Basement walls were cracking in Centralia, IL, causing water to leak through them and pool onto the floor. To solve the wall issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was 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.
To solve the water issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!
This crawlspace in Centralia had been dirtied and unstable. With the help of the CleanSpace™ encapsulation system keeping the mold out of the crawlspace and the SmartJack™ beams holding the rest of the home from collapsing on it, this space will be safer to access and give this homeowner a peace of mind.
A crawlspace in Belleville, IL, was humid and needed to be addressed. The homeowners decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used. This highly durable liner will not only keep the humidity out, but other outside elements as well. A sump pump was then installed to discharge the water out of the crawlspace. With these systems in place, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will remain dry for years to come!
Homeowner Cody from Riverton, Illinois wanted to work with Woods Basement Systems to waterproof his wet and musty basement. Team Woods sent out system design specialist, Chris M., to the house to see what products would best waterproof and protect Cody's basement from water damage. After inspecting the basement, Chris recommended utilizing a WaterGuard drainage system along with a CleanSpace encapsulation system to keep the basement healthy and dry.
There are some bad sump pumps out there, but Darren's rectangular hole-in-the-ground really wasn't winning any beauty contests. It didn't take much convincing for Darren to upgrade to a Twin Pack sump pump. A backup pump, an airtight floor drain built into the lid, a pump stand, and a WaterWatch Alarm never sounded so good!
