Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Beckemeyer, Illinois, needed some stabilization work done. The old supports were starting to fail, and substitute supports can be seen. These are not adequate and need to be replaced with steel piers. Woods came out and did just that. The SmartJack system consists of custom-cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. With this install in place, this crawlspace will remain stable for many years to come.

This Nashville, Illinois basement was water damaged and in desperate need of protection. To solve this issue, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains in the footing of the basement walls to prevent water from leaking in. These drains stop water leaks in their tracks and direct them towards the sump pump.

This homeowner needed a solution to prevent her basement walls from cracking. She reached out to Woods Basement Systems and had a specialist look over the walls to see what an optimal solution would be. 

The specialist recommended installing push piers into the footing of the basement walls to lift and stabilize the walls back into place. Woods' push piers are made out of durable, galvanized steel that is pushed into the footing of the basement, and they are designed to lock and lift the settled foundation. 

This Nashville, Illinois crawl space was plagued with moisture and all of the problems that come with it. The homeowners floors were sagging and mold was growing in the crawl space, causing air quality issues. She wanted the problem dealt with quickly and professionally, so she called Woods Basement Systems. A Woods team installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the entire crawl space, sealing out all dirt and moisture and keeping the space dry. 

Before, this messy crawl space contained fallen insulation, debris, and moisture. To clean up the area and protect it against outer elements, head foreman Brett J., led his team in installing a new CleanSpace encapsulation system.
