Is there ever a time when it's acceptable for your basement to get wet?  If your answer is, "No," then take a few notes from these Fairview Heights homeowners.

This newly-purchased home in Fairview Heights was experiencing an ungodly amount of water seepage through the block foundation, and the basement was always damp.  Drywall and wooden cabinetry had been ruined with mold, and the homeowners wanted to keep their basement dry all the time.

Woods Basement Systems installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to drain water from the basement walls, from under the floor, and at the wall/floor joint.  The crew also installed BrightWall, an inorganic wall covering to drain wall seepage into the drainage system.  Finally, the TripleSafe sump pump system with battery backup ensures that pump failure, large rains, and power outages are no match for this dry basement.

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

Cold and Wet Basement Repaired in Fairview Heights, IL

A basement was not insulated properly in Fairview Heights, IL, and water was leaking into it. To solve these issues, the ThermalDry Wall System was first installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the wall, drain wall leaks, and reflect heat back into the basement. 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 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain warm and dry for years to come!

TripleSafeā„¢ System Installed in Fairveiw Heights

This home in Fairview Heights, IL. upgraded their waterproofing system with a TripleSafe™ sump pump system. Unlike most sump pump systems, the TripleSafe™ sump pump features three different pumps to keep basements dry in even the most challenging conditions.

 

The first pump in the TripleSafe™ system will capably handle normal amounts of water while the second pump will turn on to help the first if water levels rise too high. The third pump runs off battery power and will turn on to keep the basement dry when the power goes out and the first two pumps can't run. 

 

The TripleSafe™ also features a unique floor drain that will allow any water that might leak from inside the basement - like in a plumbing leak - to enter the sump pit without allowing any water or air out of the system. This is important as it will prevent the water inside the pit from evaporating into the home and making the basement air damp and wet. The TripleSafe™ also contains several other features designed to make it the best sump pump system for its price. These other features include an automatic alarm, an air-tight lid, a specially perforated sump pit liner and two seperate discharge lines to name a few. 

 

With all the waterproofing features it offers, the TripleSafe™ system is an easy and effective upgrade from the traditional sump pumps of the past.

Waterguard System installed in Fairview Heights, IL

Water leaks resulting in mold growth? Yikes! This is exactly what Cynthia A. from Fairview Heights, IL was experiencing before she called in Woods Basement Systems to the rescue. Water had been leaking from the walls, causing mold growth, and through the basement flooring. Thomas W., a System Design Specialist at Woods, was called in to inspect the homeowner's basement. After his inspections, he gave Cynthia a free estimate of what could be implemented to control the water leaks and mold from spreading. 

Cynthia decided to have the Waterguard System, including the Triplesafe sump pump and IceGuard, installed to overcome her basement issues. In this case, about a quarter of the drywall had to be removed due to water and mold damage. The TripleSafe pump will ensure all water is pumped out of the basement, since it consists of two pumps as well as a battery back-up pump. The IceGuard allows for water to flow from the sump pump to the outside in the case of freezing or clogged discharge lines. The Waterguard System is a french drain system that controls the flow of the water.

Cynthia can now enjoy a basement free of water and mold damage!

PolyLEVEL Injection in Fairview Heights, IL

Clay and Samantha recently purchased an older home in Fairview Heights, IL, and they did not like the way the concrete slabs of the driveway looked. The cracks and unleveled slabs concerned them, and they were worried their child would trip and fall when playing outside. They also didn't like the way the water flowed against their home because of these unleveled and cracked slabs.

Needing something fast and efficient, Clay and Samantha contacted Woods Basement Systems, Inc. for their opinion. Woods sent one of their Service Tech Specialists, Austin, to survey the damage and determine a solution. Austin believed Clay and Samantha needed injections of PolyLEVEL to raise their subsiding slabs and level them together. 

Once a date was scheduled, a few weeks later, Woods Basement Systems, Inc. sent their PolyLEVEL crew, Dave and Reginald, to work on Clay and Samantha's driveway. After a few hours of drilling through the concrete and injecting the PolyLEVEL, Clay and Samantha were very satisfied with the results and feel more relieved that their driveway is safer for their child.
