Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Hamel, IL, so 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 remain dry and clean for years to come!

A sump pump was no longer in working order in Hamel, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the Triple Safe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners in Hamel, IL had a driveway that was cracking and settling, which was sinking in front of their door and was a tripping hazard.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the PolyLevel system.  This system is a unique approach to repairing sinking concrete.  After drilling small holes into the concrete, a polymer foam is injected into the concrete slab to stabilize the surface.  Our team also sealed the cracks on the slabs for a finished look.  Once completed, the driveway was leveled and restored to the original height it was against the house.  The homeowners were happy with this simple solution to level their concrete driveway and with the peace of mind!

Water was coming down a basement wall in Hamel, IL, as well as entering through the window. Also, a large crack was forming on the wall and causing more problems. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the WaterGuard System, which was installed next. This perimeter drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes.

Additionally, a WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This channel is placed on the inside of the basement below the window that will carry water from a leaking window to the WaterGuard System. Lastly, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. Thanks to these systems, this basement will now remain dry and stable all the time!
