Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Nelda J. of Wood River, Illinois noticed that her home's basement was collecting water even though she had a working sump pump. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain shower, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Jacob K. assessed the situation and decided that installing a Waterguard drainage system would fix the problems. Foreman William H. traveled to the home to get the project started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the home. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement floor. The water is then drained to the sump pump.

Nelda J. no longer has to worry about water seeping through her basement floor. She now has a dry and waterproof home.

Water was coming down basement walls in Wood River, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the DryTrak System. 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 sump system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry all the time!

A concrete slab making up a patio was sinking in Wood River, IL, causing it to become uneven. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. This is a unique approach to repairing sinking concrete.  After drilling small holes into the concrete, a polymer foam is injected into the concrete slab to stabilize the surface. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slabs back up. This will improve the safety and enjoyment of the patio for years to come!
