In Brookport, Illinois homeowner Shirley B. was concerned about her home and it’s foundation. She had recently noticed how her doors and windows were becoming harder to open and close. More recently, she was finding small hairline cracks around her home near doors and windows. Concerned about the well-being of her home and family, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems.
We sent our foreman Jose Lorenzana and his team out to the Brookport home to install our patented PushPiers. PushPiers are made of steel, permanently stabilizing your home’s foundation. In many cases, this solution can also lift your home back toward level, closing cracks and improving the operation of doors and windows. This was the perfect solution for Shirley’s problem, and she will not have to worry about her home or family again.
Grantsburg, IL residents Ronald and Theresa B. were concerned about their basement leaking at the floor and wall joint during heavy rains. Luckily, System Design Specialist Sam W. knew that the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System would help keep their basement dry! Foreman Devan B. and his crew installed this durable and effective system, and now Theresa and Ronald can rest assured that their basement is now waterproofed!
A driveway in Auburn, IL, was unleveled and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. 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 foam then expands, lifting the concrete slabs up to level them out. This foam also hardens to become rock-solid within hours, meaning the homeowner can use their driveway later that same day. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their driveway is in great shape!
The BrightWall Paneling System turns basements that may otherwise have been unusable into attractive, dry living spaces. BrightWall is attached to the walls with special fasteners that will never come off. It provides a clean, bright, semi-finished look to the basement walls while draining any leaks down to the water drainage system. BrightWall looks great and is an extremely durable wall system option.
Homeowners in Carterville, IL had cracks in their basement walls that would leak water into their basement.
To protect their home from water seeping in, foreman Dave P. and his crew installed CleanSpace™ vapor barrier on the walls. This tough material is waterproof and mold-resistant. Once it's permanently secured to the walls, any leaks on the other side will be guided down into the home's drainage system and out of the basement.
Thanks to the great work from Dave P. and his crew, the cracks in this basement wall won't leak water in anymore and the homeowners can safely store their belongings without worrying about water damage.
