Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This elevated Grafton, Illinois porch was badly sagging. The porch was about 12 feet off of the ground and, over the years, the posts had begun to fail under the strain of regular use. A Woods Basement Systems team reinforced the porch by installing several SmartJacks underneath it. These adjustable supports are capable of holding 60,000 pounds each, and totally prevent any sagging or movement. 

A porch to a raised home in Grafton, IL was sagging and the current support posts were failing, so Woods installed the SmartJack System. This will stabilize the beams under the porch, as well as the floor joists. these will lift the porch floors back to their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This porch will remain stable for years to come!

Wet basements are a problem in old and new homes alike. For new homes like this one in Festus, Missouri, Woods Basement Systems works proactively with homeowners and building contractors to install and provide waterproofing products to keep your basement and valuables dry all the time.

Festus, Missouri homeowner Harry K. was distraught when water made its way into his basement.  Previously, Harry had the Geo-Lock wall anchors installed to straighten his bowing walls. Though this can aide in keeping water out, waterproofing is the only way to ensure water stays out. 

CleanSpace guides water leaking in from the walls to the WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. Because CleanSpace prevents water vapor from escaping into the basement, it keeps the basement humidity low and hinders mold growth.

In addtion to WaterGuard and CleanSpace, the TwinPack sump pump system was installed to ensure Harry's wet basement stays dry.
