Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Janice E. had a very wet crawl space in her Philo, IL home. Water leaked in through the foundation walls and gravel floors and made the crawl space very humid. The high humidity had begun to rot the wood floor joists above. Her store-bought dehumidifier did little to nothing to keep the relative humidity low and it was a chore to empty the collection tray every time it was full so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.  

Woods replaced the store-bought dehumidifier with the SaniDry dehumidifier as part of the encapsulation system. The SaniDry can remove up to 109 pints of water from the crawl space air per day while using the same amount of energy as the store-bought unit. It’s self-draining so no more hassle emptying a full collection tray. It keeps relative humidity low in the crawl space to prevent rot and conditions that foster mold growth.

Philo, Illinois homeowner Janice E. was troubled by mold taking over her crawl space. The mold was a result of water seepage and high humidity levels. Though she attempted to dry up the crawl space with fans, she was unsuccessful. System design specialist Greg B. designed a solution to keep the mold at bay.

As part of the solution, Foreman James L. installed SaniDry. SaniDry is an energy efficient dehumidifier. SaniDry was installed in combination with the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. SaniDry keeps the humidity levels low without hiking energy costs. 

With this system, Janice no longer has to worry about allergens like mold and dust mites lurking in her crawl space and home.

A Thomasboro, Illinois resident was tired of dealing with a wet basement every time it rained.  The basement did not have a proper waterproofing system, so there was nothing to carry the water to the sump pump and out of the home.  The homeowner wanted to use his unfinished basement for storage but could not do so because of the incoming water.

Woods installed WaterGuard and a UltraSump in order to permanently waterproof the basement. The WaterGuard system intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it safely away. The UltraSump is guaranteed to perform reliably for many years. Both of these products work together to keep the resident’s basement dry all the time.

Richard C. of Granite City, IL noticed water coming into his basement where the floor meets the foundation wall. He contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free evaulation. Specialist Nolan M. determined that a WaterGuard waterproofing system needed to be installed to keep the water out. This gallery shows the process of installing WaterGuard in the basement under the stairs as well as how it is directed into the sump pump.

Water was entering a basement in Rantoul, IL, causing damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
