Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Staunton, IL were experiencing severe foundation settlement in their home which was appearing through the stair stepped cracks in the brick outside of their home.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the Helical Piers.  These piers are meant to reinforce the foundation of the structure by connecting to the footing of the home.  By drilling deep into the soil, it allows the piers to be secure.  After the installation, it can often result in closed cracks and improved operation of the doors and windows.  After the installation, the homeowners were happy with their supported foundation on their home for years to come!

The basement floor held the bottom row of the block foundation in place but the upper part sheared, bowing inward.  The house in Glen Carbon, Illinois required a wall anchoring system to stop the inward movement.

This Glen Carbon, Illinois doorway was hard to open and close. The brick had cracked because the house had dropped over an inch. Woods installed push piers to lift and stabilize the home.

Covering the sump pump pit with a solid cover is a good idea.  Having the sump pump closed prevents water vapor from escaping and raising the humidity level in the basement.  Our SuperSump® sump pump, like the one installed in this Glen Carbon, Illinois home, closes the top with a very sturdy lid, gaskets around the power cord and discharge pipe and has a built-in properly functioning drain.

This Glen Carbon, IL basement was in desperate need of a proper waterproofing system.  Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard, an UltraSump, and WellDuct for the leaky window wells.  Now the resident can enjoy a dry basement all the time.
