Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was failing in a Percy, IL basement, as cracks were forming and water was leaking from them. To solve this issue, specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they 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 now remain stable and secure for years to come!

Homeowners in Percy, IL had an unlevel concrete pathway leading into their home which was a tripping hazard.  After contacting Woods Basement Systems, they 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.  The homeowners were happy with their leveled concrete and peace of mind!

Water getting into crawlspaces can lead to big messes and makes them completely unusable for storage. Betty and David B. of Chatham B. knew this all too well so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended encapsulating the crawlspace.

As part of the crawlspace encapsulation system, Woods installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier throughout the crawlspace. It's a durable, thick plastic liner that will keep moisture from getting into the crawlspace.

Betty and David B. have the peace of mind that they can use their crawlspace for storage and their belongings will stay dry.

Encapsulated crawlspaces are fantastic for keep water and moisture out of the crawlspace but unforeseen plugging leaks can fill up an encapsulated crawlspace and create major damage. Woods Basement Systems understands that problems with plumbing may arise, so when Woods encapsulated Betty and David B.'s Chatham, IL crawlspace, they installed a SmartDrain.

The SmartDrain installs perfectly with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, to create an air tight seal. It collects any water that gets into the encapsulated crawlspace from a plumbing issue and drains it down to a bed of gravel that leads to a dry well that will allow the water to seep into the soil below the crawlspace. It is equipped with a WaterWatch Alarm that will alert the homeowner when water is being collected in the drain so the homeowner knows there's an issue before it turns into a much bigger problem.

Moisture seeped into the crawl space of Amy B.’s Chatham, IL home with each rain. The flimsy, thin plastic liner she had was bunching and doing little to nothing to keep moisture out. The space was completely unusable for storage so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.

As part of that system, Woods installed CleanSpace over the foundation walls and floors of the crawl space. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that is secured over the walls and floors to seal out moisture. CleanSpace is mold resistant and maximizes available light throughout the crawlspace due to its bright white color.
