Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

To stop water damage from developing in this wet basement, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains into the footing of the basement walls. These drains are installed in the footing so that they are able to collect and direct water leaks to the home's sump pump system. 

Crawlspace support blocks were failing in Shumway, IL, as they were crumbling and causing the floors above to sag. To solve these issues, 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. This crawlspace will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A sump pump was failing to operate in a Shumway, IL, basement, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will now remain dry and clean for years to come!

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Shumway, IL, creating a damp and musty environment. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will isolate the crawlspace from the ground. It also controls water, humidity, outside air infiltration, and heat loss. The white finish will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside. This crawlspace will now stay dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Zachary R., Xenia, Illinois homeowner, was concerned by horizontal cracks in his block foundation. A System Design Specialist inspected the foundation, and determined the wall was bowing. High hydrostatic pressure in the soil can cause foundation walls to bow in. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to restore the foundation wall. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are made of galvanized steel and driven into undisturbed soil. With this solution, Zachary no longer has to worry about his foundation collapsing.
