Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Decatur, IL wanted to cover up the walls in the basement, so the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the walls and drain any leaks into the perimeter drainage system. It will provide a clean, bright, semi-finished look to the walls and is durable and washable. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A foundation was settling in Decatur, IL, causing issues with the basement windows. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, raise it back up to its original position, and keep it in place. The cracks will also be closed, and the functions of the windows will be improved. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A crawlspace in Decatur, Illinois, had some humidity seepage issues and needed sealing to address it. Woods came out and installed the CleanSpace System. This system consists of a highly durable sheet of material that is placed on the ground and walls of the crawlspace. It effectively creates a barrier between the crawlspace and the earth, protecting it from insects, rot, and humidity. With this installation in place, the crawlspace will stay sealed and protected for decades to come.

This Decatur, Illinois crawl space was suffering from mold and water seepage. Woods Basement Systems replaced the existing clogged sump pumps with the SmartPipe drainage system and sealed the crawlspace with a vapor barrier called CleanSpace.

In the photo you can see a shadow at the top of the wood studs on the foundation wall: this is how far in the finished drywall needed to be because of the bowing in effect.  The reason we were called out to this Decatur, Illinois home was to stop the wall from moving in any further.  The wall continued to push in damaging the finished drywall and the homeowner wanted to fix the problem once and for all.  Otherwise, just resetting the finished wall in a couple of inches only would buy time until the force of the inward movement would damage the drywall a second time.  We installed our Geo-Lock® wall anchoring system to permanently solve the problem.
