Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Robin H. in Collinsville, IL reached out to Woods Basement Systems looking to protect her basement from excess water. This album highlights before and after the installation as well as what WaterGuard can do for your home.

The room addition on this High Ridge, Missouri home settled and needed our Foundation SupportWorks® push piers to get the foundation wall back to level.

Marley and Debbie O., High Ridge, Missouri residents, were concerned about their bowing and cracking basement walls. Due to high water pressure in the soil, the foundation walls began to bow inward and crack.

System design specilaist Walter C. designed a solution to support their home. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed by Todd W. Geo-Lock is a permanent solution to bowing walls. These wall anchors restore the foundation to its original position and provide support to the foundation.

High Ridge, Missouri property owner noticed a horizontal crack going around two walls in his basement. He gave Wooods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke K. developed a plan for him. 

Foreman Jeremy R. and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors aound the two walls. The anchors are steel rods that are drilled through the wall and anchored on both ends to pull the wall back to its original position. 

Tim can now trust the property to be safe and sturdy for decades of tenants to come. 

Most homeowners seldom enter or use their crawlspaces. Unfortunately, just because they ignore the crawlspace doesn't mean the crawlspace doesn't have an impact on the health of the home.

Water vapor that rises through the unprotected floor of the crawlspace can support mold growth and rot, which can damage the floors that run above the crawlspace. Additionally, because air flows upwards through a house, the smells from mold, mud and critters that get into the crawlspace rises through the rest of the home. 

To prevent these problems, Cory A. installed CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is a tough, waterproof liner like a pool liner that incapsulates the crawlspace to prevent water, water vapor and even critters from entering the crawlspace. The tear-proof inside of the liner means that things can be stored in the crawlspace without worrying about them ripping the liner and reducing its effectiveness. On the back of CleanSpace™ is an anti-microbial layer that will block mold growth to help keep the crawlspace protected.

Any water that builds up beneath the CleanSpace™ vapor barrier is directed to a TripleSafe™ sump pump so it can be pumped out of the home. Additionally, a Sedona dehumidifier is installed to dry the air and help filter out mold spores.

Because the crawlspace is now protected from mold, critters and water vapor, more insulation can be installed. In this basement, a foam insulation is sprayed against the gaps between the floor joists to help seal in the comfortable air and keep out the uncomfortable air.

This crawlspace is healthier and will help to improve the health of the home above it. Not only is the home more protected from water damage and mold growth, but it will also be more energy efficient but sealing the crawlspace and keeping unconditioned air out of the home.
