Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement was leaking in East Alton, Il, causing damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common 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. These systems will ensure that the basement stays dry and clean for years to come!

A retaining wall was shifting in East Alton, IL, as it was tilting forward and cracking. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the wall.

This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize it for good!

A unsealed crawlspace in East Alton, Illinois, was seeping humidity and cold up through the floor and into the home. To address these issues, Woods first installed the CleanSpace System. This system consists of a highly durable and inorganic tarp that seals off the ground from the house above. It also helps brighten up the space as well as keeping rot and insects at bay. Woods also installed the SilverGlo system. SilverGlo is attached to the walls of the crawlspace. It provides insulation and reflects heat back into the crawlspace, which will save this homeowner money on heating and cooling. Thanks to these two installs, this crawlspace will remain sealed for many years to come.

A basement in East Alton, Illinois, had some interior cracks starting to form, as well as water seepage coming in through the walls. To fix these issues, Woods came out and installed a few products. The first system they installed was the CleanSpace System. This system consists of a highly durable sheet that is attached directly to the wall. It will catch the water seeping in through the walls and drain it down to the floor below. The WaterGuard system was the next installed to catch the water from the CleanSpace. This system collects water and directs it to the sump pump nearby. Plastic pipes are laid directly underneath the floor and sit on top of the soil to prevent clogging from dirt or other debris. The last install was to address the stability issues of the home. The PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. With these installs in place, this basement is sure to stay dry and stable for many years to come.
