Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Pontoon Beach, IL, causing cracks to form by the back doors and causing them to not close properly. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

Water was entering a basement in Granite City, IL, and the homeowners wanted a sump pump installed to remove this water. But first, the DryTrak System was installed. This water control system will lower the water table around the foundation, relieving hydrostatic pressure. It creates a permanent seal that will remove seepage from the floor-wall joint and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry all the time!

A home in Granite City had a window well that was full of debris and needed replaced. Woods came out and replaced the window well with a SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure. This will provide an attractive and bright solution that keeps out debris and allows more light into the basement. It also will never mold, and the lid placed on top prevents the intrusion of water and dirt. Thanks to this stylish addition, this window will remain beautiful and debris-free throughout the life of the home.

A foundation was becoming unstable in Granite City, IL, as it was cracking and crumbling. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. These I-beams work by stabilizing the walls in the basement by custom fitting to the wall. They are tightened to the wall through anchors on the basement floor and floor joists. This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property. This foundation will now remain stable and secure for years to come!

A basement foundation was cracking in Granite City, IL, and water was leaking down it. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed.
