Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This Litchfield, Illinois basement's sump pump was not up to the task. It was loud, dirty, ineffective, and the homeowner was eager to get rid of it. First, a Woods Basement Systems team removed the existing sump pit. After this, a brand new TripleSafe sump pump was installed. The TripleSafe comes equipped with three separate pumps, including a battery backup, and is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour. 

A concrete driveway in Litchfield, IL was settling, causing the slabs to crack and become uneven. To solve this issue, Woods injected the PolyLevel System into the concrete. This will stabilize, lift, and level the slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. NexusPro Joint Sealant was also added to seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. This will provide long-lasting flexibility and will stand up to harsh weather conditions. This concrete will remain level for years to come!

A basement wall was failing in Litchfield, as it was shifting and cracks were appearing. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to permanently stabilize a home’s foundation. 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. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Homeowners in Litchfield, IL had water leaking into their basement and reached out to Woods Basement Systems for help.  Our team installed the WaterGuard Drainage System into their basement.  The WaterGuard system adds protection around your home that prevents any future leaks that may occur.  It works by catching the water and channeling it to the pump and out of your home.  Once the drainage system was installed, the homeowners were happy with their dry basement for years to come!

In the before photo you can see a diagonal crack starting at the corner of the basement window. That is a clear sign of foundation settlement. If this problem were to go untreated, the wall could cave in leaving the home above unsupported. Knowing this was a serious problem these homeowners called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate to correct the issue. After inspecting the home, our system design specialist was able to create a custom solution to permanently correct the problem. In the after photo you can see one of the Geo-Lock wall anchors that were installed to secure this basement. A total of seven anchors through out the basement was needed to properly stop any further settlement. These Frohna homeowners now have peace-of-mind that the full value of their home has been restored!
