Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation in a Mason, IL basement was settling, causing cracks to appear. These cracks were also leaking water, causing mold to grow. To solve these issues, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed.  This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Next, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump system to be pumped out of the house. Lastly, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation walls, straightening them to their original position and keeping them there. This basement will remain, dry, clean, and stable for years to come thanks to these systems! 

A crawlspace in Mason, Il was not insulated properly, and moisture was seeping into it and creating a damp environment. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation was first installed. This features a radiant barrier infused with graphite, so the heat is reflected into the crawlspace, saving energy. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain warm and dry for years to come!

A crawlspace in Mason, IL, was humid and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold emerged. This lead to the homeowner deciding to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This highly durable liner will not only make the crawlspace look nicer, but it will also keep outside elements, like humidity, out of the crawlspace. Next, a Sedona™ dehumidifier was used to lower the humidity. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will remain nice and dry for years to come!

A corner of a basement in Eddyville, IL was leaking water, causing some damage. 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 TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

External pressure from unstable soil conditions can damage foundation walls, causing tilting, bowing and cracking. Steve and Diana V. of Stewardson, IL noticed their foundation walls were tilting, cracking and causing damage to the finished walls above them so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors.

Woods installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the cracked walls to counteract the external soil pressure. Then connected walls plates in the interior of the walls to earth anchors embedded in stable soil conditions in the yard with anchor rods. The walls are permanently stabilized and can even be straightened over time by tightening the anchors during dry periods.
