Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Normal, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe 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 that reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. These systems will keep this basement dry all the time!

Grantsburg, IL residents Ronald and Theresa B. were concerned about their basement leaking at the floor and wall joint during heavy rains. Luckily, System Design Specialist Sam W. knew that the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System would help keep their basement dry! Foreman Devan B. and his crew installed this durable and effective system, and now Theresa and Ronald can rest assured that their basement is now waterproofed!

Support blocks were crumbling in a crawlspace in Simpson, IL, and this was causing the floors in the house to sink. To solve this issue, 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 will restore peace of mind for years to come!

Belle Rive, Illinois resident Richard's basement suffered water seepage from cracks in the brick foundation. This water seeapge caused mold to thrive, created a musty environement, and risked damaging his belongings. Richard tried at home solutions to collect the water but failed. 

As part of his waterproofing system, the TripleSafe sump pump system was installed. TripleSafe is equipped with a main pump, backup pump, and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry all the time. It is also sealed to prevent moisture from escaping into the basement.

Richard of Belle Rive, Illinois discovered several cracks in his brick foundation. A Woods Basement Systems System Design Specialist concluded that the cracks were a result of bowing walls. Increased water pressure in the soil caused the walls to bow in and crack.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors were installed to restore the walls to their original position and provide permanent support. To give the basement a finished look, Wall covers were installed over the anchors.
