Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Cracks in the foundation walls of Donald K.’s Fairview Heights, IL home had him worried. The cracks spanned the wall and he was concerned that if he left the walls, the problem would only get worse so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked walls. The external pressure from unstable soil conditions causes damage like cracking to walls. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract that pressure by connecting wall plates on the inside of the walls to earth anchors embedded is stable soil conditions in the yard using steel anchor rods. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors will permanently stabilize the foundation walls and prevent future movement or damage.

Jeffrey A. of Fairview Heights, Illinois noticed that his home's basement was collecting water even though he had a working sump pump. He did not want to ignore the problem and have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain shower, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Steve K. assessed the situation and came up with the perfect solution. Foreman Jose L. then traveled to the home to install a Waterguard drainage system and a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. After the installation was complete, the Waterguard was covered with concrete. The Waterguard drainage system collects any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.
