Before & After Photos

Kent and Susan T. of Gillespie, IL had water coming in through cracks in their ledge wall as well as the wall joints of the foundation walls. They were worried about their stored belongings becoming damaged so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

CleanSpace was installed along the walls of the basement as part of the waterproofing system. Besides giving the basement a brighter, cleaner appearance, it forms a moisture barrier over the walls to prevent water from entering the basement and guides the water down to the perimeter drainage system.

A foundation was shifting in a basement in Gillespie, IL causing cracks to appear and leak water. To solve this issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchors were first installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good.

\Additionally, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!

This Addieville, Illinois basement was experiencing water-leak issues anytime it rained heavily. The homeowner was tired of constantly mopping his floors, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. In order to waterproof the space, a Woods team first installed an under-floor WaterGuard drainage system at the base of the leaking walls to catch any water. After this, a TripleSafe sump pump was put in place to remove all of that water from the home. 

In Waverly, Illinois homeowner John L. had a problem with rainwater in his basement. He called Woods Basement Systems to see if they could waterproof the space. Foreman Juan Hernandez and his team installed a waterproofing system to keep the space dry for years to come. Patented products like WaterGuard, IceGuard, and CleanSpace were installed in the basement in just one day.

Water was entering a basement in Carlinville, IL, so the WaterGuard System was first installed. This system has a design that separates it from the soil under the floor so it will never clog. It will also drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. 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 remain clean and dry for years to come!
