Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement in Fairview Heights had a sump pump installed previously that was not effectively keeping water out. Woods came and added an extra sump pump to assist called an UltraSump Pump. This pump is battery-operated, only activating in the case of a power outage. If the old sump pump has issues removing the collected water, this other pump will turn on to assist. With this installation in place, this basement is sure to stay dry for many years to come.

Doing a complete basement waterproofing drainage system means installing WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement.  Going around hot water heaters and under stair steps are common obstacles.  We carefully remove a section of the basement floor along the wall which means going under basement stairs sometimes.  Then the waterproofing drainage is installed that takes the water flooding the basement to a sump pump.  The concrete floor that was removed is then replaced in the basement.

Chris and Bethany K. had two old sump pumps that had long since stopped working. They were getting water in their basement and their old waterproofing system was doing nothing to help so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a full perimeter waterproofing system.

As shown in the pictures, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System replaced they two old pumps. The TripleSafe contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps and a battery back up pump so, even in severe weather conditions that cause power outages, water will be pumped out and away from the basement and it will remain dry.

Virginia H. of Belleville, IL had always had a leaky basement but during one big thunderstorm, an alarming amount of water got leaked in and caused a big mess. She was tired of dealing with the leaks and mess so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the TripleSafe as part of that waterproofing system. The TripleSafe contains three pumps, including a battery back up pump, to expel intruding water safely away from the basement through its discharge lines. The TripleSafe can deal with weather ranging from light showers to severe thunderstorms. In the event of a power outage, the battery back up pump can remove up to 11,000 gallons of water from the basement on a fully charged battery.

The sump pump is the most crucial component of any basement waterproofing system. If the sump pump isn't up to the task, then there will be problems. This Belleville, Illinois homeowner was interested in replacing his old sump pit because it was simply not doing the job. A Woods Basement Systems team replaced this old sump pump with a brand new TripleSafe sump system. Capable of handling well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour the TripleSafe is a different animal. Just look at that difference!
