Maintaining TripleSafe™ Protection Maintaining TripleSafe™ Protection

This home in Olney, IL. had a TripleSafe™ sump pump system installed to prevent a flooded basment. The TripleSafe™ system is the perfect system for protecting a home because it is packed with features like backup pumps, floor drains, battery backups and specially engineered liners and lids to name a few. 

 

To make sure this system stays at the top of its game, Mike B. from Woods Basement Systems performed a routine maintenance inspection. During this inspection, Mike checked each of the three sump pumps as well as the other features of the system. He also checks and - if needed - replaces the battery for the battery powered backup pump. If any of the pumps don't work properly he can even replace them that same day to ensure the TripleSafe™ system is in the best condition it can be in with no down time to wait for repairs. 

 

The TripleSafe™ system is the top of the line for protecting basements from flooding and it will stay that way thanks to the pro-active efforts of Mike B. and the Woods Basement Systems team.

Fast and Effective Concrete Lifting and Leveling

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.

How PolyLevel works:

  1. The concrete lifting and leveling process begins with a few small holes drilled in the slab.
  2. Then the PolyLevel polymer is injected into the holes and expands to provide an accurate lift.
  3. After only about 15 minutes the polymer is dry and the concrete is ready to be walked and even driven on.

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!

We can Fix: 
  • Sunken sidewalks
  • Sagging steps
  • Uneven patios
  • Sinking driveways

Clogged Drainage System

Sump pump systems can get large amounts of water out of your home and into pipes that send it outside where it belongs. But what happens when those pipes get clogged with dirt and debris? Or frozen in the winter? All that water leaks out of the pipes and back toward the home.

 

Dolores M. of Olney, IL had this kind of problem when her drainage outlet got clogged with dirt and leaves. To prevent this issue from backing up into her basement, Dolores M. will want to ensure she has IceGuard™ installed on her drainage system.

 

IceGuard™ will make sure that water will continue to be pumped from your sump pump, even if the other end of the pipe is blocked or frozen.

Leaking Olney, IL Basement Waterproofed With TripleSafe And WaterGuard

Tony P. of Olney, Illinois had major leakage issues in his basement. During extended periods of rain, water would invariably run down his walls and seep through the floor. This constant onslaught of water made it difficult to make effective use of the space, and he was eager to solve the problem once and for all.

A Woods Basement Systems team, led by foreman Greg, began the waterproofing process by installing under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the walls to catch any leaks before they can make it into the space itself. After this, a TripleSafe sump pump, capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour, was put in place to remove all of the water caught by the WaterGuard drains. Tony can now enjoy his dry basement!

Crawl Space Waterproofing in Olney, IL

A local business in Olney, Illinois was having issues with water entering the crawl space. The business owner did not want to have to worry about rotting or mold growth in the crawl space, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Brenton K. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to install a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SmartSump sump pump, a SmartPipe drainage system, and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. Foreman James L. then headed to the home to get the job started.

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 drains any leaks behind it. The SmartPipe accepts water from both the soil and the surface 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 water from the crawl space through a discharge line. Finally, the SaniDry XP is a dehumidifier that not only removes water vapor, but also removes pollen, dust, mold spores, and other allergens.

The business owner no longer has to worry about water collecting in his business's crawl space. The crawl space is now dry and waterproof.

CleanSpace and SaniDry in Olney, Illinois

Olney, Illinois homeowner Tim H. was distraught by his wet, musty crawl space. The crawl space was riddled with mold.

System design specialist Brenton K. designed a solution. 

Foreman Brad P. installed the SmartPipe and SmartPump systems to waterproof the crawl space. The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system was installed as well. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier, so it keeps moisture and mold out of the crawl space. To further prevent mold, the SaniDry energy-efficient dehumidifier was installed.

Basement Rain Puddles Resolved in Olney, IL

Tina & Cecil’s basement started to accumulate puddles when it rained.  In fear that it would get worse, they called Woods Basement Systems after being referred by a friend.  System design specialist, Aaron Moore met with them on May 16, 2014 for a free consultation.

Aaron thoroughly assessed the area and discussed with Cecil & Tina their options.  The water was entering through the floor and wall, as well as through some foundation cracks.  They decided the innovative WaterGuard System be the best solution as well as the most affordable. 

A couple weeks later, foreman Jaylon Orban and his crew installed the system.  They are now equipped with a drainage system that acts as an interior French drain.  It is effectively capturing wall & floor seepage and directing it to their sump pump, rather than accumulating in puddles on their floor.
