Before & After Photos

Water was coming down a basement wall in Hamel, IL, as well as entering through the window. Also, a large crack was forming on the wall and causing more problems. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the WaterGuard System, which was installed next. This perimeter drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes.

Additionally, a WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This channel is placed on the inside of the basement below the window that will carry water from a leaking window to the WaterGuard System. Lastly, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. Thanks to these systems, this basement will now remain dry and stable all the time!

This home in Murphysboro, Illinois is only 22 years old and had never flooded before...until this last year, when startled home owners awoke to 4 inches of water in their basement. Woods Basement Systems immediately went to work to keep this basement dry all the time—including the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. 

A typical crawl space will develop typical crawl space problems: musty odors, damp air, and water leaks. Even if you don't use your crawl space for storage, these issues will impact the home's living areas. Air typically flows upward in a house. But since Woods Basement Systems installed a CleanSpace system, the owner of this home enjoys a clean and dry crawl space. 

Ted and Barbara P. from Ballwin, MO called Woods Basement Systems for a solution to their wet and damp basement. We installed our TripleSafe sump pump which is the most reliable sump pump system. The TripleSafe provides 3 levels of protection which is reliable with Cast-Iron Zoeller, powerful with secondary pump and long-lasting with UltraSump. By the means of all these three properties, now Ted and Barbara is proud of their dry and comfortable basement.

This Murphysboro, Illinois basement was constantly inundated with leaks during periods of rain. The constant moisture made it difficult to make effective use of the space, and the homeowner was fed up. A Woods Basement Systems team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water before it's able to make it onto the floor. They also installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier over the wall to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth.
