Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A sidewalk was sinking in Germantown, IL, causing the slabs to become uneven and cause a tripping hazard. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was 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 slabs back up. This will improve the safety of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Germantown, Illinois, had some waterproofing issues that needed to be addressed. While the owners did have a sump pump from a previous installation, they had water seepage coming in through the window that wasn't making it to the sump to be removed. Woods came out and installed new french drains to collect this water and guide it to the sump pump. The WaterGuard is a specially designed tube system that sits in the floor as to avoid clogging from dirt or debris. It collects the water and directs it to the nearby sump pump to be removed. With this install in place, this basement will stay dry for years to come!

This Glenarm, Illinois homeowner was interested in having her outdoor retaining wall repaired. Over the years, it had become riddled with large cracks and begun to bow. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several GeoLock wall anchors in order to support the retaining wall. These work by connecting heavy anchors buried in the firm soil to steel plates on the surface of the wall, effectively pulling it outward over time. 

Jan G. or Sorento, Illinois had a leak in her basement, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Nolan M. suggested installing a Twin Pack sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Mason S. installed the products. The Twin Pack pump includes two stainless steel pumps that work to protect your home against floods and leaks. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system used to collect water that has seeped through the basement walls. It then guides that water to the sump pump to fully remove it from the home. 

Now Jan G. has a dry basement. 

Water had entered a crawlspace in Sorento, Il, causing damage. 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 clean and dry for years to come!
