SmartJacks were used to stabilize and level the sinking floor in this Mount Vernon, Illinois crawl space. Team Woods installed several SmartJacks throughout the crawl space to reinforce the troubled foundation. 

With no means of protection against water leaks, this East Alton, Illinois basement was in desperate need of waterproofing. Woods Basement Systems solved this basements needs by installing two top waterproofing system to shield the home against water damage. Team Woods installed a WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement with a TripleSafe sump pump system to pump the water leaks back outside.

Most people aren't likely to go into their crawlspace and are even less likely to think about it. But crawlspaces should be considered, after all they affect the health of your home. 

This dirt crawlspace in Sappington, MO. was allowing mold and dirt to accumulate on the floor joists above. Moisture - as well as insects and rodents - can rise from the dirt or through crawlspace vents and feed mold and damage the underside of the home. To stop this, the homeowners chose to have Woods Basement Systems incapsulate their crawlspace with CleanSpace™.

CleanSpace™ is a tear-proof liner like a pool liner. This liner, however, is specifically designed for dirt crawlspaces. The waterproof material will block out water vapor as well as any critters through the floor and can be mounted up the walls, blocking water leaks there too. It's anti-microbial surface will also repel mold, preventing new mold growth inside the incapsulated area. 

In this crawlspace, a SmartSump™ system is installed to pump out any water builiding up beneath the liner and a Sedona dehumidifier is installed to remove moisture and mold spores from the air. With CleanSpace™ working with the SmartSump™ and the Sedona, this crawlspace is protected from the damaging effects of water vapor and mold growth. 

Saint Charles, Missouri homeowner Tom had worked with Woods Basement Systems before for a sump pump. He gave us a call back when he wanted to extend his waterproofing needs and System Design Specialist Todd developed a plan for him. 

Foreman John and his crew installed the WaterGuard for Tom. The WaterGuard is specially designed to collect water that gets in through gaps in construction. This water comes in through the perimeter of the foundation. This means that water can sit on the drywall in these areas and cause it to mold and rot. 

By doing a half-wall restoration and using EverLast Walls we can make the air healthier by removing the mold and rot. EverLast Walls will not support future mold and rot and are designed to be easy to clean and be resistant to damage. 

Tom can now enjoy his basement knowing it is not only dry but it is also healthier. 

This home in Chesterfield, MO. had a finished basement with a bedroom. To keep this bedroom safe, a sump pump was installed to pump away any water that might leak into the basement as well as water that might build up in the window well. 

While the system that was installed in the basement was good, it was not as waterproofed as the homeowners would like. That is why they asked Todd G. to upgrade their sump pump to a TripleSafe™ sump pump system. The TripleSafe™ system features three pumps that can work together to keep up with even the heaviest of rains and keep the basement dry. One of the three pumps is also battery powered, making it capable of continuing to pump when the power goes out and the other two pumps can't pump. 

The TripleSafe™ also features an air-tight lid which prevents water from evaporating into the basement and making the room feel damp. With a plethora of other features, upgrading to the TripleSafe™ is a good move towards protecting any basement from flooding.

O' Fallon, Missouri homeowner Don noticed one of hte slabs in his garage had began to settle and was settling really fast. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Todd developed the plan for Don. 

Foreman Matt and his crew injected the PolyLevel under the slab. The PolyLevel is an eco-friendly expanding foam. It will expand to lift the slab. The PolyLevel will not wash out or cause future settling from added weight. It can also set in just a couple hours. 

Don and his wife can now use their garage again without worry of tripping or foundation damage.
