Before & After Photos

Before this Carbondale, Illinois project began, mudflow had to be cleaned up.  The block foundation had cracked and bowed under hydrostatic pressure, the basement had leaked, and mud was everywhere.  To secure the block foundation walls, Woods Basement Systems installed Geo-Lock™ wall anchors.  Once the foundation was stabilized, a waterproofing systems was installed around the perimeter.  The WaterGuard system rests on the concrete footing around the perimeter just below the slab floor.  The WellDuct system catches water that would otherwise build up inside the window well and drains the water to the WaterGuard and away to the sump pump.  This homeowner chose a dual sump pump system for double protection against groundwater seepage and a WaterWatch alarm to alert him of primary pump failure.

A foundation wall was bowing inward in Carbondale, IL, and large cracks were appearing. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
