Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Wayne P. of Paris, Illinois noticed that water was collecting his home's basement every time there was a big storm. He did not want to have to keep worrying about a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Brenton K. assessed the problem and decided the best option was to install a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Ryan L. then traveled to the home to get the job started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The water is then drained to the sump pump.

Wayne P. no longer has to worry about water entering his home's basement. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.

A basement in Paris, IL was having some water issues, and it needed to be insulated. To solve these issues, Woods first installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the TripleSafe Sump System, which was also installed to pump the water away from the house. This advanced sump pump system will remain working even if there is no power to the house, thanks to the UltraSump battery backup pumping system. Next, the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier was installed to keep the air dry and clean. This will also reduce the risk of mold growth, and it is ten times more powerful than traditional dehumidifiers. Lastly, SilverGlo wall insulation was installed. This insulation system features a radiant barrier with graphite infused in it that reflects heat back into the basement to save energy.

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Paris, IL, and the support beams were failing. To solve these issues, the CleanSapce Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it.

Next, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and stable for years to come!

Andy S. of Oakwood, Illinois had an old rusty sump pit and need it to be replaced, so he decided to call woods Basement Systems to find a solution. Systems design specialist, Greg B. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Tyler S. installed the products. THe TripleSafe sump pump uses its primary pump, secondary pump, and battery-powered backup pump to guarantee that your home stays dry. The WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it collects water that seeps through the walls. It then takes that water and guides it to the sump pump to be removed from the home.

Now, Andy S. has a safe, dry home. 

A basement in Oakwood, Illinois had some water leaking through the wall and collecting along the perimeter. To fix this issue, Woods came out and first installed the CleanSpace System. This system seals the wall and directs water to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard was installed next. This is a series of piping that runs directly underneath the floor, effectively keeping out debris and dirt to avoid clogging. These pipes guide the collected water to the nearby sump pump to be removed from the home. Thanks to these two installs, this home will stay dry for decades to come.
