Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

In Wood River, Illinois homeowner Danny M. was having problems with his basement flooding after it would rain or storm. Exhausted from the clean-up and maintenance, he decided to make a call to Woods Basement Systems to see if they had any solutions for his problem.

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!

Next, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Then, a sump pump was installed to discharge the collected water out of the basement.
