What Woods Basement Systems, Inc. does

Woods Basement Systems, Inc. is a family-owned home services contractor that specializes in basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting and leveling. Founded in 1986 by Rick and Anna Lee Woods and headquartered in Collinsville, Illinois, the company serves residential homeowners, commercial property managers, and realtors across a defined Illinois-Missouri corridor stretching from Champaign, IL to Poplar Bluff, MO and from Columbia, MO to Mt. Carmel, IL on the Indiana border.

The company's technical foundation rests on a portfolio of branded, patented systems installed by its own crews. Core waterproofing offerings include the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system, TripleSafe multi-pump sump with UltraSump battery backup, IceGuard anti-freeze discharge fitting, DryTrak baseboard system, and French drain exteriors. Foundation repair is delivered via the Geo-Lock wall anchor system, Push Pier system, and helical piles. Crawl space work centers on CleanSpace vapor barriers, support jacks, and the Turtl entryway system, complemented by SaniDry XP dehumidification. Concrete leveling is performed using the PolyLevel high-density polyurethane foam injection process. Products are sourced through Foundation SupportWorks and other partners, then installed by extensively trained company servicemen.

Woods operates a direct-to-consumer, sales-led model with field representatives conducting on-site inspections and providing free written estimates via phone and web inquiry. Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time professional installation and repair project fees rather than recurring contracts; no subscription or managed-service layer is disclosed. The company is privately held under family ownership, with 101-250 employees, no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity. Marketing is delivered through a multi-channel mix including website, blog with 17 technical papers, social media, radio, video testimonials, and a referral program, with a dedicated Director of Marketing function.
