Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Frank V was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Jeremy K was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R installed a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor and CleanSpace Drainage Matting. The CleanSpace, the white plastic shown above, is a heavy liner that will cover the walls of the basement, and prevent excess moisture from getting in. The Wall Anchor, the bracket also shown above, has two ends one will attach to a stable level of soil away from the house, the other end will attach to the basement walls. The device can be tightened and over time will straighten the walls.

Carl of Mulkeytown, Illinois wanted to prevent further cracking and shifting of his foundation with the help of Team Woods. Team Woods investigated the space and recommended installing Geo-Lock wall anchors to resolve the problematic walls by preventing movement.

Geo-Lock wall anchors are used as a permanent solution to restore a settled, damaged wall. These anchors pull the wall back into its original position by installing the anchors in the soil outside of the home. 

Leaking basement walls can lead to damage and essentially render the space unusable. This was the case with a Mulkeytown, Illinois homeowner who was plagued with leaks any time that it rained, leading her to call Woods Basement Systems to waterproof her space. WaterGuard, a gutter-like drainage system that is placed underneath the floor at the base of the walls, was installed to catch any leaks. After this, a TwinPack sump pump was put in place. Equipped with two independently operating pumps, the TwinPack is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour! These measures will keep the basement totally try into the foreseeable future. 

The brick steps of this Carterville, Illinois home rested on a concrete slab.  The slab had sunk on one side, raising the steps on one side and creating uneven steps.

Woods Basement Systems injected PolyLEVEL below the slab to fill the void and lift the concrete back to a desired level.  The process was clean with minimal disruption, and the quick cure time allowed these homeowners to use their front steps instantly.

Carterville, Illinois residents Jarin and Ashley D. were troubled by their wet, musty crawl space. The crawl space was riddled with mold and the allergens were entering the air in their home. 

Foreman Josh B. installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to keep their basement dry and mold free. CleanSpace is inorganic, so it does not support mold growth. Jarin and Ashley can now breath easily in their home.
