Before & After Photos

This Ashland, Illinois home was dealing with a large foundation issue. The basement walls were covered in cracks due to settling foundation, letting in water and causing the home to be unstable. We installed our GeoLock system to permanently stabilize the home’s foundation. GeoLock permanently stabilizes foundation walls and can straighten walls back towards original position. Once tightened, the anchors hold wall securely in current position.

Ashland, Illinois homeowner Connie E. was dealing with a wet and leaking basement. She made a call to Woods Basement Systems after a recommendation from a neighbor who had a similar problem. Our foreman and crew came out to the home not late after for the installation. They installed several of our patented waterproofing products including WaterGuard, TripleSafe and IceGuard. Once these products were installed, the homeowner was relieved knowing her home would stay dry for years to come.

Water ruins carpet, drywall, electronics, and just about anything else that would be present in a finished basement. Repairs are time consuming and cost thousands, which is why it is essential to waterproof a space BEFORE finishing it. This Maryville, Illinois homeowner did the smart thing and called Woods Basement Systems to fix his leaking basement walls before he began finishing. A Woods team installed WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the walls to catch any and all water. 

Water leaks in this Edwardsville, Illinois basement caused mold growth on the wood paneling that led to problems for the homeowners. Now, after Woods Basement Systems redirected leaks in this home with our patented WaterGuard basement waterproofing system, this basement is dry—resulting in a dry, healthy living space.

It's important to ensure that once water hits the sump pump, that it will actually end up outside and not just end up back in the basement. Our IceGuard® acts as an ejection port for water to escape in case the sump pump discharge line gets clogged.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump offers three pumps with one being a battery backup to keep the basement dry all the time.  The covered lid for the sump pump also has a radon approved floor drain to properly operate for dehumidifier condensation lines.
