sump pump will pump the water out through a discharge line that leads the water to the yard. This line can become clogged or frozen at times, in order to prevent the water from receding back into the basement, Woods installed IceGuard. IceGuard is installed on the discharge line next to the house and allows water to escape through it when it is necessary.

The discharge line leads the water into the yard where it is drained. The line can become frozen or clogged in some situations.

Brian was concerned his basement wall might cave in without notice. The home he bought 2 years ago was actually moved in the 1940s, which meant his basement walls were part block and part poured concrete.  Block walls are hollow inside and can fill up with water, and his walls were leaking at the transition between the two foundation types.  The hydrostatic pressure being exerted on the walls had cracked one of the walls in the block section, and the wall was bowing.

Brian hired Woods Basement Systems to install 7 Geo-Lock wall anchors to stabilize the wall and protect against further bowing.  The crew installed earth anchors further beyond the fill soil that was immediately surrounding the home. Driving threaded steel rods through small holes in the basement wall, the crew attached large wall anchors plates to the steel rods and torqued the anchors to tighten the system. Now, Brian's wall is stable and he never has to worry about it caving in.
