Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bethalto, Illinois resident's valuables were at risk to water damage when water began leaking into their basement. Foreman Greg Harvie installed the WaterGuard drain system, so now they can enjoy a dry basement without risk to their valubles.

Jim C. of Bethalto, IL has water leaking into his basement through his foundation walls and floors. The wood panelling he had over his foundation walls were completely water damaged. He'd had enough so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods installed a waterproofing system.



Woods removed the water damaged wood panelling and installed CleanSpace Wall Systems. As shown in the picture, CleanSpace is a thick, plastic vapor barrier that gives basement walls a clean appearance as well as prevents any water from entering the basement through the walls. It instead directs it to the drainage system.


WaterGuard was also installed as part of the waterproofing system. WaterGuard is installed along the walls and into the concrete, as seen in the picture, and concreted over. It sits on top of the footing of the basement, out of the way of any mud that might clog it, and it collects any water seeping in through the walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump.



Jim C. is happy his basement is dry and he no longer has to worry about water damage.

This Bethalto, Illinois home's basement was plagued with water leaks. After heavy periods of rain, the basement would be filled with pools of water that required regular cleanup. In order to waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed a WaterGuard drainage system underneath the flooring at the base of the leaking walls. These drains catch any and all leaks before they can make it onto the floor.

The homeowner was tired of dealing with constant cleanup, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

After this, a WaterGuard drainage system was installed at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water.
