Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Previously this home didn't have a sump pump, but with the help of Team Woods, this home now has an UltraSump sump pump. This sump pump will pump out pesky water leaks instead of allowing them to accumulate inside and create water damage. 

A foundation was failing in an Ava, IL basement, as stairstep-shaped cracks were forming. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors 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!

This homeowner had an old and open sump pump that wasn't performing very well, not to mention it didn't have a lid on it.  Therefore, debris and insects could have easily fallen in and then clogged up the pump.  This homeowner upgraded with a Triple Safe Sump Pump.  This means they gained triple the pumps to make sure the basement stays dry and a screwed tight lid to make sure nothing can get inside.

Peter R. of Springfield, IL had an old, rusted sump pump sitting in an open sump pit. The pump was no longer working properly and the flooding issues Peter thought he’d resolved were happening again so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Woods replaced the old, failing pump the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe has three pumps that sit inside a closed sump liner: a primary, secondary and battery back up pump so that no matter how severe the weather gets or if the power goes out, Peter’s basement will stay dry.

Laurie and Kurt R. of Springfield, IL had a leaky crawlspace that was completely unusable for storage. They’d tried putting a plastic liner in the crawlspace before but it was flimsy and did nothing to keep water out of the crawlspace so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawlspace encapsulation system.

Along the walls and floors of the crawlspace, Woods installed CleanSpace as part of the crawlspace encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic liner similar to a pool liner that is secured and sealed completely against the crawlspace walls and floors. It’s provides a moisture barrier that prevents encroaching water from entering the crawlspace, directing it instead down to the perimeter drainage system.
