Scott was wonderful good guy knowledgable smart new what he was doing
By Nancy
There are areas in the cement that have white spots on them- I try to wipe it off. My basement has been dry, but there doesn't seem to be any water in the drain, so where did it go?
By Theresa
If my house does sell soon, I may be interested in having the orange wall put up in my entire basement. If that is even an option. I like how it made my stairway look clean and fresh.
By Jenny
the most valuable improvement in my home. the basement is dry as bone still today and i would highly recommend the service to anyone.
By Matt
The only issue I have (and it's a small one) is some confusion on who services our account. Woods did all of the installations and the first several years of annual inspections, but the last two years I was directed to Mid-America Basement Systems then this year I received a card from Woods. I prefer Woods to do the inspections.
By Clayson
Even though I did not get the color of Turtl I asked for, the install was done well and installers were courteous and professional and left no debris.
By Thad
Overall was very impressed with the clean space system. We live in a very wet area and needed something better than plastic. It has already made a difference in the smell in the house. We have a two pump system so if power goes out it will still work. Thanks for the great work. Thad
By Marshall
Melvin was the best in selling me the indoor system. I didnt want to tear up my finished room but he said it had lifetime warranty
By Victor
The crew that performed the work on my driveway did a great job & were very conscientious about making sure it was done correctly.

Other than the pricing, everything I experienced with woods was well done. :)
By John
Juan/Mike were excellent. The whole crew did a great job.
By Jamie
Very professionally run organization. I just hope that the additional crawlspace supports will prevent further settling and cracking in the drywall. I will know over time.
By Mary
I could have used more instructions with the dehumidifier. But overall, I'm happy and relieved that the work was done by such a responsible, reliable company. Thank you.
By Pamela
I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the crew who worked here. I was informed of what was going on during the process and my questions were answered. They were very personable and professional, a true asset to your company. They arrived on time and completed the job in a day. The cleanup was great and the finished product looks amazing. Best decision I have made in awhile.

    Moisture in Crawlspace Eliminated with CleanSpace in Bismarck, MO

    Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Bismarck, MO causing condensation to form on the air vents and make the crawlspace humid. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system was installed. This liner completely isolates the crawlspace from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air, which will eliminate mold growth and rot from the crawlspace and make the whole house healthier. The bright white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allows one to easily see that the crawlspace is free of mold, insects, and dirt. This crawlspace will remain clean and dry for years to come!

    Waterguard Installation in Ridge Farm, IL

    David G. of Ridge Farm, Illinois discovered that his home's basement was holding water after heavy rain showers. He did not want to have to continuously pump out the water, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

    Design specialist Gregory B. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Mason S. then headed to the home to get the job started. 

    The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the basement surface. It then drains the water to the sump pump.

    David G. no longer has to worry about water entering his home's basement. He now has a dry and waterproof home.

    Crawlspace Support in Westville, IL

    A crawlspace in Westville, IL needed some structural support. The current support blocks were failing, causing cracks and separation of the beams. To solve this issue, Woods installed the SmartJack System. These will stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. These will also lift the floors above the crawl space back toward their original elevation and reduce floor bounce caused by weakened floor joists or excessive spans. This crawlspace will remain stable and supported for years to come!
