Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

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!

A crawlspace in Sorento, IL, was unstable and in need of structural support. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, SmartJack™ was installed. This system will help support and distribute the weight of the home and can be tightened over time. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace is safe to use. 

A foundation wall was failing in Raymond, IL, causing the bricks to separate and crack. 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!
