Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation was settling in Du Quoin, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

A crawlspace in Du Quoin, Illinois, had some stability issues that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System to fix these. This system consists of custom cut steel rods that are set in galvanized fill. Pushing up against the floor beams, the rods offer increased support for the home. They can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments without another costly install. With this system in place, this crawlspace is now stable once again. 

A basement in Du Quoin, IL, was leaking during heavy rain. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump will discharge the collected water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can have peace of mind that their basement will remain dry for years to come! 

A home in Du Quoin, IL required repair for the exterior lower-level entrance staircase walls. Our team addressed their needs by installing a wall anchor support system along both the right side of the stairwell and the north wall. Each plate and beam, visible in the example after image below, secures a rod that extends through the soil to an anchor positioned away from the foundation. This system relieves pressure on the walls, stabilizing the foundation and providing a long-lasting, permanent solution.

Rodney C., Nokomis, Illinois homeowner, was troubled by the mold over taking his crawlspace. The mold was a health and safety concern for his home. System design specialist John S. designed a solution to keep the crawlspace dry and mold free.

Foreman Josh B. installed the CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that prevents water from entering the basement. Because it is inorganic, it does not support mold growth. In addition to CleanSpace, the SaniDry dehumidfier was installed.

Rodney is thrilled to know is home is now safe and healthy. He no longer has concerns of mold overtaking his craswlspace.
