Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Moro, IL, and the sump pump was failing to remove this water. To solve these issues, the WaterGuard System was first installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A foundation was shifting in Moro, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. Any cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners in Moro, IL had an unfinished crawl space which was susceptible to mold, humidity, and insects.  Our team installed CleanSpace and the SaniDry Sedona to solve this problem.  Our team installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System.  This system works to provide a barrier for any water vapor or leaks and adds a clean and bright addition to the crawl space.  The SaniDry is an air filtration system that controls the relative humidity and prevents any mold or mildew from forming.  The homeowners were happy with their sealed and dry crawl space for years to come!

Support posts were not supporting the entire crawlspace in Moro, IL, causing the floor above to shift. To solve this issue, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position, reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans, and solve the problem once and for all!

Most wet basements, like this one Collinsville, Illinois, occur from a leak at the foundation wall and basement floor seam.  If this section is covered by drywall, the drywall will need to be cut out to install our WaterGuard® waterproofing system.  A section of the basement floor needs to be removed and re-concreted after the WaterGuard® is installed.
