Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Debbie H. of Monticello, Illinois noticed cracks in her home's brick foundation due to settlement. She did not want to ignore the issue and let it to get any worse, so she called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Kevin E. assessed the problem and decided the best solution was to install push piers. Foreman Jose L. then headed to the home to start the job.

The push piers were installed next to the footing of the home and were then attached with steel brackets. The system helps stabilize and lift the home to its original level. The piers were then covered with soil after installation was complete.

Debbie H. no longer has to worry about her home's foundation cracking or settling. She now has a level and stable home.

This Monticello, Illinois homeowner noticed water coming into his basement whenever it rained, but he was unable to determine the source. Needing expert help, he called Woods Basement Systems. After determining that the water was coming through the floor/wall seam, a Woods team installed WaterGuard drains under the floor to catch the leaks before they can make it into the space and a TwinPack sump pump to pipe that water out of the home. These products will keep the basement totally dry for decades to come.

A sump pump was no longer in operation in Monticello, IL, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common 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, which 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. This system will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

A concrete sidewalk that wraps around a home in Monticello, IL was settling, causing the slabs to sink and become uneven. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. Pea-sized holes were drilled into the concrete and the foam was injected to fill the void underneath. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!
