Before & After Photos

Basement water leaks can present quite a problem if the homeowner uses the space for food or valuables storage. Moisture is very bad for clothing, wood, and other storage container materials. This Hoyleton, Illinois homeowner was experiencing issues with water running down his walls and pooling on the floor, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team first installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water and prevent it from making it onto the floor. To finish, a CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed over a large portion of the walls to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. Just look at the difference!

This crawl space is now sealed with a vapor barrier and equipped with a sump pump system to combat moisture, mold, and humidity.

A sidewalk in Athens, IL, was unleveled and littered with cracks. Additionally, large gaps were forming in between the concrete slabs as a result of the unevenness. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. This system works by drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath the concrete. The foam expands, lifting the concrete slabs up to level them out. This foam hardens to become rock solid within hours. Next, NexusPro™ is used to fill in the gaps and cracks. This system will withstand against any harsh weather conditions the homeowner may receive. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest assured that their concrete will remain in great shape! 

Leaking basement walls can lead to damage and essentially render the space unusable. This was the case with a Mulkeytown, Illinois homeowner who was plagued with leaks any time that it rained, leading her to call Woods Basement Systems to waterproof her space. WaterGuard, a gutter-like drainage system that is placed underneath the floor at the base of the walls, was installed to catch any leaks. After this, a TwinPack sump pump was put in place. Equipped with two independently operating pumps, the TwinPack is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour! These measures will keep the basement totally try into the foreseeable future. 

This crawl space in Du Bois, Illinois needed protecting from the outer elements and needed a fresh, new look. Team Woods solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier system onto the floor and walls to protect the crawl space. CleanSpace will prevent water leaks from causing damage and will prevent the insulation from falling.
