White County's Trusted Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Basement Waterproofing Contractor & Foundation Repair Contractor

A Carmi, IL resident was tired of dealing with a wet basement every time it rained for the past 22 years.  The water would come in through cracks in the walls and at the floor joints during heavy rains.  She was concerned about the possibility of mold and wanted a dry basement that she could use for storage.

Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard, IceGuard, and TrenchDrain in order to collect all of the water and lead it out and away from the house.  The resident was very pleased with the work that was done by Woods and said they were the most professional crew she has ever worked with.

In an effort to make her Carmi, IL crawlspace look newer and cleaner, Amanda P. decided to have Woods Basement Systems install CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a plastic liner, good for basements and crawlspaces. The liner will help maintain temperature control in the home, and reduce moisture, which can cause mold spores and allergens. Thanks to CleanSpace and Woods Basement Systems, Amanda is now able to use her clean looking crawlspace for storage, and can rest easy knowing CleanSpace will protect her stored items from getting wet and moldy.

This Carmi IL resident had a dirt crawl space with no protection from the outside environment. This left it vulnerable to unwanted water, animals, and mold entering and leaving behind an odor that could be smelled within the house. Woods Basement Systems was able to install a CleanSpace Encapsulation system in the crawl space to seal it off from the outside, as well as our SmartSump sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space clean and dry.

Allen B. of Frontenac, Missouri noticed that his basement was collecting water. He did not want his basement to flood every time it rained, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Jake S. assessed the situation and solution with the homeowner. Foreman William H. traveled to the home to install a Waterguard drainage system and a CleanSpace Wall System. He also replaced the Zoeller 1/3 hp pump within the existing sump pump.

The Waterguard drainage system is placed above the footing of the basement and is then covered with concrete. It collects and drains any water coming up from the ground to the sump pump before it reaches the basement surface. The CleanSpace Wall System is made of a plastic liner that is placed over the walls. It acts as a vapor barrier and drains any leaks behind it. The Zoeller 1/3 hp pump is the main pump and is responsible for pumping the water most of the time. 

Allen B. no longer has to worry about a wet and leaking basement. He now has a waterproof and dry home.

Norris City, Illinois homeowner Shelly did an at home test kit and the results showed high radon levels in her home. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Barry developed a mitigation plan that would work for her home. 

Foreman Mike P. and his crew installed the radon mitigation system. The radon mitigation system is a series of pipes that begin in the basement and run to the outside of the home and up past the steep of the home. This release the radon into the outside air where it can dissipate to safe levels. A fan is at the bottom of the pipes to blow the radon up through the piping. 

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, behind smoking, so lowering levels in your home is a safety must! 

Shelly no longer has to worry about the long term health effects on her family.

In order to support and level the retaining wall, foreman Kevin and his team installed several GeoLock fixtures. These work by attaching heavy anchors buried deep in the firm soil several yards away from the home to steel plates affixed to the inside surface of the wall, effectively pulling it outward over time and preventing any further movement. Jim and Robin can rest easy now thanks to Woods Basement Systems!
