About Woods Basement Systems, Inc. of Illinois and Missouri

Basement, Crawl Space, and Foundation Solutions Since 1986

What we pride ourselves most on, is our wide variety of systems to solve any problem. In addition to the thousands of private homes we have waterproofed, anchored or piered, we have completed many commercial projects including: schools, churches, condos, restaurants, apartment complexes, water treatment plants, universities, hospitals and professional buildings.

We use Supportworks wall anchors for basement wall straightening and Supportworks piers for lifting and stabilizing settling foundations. With Woods Basement Systems, Inc., you get just what you need to fix your problem -- that means the best value available. Furthermore, we do not use high-pressure sales techniques, nor will we sell you something that you do not need. Of course, all of our work comes with a written warranty.

History of Woods Basement Systems

In 1986, Rick and Anna Lee Woods, with a partner, started a waterproofing company called Basement DeWatering Systems Metro-East, Inc. In 1988, Rick bought out his partner and the name was changed to Woods Waterproofing, Inc. The company name was then changed to Woods Basement Systems, Inc. in 1991 for advertising reasons.

Our Federal Tax ID number has never changed, so we have always maintained our corporate identity and all contractual warranties. There are approximately 400 Basement Systems dealers in three countries. Rick's wife Anna Lee, son Wayne, daughter Susan, son-in-law Tim and cousin Chris Blickenstaff are all management-level employees of Woods Basement Systems, with his grandkids: Alli, Drew, Nick, Jack, twins Sophie & Lily, Rachel, Mary, and Sarah being the "real" bosses.

As you can see, this is a family business. Today, we are one of the largest basement waterproofing, basement wall straightening and foundation piering contractors in Illinois and Missouri. In 2005 we became the world's largest Basement Systems dealer - topping those 300+ dealers in seven countries!
