Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Dexter, MO, causing large cracks to form and grow. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

A basement in Dexter, MO, was leaking and in need of a strong waterproofing system to keep it dry all the time, even during heavy rain. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the collected water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is dry and in great shape! 

A basement in Panther Creek, Illinois, had an old TripleSafe Sump Pump that was longer working effectively. The homeowners also had an outdated SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that needed to be updated as well. Woods came out and did just that. They installed a new SaniDry Sedona for optimal humidity levels. They also replaced the TripleSafe Sump Pump with an upgraded one and included the UltraSump Battery sump pump. This sump pump is a top-of-the line system with not one, but three pumps to ensure water is continuously removed. If one of the two main pumps were to somehow fail, the UltraSump will turn on. This will prevent water seepage even if there is a power outage. With these replacements in place, this home is sure to be dry and humidity free once again. 

Dustin of Bloomfield, Missouri wanted to transform his wet, musty basement after years of water leaks had stained the floor and walls. He reached out to Woods Basement Systems to get a professional's opinion on the optimal way to renovate his basement. Dustin worked alongside Sam W. who is one of Woods' top system design specialist. Sam recommended installing BrightWall panels, WaterGuard drains, and a TripleSafe sump pump to keep the basement healthy and dry.

A retaining wall was shifting and bowing forward due to the settling soil behind it, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the wall. Once installed, these will hold the wall in its current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the wall for good!
