Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement window was leaking in Freeburg, IL, and the water was pooling onto the floor. To solve this issue, a WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This will drain water from the window well and into the WaterGuard System, guiding it to the sump system to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come! 

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Freeburg, IL, creating a damp environment. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and will allow one to easily see inside. This crawlspace will now remain clean and dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was cracking in Freeburg, IL, and water was leaking out of it. To solve these issues, GeoLock Wall Anchors were first installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good.

Next, the BrightWall Paneling System was 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, which will then carry this water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and stable for years to come!

A sidewalk was sinking in Freeburg, IL, causing the slabs to 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 sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Crawlspace support blocks were failing in Freeburg, IL, and water was entering it. To solve these issues, the SmartJack System was first installed. These are steel support systems that can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a 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, and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans.

Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain stable and dry for years to come!
