Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

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 basement in Urbana, Illinois needed protecting from water leaks. After heavy rains water would leak into this home creating water stains on the floor. Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard french drains into the footing of the basement to collect the water leaks before they could create harm.
