Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Granite City, IL, and the support blocks were failing. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will isolate the crawlspace from the ground. It also controls water, humidity, outside air infiltration, and heat loss. The white finish will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside. Additionally, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and stable for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Granite City, IL, causing the interior walls to crack and crumble. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. The cracks will also be closed, and this foundation will remain stable for years to come!

Homeowners in Granite City, IL had windows that let almost no light into their basement.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures.  The SunHouse is a new way to protect a basement window that keeps rain out, reflects natural light into the basement, and prevents weeds from growing inside.  The homeowners were ecstatic with the new additions to their basement that will keep it dry for years to come!

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!
