Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Steve was looking to close on a home in Red Bud, Illinois. Before he could close, he had to find out if the wall damage in the basement was structural or cosmetic. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Nolan M. determined the damage was structural bowing causing the cracks and developed a plan to solve the problem. 

Foreman Mason S. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to pull the wall back to its original position. Bowing walls are caused by the Earth and water around your home wanting to fill the hole that is your basement. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors use the Earth behind the active soil line to pull the wall back. A steel rod is driven through the wall into the soil. In the soil it is anchored to a steel anchor plate. On the interior a large steel anchor plate is used to distribute the pressure across a larger area. By tightening the rods slowly overtime, the cracks in the wall will close. 

With the Wall Anchors in place, Steve was able to close on the home and become a homeowner in Red Bud. 

Kim of Red Bud, Illinois wanted to waterproof her basement after years of accumulating water leaks on the floor. To solve this issue, WaterGuard drains were used to waterproof a space by collecting the leaking water and sending it to the sump pump to be discarded of. With the help of WaterGuard, now Kim can enjoy her basement knowing that the space will remain dry and clean for several years to come. 

This Red Bud, Illinois couple had only recently finished their basement when they began to have water issues. During periods of rain, water would leak out from behind the drywall and pool on the floor. This moisture had already ruined portions of the drywall and damaged furniture and valuables. To waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls. To do this, however; they had to rip out parts of the flooring and the drywall. These extra expenses could have been avoided if the couple had waterproofed BEFORE finishing!
