Before finishing a basement, it's important to make sure it is properly waterproofed and equipped with a battery backup sump pump that is strong enough to last when needed.  Why finish a basement, and invest hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have a basement that maybe looks better, but still smells moldy and has water seeping in? Our TripleSafe® sump pump has a 1500-gallon-an-hour battery backup pump with a battery that lasts for days!

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

Cracked Foundation Stabilized in Litchfield, IL

Linda S. of Litchfield, IL had a stone block foundation that was covered in cracks. There were long horizontal cracks that spanned the foundation walls along where they were bowing their worst. There were vertical cracks in certain parts of the foundation floors, walls and stair step cracks near the corners of the basement. Linda was worried about the structural safety of her home so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing foundation underpinning and foundation wall support systems.

Along two of the bowing, cracked walls, Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize walls in place and prevent future damage by counteracting external soil pressure. To do this, Woods connected steel wall plates on the inside of the walls to earth anchors embedded in the yard using galvanized steel anchor rods. The wall can also be straightened over time by tightening the anchor rods when soil conditions are dry.

On one wall, where landscaping on the outside of the home prevented excavation, Woods installed PowerBraces. PowerBraces are adjustable steel beams held firmly against the wall using heavy duty steel brackets attached to the floor joists and cement floors of the basement. It halts further progression of the wall and stabilizes it in place while also offering the opportunity to improve the wall’s condition by tightening it during dry periods.

Woods installed Push Piers on the inside of the home to address the underlying issue of foundation settlement that caused the vertical cracks. High-strength steel pier segments are hydraulically driven through the earth to load-bearing soil conditions or bedrock. They are attached to steel brackets on the concrete footing of the home so that the weight of the structure is transferred through the piers to the stable soil or bedrock. They can also lift and left the home to a more structurally sound position in most cases.

Linda has peace of mind that her foundation and home are safe and secure and her walls are permanently stabilized.
