Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Mildred H.'s Wappapello, Missouri driveway was sinking due to soil-washout from the gutters and downspout. She contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate and proper solution.

Our design specialist determined that the PolyLevel concrete leveling system coupled with an extension on the downspout was the best solution. The downspout extension would direct water from the gutters farther away from the foundation wall and driveway to help prevent soil-washout.

In the before picture, you can see how close the end of the downspout was to the wall and driveway. The after pictures shows how far out the extension was installed as well as the buried lawnscape.

A support post was crumbling in a basement in Elsah, IL, causing issues with the foundation. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the basement and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. This basement will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Basement are places where high humidity may collect and then condensation issues may arise.  Water vapor condenses on duct work when the AC is running and/or cold water pipes.  In this case it was the water softener, full of cool water, causing condensation on the outside of the tank.  So much water vapor reverted back to water, running down the tank, and making the basement floor so wet the homeowner thought they had a seepage problem.   But it had not rained for a couple of weeks...?

SaniDry® took care of the problem.  Our dehumidifier runs off of the same 6.8 AMPs as a 40 pint dehumidifier but ours is rated at 100 pints.  It's LARGE blower can move the air better too but it is not noisy.  We have a SaniDry® that is a low profile model for crawl spaces too.

A successful sump pump job in Florissant, MO.  When your sump pump isn't doing its job anymore, consider the Triple Safe solution.  This product is sure to pump all water out even if one pump were to stop working.  You have the warranty of Woods Basements Systems that your basement will not flood with this solution.  The after image shows what the Triple Safe looks like working on the inside.  The Triple Safe is then installed with an air tight lid to protect the inside of your pump.

John O. had an old sump pump sitting in an open pit. The open put posed a hazard in the basement as well as allowed water to evaporate into the air and raise the humidity in the basement. The old plastic pump had burnt out and left the basement unprotected, letting leaks make a mess in John’s basement so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods inspected the basement and recommended replacing the sump pump as part of a new waterproofing system.

Woods replaced the burnt out old pump with the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe contains two powerful cast-iron pumps and a battery back up pump pump in its sump liner that features an airtight sealed lid. It offers multiple levels of protection against severe weather, even thunderstorms that cause power outages.
