Before & After Photos

Water was leaking in a corner of a basement in Maroa, IL, causing mold to grow on the walls. To solve this issue, a partial CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will act as a drain curtain that will make sure that water can drain directly into the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it from the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry all the time!

This Ridgway, Illinois basement was in need of waterproofing materials. Woods Basement Systems was able to install the products in just one day, fixing the homeowners water problem forever!

This home in Altamont, IL. was experiencing water leaks through the tiny gap between the foundation walls and the floor. Although they had a sump pump to remove water in the home, the homeowners needed a perimeter drainage system to collect the leaks and direct them to the sump pump.

The best system for them was WaterGuard™. WaterGuard™ is a specially designed perimeter drainage system that gets installed directly on top of the footing just beneath the floor. Because it is on top of the footing, WaterGuard™ stays clear of the mud that surrounds the footing. Since it is out of the mud, WaterGuard™ doesn't need filter fabrics, which can clog and make other systems ineffective over time. WaterGuard™ will collect water as it rises above the footing, redirecting it to the sump pump before it can rise above the surface of the floor.

WaterGuard™ was installed along the walls around the existing sump pump and drained into the sump pit. This way, WaterGuard™ was able to work with existing waterproofing systems to keep the basement dry and protected.

Concrete is a heavy material and so are the vehicles, machinery, and structures that concrete slabs and footings are expected to support. Sometimes, the combined weight of concrete and what it supports causes concrete settlement to occur. The soil beneath the concrete compresses and can cause major problems.

This can cause problems at your home as well. Uneven sidewalks, walkways, and steps can cause tripping, and sunken driveway slabs can make parking your car in the garage quite a challenge. PolyLevel® is designed specifically to repair this type of problem in Decatur, Ballwin, Belleville, Champaign, St. Peters, Saint Louis and neighboring areas.
