Water was entering a basement in Carlinville, IL, so the WaterGuard System was first installed. This system has a design that separates it from the soil under the floor so it will never clog. It will also drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. 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 remain clean and dry for years to come!

Fast and Effective Concrete Lifting and Leveling

The major flaw of concrete is that the ground that it was poured on top of will inevitably shift and sink over time. In the states of Illinois and Missouri sinking concrete is all too common which is why our company has gone to great lengths to develop fast and effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions. PolyLevel is a revolutionary product that is minimally invasive and not only lifts and levels concrete but also stabilizes it.

How PolyLevel works:

  1. The concrete lifting and leveling process begins with a few small holes drilled in the slab.
  2. Then the PolyLevel polymer is injected into the holes and expands to provide an accurate lift.
  3. After only about 15 minutes the polymer is dry and the concrete is ready to be walked and even driven on.

This concrete lifting and leveling technique is faster, less disruptive, and arguably more effective than mud jacking, which is the standard that PolyLevel replaces. We even offer SealantPro concrete sealing, which extends slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application. This concrete sealing system is resistant to moisture, oil, UV rays, abrasions, and more.

To remove tripping hazards, stabilize concrete, and lift it back to a level height nothing is faster or more effective than PolyLevel concrete leveling. After, our concrete sealing system will preserve your slabs for a lifetime. To schedule a FREE concrete lifting and leveling or concrete sealing estimate, contact us today!

We can Fix: 
  • Sunken sidewalks
  • Sagging steps
  • Uneven patios
  • Sinking driveways

Cracking Foundation and Water Problems Fixed with PowerBrace and CleanSpace in Highland, IL Basement

Brandi C is worried about the foundation wall in her basement. It seems to be leaking water because of cracks and causing mold to grow. Water is also coming in down the stairs, pooling onto the floor.

 A Woods Installation Crew installed the PowerBrace system to permanently stabilize the foundation wall. This will repair the cracks, stopping the water from leaking through them. It will also return the wall to its original position.

A CleanSpace Wall Liner was also installed. This will prevent water vapor from coming in, and make the wall look clean and fresh.

Lastly, a TrenchDrain was installed at the end of the stairs to catch and drain away water that comes down. Brandi can now relax knowing that her basement will stay dry and her foundation wall is stabilized!

The SmartSump system is designed specifically for crawl spaces.

Foreman, James L. installed the products. The SmartSump sump pump is specifically designed fro crawl spaces and can help to protect against flooding and leaks. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier used to fully seal off a crawl space from dirt, critters, and moisture. It is made of inorganic materials, so it is not susceptible to mold growth. IceGuard is installed on the outside of the home and it allows for water to expel from the guards in case pipes free up or get clogged. 

Now Beverly N. has a sealed and healthy crawl space. 

Push Piers Installed in Carlinville, IL

Carllinville, Illinois homeowner Marlene was experiencing cracks in her basement walls. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke K. developed the perfect solution for her. 

Foreman Jose L. and his crew installed Push Pier Systems for her. Push Piers are a great solution for settling foundation. We take the pressure of the structure from the moving soil to the steel Push Piers. They transfer the weight to the solid bedrock beneath. It prevents further settling and in many cases can return the home to its original structure. 

Marlene now has a stable foundation for decades to come.
