Before & After Photos

Many basements experience water leakage where the wall meets the floor. That's because water can build up beneath the house by the footing. This water eventually seeps in through the gap between the wall and the floor. 

Basement walls can also leak through gaps and cracks, adding to the water seeping into the basement. Block walls often face this problem, as water permeates the many cracks between the blocks.

One waterproofing system is specifically designed to handle water soaking through those places. The system is called WaterGuard­™. WaterGuard™ is installed on top of the foundation, beneath the floor - where it will catch water before it rises above the floor - and against the wall, where it will catch water that drips down the cracks of the wall.

All this water is directed away from the basement and into the sump pump system where it will be pumped out of the home. With WaterGuard™ installed in the perfect spot, water leaks through the floor or through the wall are handled together.

A walkway in Mount Zion, IL was sinking and needed to be leveled. The homeowner noticed the walkway continuously getting worse and reached out to Woods for a solution. Our team used the PolyLevel™ System, which works by injecting the concrete with a durable foam that sets and expands, lifting the concrete back to its original position. To finish it off, the team seals the concrete joints with our NexusPro™ Joint Sealant. This prevents water and debris from infiltrating between the slabs. With these in place, the walkway will be leveled and ready for use within hours, not days!  

After 12 years of dealing with water coming through cracks in the walls every time it rained, this homeowner finally decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call.  The old sump pump couldn’t keep up with the large amounts of water, resulting in a flooded basement and nasty overloaded sump pump.  Woods installed a TripleSafe sump pump in order to offer complete protection for the homeowner.  The three-pump system gives the area a clean look and more importantly, keeps the basement dry -  resulting in a happy homeowner who can rest assured that in the next heavy rain the sump has the triple power to get the water out!

Daniel K. of Shelbyville, Illinois had water leaking into his basement, so he decided to call Woods BAsement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, Luke B. was able to find a solution and recommended installing a Twin Pack sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Joshua B. installed the products. The Twin Pack sump pump is a pair of stainless steel pumps used to protect your home against flooding and leaks. WaterGuard is placed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it works to collect water that seeps through basement walls. It then guides that collected water to the sump pump where it can be removed from the home. 

Now Daniel K. has a dry basement. 

Homeowners in Bethany, IL wanted to replace their basement window well, as it was rising and water was entering it. To solve this issue, the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. It will never rust, rot, or corrode, and will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home!
