Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement was leaking in Flora, IL, and needed to be addressed before issues of mold arise. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

Craig, Findlay, Illinois homeowner, was concerned with water leaking into his basement. The water pooled in his basement and risked damaging the items he stored there. Craig had a sump pump, but it failed to keep the basement dry. System Design Specialist Greg B. designed a solution.

In addition to WaterGuard, Team Woods installed a new sump pump system. This system was equipped with a sealed lid, so water and moisture cannot escape from the sump. This waterproofing system keeps Craig's basement dry, so he no longer fears water pooling in his basement.

Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Findlay, IL, creating a damp and musty environment. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will separate the crawlspace from the earth and will reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. Lastly, the white color will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. This crawlspace will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Stopping all the leaks in this Fairfield, Illinois basement included the installation of our WaterGuard® drainage system and ThermalDry® wall covering for the block foundation so that the homeowner could finish the basement again...for the last time. Repairing the bowing walls were also important for the sake of the warranty and resell value!

These Fairfield, IL homeowners had an old, dirty sump pump that was not able to keep up with the amount of water in and around their basement. They contacted Woods Basement Systems to get an estimate on the cost of replacing the old sump pump as well as other option for waterproofing their basement.

As part of our WaterGuard waterproofing system, the customers selected the TwinPack Sump Pump with a primary and secondary pump. In case of primary pump failure, the secondary pump will kick in. Also, the pumps can work in unison in the case of a large volume of water.
