Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Moisture was seeping into a crawlspace in Bunker Hill, IL, creating a musty smell that was spreading into the house. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will separate the crawlspace from the earth and will reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. Lastly, the white color will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. This crawlspace will now remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was coming down the walls in a basement in Bunker Hill, IL, and the sump pump was not pumping this water out correctly. To solve these issues, the BrightWall Paneling System was first installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension, sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A foundation was becoming unstable in Bunker Hill, IL, as cracks were appearing. 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. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

This moldy Freeburg, Illinois basement had water seeping in and damaging existing subfloors...but not anymore. Woods Basement Systems installed a Triple Safe Sump Pump System, provided a permanent solution for the wall cracks, and laid a ThermalDry subflooring designed especially for basements.

A stair-stepping crack through the brickwork is a possible sign of a foundation that is settling. These Freeburg, Illinois homeowners called us to take care of the crack and inspect their foundation.

Our push piers are placed beneath the foundation wall by removing some of the footing so the pier bracket fits close to the vertical foundation wall.  The hydraulic ram smoothly installs the pier tubing and the excavated holes are filled in when completed.
