Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was coming down a basement wall in Irvington, IL, causing damage. To solve this issue, the BrightWall Paneling System was first installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System, which was also installed to catch this water and drain it toward the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will now stay dry all the time!

Water was leaking in a basement in Dongola, IL, causing mold to grow and create a musty smell throughout the basement. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard system was installed. This perimeter drainage system will catch the water that runs down the walls, and will lead it towards the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will catch this water and discharge it out of the house. This system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. 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 basement will remain dry and clean for years to come thanks to these systems!

A foundation was bowing inward in Dongola, IL, so the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable for years to come!

BEFORE: Water sat and collected under this crawl space in Centralia, Illinois—causing damage to the wood and insulation.

AFTER: Combined with a waterproofing system designed to drain away the water, Woods Basment Systems sealed the crawlspace with a vapor barrier that controls the moisture of the crawl space—keeping this home dry and comfortable all the time.

Stair-step cracking in the brickwork outside may be an indicator of a settling foundation problem.  We take careful measurement to determine the proper number of piers needed to stop a settling foundation.  Our Foundation SupportWorks® push piers come with a written, transferable warranty. These homeowners noticed a crack in their Centralia, Illinois home and decided to contact Woods to help repair and stabilize their home!
