Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A sump pump was malfunctioning in Marshall, 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 basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

Water was leaking in a basement in Marshall, IL, causing concern. 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 sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

This homeowner's crawlspace in Marshall, IL, had been supported for decades by stone columns, but they were starting to give out. This could be detrimental to the ceiling as well as the floor above the crawlspace if not fixed, so the SmartJack system was installed to support the beams of the crawlspace much better than the previous stone columns, with less susceptibility for wear and tear. This will leave the homeowner happy and with a sturdy crawlspace for years to come!

A home in Marshall, Illinois, had a foundation that was starting to show signs of settlement. This happens when ground soils heat up and shrink, or when heavy rains erode away the ground soils. To address this issue, Woods came out and installed the Push Pier System to stabilize the foundation. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!

A concrete sidewalk was sinking in Hutsonville, IL, causing the slabs to crack 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!
