Kurt and Laurie R.’s Springfield, IL home had a large crack along the foundation floor as well as vertical cracks in their drywall and crawlspace foundation wall. They found out that they had mine subsidence occurring under their home which was causing their foundation to settle. They were also having issues with water getting into the crawlspace and partially finished basement. Their crawlspace was completely unusable due to the water intrusion and it took hours to clean up and fan dry their basement so their called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Nolan M. assessed their foundation and inspected their crawlspace and basement and recommended installing a crawlspace encapsulation and basement waterproofing system as well as Push Piers.

Woods installed Push Piers along the footing of the home. High-strength steel pier sections are hydraulically driven into stable earth or bedrock below and then attached to steel brackets on the footing of the home. This transfers the weight of the home to through the piers to competent, load-bearing earth and permanently stabilizes the foundation.

Along the crawlspace walls and floors, CleanSpace was installed. CleanSpace is a thick, durable moisture barrier that prevents water from entering the crawlspace and instead directs it to the drainage system.

Under the CleanSpace, drainage matting was installed on the dirt floors of the crawlspace. Drainage matting has a dimpled design that provides channels for standing water in the crawlspace to disperse to the drainage system for removal.

SmartPipe was installed along the perimeter of the crawlspace, against the walls. It has multiple rows of holes that are covered in a filter fabric that prevents mud or debris from clogging it as it collects water from the dirt floors and foundation walls of the basement and takes it to the sump pump for removal.

The SmartSump was installed to collect water from the SmartPipe and pump it out and away from the crawlspace through its discharge lines. The SmartSump contains a powerful cast iron pump and the sump lid was designed to form an airtight seal with the CleanSpace moisture barrier.

In the basement, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. The TripleSafe contains a primary, secondary and battery back up pump to ensure the basement stays dry even in severe weather conditions and power outages.

IceGuards were installed on the discharge lines of the pumps on the exterior of the home. IceGuards have slotted openings to prevent water from getting back into the basement and crawlspace if the discharge lines become frozen during cold winter months.

Laurie and Kurt R. are relieved that their foundation and home are secure and thrilled they can use their crawlspace and basement without worrying about rain in the forecast.

Jessica D. of Springfield, Illinois was distraught by her wet, moldy basement. Water leaked into her basement where the floor meets the wall. The water seepage caused mold to grow on the drywall. System design specialist Greg B. designed a solution to keep her basement dry and comfortable.

Stair step and vertical cracks in foundation walls like the ones Wade K. noticed in his Springfield, IL home are signs of foundation settlement. Soil conditions on the exterior of the foundation is the major cause of settlement. Soil can shrink and create voids when dry, move when wet or compress if it wasn’t compacted properly when the home was built, all of which cause the foundation to settle. If the foundation doesn’t settle uniformly, it can lead to the separations and cracks, which is why Wade called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing Push Piers.

Woods installed the Push Piers are installed inside the basement of the home. Push Piers are made of high-strength steel sections that are hydraulically driven through steel brackets down into competent, load-bearing soil or bedrock. They transfer the weight of the home from the unstable soil conditions responsible for the settlement to the competent soil or bedrock. In many cases, Push Piers can also lift the home back to level position. After the Push Piers are in place and the home has been lifted, the Push Piers are attached to the concrete footing and locked into place to permanently stabilize the foundation. When Push Piers are installed inside the home, they are cemented over to flush position with the rest of the basement floor.

Wade K. now has peace of mind that his foundation and home are safe and permanently stable.

Amy B. of Chatham, IL had a damp crawl space. The flimsy plastic liner she had in there bunched and did nothing to keep moisture out. High humidity in the crawl space had started to rot the wooden floor joists and the space was completely unusable for storage so she called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Kevin E. inspected the crawl space and recommended an encapsulation system.

Woods secured CleanSpace over the foundation walls and dirt floors of the crawl space. CleanSpace is a durable, thick plastic moisture barrier. It prevents moisture from entering into the crawl space through the walls or floors. It’s mold resistant and its bright white color maximizes the amount of available light within the crawl space.

Under the CleanSpace, Woods installed Drainage Matting along the dirt floor of the crawl space. Drainage Matting has a dimpled design that gives channels for any water that might seep into the crawl space to disperse.

The SmartDrain was also installed in the crawl space. It’s lid forms an airtight, seamless seal with the CleanSpace. The SmartDrain is designed for encapsulated crawl spaces to prevent the space from filling with water if there is a plumbing leak and collect water from groundwater problems beneath the liner. Water is directed towards the special ball-and-cup drain to be drained to a bed of gravel below where it will flow into a dry well and seep into the soil below. The WaterWatch alarm in the lid of the SmartDrain alerts the owner to a plumbing leak so it can be taken care of before it turns into a major problem.

The SaniDry dehumidifier was installed in the crawl space to keep the relative humidity low. It’s energy efficient but powerful, removing up to 109 pints of water per day from crawl space air. It prevents musty smells and the conditions that cause mold growth and rot.

Amy B. has peace of mind that she can safely use her crawl space for storage without worry about damage from moisture or humidity.

The cracks in the foundation of Marlys M.’s Saint Louis, MO home, along with the joints where the foundation walls met the floors, let an alarming amount of water to leak into her basement. Each time there was a heavy downpour, she knew she was going to have to clean up another mess in her basement. She finally had enough so she called Woods Basement Systems. After thorough inspection of her basement, Design Specialist Paul W. found the best solution would be an interior waterproofing system.

Woods installed BrightWall panels over the leaky, cracked foundation walls. BrightWall Panels are made of white, rigid plastic that is waterproof and mold resistant. They form a moisture barrier over the the walls to prevent water from entering the basement, instead directing it down to the drainage system below.

The WaterGuard drainage system was installed under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is situated on top of the concrete footing of the basement so it won’t become clogged with mud or other debris as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump.

Woods installed the Twin Pack to receive the intruding water and expel it safely away from the basement through its discharge lines. It contains two powerful cast-iron pumps to protect the basement from regular volumes of water as well as the large volumes severe weather brings.

IceGuards were installed on the discharge lines on the exterior of the home to prevent water from backing up into the home if the lines become frozen during winter months. The IceGuards have slotted openings that allow the trapped water to escape into the yard.

Marls M. is thrilled she no longer has to deal with the messes that rain in the forecast used to mean because her basement will remain dry.

Don M. of Rochester, IL had a damp crawl space that was unusable for storage without fear of water damage. His crawl space also wasn’t insulated which had allowed cold drafts to get into the home and made it harder to keep the home comfortable due the heating and cooling ductwork running through the space and being exposed to warm temperatures during the summer and cold temperatures during the winter so he called Woods Basement Systems. Design Specialist Brandon B. inspected the crawl space and recommended an encapsulation system as well as crawl space insulation.

Woods installed SilverGlo over the foundation walls and rim joists in the crawl space. SilverGlo is a rigid foam insulation that is infused with graphite powder to improve the insulating value. They have a reflective coating that creates a radiant barrier to reflect heat back into the space. SilverGlo forms an air barrier over the foundation walls to make the home more energy efficient. It’s waterproof and won’t become damaged by mold so it is effective at preventing moisture from entering the crawl space through the foundation walls.

CleanSpace was installed over the dirt floors of the crawl space and sealed against the SilverGlo. CleanSpace is is a thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that prevents moisture from entering the crawl space through the dirt floors to keep the crawl space safe for storage.

Drainage matting was installed underneath the CleanSpace. Its dimpled design creates channels for standing water under the encapsulation system to disperse.

Don M. has peace of mind that he can use his crawl space for storage without fear of water damage and his insulation will end up saving him money on his energy bills.

Martha R. of Springfield, IL had water leaks in her basement. She had long cracks across her foundation walls that leaked and years old water intrusion had left them an eyesore. Even though she had a sump pump, it was unable to keep up with the amount of water getting in and the belongings she had stored there were still threatened with water damage so she called Woods Basement Systems. After thoroughly inspecting the basement, Design Specialist Greg B. recommended installing PowerBraces and a new waterproofing system.

Woods installed PowerBraces along the cracked walls. PowerBraces were adjustable, zinc-coated steel beams that are cut to fit the exact height of the basement. They are fit firmly against the walls and held in place by steel brackets attached to the cement floors and floors joists above. They are rust resistant and will prevent future damage to the walls. They can be tightened during dry periods for the opportunity to improve the wall.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is situated away from any mud or debris as it collected intruding water from the foundation walls and floors, using its wall flanges and channel holes, and drains it to the sump pump.

To fix this problem, Michael H. turned to the experts at Woods Basement Systems, who advised the use of PolyLevel™.

Worried the cracks will become larger or start leaking, she decided to fix the foundation problem once and for all. She called Woods Basement Systems to install a solution to her foundation problem.

We sent our foremen Jose Lorenzana and his team out to Heather’s home to install our patented Push Piers.

When concrete is poured, it is usually poured in slabs that are placed next to one another. Sealant is installed between the slabs to keep them from grinding against one another and to keep things like rainwater from leaking underneath and eroding the soil beneath the concrete. Unfortunately, this seal sometimes doesn't last. Other cracks might also appear in the concrete as the slab shifts and settles. 

These cracks are not just ugly, but can also weaken the concrete further over time. Water can seep through these gaps and erode the soil beneath and the natural expanding and contracting that the concrete slabs experience can cause them to grind up against one another or cause the cracks to worsen. To protect the slabs and improve the longevity of the sidewalk, these gaps must be resealed.

The orignal seal, as well as many DIY solutions that can be found at a home improvement store, might work for a while, but will often degrade and become unable to protect the concrete slabs. That's why the experts at Woods Basement Systems use NexusPro™ sealant. This sealant is a clear and tough sealant that can stand up to the pressures of concrete expanding and contracting. It's also waterproof and UV protected, meaning it won't wash away or get dried up by the sun. NexusPro™ will prevent water from leaking beneath the slabs and can keep the slabs and cracks from grinding against each other and dealing more damage. 

Once all the debris is cleared from the gaps and cracks, NexuPro™ will be installed and these slabs will be protected from water damage and grinding.

In Lake Saint Louis, Missouri homeowners Joe and Cathy L. found large cracks in the floors and walls of their basement. When they started to find more cracks around the inside and outside of their home, they decided to find a solution to fix their foundation once and for all. At Woods Basement Systems, we have the perfect solution to stabilize the foundation of your home.  

We sent our foremen Jose Lorenzana and his team out to the couple’s home to install Push Piers. Our patented Push Piers are specially designed to stabilize and lift your home back into its original position. Supporting the home for years to come, as well as ensuring that the home is safe from anymore cracks forming in the foundation

When homes are constructed, a large amount of earth is removed to make room for the foundations. After the foundations are constructed, this earth is returned in a process called backfilling. Backfilled earth is often loosely compressed, which can cause problems for the foundation walls over time.

The loose earth will often expand and contract with changes in the weather. Clays in the soil in particular gain a large amount of volume when they get wet, causing thme to expand. This expansion can press against the foundation walls and, over time, cause cracks and bowing.

In order to fix bowing walls and make sure the expansion of the soils around the home doesn't continue to threaten the structure, wall anchors are installed. Wall anchors work by attaching a plate to the inside of the wall and connecting it to an anchor plate buried in the compact soil that was not dug up during the construction process. This anchor plate will help to pull the wall even as the expanding soil pushes it. The result is a permanently strengthened foundation wall that can even be straightened back to its original position over time. 

For this home in Springfield, IL., bowing walls won't be a concern anymore thanks to the permanent support of the wall anchor system. 

Many foundation windows are built with a small semi-circular pit in front of the them called a window well. Window wells are designed to allow the window to let in natrual light by blocking back the dirt that would otherwise be pressed against the window.

Window wells are useful, particularly in homes where the foundation windows would otherwise be slightly below the surface of theground. Unfortunately, window wells can cause a problem. The window well that was designed to keep dirt out might also work to hold water in. This water is held by the window well against the window and foundation wall. This could cause the water to leak in around the window and ruin the basement. 

In larger window wells like the ones that surround an egress window, a more comprehensive system may be needed to keep the area dry and prevent leaks from getting inside. For these window wells in Sherman, IL. all that was needed was a new window well cover. 

While working on a larger project in this home, foreman Jesse C. took the time to clear the window wells out and add several clear window well covers to keep water and debris like leaves or dirt from getting into the window well. The covers will prevent water from getting in while still allowing sunlight into the basement. This simple fix can help alleviate leaking around foundation windows like these. 

If your home experiences leaks around the foundation windows, consider adding window wells with window well covers to keep the earth and rain back from the window. 

Uninsulated crawlspaces can increase the energy costs of the home substantially. Crawlspaces will allow unconditioned outside air to enter below the home. This outside air will then rise through the home and make the living spaces less comfortable.

Many crawlspaces can't be insulated properly because they are not protected from water leaks and vapor, but those that are should be insulated. Insulating the crawlspace includes blocking any windows and adding insulation to the gaps between the floor joists that make up the ceiling of the crawlspace. 

Usually, spray foam insulation is used in these areas as it is difficult to shape other forms of insulation to the space. In this home in Urbana, IL. sealed blocks of insulation are installed and spray foam is used as a supplement to block the cracks and offer total insulation. 

Once the crawlspace is totally insulated, uncomfortable outside air won't be able to enter the home from below. This will help save the homeowner on energy costs related to heating and cooling their home, making the cost of insulating a small investment with huge payoffs.

Dirt crawlspaces can be incredibly harmful to the longevity of a home. This is because dirt crawlspaces offer the vulnerable underside of the home no protection from hazards such as pests, water vapor and mold. These things can rise through the dirt and impact the floor joists that make up the roof of the crawlspace - and support your floor!

CleanSpace™ is a tear-proof and waterproof liner that incapsulates a crawlspace, totally protecting it from the dangers of having a dirt floor. Water and water vapor that rises from the dirt gets blocked by the liner and directed to a sump pump to be drained away from the home. CleanSpace™ also has an anti-microbial layer that will block mold and prevent mold from growing on the surface of CleanSpace™.
