Because of the quick-drying properties of PolyLevel, the driveway was set and ready to be driven on in just 30 minutes!

Wyn N. of Litchfield, Illinois was sick and tired of dealing with her his basement sump pump. It was dirty, loud, and it simply did not do its job correctly. Because it didn't work, rainwater would constantly pool on the basement floor, requiring constant cleanup. Wyn was finally ready to have the problem taken care of, so he gave Woods Basement Systems a call.

In order to effectively waterproof the space, foreman Malik and his team first had to remove the old sump pit. After this, they installed a brand new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe comes equipped with three separate pumps, including a battery backup, and is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour. Wyn is thrilled with the upgrade!

Harvel, Illinois homeowner Shannon M. was troubled by water pooling in her basement. The water leaked in where the floor meets the wall, a common occurrence. Tired of having a wet basement, she called Woods Basement Systems. Bill C., System Design Specialist, visited Shannon's home and designed a solution.

Foreman Bradley M. installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects and guides water away from the basement. With this patented solution, Shannon can have peace of mind knowing her basement will stay dry.

One of the most harmful things to enter a crawlspace is water vapor. This water vapor will condense on the cooler surfaces in the crawlspace, like the walls or the floor joists that make up the ceiling. Once inside, water vapor damages the surfaces and fuels rampant mold growth. This mold and water damage can wreak havoc on floors above the crawlspace as they weaken the joists. This could lead to sagging or bouncing floors which would result in costly repairs.

It is easier instead to block the water vapor from entering the crawlspace. One way water vapor enters the crawlspace is through the dirt floors. The owners of this crawlspace have taken measures against that by placing waterproof tarps down across the floor. While this isn't a product specifically designed to protect crawlspaces like CleanSpace™ it is definitely a step in the right direction and a good idea. But the homeowners didn't block water vapor from entering through the windows! Humid air will be drawn into the crawlspace and bring water with it. This humid air will feed mold growth and cause the crawlspace to fill with damp, uncomfortable air.

By blocking the windows in the crawlspace, the homeowners would be able to protect the crawlspace from water vapor present in humid air. Not only will this help stop mold growth and protect the longevity of the home, but it can also lower heating and cooling costs as the crawlspace can be insulated and the drier air can be conditioned properly. 

Marvin W. of Farmersville, Illinois was having problems with water in his basement. Around the basement, he had items stored becoming damaged by rainwater. The team at Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace in the space.

Litchfield, IL resident, Clay T., was concerned when he discovered cracks in his basement walls. Fortunately, our system design specialist, Jeremy H., knew how to help.

Our foreman Jeremy H. and his crew went to Clay’s home and installed the steel beam system and now he can rest assured that his home’s foundation is stable and safe. 

Team Woods installed TripleSafe and WaterGuard into this basement to protect the home from further water damage. These products work together to discard of any water that leaks in after heavy rains. This album will show the condition of the basement before installation, the installation process, and the final product. 

Two concerned homeowners from Donnellson, IL called Woods Basement Systems looking to replace their old, drafty basement window with a new egress window that was both watertight and code-compliant. They met with a System Design Specialist and received a free estimate on the optimal egress window for their needs.

Team Woods installed a new egress window with a Rockwell window well to weatherproof the new addition and brighten the home with natural light. Now these homeowners can take pride in knowing they made a smart, stylish, and long-lasting investment in their home thanks to Rockwell!
