Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A sunken sidewalk poses a trip hazard and is a liability.  This sidewalk in Ballwin, MO settled and proved to be a nuisance on a daily basis.  Woods Basement Systems installed PolyLEVEL to lift the sunken concrete slab and level out the sidewalk.

This Ballwin, MO home had a damp, dirty crawlspace with loose insulation hanging down and was unusable for storage. With CleanSpace, the crawlspace is brighter, much cleaner-looking, and waterproof, perfect for storage of household items. 

Sylvia and Terry S. had floors that were sagging above their basement. There were also large cracks forming between their walls and ceilings in the rooms above the basements. The had a metal post connected to their beam but it was not doing much to stabilize their floors so they called Woods Basement Systems.  Woods recommended installing post piers.

Post piers were installed to lift and stabilize the floors above the basement and close up the cracks between the walls and ceiling. Post Piers are steel columns that provide addition support to the floor beam above. They are adjustable so they can continue to keep the load bearing floor beam secure.

Patrick and Kimberly S. of Ellisville, MO had a beautifully finished basement. Unfortunately the basement was not waterproofed before it was finished and during a particularly heavy downpour, leaks behind their finished walls flooded the basement. It took hours to clean up and fan dry so they called Woods Basement Systems to see what could be done about the water problem. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. Unlike exterior drainage systems that are notorious for clogging, WaterGuard is an interior system that is situated on top of the concrete footing of the home to keep it free from mud and debris. It uses its wall flanges and channel holes to catch water from the foundation walls and floors before it can enter the basement and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Elaine W. was experiencing cracks in her home's wall due to foundation settlement. She did not want the problem to get any worse, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Jeremy R. assessed the situation and came up with the perfect solution. Foreman Jose L. then traveled to the home to install several push piers. The steel push piers, pictured above, were placed adjacent to the footings of the home. The piers stabilize the home and lift it back to its original position. Finally, the piers are covered with soil.

Elaine W. no longer has to worry about cracks in the walls or any further settlement of her home. She now has a stable and level home.
