Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement in Alton, IL, was leaking and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system won't get clogged, due to its horizontal design that sits on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry during the next heavy storm. 

This Alton, IL home was experiencing bowing in the concrete wall supporting its driveway. After a specialized consultation with Woods, our team determined that a wall anchor system would provide the best solution. The system works by installing a galvanized steel anchor deep underground, away from the wall, which connects to a steel rod running through the soil to the foundation wall. A plate is then secured to the interior of the wall, anchoring the rod in place. This method stabilizes the foundation, quickly addressing the wall failure while providing long-lasting, reliable results.

All but one basement wall was cracked and bowed in this Granite City, Illinois basement.  Woods Basment Systems straightened and repaired the walls with Foundation Supportworks foundation wall anchors.

This Granite City, Illinois basement was on the verge of collapse. Woods Basement Systems stabilized the foundation walls with galvanized anchoring rods, saving this home from disaster.
