Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This Vandalia, Illinois basement held many storage items along with extra bedrooms. It was essential to keep the basement dry and safe to protect the homeowner's items and space. WaterGuard drains were installed to stop water leaks in their tracks and guide them to the TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped out of the home. 

In Vandalia, Illinois homeowner Heather D. had her basement waterproofed by Woods Basement Systems. After getting her basement waterproofed, she still wanted to change the appearance of her basement walls that had been damaged from rainwater over the years. She knew that Woods would have good options for her that would work well in her home.

After getting an estimate, Heather decided to have our CleanSpace Liner installed on the walls of her basement. CleanSpace is a thick, durable liner (similar to a pool liner) that cover the walls of your basement or crawlspace. CleanSpace will brighten up the space while keeping the area dry and free of any moisture or water. After an easy installation, Heather was happy with the look of her basement in her home.

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Vandalia, IL, creating a damp environment and causing mold to grow. Support blocks were also sinking and shifting, causing the beams to sink and crack. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. Next, the SmartJack System was installed. This will stabilize the beams and floor joists in the crawlspace and lift the floor above it back toward its original elevation. Floor bounce caused by weakened joists or excessive spans will also be reduced. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!

This basement in Vandalia, IL was suffering from buckling foundation walls due to pressure from the outside soil. GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed to hold the foundation walls in place. These can be further tightened as well, so even during dry seasons this happy customer's walls won't budge.

A foundation was cracking in a basement in Vandalia, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any 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 and restore peace of mind for years to come!
