Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

The room addition was built attached to a basement and had only one access cut through the basement wall.  It was built without vents but nothing else was done within the closed space.  We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier and sealed up the inside of the crawl space.  The air inside the space is now dry and the vapor barrier on the ground will stop the damp air from the ground from 'leaking' up into the home. There will be less humidity and the environment won't be a haven for spiders, critters, and mold as it was previously.

This homeowner has cracks developing in the corner of their basement wall. The corner relies on the adjacent walls to support it, and both walls had large diagonal cracks, showing that the corner had little to no support left. The solution on one of the walls was the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. These anchors would help support and stablize the wall, preventing further damage.

This homeowner has cracks developing in the corner of their basement wall. The corner relies on the adjacent walls to support it, and both walls had large diagonal cracks, showing that the corner had little to no support left. The solution on one of the walls was to use Power Braces. There was not sufficient room to install Wall Anchors on this wall, because a neighbor's yard was too close. These metal supports are placed against the wall and bolted down to prevent the wall from bowing, and giving it extra support for the home.

Effingham, Illinois homeowner Sue had cracks in her basement. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke B. determined the problems and developed the plan for Sue. 

Foreman Miguel and his crew installed the dual system, which included the Push Piers and the PowerBraces. The Push Piers go underground to lift the home. The PowerBraces go in the basement to provide extra support the beams need to keep floors and walls sturdy. 

Sue can now trust her home will be safe for decades to come. 

Water leaks had stained the walls and floor of this Effingham, Illinois for years! To prevent further damage, Team Woods installed a WaterGuard drainage system into the perimeter and footing of the foundation to collect water leaks. This drainage system will help the sump pump collect the leaks instead of allowing the water leaks to stand and pool in the basement.
