Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A sump pump was failing in Urbana, IL, not pumping water out as it should. To fix this, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This sump system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was leaking down the walls in a basement in Urbana, IL, so 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 separates it from the soil under the floor so it will never clog. It will also drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A sump pump was failing to operate properly in Urbana, IL, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water.

Additionally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This efficient, high-capacity, dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the basement. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the TripleSafe, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

This Urbana, Illinois homeowner Tom had cracks in the walls of his basement and exterior of the home. He decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call to see what the best solution would be. From there, Team Woods' system design specialist, Greg B., developed the most ideal plan as a solution. 

Foreman Kevin and his crew installed the Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are steel rods that are drilled through the foundation wall and past the active soil line. They use the earth in order to provide the resistance the walls need to keep the dirt and water out. 

Tom can now enjoy his basement and trust it is going to remain stable and dry. 

This leaky basement wasn't able to protect itself from heavy rainstorms. Also, the snow during the winter had melted, which resulted in water leaking into the basement. To solve this, Team Woods installed a WaterGuard drainage system around the basement and updated the home's sump pump system to a TripleSafe pump.
