Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Saint Louis, MO, causing damage to the walls and floor. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

A concrete floor was settling in a Saint Louis, MO basement causing the slab to crack and become uneven. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. Pea-sized holes were drilled into the concrete and the foam was injected to fill the void underneath. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety and enjoyment of the basement and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A sidewalk was unleveled in Saint Louis, MO, causing safety concerns for the homeowner that needed to be addressed. They decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. By drilling small holes into the concrete and injecting polyurethane foam underneath, the foam expands and lifts the concrete slabs up and levels them out. Within hours, the foam will harden to become rock solid. Next, NexusPro™ was used to fill in the gaps in between concrete slabs. This flexible sealant will stand up against harsh weather conditions. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their sidewalk is in great shape! 

A basement in Saint Louis, MO, was leaking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is in great shape! 

The real culprit behind any foundation or slab settlement problem is the underlying soil.  For example, a void had developed beneathe this concrete sidewalk and porch slab in St. Louis, Missouri.  This was likely due to a downspout that used to dump water right beside the porch.  Over time, the water pooling beside the porch slab and sidewalk eroded the soil and created a void beneath them.

Woods Basement Systems injected PolyLEVEL under the sidewalk slab and porch to fill the void and raise the concrete sidewalk.  The crew was able to level the sidewalk, and they took care to seal the joints in the sidewalk as well.  The homeowners were able to walk on the newly-raised sidewalk instantly.
