Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A sump pump was no longer working in a Jacksonville, IL basement, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now stay dry all the time!

A basement wall was cracking in Jacksonville, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the Geolock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good!

A crawlspace in Jacksonville, Illinois, needed to be sealed. It was leaking cold air and humidity up into the home above it. Woods came out and installed the CleanSpace System to seal off the area. This system consists of a highly durable sheet of material that is placed over the walls and floor of the crawlspace. It effectively keeps out insects, humidity, and water. With this install in place, the homeowners no longer have to worry about musty conditions in their crawlspace.

Josh R. was renovating a customer’s basement in Cahokia, IL when it flooded several inches. The basement had a sump pump but it was no longer functioning. Josh was worried that water would end up ruining any renovations he made so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods replaced the old, nonfunctional sump pump with the TripleSafe as part of the new waterproofing system. The TripleSafe contains two powerful sump pumps as well as a battery back up pump. Even in severe weather or power outages, the TripleSafe ensures the basement will stay dry.

Along the ledge where the concrete footing sat above the foundation floors, Woods installed FlowGuard. The FlowGuard catches water from the foundation walls and directs it down to the drainage system. WaterGuard was installed to collect water from the FlowGuard as well as the foundation floors and drains it away to the sump pump for removal. It’s situated out of the way of any mud that might clog it.
