Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Waterloo, IL, causing cracks to form on the interior walls of the house. To fix this, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. The cracks will also be closed, and no more will appear. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A retaining wall was leaking in Waterloo, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This wall will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A concrete sidewalk leading up to a house was sinking in Waterloo, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was first 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 of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A sidewalk was sinking in Waterloo, IL causing a step to form between it and the driveway, creating a tripping hazard. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. This is a unique approach to repairing sinking concrete.  After drilling small holes into the concrete, a polymer foam is injected into the concrete slab to stabilize the surface. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slabs back up. This will improve the safety of the driveway and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Waterloo, IL, causing the beams to sag. Moisture was also entering this space, allowing mold to grow. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans. 

Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. These systems will keep the crawlspace stable and dry for years to come!
