Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water leaks can lead to damaging, costly repairs. WaterGuard drains prevent these leaks from accumulating inside by stopping the leaks at the source. This drainage system is installed in the footing of the walls to collect the leaks and direct them towards the basement sump pump. The final step to this installation process is to pour cement over the top to seal the drains from clogging. 

A concrete patio was sinking in Hillsboro, IL, causing the steps leading up to the house to shift and separate from the house. To solve these issues, 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 slab back up. This will improve the safety of the concrete and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A sump pump was failing to pump out the amount of water that was entering it in Hillsboro, IL, causing water to overflow and pool onto the floor. To solve this issue, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now remain dry and clean all the time!

A crawlspace in Hillsboro, IL, was dealing with high humidity that needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowners, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This highly durable liner will not only make the dirty crawlspace look nicer, it will also act as a barrier against humidity and other outside elements. Next, a Sedona™ dehumidifier was used to lower the humidity. This system will direct the moisture to the nearest sump pump. Finally, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will remain dry for years to come!

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.
