Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

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!

Andy S. of Oakwood, Illinois had an old rusty sump pit and need it to be replaced, so he decided to call woods Basement Systems to find a solution. Systems design specialist, Greg B. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Tyler S. installed the products. THe TripleSafe sump pump uses its primary pump, secondary pump, and battery-powered backup pump to guarantee that your home stays dry. The WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it collects water that seeps through the walls. It then takes that water and guides it to the sump pump to be removed from the home.

Now, Andy S. has a safe, dry home. 

A basement in Oakwood, Illinois had some water leaking through the wall and collecting along the perimeter. To fix this issue, Woods came out and first installed the CleanSpace System. This system seals the wall and directs water to the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard was installed next. This is a series of piping that runs directly underneath the floor, effectively keeping out debris and dirt to avoid clogging. These pipes guide the collected water to the nearby sump pump to be removed from the home. Thanks to these two installs, this home will stay dry for decades to come.
