A sump pump was failing to operate in a Saint Joseph, IL basement, causing concern. To solve this issue, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday 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. This basement will now stay 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

Job Stories From Saint Joseph, IL
Couple Concerned about Flooded Basement

Homeowners Daryl and Sharon M. of Saint Joseph, Illinois had a flooded basement. They decided to make a call to Woods Basement Systems to see if they had a solution to their problem. Our foreman Greg Harvie and his team installed several patented products including CleanSpace, WaterGuard, IceGuard and TripleSafe. The homeowners were happy that their basement will be dry for years to come!

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Saint Joseph, IL

Jeff and Jennifer, Saint Joseph, Illinois homeowners, decided it was time their vented crawl space needed to be taken care of. They gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Greg B. developed the ideal plan for their needs. 

Foreman Josh B. and his crew installed a full line up of crawl space encapsulation materials. Starting with clearing the crawl space, they then covered the vents with our gasketed Vent Covers. These Vent Covers go on the outisde of the home to add appeal while keeping critters and air out of the crawl space. 

The crew then installed CleanSpace with drainage matting on the floors of the crawl space. The Cleanspace is an anti-microbiol, inorganic vapor barrier that keeps the water from the soil from penetrating the air of the home. With the drainage matting underneath, the water vapor has an area to collect, it can then follow the grooves to the sump pump to be removed from the crawl space. 

The old crawl space sump pump was removed and replaced with a new SmartSump, completed with SmartPipe, IceGuard, and a Bubble Pot Lawnscape Outlet. 

Finishing the crawl space encapsulation is a SaniDry Sedona. This dehumidifier is the only Energy Star rated dehumidifier and can be placed and forgotten about with a automatic drainage line into the sump pump. It can remove 95 pints of water a day while removing allergens and mold spores and is only 60 pounds. 

Now Jeff and Jennifer have a clean dry crawl space. They now have added storage space now and no fears of critters, allergens, and mold getting into their home.

To protect against further damage, Joshua B installed clean space with drainage matting to help insulate the crawl space to help hold in moisture. Joshua also installed Smart Pipe systems to help support the settling from getting worse.

 

When the work was complete, Ed was pleased and no longer have to worry about future problems in his home. 

Waterproofing in St. Joseph, IL

Woods Basement Systems sent one of their Systems Design Specialists, Kevin E., to evaluated the situation and design an appropriate solution. It was decided that Greg H., a foreman, should waterproof the basement by installing WaterGuard, IceGuard and Triple Safe sump pump.

Settled and Uneven Concrete Resolved by PolyLevel in St. Joseph, IL

Crawlspace Redone in St. Joseph, IL

Rondey V. of St. Joseph, IL had standing water in his crawlspace. The water had no way to escape and threatened the home with mold and rotting wood. Woods Basement Systems had the perfect products to protect the home.

Woods installed CleanSpace to seal off the space and prevent water and moisture from getting in. A drainage matt was installed under the CleanSpace to drain away any unwanted water that may be standing in the crawlspace. Vent covers were also installed for additional sealing. These covers create an air tight seal and do not allow water or moisture into the crawlspace.                                                               

Woods also installed a SaniDry. The SaniDry system filters moisture out of the air and makes the crawlspace less humid. Controlling the humidity in the crawlspace is important to preventing mold. The less moisture, the harder it is for the mold to grow.

A TripleSafe sump pump was installed to evacuate unwanted water. The sump pump will pump the water out through a discharge line that leads the water to the yard. This line can become clogged or frozen at times, in order to prevent the water from receding back into the crawlspace, Woods installed IceGuard. IceGuard is installed on the discharge line next to the house and allows water to escape through it when it is necessary.
