Before & After Photos

A crawlspace in Springfield, IL, was humid and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used. This highly durable liner will not only look nicer, it will also keep the humidity and other outside elements out. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will remain dry and in great shape! 

This homeowner had an old and open sump pump that wasn't performing very well, not to mention it didn't have a lid on it.  Therefore, debris and insects could have easily fallen in and then clogged up the pump.  This homeowner upgraded with a Triple Safe Sump Pump.  This means they gained triple the pumps to make sure the basement stays dry and a screwed tight lid to make sure nothing can get inside.

Peter R. of Springfield, IL had an old, rusted sump pump sitting in an open sump pit. The pump was no longer working properly and the flooding issues Peter thought he’d resolved were happening again so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Woods replaced the old, failing pump the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe has three pumps that sit inside a closed sump liner: a primary, secondary and battery back up pump so that no matter how severe the weather gets or if the power goes out, Peter’s basement will stay dry.

This Springfield, Illinois homeowner was having issues with water coming in from behind some wooden paneling in his basement. Because he used the space as a work area, the constant leaks were a big problem for him. A Woods Basement Systems team, after cutting away parts of the paneling, installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all leaks. 

There are several things that can be done outside to help protect the basement from leaks and floods. The most obvious of these things is to make sure the ground pitches away from the home, forcing water to flow away from the house rather than against it. 

Another option is to extend rain gutters and downspouts. This will collect the water and direct it further from the home. This was done for Sharon T. in Springfield, IL. as an extra measure to keep water away from the home's foundation.

Michael B. was able to install an underground line that connected to the downspout and carried water further away from the home. When he was done installing the pipe, he replaced the turf to hide the line from sight. Now the home has that extra layer of water protection outside without ugly pipes and extensions sitting on top of the yard.
