Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Window well drains need to stay clog free and free flowing.  Draining a window well to daylight to a point down hill from the home is the best solution.  But what if the yard is level?  Having a clog-free interior drain is the best option, called WellDuct®.  We installed our WellDuct® on the interior basement wall to the exterior window well of this Edwardsville, Illinois home.  We drained it into a section of our WaterGuard® system and tied that into the existing drainage system that leads to the homeowner's sump pump.  To make sure a basement stays dry all the time, we recommend our upgrade sump pump system with battery backup called TripleSafe® and a perimeter WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system.

During our service call, Scott told the homeowner about our better window wells.  They decided to purchase several of our SunHouse window wells for a better looking appearance for their home.

This basement block foundation was leaking into the basement at several different points along the perimeter.  The waterguard accepts water leaking into the basement from below the basement floor, under the basement wall and footing and water draining down the block wall.  The Waterguard basement waterproofing system is a one piece pipe that directs the water flooding this basement straight to the sump pump and keeps the basement floor dry.

The waterproofing system in this basement could not keep up with the amount of incoming water during heavy rains.  The resident was tired of dealing with a wet basement, so Woods Basement Systems replaced the old waterproofing system with WaterGuard to permanently waterproof the basement.

This homeowner in Edwardsville, IL decided to have our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, complete with our WaterGuard system, installed in his home. Now he can enjoy a dry basement and have piece of mind knowing his sump pump has an extra pump in the unlikely event the first pump fails, as well as a battery back-up pump to work during power outages.
