Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Homeowners Sarah and Samuel P. of Cambria, Illinois wanted a solution for their unstable deck support system. Before, the support beams were lopsided, holding the deck up with wooden beams. Now, the steel support beams lift and hold the weight of the deck without worry. Now, Sarah and Samuel can rest east knowing their deck is safe for their family and children.

This homeowner was looking to protect his basement from flooding and leaks, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Nolan M. gave the homeowner a free estimate and recommended the ideal solution for his specific situation.

Foreman Jose H. and his team installed WaterGuard French drain systems to remove excess water from the home. WaterGuard is installed under the basement's floor slab for powerful, clog-free drainage with a minimal appearance.

Homeowners in Sandoval, IL were experiencing wall failure 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 their new supported basement wall for years to come!

The foundation and ledge walls of Frank V.’s Mulkeytown, IL basement were bowing inward. Cracks had formed along the cement blocks where bowing was at its worst, which allowed water to get into the basement so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors counteract the external soil pressure that damages walls. To do this, galvanized steel anchor rods are driven through the foundation walls and connected to steel earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard. Steel wall plates are attached to the rods on the inside of the walls and the anchors are tightened to permanently stabilize the walls in place. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors can also straighten and improve walls over time by tightening them during dry seasons.

Frank V. had cracks in his foundation and ledge walls. Those cracks had let an alarming amount of water to leak in and flood his basement so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods found the best solution for Frank’s water problem would be a basement waterproofing system.

Wood installed CleanSpace over the cracked foundation and ledge walls as part of that waterproofing system. CleanSpace is a thick, durable vapor barrier. It’s prevents moisture from entering the basement through the walls, instead guiding it down to the drainage system below for removal. It also gives the basement a much brighter, cleaner appearance.
