Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Jo H. had a chimney added onto her Edwardsville, IL home that was leaking water into her basement and allowing mold to grow on her wall. She'd had enough of the mess so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

Woods installed a WaterGuard Drainage System as part of the waterproofing system. WaterGuard is installed into the floors of the basement along the wall and sits on top of the concrete footing so it won't get clogged by mud. It collects water seeping in from the foundation floors and walls before it can enter the basement and drains it away to the sump pump.

Jo H. now has the peace of mind that her basement will stay dry even in bad weather.

Guy R. of Edwardsville, IL had bowing, cracking foundation walls in his basement. He was worried they might collapse so he called Woods Basement System. Woods recommended installed PowerBraces.

PowerBraces were installed along the bowing, cracking walls. The steel beams are fitted against the walls and held firmly in placed by steel brackets attached to the floor joists and cement floors of the basement. They stabilize the walls in their position and are adjustable so they offer the opportunity to improve and straighten the walls over time.

Guy R. is carefree because he knows his foundation walls are stable.

Sydney O. of Edwardsville, IL had major water seepage in her basement. She used the basement to store her belongings and they were becoming water damaged each time it rained so she called Woods Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate. Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

The Twin Pack sump pump system was installed. It contains two pumps sitting at different levels within its airtight sump liner to ensure that if severe weather hits, encroaching water will be pumped out of the basement through the discharge lines and the basement will stay dry.

The floors of Jim H.’s Edwardsville, IL sunroom were sagging. He was worried that the floors might eventually collapse so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing SmartJacks.

Woods installed the SmartJacks along the sagging floor beams. Smart Jacks are adjustable steel columns that are held in place by concrete footings and support the floor beams above to permanently stabilize them in place. They can also lift floors to a more level position.

IceGuards were installed on the exterior of the home and connected to the discharge lines as part of the waterproofing system. As can be seen in the picture, the IceGuards had slotted openings which are designed to allow water to escape into the yard if the discharge lines become frozen during the winter months and prevent it from coming back into the basement.
