Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Granite City, Illinois resident Tom N. was tired of looking at his old, ugly window well. The well didn't allow for light to enter his basement and critters made a home of it.

Foreman Tom B. and his crew installed the RockWell egress window well. RockWell provides a beautiful view, allows natural light to enter the basement and keeps the critters away.

These Pontoon Beach, IL homeowners had a WaterGuard waterproofing system installed in their basement due to water leaks. As a part of the waterproofing system, they chose to have a new sump pump installed, Woods Basement Systems' TripleSafe sump pump.

This system includes a primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery backup pump. This ensures the system will still continue to pump water out of the basement in the case of primary pump failure or power outage.

Pressure from soil on the foundation walls of a basement can cause the walls to bow, lean and crack.  Cheryl S. noticed cracks and areas where parts of her wall had crumbled away so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed along Cheryl’s cracking walls. Steel wall plates are connected to anchor rods that are driven through the wall and attach to earth anchors in the yard. They are tightened to permanently stabilize the walls and can straighten walls in most cases.

Cheryl S. is glad to know her walls are safe from any future damage and are stable.

Richard B. of Granite City, IL had tried patching the cracks in their foundation walls but new ones kept forming. He was worried that might mean there was a larger underlying issue so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors that were installed along the crack walls will permanently stabilize the walls in position by counteracting pressure on the outside of the walls that causes cracking and tilting. Over time, the walls can be straightened by tightening them during dry periods.

Ray and Pamela R., Granite City, Illinois homeowners, were troubled by their wet, musty crawl space. Water seepage caused mold. Mold is an allergen to most people and can be harmful to the home's structure. System design specialist John S. designed a solution.

Foreman Josh B. installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier. It prevents water from entering the crawl space and does not support mold growth. SaniDry, an energy-efficient dehumidifier, was also installed. Keeping the humidity low prevents mold growth.

Ray and Pamela are pleased to have a restored crawl space that they know will stay dry.
