Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was leaking in a basement in Salem, IL, causing damage to it. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to this system! 

A foundation was showing signs of failure in Salem, IL, as it was bowing in and cracking. To solve this issue, specialized GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed.  These longer wall anchors are a customized solution for extreme foundation failure, as they will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and secure for years to come!

Basement walls in a home in Salem, Illinois, were starting to crack and bow inwards. Without any correction, this problem would only continue to worsen. Woods came out and installed the Geolock Wall Anchor System. Heavy duty steel anchors are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attach to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. Thanks to the install, this basement will stay supported for years to come.

A basement in Salem, IL, was leaking and wet, needing to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the sump pump keeps working even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry all the time. 

Concrete in Salem, IL, was sinking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used to level the concrete. This system works by drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath. The foam then expands to lift and level the concrete slabs. Next, NexusPro™ was used to seal the seams in between the concrete ground and side of the house. This flexible sealant will withstand any harsh weather the homeowner may receive. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their concrete is in great shape!
