Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Granite City, IL were experiencing foundation settlement on their home.  This settlement was appearing through cracks in their walls due to the shifting foundation.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the Helical Piers.  These piers are meant to reinforce the foundation of the structure by connecting to the footing of the home.  By drilling deep into the soil, it allows the piers to be secure.  After the installation, it can often result in closed cracks and improved operation of the doors and windows.  The homeowners were happy with their supported foundation for years to come!

Support blocks were failing in a crawlspace in Granite City, IL,  causing the floor beams to crack. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a 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, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

Water was entering a basement in Granite City, Ul, and the sump pump was falling to remove this water. to solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from the house. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!
