Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A concrete slab in front of a house in Carlyle, IL was sinking, causing it to separate from the step leading into the house. 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 slab back up. This will improve the safety of the concrete and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A sidewalk was settling in Carlyle, IL, causing the slabs to sink and become uneven. 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 slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A crawlspace was not insulated in Carlyle, IL, and moisture was entering it, creating a damp and cold environment. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation was first installed. This features a radiant barrier infused with graphite, so the heat is reflected into the crawlspace, saving energy. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will stay warm and dry for years to come!

Homeowners in Carlyle, IL had walls that were severely bowing in the basement of their home and reached out to Woods Basement Systems for help.  Our team installed the PowerBrace System, which are I-beams that are custom fitted to the basement wall.  This joist reinforcement method evenly distributes the load and effectively straightens the wall over time.  It is also a great non-invasive option since there is no drilling or digging on the property.  The homeowners were happy with the reinforced walls in their basement for years to come!

A basement in Carlyle, Illinois had some leaking water issues. To resolve this issue, Woods installed a French drain called the WaterGuard System. This system is a series of pipes that run directly below the floor and sit on top of the soil. This placement design ensures that dirt or other debris can't clog the system. The pipes then direct excess water to the nearby sump pump. Thanks to this install, this basement will remain dry for decades to come.
