Concrete will crack and basement foundation wall cracks are common.  However, if the patched crack reopens or if a wall crack starts leaking, then you have other issues of concern.  Is the wall crack due to lateral pressure on the foundation wall (which can cause a bowing wall) or is it from settling stress? In an unfinished area of a basement, another option is BrightWall®.  BrightWall® gives the appearance of a finished look, controls a wall crack leak when tied into a basement waterproofing system, and allows for slight movement of the foundation wall.  If radon gas is present, a radon mitigation system would be necessary and sealing wall cracks are part of that process.

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

Moldy Crawl Space in Alhambra, IL

A resident of Alhambra, IL had lived in his house for 14 years before he noticed the mold in his crawl space.  The musty smell upstairs had gradually been getting worse, which is why he went to check out the crawl space.  He had no idea how long the mold had been there and where exactly the leaks were located.  He was in the process of selling his house and wanted to get the problem fixed as soon as possible.

Woods Basement Systems inspected his crawl space and knew just how to solve the issue.  Woods installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, SmartSump, and SmartPipe in the crawl space.  The SmarPipe collected water from the perimeter of the crawl space and drained it to the SmartSump, designed specifically for crawl spaces.  Together, the SmartPipe and SmartPipe solved the water and moisture problems in the resident’s crawl space.

The resident was happy to have a dry and clean crawl space, giving his house a higher market value.
