Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement window was leaking in Freeburg, IL, and the water was pooling onto the floor. To solve this issue, a WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This will drain water from the window well and into the WaterGuard System, guiding it to the sump system to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come! 

A foundation was cracking in Freeburg, IL, and water was leaking out of it. To solve these issues, GeoLock Wall Anchors were first installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. These can be installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, sinks, or furniture. This is the best solution to straighten the wall over time, as it can fix severe problems and stabilize the foundation for good.

Next, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System, which will then carry this water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and stable for years to come!

Leaking basements are no good for anyone. Water damages valuables, stains floors and walls, and makes it hard to make good use of the space. This Roxana, Illinois homeowner had this problem, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

A Woods team installed several waterproofing products, including WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a gutter-like drainage system that is put underneath the floor at the base of the walls. This catches any and all leaks before they can make it into the space, keeping the basement totally dry.

South Roxana, Illinois homeowners Robert and Brenda had an area of their year that would not drain. They gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke B. developed a plan for them. 

Foreman Donald A. and his crew installed SillPlate Draintile and an exterior sump pump. The SillPlate Draintile is a system that is installed along the side of the home. We dig 12" down and install waterproofing along the edge of the home and bottom of the hole so all water must go into the draintile. Once in the draintile, the water is moved to a sump pump where it is pumped away from the home. 

Robert and Brenda can now work in their landscaping without flooding and know their foundation is safe as well. 

Robert and Shirley M. of Cottage Hils, Illinois were troubled by water leaking into their garage. Because of the steep grade of their driveway, water easily flowed into their garage.

Foreman Ryan L. installed a trench drain. The trench drain collects water before it can enter further into the garage. The drain then guides the water away from the home. Robert and Shirley are glad the water will stay away.
