Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A concrete driveway and porch in Collinsville, Illinois started cracking and moving due to shifting soils. To fix this problem, Woods came and installed the PolyLevel System. This system stabilizes and lifts concrete slabs with a strong Polyurethane material. After just a couple hours, this concrete will be level and remain hazard-free for many years to come!

A concrete driveway was settling in Collinsville, IL, causing the slabs to crack and become uneven. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was first installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. Pea-sized holes were drilled into the concrete and the foam was injected to fill the void underneath. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety of the concrete and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Collinsville, Illinois, was having some foundation issues. Cracks in the walls were present, as well as bowing from the floor above. To fix this, Woods came in and installed metal supports to stabilize the home. The PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. Thanks to these beams, this home will remain stable for decades to come.

A home in Collinsville, Illinois, had a sump pump that wasn't entirely keeping the water out of their garage. To address this issue, Woods came out and installed new french drains to help the sump pump out. The WaterGuard System collects water and directs it to the sump pump nearby. Plastic pipes are laid directly underneath the floor and sit on top of the soil to prevent clogging from dirt or other debris. With these drains in place, this garage should stay dry for years to come.
