Painting or coating an interior block foundation will only slow water from getting in to a basement.  Over time, the seepage gets in between the wall and the coating and eventually leaks in to the basement.  Our BrightWall® wall covering is a great solution for block foundation walls.  In this Charleston, Illinois home, we used installed this product in combination with our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system for a customized, effective solution.  It also gives the basement a clean, finished appearance.

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

Crawl Space Waterproofed in Charleston, MO

Martha L was concerned about the smell that was coming out of her air-conditioner. So, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Joshua H was able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Ryan L installed CleanSpace Drainage Matting in Martha’s crawl space. CleanSpace is a heavy plastic liner that will line the floor and walls of the crawl space. It prevents moisture from getting in and allows water to drain. 

Waterproofing Makeover in Charleston, IL

This basement in Charleston, IL was in desperate need of a waterproofing makeover.  The windows leaked, the sump pump failed, and the floor always seemed to be wet.  The resident wanted to use his unfinished basement for storage, but was unable to do so since it flooded every time it rained.

Woods Basement Systems gave the basement a complete waterproofing makeover by installing new windows, WaterGuard, ThermalDry, and a TripleSafe sump pump.  All of these products worked together to keep the basement permanently dry.

Wet Basement in Charleston, IL

A young couple in Charleston, IL had recently purchased their home when they began having foundation settlement issues.  Their paved driveway was cracked and cracks were appearing in the foundation walls.  During heavy rains, water would enter in through the cracks, causing the basement to flood.

Woods Basement Systems first attempted at closing the wall cracks by installing Push Piers around the outside perimeter of the home. They also installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump in order to permanently waterproof the basement. The residents were highly satisfied with the work done by Woods and now enjoy a dry basement.
