Before & After Photos

A sump pump was not functioning properly in Caseyville, IL, so 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 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 remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A sidewalk in Caseyville, IL, was unleveled and had large gaps running through the concrete slabs. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used to level out the concrete. This system works by drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath. The foam then expands to lift and level the concrete. Next, NexusPro™ was used to fill in the gaps in between the concrete slabs. This flexible sealant with withstand any harsh weather the homeowner may receive, as it is very durable. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their concrete will remain in great shape!

Is there ever a time when it's acceptable for your basement to get wet?  If your answer is, "No," then take a few notes from these Fairview Heights homeowners.

This newly-purchased home in Fairview Heights was experiencing an ungodly amount of water seepage through the block foundation, and the basement was always damp.  Drywall and wooden cabinetry had been ruined with mold, and the homeowners wanted to keep their basement dry all the time.

Woods Basement Systems installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to drain water from the basement walls, from under the floor, and at the wall/floor joint.  The crew also installed BrightWall, an inorganic wall covering to drain wall seepage into the drainage system.  Finally, the TripleSafe sump pump system with battery backup ensures that pump failure, large rains, and power outages are no match for this dry basement.

Homeowners in Fairview Heights, IL had a leaky basement wall and selected BrightWall to be installed as a solution. BrightWall works to direct seeping water into the drainage system and improves the overall visual appeal of the basement.
