Quality Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair & more in Altamont, IL

Homeowners in Altamont, IL had water leaking into their basement.  Our team installed the TripleSafe and WaterGuard to collect the water and pump it out of the home.  The WaterGuard lines the perimeter of the basement and collects the water and drains it into the sump pump.  TripleSafe is a sump pump that is made up of a three-pump system and UltraSump battery in case of a power outage.  The homeowners are happy with their new systems and a dry basement!

If you don't have a waterproofing system in your basement, you are only waiting for a water leak to create destruction. All basements at some point will experience a water leak. Are you ready for it? 

To protect this basement, Team Woods installed a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard drains, and a LawnScape outlet. This Altamont, Illinois basement previously didn't have any waterproofing products, and now it's protected. Just look at the difference!
