Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water marks coming down from the wood sill plate is an outside drainage issue and needs to be repaired from the outside.  Digging a trench and installing drain tile below the sill plate directs water to a low spot downhill from the sill plate.  Water can no longer rise up and come in over the sill plate into the basement.

Carla D. of Belleville, Illinois had water leaking into her basement, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, Chris T. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump, and a WaterGuard system.

Foreman, Tyler S. installed the products. The TripleSafe pump uses a three-in-one design to fully protect your home and it includes a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump. WAterGuard is installed in the floor around the perimeter of the basement. It works to collect water that seeps through the basement walls and then guides it to the sump pump to be removed from the home. 

Now Carla D. has a dry, watertight basement.

WaterGuard drains are installed in the perimeter of the basement to collect and direct water leaks towards the home's sump pump system. This drainage system ensures that if water finds its way inside, it will be directed back outside. 

This home in Belleville, IL. was vulnerable to damaging hazards such as water, mold and rodents thanks to its dirt crawlspace. The dirt floor of the crawlspace would no block water or mold spores from rising into the home and offered burrowing critters like mice a free entrance into the underside of the home. 

To protect the home from these hazards, homeowner Kathy L. hired Woods Basement Systems to install their CleanSpace™ system. CleanSpace™ is a waterproof, anti-microbial barrier that protects the crawlspace from outside hazards like mold. Once CleanSpace™ is installed, the crawlspace can be insullated to help make the entire home more energy efficient. 

Homeowner Kathy L. won't have to give her crawlspace a second thought now that it is cleaned and protected with CleanSpace™.

A basement in Belleville, Illinois needed support posts installed to help stabilize the floors above. Woods installed the patented SmartJack System to provide more support. These are custom-fit galvanized beams set in a solid base of engineered fill. Not only do they stabilize effectively, but the SmartJack System can continue to be lifted and adjusted over time. Thanks to this installation, the homeowners can have peace of mind that their home will remain stable for years to come.
